AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1153 AM MDT TUE JUN 14 2011

.UPDATE...
1145 AM MDT TUE JUN 14 2011

JUST COMPLETED ANOTHER UPDATE. SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED AND MOVED INTO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA. COVERAGE
IS MORE THAN ISOLATED SO INCREASED TO CHANCE IN THE SOUTHWEST
PORTION OF THE AREA AHEAD OF INCOMING SHORTWAVE TROUGH...JET
MAX...AND AREA OF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.

.DISCUSSION...
342 AM MDT TUE JUN 14 2011

IMMEDIATE FORECAST CHALLENGES WILL BE HOW LONG THE ONGOING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
MORNING AND IF THEY WILL REDEVELOP OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. FORECAST CONCERNS MID WEEK ARE HOW MUCH TEMPERATURES
WARM UNDER A RIDGE ALOFT FOLLOWED BY THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE
THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND.

THIS MORNING WILL START OFF WITH A FEW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH PATCHY AREAS OF FOG AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH EXPECTED TO
MOVE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS REGION AROUND MID DAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE EAST AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST. A
STRONG AREA OF SUBSIDENCE MOVES IN ACROSS THE AREA ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH...SO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.

THE SHORT WAVE RIDGE BEGINS BUILDING OVER THE ROCKIES AND HIGH
PLAINS TONIGHT...BUT IS NOT AS AMPLIFIED AS PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS
INDICATED FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS MEANS
TEMPERATURES MAY NOT WARM AS MUCH AS PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH...ALTHOUGH
HIGHS IN THE 80S AND 90S ARE STILL EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE LESS AMPLIFIED UPPER FLOW WILL ALSO MEAN
THE REGION WILL BE MORE OPEN TO THE SHORT WAVE TROUGHS THAT WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW AS IT FLATTENS DURING THE
LATTER PART OF THE WEEK AND BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY BY THE
WEEKEND. HAVE KEPT A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST EACH
EVENING FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS A RESULT. IT LOOKS LIKE
AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE WARRANTED BETWEEN
SUNDAY AND TUESDAY AS NEXT MAJOR UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES AND MOVES
ACROSS THE REGION AS A LOW DEEPENS OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF
UNITED STATES DURING THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK. HAVE LEFT IT OUT FOR
NOW AS CONFIDENCE IS LOW AS THAT SYSTEM IS STILL WELL OUTSIDE OF
THE CONUS UPPER AIR NETWORK.

.AVIATION...
1145 AM MDT TUE JUN 14 2011

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED OUT
TO THE WEST OF KGLD. EXPECT SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENT BUT LOOKS LIKE
THE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST MAY GET CLOSE TO KGLD SO PUT VCTS IN
THERE FOR NOW. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY UNTIL NEAR 00Z AND THEN
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. OUTSIDE OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
