AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
241 PM MDT SAT APR 14 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 239 PM MDT SAT APR 14 2012

14Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED STRONG TROUGH IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS...WITH WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SUGGESTING SMALLER SHORT
WAVE TROUGH LIFTING OUT OF THE PANHANDLE OF OKLAHOMA...WHICH IS
SUPPORTED BY TOWERING CU DEVELOPING OVER SW KANSAS. 12Z KDDC
SOUNDING INDICATES DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE CAPPED BY SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION. AT THE SFC..LOW CIRCULATION WAS LOCATED NEAR KSNY
STRETCHING TO THE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING...FOLLOWED BY PRECIP TYPE THREAT ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO OVERNIGHT.

REST OF THE AFTERNOON...20Z OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATED MAIN
INSTABILITY AXIS EAST OF A MCCOOK TO GOVE LINE WITH 1500-2000 J/KG
CAPE PRESENT IN A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT WITH 0-3KM HELICITIES
GREATER THAN 200M2/S2 AND AS HIGH AS 400 M2/S2. EXPECT SHEAR TO BE
MAXIMIZED AROUND THE NORTON AREA WHERE WINDS REMAIN SLIGHTLY BACKED
AND TDS REMAIN HIGH...FURTHER WEST LCL'S BEGINNING TO RISE AS T-TD
SPREADS INCREASE AND WITH WINDS BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY EXPECT
LOCALLY LOWER SHEAR VALUES AS ONE MOVES WEST AS WELL. FURTHER
WEST...STARTING TO SEE CU FIELD DEVELOP ALONG WESTERN EDGE OF
FRONTAL ZONE. WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS STRONG IN THIS AREA...MUCH
HIGHER LCL'S WILL LIKELY LIMIT THE TORNADO THREAT IN THIS
AREA...WITH MAIN FOCUS REMAINING ACROSS NORTHEASTERN AND EASTERN CWA.

TONIGHT-TOMORROW...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING
DURING THE EARLY IN THE EVENING AS DRYLINE STARTING TO BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED AND BY THE EARLY EVENING SHOULD HAVE SURGED TO THE
EAST...SHIFTING PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ACROSS THE
NORTHEASTERN CWA...PRIMARILY AROUND NORTON AND MCCOOK WHICH SHOULD
REMAIN FAIRLY CLOSE TO WARM FRONTAL POSITION WITH SLIGHTLY BACKED
WINDS MAXIMIZING SHEAR IN THIS LOCAL AREA MAINTAINING A
SUPERCELL/TORNADO THREAT. AS UPPER LOW/PV ANOMALY SHIFTS TO THE NORTH
EXPECT DRY LINE AND DRY SLOT SWEEP OVER EASTERN CWA BRINGING AN END
TO STORM THREAT AFTER 03Z. FURTHER WEST...ALTHOUGH NOT SEEING MUCH
CROSS FRONTAL ZONE FLOW ACROSS MAKES ME A LITTLE SUSPECT OF HOW
ORGANIZED ANY PRECIP SHIELD WILL BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM.
HOWEVER...HARD TO IGNORE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF MODELS AND WITH
POCKET OF INSTABILITY REMAINING IN PLACE BEHIND UPPER LOW...EVEN A
LESS ORGANIZED TROWAL CIRCULATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE
PRECIPITATION BUT STRONG DRY SLOT WILL HOLD THINGS TO JUST THE
WESTERN ZONES OVERNIGHT. MUCH COOLER AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA AND
MAY SEE A BRIEF CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS WESTERN YUMA AND KIT
CARSON COUNTIES. WITH BRIEF TIME OF CHANGE OVER...WARM GROUND AND
SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS...DO NOT ANTICIPATE ACCUMULATING SNOW.

ON SUNDAY...MODELS VARY WITH RESPECT TO STRENGTH OF CYCLOGENESIS BUT
ALL GENERALLY AGREE SFC LOW WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS
TO THE NORTH. THIS WILL RESULT IN TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
AREA AND WITH VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT
CONDITIONS APPROACHING HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA...ESPECIALLY WITH
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS DURING THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
HOURS AS LOW LEVEL STABILITY REMAINS FAIRLY LOW. SOME KIND OF
HIGHLIGHT WILL BE NEEDED...ALTHOUGH HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT CLOUDS
AND PRECIPITATION MAY INHIBIT DEEP MIXING LIMITING WARNING
POTENTIAL. WITH 18Z DATA STARTING COME IN A BIT FARTHER SOUTH WITH
SFC LOW IN AFTERNOON AND GIVEN AVAILABLE DATA...THINK POTENTIAL FOR
WARNING CRITERIA WINDS A BIT TOO HIGH TO JUSTIFY JUST A WIND
ADVISORY AND THINK WATCH MORE APPROPRIATE.  EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO
DECREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES. COULD SEE
ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP GRAZE WESTERN CWA OVERNIGHT AS PV ANOMALY
APPROACHED FROM THE NORTH...BUT GIVEN SOME VARIANCE IN TIMING DO NOT
THINK REALLY LARGE POPS ARE WARRANTED. ALTHOUGH INCREASING CLOUDS
WITH THIS SYSTEM MAY HOLD UP TEMPS...GIVEN MUCH COLDER TEMPS ALOFT
HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE FROST...MAYBE EVEN A FREEZE IN
SOME AREAS IF CLOUDS DO NOT DEVELOP FAST ENOUGH WITH APPROACHING
SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM MDT SAT APR 14 2012

MONDAY-SATURDAY...FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK BRINGING A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
TO THE AREA BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TO THE
AREA ON MONDAY...AND THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. GIVEN THE FAIRLY QUICK MOTION OF THESE
SYSTEMS...CONFIDENCE IN TIMING NOT REALLY HIGH AND THINK CHANCE TO
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GIVEN BY CONSENSUS PRODUCTS FALL WELL IN LINE
WITH GEFS DATA. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MONDAY WHEN CLOUDS AND LIGHT
PRECIP WILL HOLD BACK TEMPS...EXPECT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1123 AM MDT SAT APR 14 2012

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM YUMA TO
COLBY TO GOVE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A DRY LINE. GIVEN THE EXPECTED
PLACEMENT OF THE DRY LINE THIS AFTERNOON...HAVE KEPT MENTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE KGLD TAF...AND INCLUDED VCTS BY 20Z AT KMCK.
GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM
SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY THIS EVENING...THEN TO THE NORTHWEST
DURING THE EARLY MORNING ON SUNDAY. RAIN SHOWERS AND MVFR CEILINGS
ARE ALSO EXPECTED AS THE LOW MOVES EASTWARD DURING THE MORNING
HOURS...WITH SHOWERS STARTING NEAR 10Z/11Z.
