AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
240 PM MDT SAT JUN 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
240 PM MDT SAT JUN 11 2011

FORECAST PROBLEM WILL BE WHAT LOOKS TO BE AN ACTIVE AND WET PATTERN
THROUGH MOST IF NOT ALL THE UPCOMING PERIOD. SATELLITE SHOWING AN
ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE WAVE TRAIN FROM THE CENTRAL PACIFIC INTO THE
ATLANTIC. MODELS INITIALIZED FINE AT MID AND UPPER LEVELS. THE FRONT
TENDED TO BE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE MODELS SHOWED. THE NAM WAS
CLOSEST TO THIS. MODELS TENDED TO BE A LITTLE TOO COOL OVER THE
AREA.

TONIGHT...COULD MAKE A CASE FOR A COUPLED JET STRUCTURE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. AT THE VERY LEAST WILL HAVE A LEFT
FRONT QUADRANT AROUND. SHORTWAVE TROUGH SEEN ON SATELLITE MOVING
TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. AT THIS TIME MAIN FRONT LOOKS TO
BE WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. SURFACE ANALYSIS A SUBTLE BOUNDARY/SURFACE
CONVERGENCE NEAR THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA. DECENT CU FIELD HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE KANSAS AND COLORADO
BORDER JUST TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF US NEAR THAT CONVERGENCE.

MODELS ARE SHOWING TWO DIFFERENT QPF TRENDS. FIRST IS TO THE MAIN
MCS/PRECIP BULLSEYE FURTHER SOUTH. THEY ARE ALSO DEVELOPING A
SECONDARY BULLSEYE OVER THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE AREA. THE RUC
ARE SHOWING TWO DISTINCT PIECES OF THE SHORTWAVE. THE NAM IS
MIRRORING THE RUCS PV FIELD WITH THE RUC ALSO DOING THE SAME THING
WITH THE QPF FIELD. CONSIDERING THE CURRENT TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT
WILL TREND TOWARD THOSE TWO DIFFERENT AREAS.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...MESOSCALE AFFECTS OF OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON SUNDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE
STRONGEST MCS WILL BE TO OUR SOUTH WITH PROBABLY ENHANCE SOUTHEAST
TO EAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE. THIS WOULD KEEP THE AREA COOLER AND
MORE STABLE. WILL TREND THAT WAY IN THE TEMPERATURES. AT THIS TIME IT
LOOKS LIKE LINGERING PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA. SOME
INDICATIONS OF FOG DUE TO THE UPSLOPE AND INSERTED IN THE WEST
SECTION AT THIS TIME.

NOT CONSIDERING WHAT THE MESOSCALE DOES TO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...LEFT FRONT QUADRANT STARTS AFFECTING THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH...IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHT...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHWEST HALF. ALSO A DECENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH
BEGINS TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND MOSTLY
DURING THE NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE THAT A WARM FRONT COMES NORTH AND
THEN THE COLD FRONT BEHIND IT LATER IN THE NIGHT. WILL THEREFORE
EXPAND THE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA DURING THE NIGHT.

MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT...IN SOME RESPECTS THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL LIFT
DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE BETTER THAN TODAY. STRONG LEFT FRONT
QUADRANT AFFECTING THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHERN HALF. WILL KEEP THE CURRENT SLIGHT CHANCE IN
THE FAR WEST IN THE AFTERNOON. THEN INCREASED POPS INTO THE LOW
CHANCE CATEGORY FOR THE NIGHT. CONSIDERING UPSLOPE WINDS BEHIND THE
BOUNDARY WITH POSSIBLE REINFORCEMENT FROM OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS
COULD KEEP A LOT OF A CLOUD COVER AND COLDER AIR OVER THE AREA.
WILL TREND TOWARD THE COLDER TEMPERATURES.

TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND LINGERING PRECIPITATION
DUE TO OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHEAST HALF OF
THE AREA AND KEPT IN MORNING POPS THERE. LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF A
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST UPPER JET WILL AFFECT THE AREA FROM THE
AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES
ACROSS THE AREAS DURING THE SAME TIME. WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE
INCREASED POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY BUT THAT WOULD MAKE ME OUT
OF COLLABORATION WITH MY NEIGHBORS. PLUS MESOSCALE AFFECTS COULD
SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT. INCREASED POPS TO HIGH SLIGHT
CHANCE AT THIS TIME. SAME SCENARIO FOR THE WINDS AND TEMPERATURES
AGAIN WITH UPSLOPE WINDS POSSIBLY ENHANCED BY CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW.
WILL GO TOWARDS THE COOLER GUIDANCE ONCE AGAIN.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...PROBLEMATIC FORECAST DURING THIS PERIOD.
IT DOES NOT MAKE IT ANY EASIER WITH MODEL DIFFERENCES IN HOW TO
HANDLE TO THE NEW UPPER TROUGH IN THE WEST. DETERMINISTIC PLUS
ENSEMBLE SUPPORT THE FURTHER WEST AND DEEPER GFS SOLUTION. THE ECMWF
IS FURTHER EAST AND MORE ROBUST IN PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES FURTHER
EAST. DESPITE THIS MODEL DATA SHOWING NUMEROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS...
UPPER JET SUPPORT...AND ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM SCENARIOS THROUGH THE
WHOLE FORECAST PERIOD. AND THIS IS NOT EVEN ACCOUNTING FOR ANY
MESOSCALE INFLUENCES IN THIS SETUP.

IT IS REALLY HARD TO PIN DOWN WHEN WE WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS. SO TENDED TO BROADBRUSH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH
THE PERIOD. CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF UPSLOPE FLOW THROUGH A LOT
OF THE PERIOD AND PRESENCE OF CLOUD COVER IN THIS SETUP...TENDED TO
GO BELOW THE GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES.

THANKS TO ALL WHO COLLABORATED.

IMPACT EITHER TERMINAL. WITH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND

CIGS FOR THE EARLY MORNING PERIOD AT BOTH TAF SITES...WITH
