AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
305 AM MDT SAT APR 2 2011

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST CONCERNS THE NEXT 3 DAYS ARE TEMPERATURES...FRONTAL
TIMING SUNDAY...STRENGTH OF WINDS...THUNDERSTORMS...RAIN/SNOW AND
FIRE WEATHER.

FLAT UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA TODAY AHEAD OF A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH AND COLD FRONT THAT MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
SUNDAY NIGHT. RISING HEIGHTS RETURN MONDAY WITH ZONAL FLOW
RETURNING TUESDAY.

VERY WARM 850 THERMAL RIDGE TODAY SUPPORTS HIGHS IN THE
80S. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL
DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON. ON SUNDAY COLD FRONT NOW EXPECTED TO
MOVE A LITTLE FASTER WITH WINDY WEST/SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF IT
AND STRONG NORTH WINDS BEHIND IT. NOT A LOT OF AGREEMENT IN THE
TIMING SO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS LIKELY IN BOTH WIND AND TEMP FIELDS.
HAVE HIGHS NEAR 70 ACROSS THE NORTH TO LOW 80S ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTH. ON MONDAY MODELS NOW INDICATING MOST OF THE MOISTURE BEHIND
THE FRONT TO MOVE OUT QUICKER LEAVING A PARTLY SUNNY SKY AND
WARMER TEMPERATURES THEN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. WILL SHOOT FOR HIGHS
GENERALLY 50-55 WITH BREEZY TO WINDY NORTHWEST WINDS.

THERE REMAINS SOME WEAK INSTABILITY AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES ALONG THE FRONT WITH THE UPPER JET OVERHEAD AND STRONG
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT...ENOUGH TO KEEP THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FORECAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FOR SUNDAY NIGHT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH
RATHER QUICKLY AND BY MID TO LATE MORNING MONDAY BE OUT OF THE
AREA. RAIN WILL GRADUALLY CHANGEOVER TO SNOW THROUGH THE NIGHT AS
THE COLDER AIR MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE CHANGEOVER TIMING
MAY BE QUICKER THEN CURRENTLY DEPICTED AND WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED
AS WELL. ACCUMULATIONS LOOK TO BE UNDER AN INCH.

.AVIATION...
1109 PM MDT FRI APR 1 2011

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EFFECTIVE
PERIOD. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BECOME PREDOMINATELY
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND BECOME BREEZY BY MID/LATE
MORNING AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE AREA AND LEE SIDE
TROUGHING FORMS OVER EASTERN COLORADO.

50/024

.FIRE WEATHER...
230 AM MDT SAT APR 2 2011

WILL BE UPGRADING FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR ALL
BUT RED WILLOW...DECATUR...SHERIDAN AND GOVE COUNTIES. SOME
QUESTION JUST HOW FAR THE CRITICAL RH LEVELS GET AND WILL LET
DAYSHIFT RE-EVALUATE.

FOR SUNDAY WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD OFF ON ANY HIGHLITES. STRONG COLD
FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE IN A LITTLE FASTER. SOME CONFIDENCE THAT
AREAS SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE WILL REACH CRITERIA BUT FOR NOW WONT
MUDDY THE ISSUE GIVEN THE CURRENT RED FLAG WARNING THAT WILL BE IN
EFFECT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ANY FIRES THAT DO GET GOING SUNDAY
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN WIND SHIFT FROM THE
NORTH WHEN THE FRONT DOES COME THROUGH MAKING IT RATHER DIFFICULT
TO HANDLE AS THE MAIN PUSH WILL GO FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST TO THE
NORTH ABRUPTLY.
