AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
232 AM MDT SUN JUN 24 2012

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 227 AM MDT SUN JUN 24 2012

A RIDGE WILL PERSIST OVER THE PLAINS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A
SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE OVER EASTERN COLORADO TODAY. THIS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL SHIFT NORTH WITH TIME INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS OF
WYOMING/MONTANA. BY TUESDAY NIGHT THE TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST INTO
THE DAKOTAS.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST WILL BE HEAT. VERY WARM MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES AT 18 TO 20 C ALONG WITH INSUFFICIENT RH WILL INHIBIT
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EACH DAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.  A
SHORTWAVE IS ADVERTIZED TO MOVE UP THE RIDGE MONDAY BUT WILL HAVE
LITTLE TO WORK WITH SO POPS WILL BE NIL FOR MONDAY AS WELL AS ALL
OTHER PERIODS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

MAX TEMPERATURES AT 100 DEGREES OR HIGHER WILL BE COMMON OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS CREATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA MET AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.

ALTHOUGH A FEW ZONES IN THE FAR EASTERN FA MAY REACH HEAT WARNING
CRITERIA, THERE IS A LARGER AREA OF ZONES THAT WILL REACH HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE HIGHLIGHT SIMPLE, PLAN TO
ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR APPARENT TEMPERATURES OF 100 DEGREES OR
HIGHER FOR TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

MAX TEMPERATURES WILL EXCEED 100 DEGREES TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY. MIN
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 65 TO 70 WITH MAINLY 70S FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 227 AM MDT SUN JUN 24 2012

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE SOUTHWESTERLY AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WITH THE RIDGE AXIS JUST EAST OF THE
AREA. THE UPPER FLOW WILL TRANSITION TO WESTERLY BY FRIDAY AS THE
RIDGE MOVES EASTWARD AND A TROUGH WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION
MOVES NORTHEASTWARD. NUMEROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE UPPER FLOW DURING THE PERIOD...LEADING TO CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH
A POSSIBILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS. FEEL MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT POTENTIAL
FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING...WITH LITTLE CIN BY
LATE AFTERNOON AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION. WHILE THE
GFS APPEARS TO MOVE A COLD FRONT EASTWARD INTO THE REGION THROUGH
THE DAYTIME ON FRIDAY...THE EC IS NOT SHOWING THIS AS CLEARLY...SO
THERE IS STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING FORCING FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
WHILE POTENTIAL SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE AFTERNOON ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...CANNOT RULE OUT LATE MORNING STORMS ON FRIDAY IF A FRONT
MOVES IN. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE HOT DURING THE
PERIOD...THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SLIGHTLY AS THE RIDGE MOVES
EASTWARD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1150 PM MDT SAT JUN 23 2012

ALREADY SEEING MVFR VISIBILITIES DEVELOP TO THE NORTH OF
STATIONARY FRONTAL ZONE WITH MCK REPORTING BR ALREADY. THINK THIS
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR
VISIBILITIES TO FALL TO AROUND A MILE. THIS FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTH
SOMEWHAT AND WITH MUCH DRIER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT DO NOT HAVE A LOT
OF CONFIDENCE THAT FOG WILL BE LONG LASTING. AS A RESULT OF THE
UNCERTAINTY WILL ONLY BRING MCK DOWN TO LOW MVFR/OPERATIONALLY
SIGNIFICANT VALUES FOR THE TIME BEING...WITH VISIBILITIES EXPECTED
TO IMPROVE RAPIDLY AFTER 12Z. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 227 AM MDT SUN JUN 24 2012

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARISE WITH THE 100 DEGREE HEAT AS WELL WITH
FUELS IN THE CRITICAL STAGE AND RH VALES DROPPING TO THE SINGLE
DIGITS. SURFACE WINDS WILL GUST TO AT LEAST 25 MPH THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS ALL BUT THE NORTHEAST ZONES. A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED FOR TODAY. SURFACE WINDS MEET CRITICAL LEVELS MONDAY WITH ALL
OTHER PARAMETERS REMAINING CRITICAL. PLAN ON A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR MONDAY.
