AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
235 PM MDT THU JUN 14 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 225 PM MDT THU JUN 14 2012

COMPLICATED FORECAST FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
STALLED COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CWA AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BY 21Z.

CURRENT VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS COMPACT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO
MANITOBA WITH VORT MAX MOVING THROUGH NORTH DAKOTA. ANOTHER WAVE
MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL IMPACT THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT THE SURFACE...COLD FRONT HAS SAGGED INTO
THE CWA AND CURRENTLY STALLED ALONG A LINE FROM ABOUT MCCOOK
NEBRASKA TO LAMAR COLORADO AND WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. EXPECT DEVELOPMENT TO BEGIN ALONG CONVERGENCE ZONE NEAR
TRENTON AND WORK SOUTHWARD ALONG FRONT. SURFACE OBS IMPLY THAT WINDS
ARE BEGINNING TO BACK ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CWA WITH MESOLOW
DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF KANSAS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
INCREASED CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CAP HAS QUICKLY
BEGUN TO ERODE AS DAYTIME HEATING HAS HELPED TO MIX OUT THE BOUNDARY
LAYER. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE PROFILE WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE 50S
AND 60S ACROSS THE CWA HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS
ACROSS KANSAS AND NEBRASKA. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1-1.5
INCHES AND RELATIVELY WEAK FLOW ALOFT...STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH WILL LEAD TO FLOOD ISSUES ALONG THE
CONVECTIVE LINE. IN ADDITION...SIGNIFICANT CAPE VALUES OF 3000-4000
J/KG WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG UPDRAFTS AND THE PRODUCTION OF LARGE
HAIL. STORMS WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THIS EVENING.

FRIDAY BRINGS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO BE ABUNDANTLY AVAILABLE AND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH
AND PACIFIC COLD FRONT APPROACH THE REGION. CYCLOGENESIS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS NEW MEXICO BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND WILL ALLOW FOR UPSLOPE
FLOW PATTERN ALONG THE HIGH PLAINS. GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL EXTEND FROM NORTHEAST COLORADO NORTH INTO THE BLACK
HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 225 PM MDT THU JUN 14 2012

AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST FRIDAY
EVENING.  MODELS SHOW THE BEST INSTABILITY TO BE JUST AHEAD OF THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ALONG AND WEST OF THE COLORADO BORDER.  THERE IS
ALSO A SURFACE TROUGH JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA WHICH MAY ALSO SERVE AS
A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION...SO WILL EXTEND PRECIP. CHANCES SOUTH TOWARD
THE TRIBUNE AND LEOTI AREA.  FURTHER EAST OF THE COLORADO BORDER
POINT SOUNDINGS SHOW A WEAK CAP IN PLACE SO WILL KEEP AREAS FURTHER
EAST DRY FOR THE EARLY EVENING. DURING THE LATE EVENING THE SHORT WAVE
TROUGH CONTINUES TO PROGRESS EAST AS DOES THE AXIS OF INSTABILITY.
AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS 850-700MB THETA-E CONVERGENCE
DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE AREA. POINT SOUNDINGS
SATURATE DOWN TO 850MB OR SO. WITH THE ADDED LIFTING OF THE LOW
LEVEL JET AND INCREASED MOISTURE...THIS SHOULD BE THE BEST PERIOD
FOR PRECIPITATION SO HAVE INCREASED PRECIP. CHANCES SOME DURING
THE LATE EVENING. DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD THE SHORT WAVE
TROUGH PROGRESSES EASTWARD...EXITING THE AREA DURING THE EARLY
MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE TRI-STATE AREA BEHIND THE
SHORT WAVE TROUGH. WITH POINT SOUNDINGS SHOWING A DRYING TREND
WILL HAVE PRECIP. CHANCES DECLINE THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

SATURDAY WILL LEAVE IN SOME SLIGHT CHANCES FOR THE MORNING OVER THE
MCCOOK TO HILL CITY AREA AS THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH EXITS
THE AREA. THERE WILL BE SOME LINGERING MOISTURE FOR LIFTING ALONG
THE COLD FRONT TO WORK WITH.  THE COLD FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA
AROUND NOON...STALLING JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON.

DURING THE AFTERNOON AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER
THE WESTERN PART OF THE AREA.  AN INSTABILITY AXIS WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER WITH MINIMAL CINH WHICH WILL ALLOW
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH.  MODELS
ALSO SHOW AN AREA OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE IN THE WIND FIELD
CO-LOCATED WITH THE INSTABILITY AXIS WHICH SHOULD SERVE AS A FOCUS
FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT.  THE STALLED FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA WILL
ALSO SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON SO
HAVE EXTENDED THE PRECIP. CHANCES FROM THE COLORADO BORDER EAST
TOWARD LEOTI AND HILL CITY.  TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP
AROUND THE TRIBUNE TO HILL CITY AREA DUE TO THE MEAN FLOW RUNNING
PARALLEL TO THE STALLED FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA.

SATURDAY NIGHT ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA.  MODELS DISAGREE WITH THE TIMING OF SHORT WAVE TROUGH.
THE NAM/SREF/ECMWF MOVE THE TROUGH THROUGH FASTER WHILE THE GFS
MOVES THE TROUGH THROUGH SLOWER.  WILL SIDE WITH THE CONSENSUS AND
KEEP THE WEST HALF OF THE AREA DRY WITH SOME PRECIP. CHANCES OVER
THE EAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH
EXITS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

FOR THE SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY PERIOD A LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL
REMAIN JUST NORTH OF THE AREA.  ON TUESDAY AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE
TROUGH WILL DEEPEN OVER THE GREAT BASIN...TURNING THE UPPER LEVEL
FLOW TO THE SOUTHWEST.  TUESDAY NIGHT A SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA ACROSS A DRY LINE.  THIS WILL LEAD TO PRECIPITATION
CHANCES FOR THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA.  WEDNESDAY THERE WILL BE
SOME LINGERING PRECIP. CHANCES IN THE FAR EAST AS THE SHORT WAVE
TROUGH DEPARTS THE AREA.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT....GIVING THE AREA THE
BEST SHOT AT PRECIP. CHANCES FOR NEXT WEEK.  BEHIND THE FRONT THE
LONG WAVE TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA...BRINGING PRECIP.
CHANCES TO AN END.  THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING PRECIP. CHANCES OUT
EAST AND SOUTH BEFORE THE FRONT AND TROUGH AXIS EXIT THE AREA
THURSDAY MORNING.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1146 AM MDT THU JUN 14 2012

MAIN CONCERN FOR PREVAILING TAF PERIOD WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH
KGLD WITH WINDS SWITCHING AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE
FRONT. EXPECT MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE TO INITIATE BETWEEN 20-21Z ALONG
THE FRONTAL ZONE. MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL OCCUR SOUTH AND EAST
OF KGLD AND MOVE EASTWARD. HAVE ADDED A VCTS FOR KGLD IN CASE
INITIATION BEGINS FURTHER WEST THAN EXPECTED. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY
AFTER THE FRONT PASSES AND BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT. BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS BRING STRATUS DECK INTO BOTH TERMINALS BY TOMORROW MORNING.
