AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
510 PM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012

THROUGH TONIGHT...FOCUS IN THE NEAR-TERM WILL BE ON CONVECTION THIS
EVENING AND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS. HIGH RESOLUTION
SHORT-RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DISPLAY STRONG RUN-TO-RUN
CONTINUITY WITH REGARD TO POTENTIAL FOR 60+KT CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS
ACROSS SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. DEEPLY
MIXED ENVIRONMENT WITH INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS WOULD SUPPORT THIS
NOTION AS WELL WITH 19Z MESOANALYSIS FROM SPC DEPICTING 1200-1400
J/KG DCAPE OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. DEEP LAYER
SHEAR IS NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE WITH 25-30KTS OBSERVED. PWAT VALUES
FROM THE 12Z SOUNDINGS AT DDC AND DNR WERE RUNNING AROUND 130
PERCENT OF NORMAL. WHEN COMBINED WITH SLOW STORM MOTIONS OF 10-15
KTS...COULD SEE ISOLATED THREAT FOR HYDRO ISSUES THIS EVENING.
PRIMARY FACTOR TO CONSIDER WILL BE RAIN RATE. GIVEN DRY AND
COMPACTED SOILS...HYDRO CONCERNS COULD BE ENHANCED IF INTENSE RAIN
RATES ARE OBSERVED. CONVECTION AND SEVERE THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH
CONSIDERABLY BY 06Z WITH TEMPS OVERNIGHT REMAINING ABOVE NORMAL IN
PART DUE TO ANTICIPATED SKY COVER.

SUNDAY...DID REMOVE MENTION OF PRECIP FOR THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON TIME
PERIOD. POINT SOUNDINGS INDICATE A LARGELY SUBSIDENT ENVIRONMENT.
THERE IS WEAK FORCING FOR ASCENT IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER BUT LIKELY
TOO SHALLOW TO GENERATE CONVECTION. TEMPS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL
BE ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN WITH READINGS REACHING THE LOW TO MID
90S. APPEARS RECORD HIGHS FOR SUNDAY ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE SAFE
FOR ANOTHER YEAR. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WHICH WILL PROVIDE A SHIFT TO
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012

HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA MONDAY-TUESDAY WITH
LOW PRESSURE CENTERS OFF THE EAST AND WEST COASTS. WEST COAST
SYSTEM COMES ASHORE BUT CANT MAKE ANY EASTWARD PROGRESS GIVEN THE
BLOCKING FLOW. BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND/OR
GETS DISPLACED TO THE EAST WITH THE AREA STILL UNDER SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL IN THE 80S WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S...ALSO ABOVE NORMAL.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS
MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS TRAPPED OVER THE AREA.
SATURDAY LOOKS TO HAVE THE LEAST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 505 PM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012

FOR THE 00Z TAFS...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WITH WIND GUSTS AROUND 50KTS
OR SO EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH KGLD TERMINAL CLOSE TO START OF TAF
PERIOD (00Z) ALONG WITH PERHAPS SOME BLOWING DUST AND
THUNDERSTORMS. CIGS REMAIN RATHER HIGH SO ANY RESTRICTIONS IN VIS
LIKELY DUE TO BLOWING DUST. BEHIND THE GUST FRONT JUST SOME MID TO
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM A GENERAL SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION TO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION AROUND 15Z SUNDAY.

FOR KMCK GUST FRONT TIMING A LITTLE MORE QUESTIONABLE BUT RIGHT
NOW LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH TERMINAL AROUND 0130Z OR SO WITH A
THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE. BEHIND THIS AREA OF CONVECTION MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS WITH WIND SHIFT MOVING THROUGH AROUND 19Z SUNDAY.
