AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
226 PM MST TUE FEB 15 2011

.DISCUSSION...
226 PM MST TUE FEB 15 2011

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE ON ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. SEE FIRE WEATHER SECTION OF THIS AFD FOR FURTHER
DETAILS REGARDING CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS WED AND THU.

UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS CONTINUES TO BE DOMINATED
BY WESTERLY ZONAL FLOW. THE FLOW ALOFT SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA BY WEDNESDAY...AS A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED TROUGH BUILDS
AND THEN PERSISTS ACROSS THE PACIFIC COAST. PERSISTENT WESTERLY
DOWNSLOPE AT THE SURFACE WILL HELP KEEP CONDITIONS VERY DRY AND WELL
ABOVE NORMAL WED AND THU...WITH WIDESPREAD HIGH TEMPS IN THE UPPER
60S LOW 70S. MY HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WED MAY NOT BE WARM ENOUGH
CONSIDERING THERE WILL BE BETTER MIXING THAN TODAY WITH SIMILAR
850MB TEMPS. TEMPERATURES ON THU SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN
WED...AS A WEAK COLD FRONT BEGINS TO PUSH SOUTH TOWARDS THE
CWA...EVENTUALLY PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA BY THURSDAY NIGHT.

WHILE PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS HAD SHOWN MORE OF A POST-FRONTAL COOL-DOWN
ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THE LATEST ECMWF/GEFS/GEM ALL BRING
SHORTWAVE RIDGING BACK INTO THE HIGH PLAINS ON FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY...RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES REMAINING WELL ABOVE NORMAL
BOTH DAYS. THE MAJORITY OF MODELS HAVE COME INTO REASONABLE
AGREEMENT ON THE PASSAGE OF A SHORTWAVE ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT
ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE
STRENGTH OF THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE AND 700MB LOWS...WHICH ALSO
EFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...AND THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR THAT IS ABLE TO ADVECT
SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE DEGREE OF SPREAD IN THE MODELS
SOLUTIONS WITH THESE KEY DETAILS...AND THE POOR RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY
LEAD TO A PARTICULARLY LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN THIS PERIOD. I
PRIMARILY USED HPC GUIDANCE HERE AS A COMPROMISE...WHICH BRINGS
TEMPS BACK TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS. IN REGARDS TO PRECIP IM NOT
PARTICULARLY CONFIDENT IN MEASURABLE PRECIP AT THIS POINT WITH THE
MID-LEVELS POTENTIALLY DRY...HOWEVER THE DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM MAY
BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR MIXING TO OVERCOME THE DRY MID-LEVELS SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY NIGHT...SO I LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST.

DR
&&

.AVIATION...
1008 AM MST TUE FEB 15 2011

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
A LEE TROUGH THAT MOVED OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING WILL BREAK DOWN
EARLY IN THE PERIOD AND REFORM TO THE WEST OF THE TERMINALS
OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL DECREASE AS THE TROUGH DISSOLVES...AND BEGIN
TO BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AS THE TROUGH REFORMS.

CJS
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
226 PM MST TUE FEB 15 2011

WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE ON WEDNESDAY WILL HELP DRY OUT THE LOW LEVELS
AND LEAD TO RH VALUES AT OR BELOW 15 PERCENT OVER WICHITA AND
GREELEY COUNTIES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THESE LOW RH VALUES COMBINED
WITH WINDS BETWEEN 15 AND 25 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH WILL LEAD
TO CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS IN THESE COUNTIES. RH VALUES NORTH OF
THIS MAY ALSO DROP TO THE 15 TO 20 PERCENT RANGE...HOWEVER WIND
SPEEDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS HIGH...SO I LIMITED THE RED FLAG
WANING TO GREELEY AND WICHITA COUNTIES.

NEAR CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH RH
VALUES ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70 BETWEEN 15 AND 20 PERCENT. WIND
SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER ON THURSDAY THAN ON
WEDNESDAY...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH ALONG AND
SOUTH OF I-70. RED FLAG CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET DEPENDING ON THE
TIMING/DURATION OF LOW RH VALUES DURING THE DAY...WITH A COLD FRONT
MOVING SOUTH TOWARDS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS SITUATION WILL NEED
TO BE MONITORED SINCE IT WILL BE CLOSE TO RED FLAG CONDITIONS AT
SOME LOCATIONS SOUTH OF I-70.
