AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
711 PM MDT MON APR 8 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 701 PM MDT MON APR 8 2013

BASED ON LATEST STORM MOVEMENT/DEVELOPMENT HAVE ADDED RAWLINS AND
HITCHCOCK TO SVR THUNDERSTORM WATCH.

ADDI TONALLY HAVE ADJUSTED THE PRECIP. CHANCES FOR THE AREA THROUGH
THE MID EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE STABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER THE
SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE AREA. THERE IS SMALL CHANCE A LONE STORM
FROM THE SOUTHWEST COULD OVERCOME THE STABLE ENVIRONMENT...SO KEPT
SLIGHT CHANCES GOING FOR THE EVENING. ALONG THE NE/KS LINE LATEST
MODEL RUNS LOOK MORE UNSTABLE AS LIFT FROM AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT
WAVE TROUGH MOVES OVER THAT AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT DURING THE MID
EVENING. THIS MAY ALLOW THE SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE INTO THE
LATE EVENING. THE LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE THE LOWER AMOUNT OF CAPE
TO WORK WITH AS THE ENVIRONMENT COOLS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 PM MDT MON APR 8 2013

AN UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST UTAH TONIGHT AND THE 4-CORNERS
REGION TUESDAY. BY TUESDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LOW WILL BE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WYOMING AND INTO THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
WEDNESDAY. THE LOW WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND INTO THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY THURSDAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
WILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO TONIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT ENTERING
NORTHEAST COLORADO. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. BY AFTERNOON, THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL
KANSAS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS TUESDAY
NIGHT AND CONTINUE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY.

FOR THIS EVENING EXPECT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING ACROSS THE
AREA. CURRENT RADAR DETECTING STORMS OVER EASTERN COLORADO. STORMS
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND.
SHORTWAVE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH QUICKLY AND CONVECTIVE INHIBITION SETS
IN BY 03Z WITH SEVERE THREAT ENDING. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHWEST ZONES. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
NORTHWEST AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION CHANGING OVER TO SNOW
RATHER QUICKLY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING THAT MID AND UPPER
LEVELS WILL BE DRY FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH ABOUT NOON TUESDAY.
THIS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE. IN FACT, THERE
MAY BE MORE LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE THAN ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WHEN THE SOUNDING SATURATES WITH ICE.  SNOW WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE FA IN EARNEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW CHANCES WILL
DECREASE SOME FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TUESDAY EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW
SHIFTS INTO SOUTHEAST WYOMING. SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF AND
FINALLY END DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. TOTAL SNOWFALL FOR THE EVENT
WILL RANGE FROM 4-7 INCHES IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF YUMA COUNTY
COLORADO WITH 1-3 INCHES WEST OF A LINE FROM TRENTON NEBRASKA TO
CHEYENNE WELLS COLORADO. AMOUNTS EAST OF THAT LINE WILL RANGE UP TO
AN INCH. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH AMOUNTS IN YUMA COUNTY AND STRONG WIND
WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THAT COUNTY. AMOUNTS UP TO 3
INCHES AND WIND WILL FAVOR A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OVER DUNDY
COUNTY NEBRASKA AND CHEYENNE COUNTY KANSAS. STRONG WIND WITH THE
FRONT WILL NECESSITATE A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL OTHER ZONES FOR
TUESDAY. SEE DETAILS BELOW.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY SHOULD BE DRY. THE GFS/NAM BOTH
INDICATED SOME LIGHT QPF FOR THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT PERIOD BUT LEFT
THAT OUT FOR NOW SINCE THE MAIN SYSTEM SHOULD BE EAST OF THE FA.

HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER 30S MODERATING TO
THE MID 40S THURSDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS TO

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 PM MDT MON APR 8 2013

NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING SOME WEAK DISTURBANCES THROUGH DURING THIS
PART OF THE FORECAST. THE FIRST WAVE COMES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND
THE SECOND SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY. MOISTURE IS MARGINAL AND DYNAMICS
ARE WEAK FOR FRIDAY NIGHT.  THE SYSTEM THAT COMES THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT/MONDAY LOOKS MORE FAVORABLE BUT SINCE IT IS SEVERAL DAYS OUT
WILL HOLD TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SHOULD WORK FOR
THE FRIDAY NIGHT SYSTEM AS WELL.

MIN TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 20S. A WARMING
TREND WILL MODERATE LOWS FROM THE LOWER 30S FRIDAY NIGHT TO THE
