AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
230 AM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 229 PM MDT SUN MAR 16 2014

TONIGHT...WARM FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA WITH WEST/SOUTHWEST
WINDS 10-15 MPH IN ITS WAKE. HIGH CLOUDINESS SPILLS INTO THE AREA
OVER THE UPPER RIDGE BUT THE EXTENT OF CLOUDINESS IS IN QUESTION.
ALWAYS A TOUGH CALL WITH CIRRUS AS 300MB MOISTURE SOMETIMES IS
OVERDONE BUT THEN AGAIN SOMETIMES NOT. 500-300 MOISTURE WOULD
SUGGEST A MOSTLY CLEAR TO POSSIBLY PARTLY CLOUDY SKY AND THATS THE
WAY I WENT. IF THICKER CLOUDS DEVELOP THIS COULD IMPACT LOW
TEMPERATURE FORECAST WHICH COULD PRODUCE SLIGHTLY WARMER LOWS. FOR
NOW HAVE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S.

MONDAY...STRONG 6-8MB 3 HOURLY PRESSURE FALLS AND 13-15MB 6 HOUR
PRESSURE FALLS DEVELOP DURING THE LATE MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON
HOURS AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. IN RESPONSE TO THE PRESSURE
FALLS SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO NEAR 30 MPH DEVELOP WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. 850 THERMAL RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA SUPPORTIVE OF HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80. HIGH CLOUDINESS GRADUALLY
INCREASES FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE DAY WHICH MAY IMPACT
TEMPERATURE FORECAST. GIVEN THE DEEP MIXING AND MODEST SOUTHWEST
WINDS THINK THEY CAN OVERCOME ANY HIGH CLOUDINESS AND ALLOW US TO
REACH FORECAST HIGHS.

WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POSSIBILITY OF COLD FRONT REACHING THE
NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE AREA QUICKER THEN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. 12Z
NAM A BIT QUICKER IN BRINGING PRESSURE RISES INTO THAT PART OF THE
AREA VS 06Z GUIDANCE. THIS COULD IMPACT WIND...TEMPERATURE AND
DEW POINT/RELATIVE HUMIDITY FORECAST.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 230 AM MDT MON MAR 17 2014

GENERALLY A QUIET WX PATTERN FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO
THE WEEKEND. ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN WILL BE THAT OF WEAK
RIDGING TO NORTHWEST/ZONAL FLOW...WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. AT THE SURFACE EXPECT A
COLD FRONT LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF
COLD AIR SATURDAY AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PRECIP.

THURSDAY WILL BE MILD WITH A LIGHT SOUTHERLY WIND AT LOWER LEVELS
AND 850MB TEMPS RISING TO +15C RESULTING IN HIGHS APPROACHING THE
70S. WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON...SO WHILE RH
VALUES WILL BE 10 TO 15 PERCENT...DOES NOT LOOK LIKE CRITICAL FIRE
WX CONDITIONS WILL BE MET.

LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH THROUGH
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS RESULTING IN COOLER TEMPS...BREEZY WINDS OUT
OF THE NORTH...AND INCREASING CLOUDS. WHILE PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE
NIL FOR FRIDAY...ON SATURDAY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE
PAC NW...ACROSS THE COLORADO ROCKIES...AND INTO WESTERN KANSAS.
LARGE SCALE FORCING IS QUITE GOOD LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY...INCLUDING GOOD H5 PVA AND EXCELLENT NEGATIVE OMEGA /UPWARD
MOTION/ IN THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE. MODEL SOUNDINGS DO NOT SHOW
MUCH INSTABILITY AND WITH A DRY LAYER NEAR THE SURFACE TO OVERCOME
THIS DOES NOT APPEAR AT THIS POINT TO BE ANYTHING BUT A NUISANCE
SNOW TO RAIN/SNOW EVENT. PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT...A FEW
HUNDREDTHS LIQUID EQUIVALENT.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1108 PM MDT SUN MAR 16 2014

VFR EXPECTED AT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. SURFACE
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY FROM THE SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW AHEAD OF A SURFACE TROUGH IN EASTERN COLORADO. MONDAY
NIGHT...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE TERMINALS WITH
WINDS SHIFTING TO NORTHWEST AND INCREASING. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST
MAY DEVELOP WITH ASSOCIATED VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS MONDAY NIGHT.
