AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
200 PM MDT FRI AUG 19 2011

.SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT - MONDAY)
200 PM MDT FRI AUG 19 2011

SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED IN MONSOONAL MOISTURE PLUME WILL MOVE OUT
OF COLORADO TONIGHT AND INTERACT WITH A SURFACE FRONT WHICH
CURRENTLY BISECTS THE FORECAST AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. WHILE DEEP
LAYER SHEAR WILL ONLY BE MARGINAL FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION...
MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE NORTH OF THE FRONT AND
COMBINED WITH EXPECTED STORM MOTIONS OF LESS THAN 10 KTS...HAIL AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. CONVECTION
WILL LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A POSSIBLE MCS DEVELOPS AND
MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST. IF PRECIPITATION CAN END BEFORE 12Z FOG MAY
DEVELOP TOWARDS SUNRISE WITH MOIST UPSLOPE CONDITIONS.

AFTER ANY LINGERING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MOVE AWAY IN THE
MORNING...THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO BE IN NEARLY THE SAME PLACE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ESSENTIALLY ALONG THE INTERSTATE. UPPER FORCING
WILL BE RATHER NEBULOUS...BUT APPEARS TO BE A WEAK SHORTWAVE COMING
THROUGH IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. MODELS BREAKING OUT ONLY LIMITED
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONT AND NEAR THE PALMER IN EASTERN
COLORADO. IF ANYTHING DOES DEVELOP IT WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING BY EARLY EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR
NORMAL.

RISING HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
TRANSLATES FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO DESERT SOUTHWEST. SURFACE
FRONT WILL FINALLY LIFT OUT WITH BREEZY SOUTH WINDS ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. WEAK SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE RIDGE WILL INITIATE CONVECTION
NEAR THE FRONT RANGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON...SOME OF THOSE MAY REACH THE
NORTHERN FORECAST AREA AS THEY TREK ENE THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.

SURFACE TROUGH IN EASTERN COLORADO ON MONDAY WILL MOVE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON. DOWNSLOPING WINDS WILL DOMINATE THE
COLUMN RESULTING IN LIMITED MOISTURE AND LOW TO NIL PRECIPITATION
CHANCES. TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE MID 90S FOR HIGHS.

.LONG TERM... (TUESDAY - FRIDAY)
200 PM MDT FRI AUG 19 2011

RIDGE CENTERED NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS WILL BE THE MAIN UPPER FEATURE
DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS WILL BE UNDER
WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL.
THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS IN THE MODEL FIELDS AT THIS
TIME...AS THE STRONGER FLOW WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE SLIM...PERHAPS A FEW STORMS FORMING
NEAR THE PALMER DIVIDE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND DRIFTING INTO THE
AREA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

024

.AVIATION...
1144 AM MDT FRI AUG 19 2011

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE STREAMING OVERHEAD AND A
SHORTWAVE WILL WORK WITH A SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHWEST KS TO
INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE INTO KGLD AROUND 00Z AND KMCK AROUND 02Z.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH MOST OF THE EVENING AND INTO THE
EARLY MORNING. AS THE SHORTWAVE EXITS...SOUNDINGS INDICATE SOME
STRATUS AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS DOWN TO IFR FROM AROUND 10Z TO
15Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AT BOTH SITES AFTER 15Z.
