AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
539 PM MDT TUE APR 24 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT TUE APR 24 2012

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING FOR MOST OF THE AREA AS
THERE IS SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY PRESENT AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  WAS NOT TOO KEEN ON THIS IDEA HOWEVER THE
SPARCE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH...THOUGHT SLIGHT CHANCES DURING THE EVENING FOR THE ACTIVITY
IN NORTHERN COLORADO WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WERE WARRANTED.  ANY
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD END BY THE LATE EVENING AS THE
ELEVATED INSTABILITY MOVES FURTHER EAST.

WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER WARM DAY...WITH RECORD TO NEAR RECORD
TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH
DURING THE EVENING.  DECIDED TO TAKE OUT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
IN THE FAR NORTHWEST DUE TO THE LACK OF SATURATION IN THE POINT
SOUNDINGS DURING THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 232 PM MDT TUE APR 24 2012

A RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE RIDGE WILL
SHIFT EAST WHILE A TROUGH MOVES OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT. FLOW WILL BECOME WESTERLY ON FRIDAY BEHIND
THE TROUGH. A SURFACE TROUGH MOVES EAST INTO THE MISSOURI VALLEY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
ANOTHER TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO EASTERN COLORADO THURSDAY/THURSDAY
NIGHT AND THEN MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS/OKLAHOMA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON/NIGHT.

A SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT MOISTURE IS
LIMITED SO WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS YUMA COUNTY AND THE
EXTREME NORTHWEST FA FOR THE EVENING PERIOD. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
COLD FRONT THURSDAY MORNING WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO
THE EAST FA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE COLUMN SATURATING DOWN
CLOSER TO THE SURFACE THROUGH THE MORNING. INSTABILITY INCREASES
THROUGH THE MORNING AS WELL. EARLY MORNING SHOWERS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED THUNDER WITH MORE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AS
THE MORNING PROGRESSES. BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT A STRONG SHORTWAVE
WITH GOOD FORCING WILL IMPACT THE FA. STORMS SHOULD FIRE ALONG THE
FRONT IN EASTERN COLORADO. PLAN TO KEEP HIGH CHANCE/LIKELY POPS FOR
THE FA WITH CAPE VALUES RANGING FROM 1000-1500 J/KG. CHANCE POPS
WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE UPPER LOW STILL LINGERING OVER
THE AREA. THE NAM TAKES THE LOW OUT FASTER THAN THE GFS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. DUE TO TIMING DIFFERENCES WILL HOLD ONTO CHANCE POPS.

MIN TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 50S WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY
NIGHTS FALLING TO THE UPPER 40S FRIDAY NIGHT. MAX TEMPERATURES WILL
REACH THE MID 70S THURSDAY AND THE UPPER 60S FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...A BROAD TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. NUMEROUS SHORTWAVES
EJECTING OUT OF THE TROUGH AND INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL BRING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE REGION. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN ON
TUESDAY AS THE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. MAX
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL START IN THE 50S
SATURDAY/SUNDAY AND WARM TO 70 BY TUESDAY. MIN TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN SLOWLY MODERATE TO
THE MID/UPPER 40S MONDAY/TUESDAY NIGHTS.
