AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
542 PM MDT FRI JUN 15 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 134 PM MDT FRI JUN 15 2012

THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT FROM WEST TO
EAST. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS COLORADO WILL TRIGGER
STORMS...WHICH WILL MOVE INTO AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT
IN PLACE OVER THE PLAINS. INITIALLY STORMS WILL BE DISCRETE WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...BUT THEY WILL LIKELY MERGE TO FORM
AN MCS AS THEY APPROACH NORTHWEST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA
AND POSE A THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. STORMS WILL
LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT...BUT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL
DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT. TOMORROW...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL LIE
OVER THE SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA...ROUGHLY A HILL CITY TO LEOTI
LINE...WHERE SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER NORTH OF THE FRONT...UPPER
70S TO LOWER 80S...WITH MID TO UPPER 80S TO THE SOUTH.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 210 PM MDT FRI JUN 15 2012

SATURDAY EVENING ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE
INTO THE AREA FROM EASTERN COLORADO.  MEANWHILE THE COLD FRONT WILL
BE LOCATED SOUTH OF THE AREA.  BEHIND THE COLD FRONT A PV ANOMALY
WILL BE LOCATED ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER WITH THE RIGHT EXIT OF THE
300MB JET OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA.  AM THINKING PRECIP.
CHANCES WILL MAINLY BE TIED TO THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT
SOUTH OF THE AREA...SO HAVE BEST CHANCES FOR THE EAST CENTRAL
COLORADO AREAS AND FOR LOCATIONS ALONG THE TRIBUNE TO HILL CITY
LINE.  AM NOT AS CONFIDENT WITH THE PRECIP. CHANCES OVER THE
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA...BUT WILL INCLUDE THEM ANY WAY DUE TO
THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT.  PRECIP. CHANCES DISSIPATE FOR ALL
BUT THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA AS CINH INCREASE BEHIND THE
FRONT AND THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH DISSIPATES.

COULD SEE A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EVENING WITH 0-6KM
BULK SHEAR OF 30-40KTS...MAINLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 24 WHERE SFC BASED
CAPE 1500-2500J/KG IS LOCATED.  HOWEVER 700-500MB CAPE IS LOCATED
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT SO AM THINKING MOST IF NOT ALL
OF THE SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AREA.

DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS PRECIPITATION CHANCES
SHIFT TO THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA WHERE THE RIGHT ENTRANCE OF
THE 300MB JET WILL BE.  AS THE PV ANOMALY MOVES EAST OUT OF THE AREA
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS PRECIP. CHANCES DIMINISH.

SUNDAY A DRY LINE WILL DEVELOP WEST OF THE TRI-STATE AREA DURING THE
EARLY AFTERNOON...PROGRESSING EAST TOWARD THE HIGHWAY 27 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.  AM NOT TOO CONFIDENT
THAT THERE WILL BE ANY STORM DEVELOPMENT.  HOWEVER WITH SURFACE
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRY LINE AND MINIMAL CINH WITH 500-1000J/KG
OF SFC BASED CAPE TO WORK...WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
CERTAINLY POSSIBLY DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. TOWARD LATE EVENING ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
SHOULD DISSIPATE AS THE ENVIRONMENT COOLS.

NEAR RECORD TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. DID LOWER
HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES FOLLOWING THE MODELS THAT HAD BEEN
VERIFYING THE BEST RECENTLY.

FOR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE PERIOD WILL START OUT DRY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN CONUS.
THE JET BEGINS TO MOVE SOUTH TUESDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE
TROUGH MOVES OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEEPENING AS IT PROGRESSES
SOUTHEAST.  AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET MOVES OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY A
COLD FRONT MOVES IN AND STALLS ACROSS THE AREA.  SOUNDINGS AND PLAN
VIEW SHOW A DRY ENVIRONMENT OVER THE AREA SO WILL LEAVE WEDNESDAY
DRY.  PRECIP. CHANCES RETURN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT
WAVE TROUGH MOVES OVER THE AREA.  PRECIP. CHANCES CONTINUE THURSDAY
AHEAD OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH AXIS THAT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA PUSHING
THE COLD FRONT EAST.  PRECIP. CHANCES END BEHIND THE LONG WAVE
TROUGH AXIS THURSDAY NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE THE WARMEST ON MONDAY THEN
SLOWLY COOL THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET
SHIFTS SOUTHWARD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 542 PM MDT FRI JUN 15 2012

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AT BOTH KGLD
AND KMCK TERMINALS. PRIMARY AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE
THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES AT BOTH TERMINALS THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY ALREADY DEVELOPED OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND IS MOVING
EAST TOWARDS KITR. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AS IT APPROACHES THE KS/CO STATE LINE...AND THEN
OVERSPREAD BOTH TERMINALS THIS EVENING. A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS. THUNDERSTORM SHOULD DIMINISH
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A STABLE AIR MASS MOVES BACK INTO THE REGION. A
COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING
WITH WINDS SHIFTING FROM THE EAST/SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTH AT BOTH
TERMINALS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 210 PM MDT FRI JUN 15 2012

SUNDAY AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL FALL TO AROUND 15 PERCENT
AND WINDS MAY GUST TO AROUND 25 MPH WEST OF THE DRY LINE.  AS A
RESULT HAZARDOUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE GENERALLY WEST
OF THE COLORADO BORDER.  CURRENT FORECAST OF WINDS AND RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES BARELY MEET THE CRITERIA FOR A FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHT.
IN ADDITION THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE PLACEMENT
OF THE DRY LINE SO WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING A HIGHLITE AT THIS TIME.
