NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
230 AM MDT MON JUN 6 2011

.DISCUSSION...
230 AM MDT MON JUN 6 2011

TODAY-TONIGHT...DEEP UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING ASHORE IN WEST
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA EXPECTED TO REACH SOUTHERN MONTANA BY 12Z
TUESDAY. MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF UPPER JET WILL MOVE
OFF THE FRONT RANGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT. MAY SEE A FEW HIGH BASED STORMS MOVE OFF PALMER AND
RATON RIDGES AND ADVANCE TOWARD THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT PER 0-6
WIND FLOW BUT WITH 700MB TEMPS WELL INTO THE MID TEENS CELSIUS
CONFIDENCE NOT REAL HIGH ANYTHING WILL SURVIVE. PERHAPS PROXIMITY
TO APPROACHING UPPER JET WILL HELP THEM MOVE INTO THE AREA. BIGGER
STORY WILL BE THE HOT AND RECORD SETTING TEMPERATURES. 850
TEMPERATURES WARM ABOUT 2-5F FROM SUNDAYS READINGS SUPPORTING
HIGHS OF 95-100 WITH AROUND 103-104 IN THE HILL CITY AND GOVE
KANSAS AREAS. RECORDS FOR TODAY INCLUDE GOODLAND (100)...HILL CITY
(106)...MCCOOK (99)...BURLINGTON (98)...YUMA (97)...TRIBUNE
(100)...AND COLBY (100). BREEZY SOUTH WINDS SHOULD ALSO DEVELOP BY
MIDDAY.

TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT...AS ABOVE MENTIONED UPPER LOW MOVES INTO
CANADA THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE CAUGHT IN BETWEEN A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHWEST AND LARGE UPPER HIGH IN THE GULF OF
MEXICO. LOTS OF SUN AND LITTLE CHANCE OF PRECIP. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL RANGE FROM NEAR 90 ACROSS THE NORTHWEST TO THE 103-107 RANGE
FROM TRIBUNE TO HILL CITY. THE COOLER TEMPS ACROSS THE NORTH ARE
IN RESPONSE TO SOME LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR.
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE NIGHT BUT WITH LITTLE IF ANY
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH LOOKS LIKE A DRY FORECAST TO
CONTINUE. POSSIBLE RECORDS IN JEOPARDY INCLUDE TRIBUNE (102) AND
HILL CITY (103).

WEDNESDAY-WEDNESDAY NIGHT...PACIFIC NORTHWEST UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY
MOVES SOUTH WHILE SFC FRONT PUSHES ACROSS JUST ABOUT MOST OF THE
AREA DURING THE DAY. THERE ARE DISCREPANCIES AS TO JUST HOW MUCH
COOLER IT WILL BE WITH THE GFS/ECMWF THE COOLEST AT 850MB WHILE
THE NAM/UKMET THE WARMEST. AVERAGING ALL THE GUIDANCE YIELDS
AFTERNOON TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S WITH UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S
ACROSS THE FAR EAST AND SOUTH. A LACK OF APPRECIABLE MOISTURE AND
RATHER CAPPED ENVIRONMENT WILL AGAIN PROVIDE FOR ANOTHER DRY
AFTERNOON. POST FRONTAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES QUICKLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT FAVORING PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS GENERALLY NORTH OF
THE INTERSTATE.

THURSDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT...UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO ROTATE TOWARD THE
AREA WHILE SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA. GOOD
AGREEMENT BETWEEN 00Z GFS/ECMWF IN COOLING TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
AREA WITH UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S ACROSS ALL BUT THE HILL CITY AND
TRIBUNE AREAS WHERE 75-80 WILL BE ADVERTISED.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY...NO CHANGES MADE.
