AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
500 PM MDT WED JUL 6 2011

.DISCUSSION...
321 PM MDT WED JUL 6 2011

EARLY AFTERNOON ANALYSIS OF IR IMAGERY/UPPER AIR DATA INDICATED A
BROAD MID/UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WITH AN EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRANSLATING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE RIDGE OVER
COLORADO AND WYOMING. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY INITIATED ACROSS THE
FRONT RANGE AND FAVORED HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON. EASTERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY NEAR SURFACE FLOW CONTINUES TO
ADVECT MOISTURE INTO THE HIGH PLAINS.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS WILL REVOLVE AROUND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING FOLLOWED BY ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
POTENTIAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS TRI-STATE REGION SITS ON THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID/UPPER RIDGE.

CONVECTION ON GOING OVER THE FRONT RANGE SHOULD TRANSLATE EASTWARD
REACHING THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. VICINITY BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE CONVECTION SHOULD BE
PRIMARILY ELEVATED WITH 1500-2000 J/K MLCAPE AND 30-35 KTS 0-6KM
SHEAR YIELDING THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS AS THE PRIMARY
THREAT. WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 12K FT...LARGE
HAIL THREAT WOULD BE A MORE ISOLATED THREAT BUT CAN'T BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT. CONVECTION SHOULD CONGEAL INTO A LOOSELY
ORGANIZED MCS AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. STORM MOTIONS
SHOULD BE EAST-SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 15KTS WHICH COULD YIELD AREAS
OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. HIGHEST PRECIP SHOULD FALL IN AREAS
WHERE LITTLE PRECIP HAS BEEN RECEIVED OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS SO
NOT PLANNING A FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS EVENING.

REMNANT CONVECTION COULD BE ONGOING OVER EASTERN PORTIONS FORECAST
AREA THURSDAY MORNING SO WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
THERE. FORECAST AREA WILL BE UNDER SUBSIDENCE THROUGH MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON THURSDAY BEFORE THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN COUNTIES THURSDAY EVENING BRINGING A RENEWED POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION.

RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. LEFT SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS OVER THE WEST DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS THERE IS A
SLIM POSSIBILITY FOR CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE FRONT RANGE TO
SNEAK INTO THE WESTERN ZONES BEFORE DISSIPATING. RISING
HEIGHTS/INCREASING H85/H7 TEMPS WOULD SUPPORT A RETURN TO THE MID
TO UPPER 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM SATURDAY INTO
THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SKIRT THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS
OVER THE NORTHWEST THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA WHICH WILL BE IN
CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH
CONTINUED SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIP OVER PRIMARILY THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.
