AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
529 PM MDT WED SEP 26 2012

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM MDT WED SEP 26 2012

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH NORTH OF THE FOUR CORNERS AREA WILL REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE NIGHT.  MEANWHILE THE AXIS OF
CONVERGENCE WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS NORTHEAST OUT OF THE AREA.  AS THE
SUN SETS...AM ANTICIPATING ANY LINGERING STORMS ALONG THIS BAND TO
DISSIPATE.  DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE
TROUGH WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW MOVES OVER THE SOUTHWEST PART OVER
THE AREA.  THE 700-500MB LAPSE RATES AHEAD OF THE TROUGH STEEPEN
WITH 150-300J/KG OF MU CAPE DEVELOPING IN THE LAYER.  0-6KM SHEAR
INCREASES FROM 20 TO 30KTS NEAR SUNRISE...HOWEVER AM NOT
ANTICIPATING ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALTHOUGH A FEW MAY BECOME
STRONG WEST OF THE COLORADO BORDER PRODUCING SMALL HAIL OR GUSTY
WINDS. IN ADDITION ISENTROPIC LIFT DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST OF THE
COLORADO BORDER AHEAD OF THE TROUGH FURTHER AIDING IN LIFT.  HAVE
PRECIP. CHANCES MOVING INTO THE AREA FOLLOWING THE TROUGH...WITH
CHANCES INCREASING AFTER MIDNIGHT TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST.

OVERNIGHT FOG MAY DEVELOP OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA DUE TO DEW
POINTS REMAINING IN THE 50S.  CURRENTLY AM ANTICIPATING VISIBILITIES
TO DROP TO A MILE IN THE DENSEST FOG.  THE FOG SHOULD BURN OFF A
COUPLE HOURS AFTER SUNRISE.

THURSDAY THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH NORTH OF THE FOUR CORNERS AREA
BEGINS TO PROGRESS EASTWARD.  AS IT APPROACHES THE TRI-STATE AREA
SMALLER DISTURBANCES DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE MAIN TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN PART OF THE AREA...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OCCURRING MID DAY.
POINT SOUNDINGS FROM ACROSS THE AREA INDICATE 500J/KG OF SURFACE
BASED CAPE TO WORK WITH...SO THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION.  PRECIP. CHANCES WILL DECREASE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AS LIFT FROM THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OUT OF THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM MDT WED SEP 26 2012

THURSDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...STILL SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF
THE WAVE THAT MOVES INTO THE AREA THURSDAY. THIS WAVE SHOULD MOVE
EAST THURSDAY NIGHT GIVEN THE NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW WITH THE
GFS/ECMWF THE FASTEST...THE NAM/GEM THE SLOWEST. EITHER
WAY...FRIDAY THROUGH MOST OF SATURDAY WILL BE DRY. MAY SEE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS VERY LATE IN THE DAY SATURDAY NEAR THE FLAGLER AREA
AS A DISTURBANCE MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS DISTURBANCE
LOOKS TO CONTINUE MOVING GENERALLY ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WHERE SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LOOK
WARRANTED. HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY 65 TO 70 IN EASTERN COLORADO
WHERE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION MOST LIKELY...70-75 FURTHER EAST.
WITH LESS CLOUDINESS EXPECTED SATURDAY AND 850 TEMPERATURES
WARMING ABOUT 3-5F HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S EXPECTED. ON
SUNDAY A BIT WARMER WITH MID 70S TO AROUND 80. OVERNIGHT LOWS A
BIT ABOVE NORMAL.

SUNDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A LARGE RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES TOWARD THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD.
PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED AND FOR THAT MATTER MUCH IN THE WAY
OF CLOUDINESS. A SLOW WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE WITH MID 70S TO
LOW 80S MONDAY...LOW TO MID 80S BY WEDNESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 524 PM MDT WED SEP 26 2012

AT KGLD...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AND APPROACH THE KGLD
TERMINAL IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY LOWER AND
WILL APPROACH MVFR BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z WITH LOWER CEILINGS
PROBABLY HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 12Z. FOG IS ANOTHER
UNCERTAINTY...WITH UPSLOPE WINDS AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
VISIBILITY COULD DROP INTO THE 3-5SM RANGE OVERNIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY MORNING.

AT KMCK...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH LOWER CEILINGS REMAINING TO
THE SOUTHWEST OF THE TERMINAL. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF FOG
FORMING OVERNIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND DECIDED NOT TO
MENTION FOR NOW IN THE TAFS.
