AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
106 PM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 105 PM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO
FIRE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS.  UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A TROUGH
OVER EASTERN COLORADO MOVING EASTWARD TOWARD THE TRI-STATE AREA.  AT
THE SURFACE A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED SOUTH OF LIMON STRETCHING
NORTHEAST BETWEEN ST. FRANCIS AND GOODLAND TO SOUTH OF IMPERIAL.  A
DRY LINE WAS LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA THEN PARALLELING THE
CO/KS BORDER TO THE SOUTH.

FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AM ANTICIPATING STORMS TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT...WITH DEVELOPMENT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ALONG
THE DRY LINE.  MEAN STORM MOTION WILL BE TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST BUT
THE STORMS WILL MOVE AS WHOLE TO THE EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
DUE TO THE MEAN FLOW BEING PARALLEL WITH THE FRONT...THUNDERSTORM
TRAINING WILL BE A CONCERN AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES.  THIS MAY
LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING.  IN ADDITION THE LONG RESENECE TIME
ALONG THE FRONT...PROVIDED THE STORMS DO NOT SHIFT OFF OF THE
FRONT...MAY ALLOW FOR LAND SPOUTS TO DEVELOP.  OTHERWISE...THE MAIN
THREAT WILL BE THE LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT
DEVELOPS.  DAMAGING WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IF STORMS MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE THIS
AFTERNOON.

MEANWHILE THE 700MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH WEST OF THE AREA WILL FIRE OFF
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL FOLLOW THE TROUGH EAST INTO THE AREA.
THE ONLY THREATS WITH THESE STORMS...SHOULD THEY BECOME
SEVERE...WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.  THIS SECOND LINE
MAY MERGE WITH THE LINE FIRING OFF OF THE FRONT AND DRY LINE LATER
THIS AFTERNOON OR REMAIN BEHIND IT.

FOR THIS EVENING AM EXPECTING THE SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE AS
INSTABILITY REMAINS WITH VERY LITTLE CINH AHEAD OF THE ADVANCING COLD
FRONT.  THE STORM MOTION AND SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING FROM THE AFTERNOON.  BEHIND THE FRONT THE SEVERE THREAT
SHOULD BE MINIMAL AT BEST DURING THE EVENING DUE TO THE BETTER
INSTABILITY BEING ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  ANTICPATE THE TORNADO
THREAT TO DISSIPATE BY MID EVENING AS TEMPERATURES COOL.  HOWEVER
THE REST OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THREATS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT IS EAST OF THE AREA WHICH SHOULD BE SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THE MODELS SHOW THE 700MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH LINGERING OVER THE
EAST...SO WILL HAVE SOME PRECIP. CHANCES LINGERING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS OVER THE EAST AS A RESULT.

MEANWHILE A SECOND 700MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES OVER THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT.  SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH SO WILL PLACE A MENTION OF ISOLATED CHANCES
IN THE FORECAST.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 417 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

EXTENDED RANGE LOOKS TO BE SEASONABLE FOR THE BEGINNING OF JUNE.
PERIOD BEGINS ON SATURDAY WITH THE UPPER LOW THAT WILL BE OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS LATE THIS WEEK MOVING EAST INTO THE MIDWEST WHILE A
LONG WAVE RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS BEHIND IT ON SUNDAY.
SOUTHERLY FLOW AT 850MB WILL BRING WARMER AIR UP FOR LATE IN THE
WEEKEND THROUGH MID-NEXT WEEK. ON MONDAY A SURFACE TROUGH/DRY LINE
WILL SET UP ALONG OR NEAR THE KANSAS-COLORADO BORDER. AT THE SAME
TIME A NUMBER OF WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MOVE UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA...WHICH ALONG WITH DIURNAL HEATING COULD
SET OFF SOME SHOWERS/STORMS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TUESDAY WILL HAVE
HIGHS WELL ABOVE NORMAL...WITH THE GFS AND GEM PROJECTING 850MB
TEMPS IN EXCESS OF 30C. ECMWF IS A BIT MORE CONSERVATIVE...BUT EVEN
SO BELIEVE HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL BE WELL INTO THE 90S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1142 AM MDT WED MAY 29 2013

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN OVER THE REGION
TODAY...ALLOWING FOR UNSTABLE CONDITIONS AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP.  THUNDERSTORM INITIATION WILL OCCUR AROUND 19Z FOR KGLD AND
WILL APPROACH KMCK AROUND 21Z. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT
NEAR/OVER THE TAF SITES PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN...HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR BOTH TAF SITES WITH MVFR CEILINGS
IN THUNDERSTORMS. AS THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION...WINDS
WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTHWEST BY 6Z.  THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY 6Z WITH CEILING CONDITIONS RETURNING TO
VFR FOR BOTH TAF SITES.
