AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1158 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1021 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

THERE MAY BE SOME LOCALIZED SPOTS WHERE VISIBILITIES ARE NEAR A
QUARTER MILE WITHIN THE FORMER ADVISORY...BUT THESE SHOULD CLEAR
IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. HOWEVER THE MAJORITY OF THE DENSE FOG AS
LIFTED SO HAVE ALLOWED THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY TO EXPIRE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 756 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE DENSE FOG DEVELOPED OVER SOME OF THE WESTERN
COUNTIES. DUE TO THE VARYING INTENSITY OF THE FOG...WAITED A
LITTLE WHILE BEFORE ISSUING A DENSE FOG ADVISORY TO MAKE SURE THE
DENSE FOG WOULD PERSIST LONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ADVISORY. THE
FOG SHOULD BEGIN TO LIFT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. DURING THAT
TIME THE FOG MAY VARY IN INTENSITY BOTH SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 430 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

RATHER CHALLENGING FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 84 HOURS.

TODAY-TONIGHT...STRATUS WITH PERHAPS SOME DRIZZLE COVERING
NEARLY THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...EXCEPTION BEING THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF KIT CARSON AND CHEYENNE COUNTIES OF COLORADO
WHERE WINDS MORE WESTERLY VS EASTERLY. LOW CLOUDS/FOG/DRIZZLE
EXPECTED THROUGH 17Z OR SO BEFORE LOW LEVELS SCOUR OUT LEAVING A
MOSTLY SUNNY SKY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
CU/TCU AND MAYBE A SHALLOW THUNDERSTORM FROM 21Z-02Z FROM NEAR
TRIBUNE TO BURLINGTON AND YUMA WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE MAXIMIZED
WITHIN WEAK CAPE. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S NORTH WITH NEAR
80 FAR SOUTH. LOW CLOUDS/FOG/DRIZZLE MOVE BACK IN MID TO LATE
EVENING AND CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. THE SOUTHWEST/WEST EXTENT IS IN
QUESTION AS NAM PUSHES THE AIRMASS FURTHER WEST COMPARED TO GFS
WHICH ISNT QUITE AS FAR. EITHER WAY BEST CHANCE FOR FOG AND MAYBE
SOME DRIZZLE IS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST 2/3 OR SO OF THE AREA. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 IN FAR EASTERN COLORADO
WITH LOW 40S ELSEWHERE.

WEDNESDAY-WEDNESDAY NIGHT...PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT PORTION
OF THE FORECAST. NAM/SREF KEEP THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM
NEAR YUMA TO GOODLAND AND LEOTI WHILE THE GFS BRINGS THE DRIER AIR
AND GUSTIER SOUTHWEST WINDS ANOTHER ROW OF COUNTIES NORTHEAST OR
SO. THIS WILL IMPACT THE TEMPERATURE/WIND AND RH FORECAST WHICH
WILL IMPACT FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD NAM/SREF
FOR THIS FORECAST. SO WITH THAT AM EXPECTING CLOUDINESS TO QUICKLY
DECREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHILE
NORTHEAST AND EAST OF IT STRATUS WILL PLAGUE THE AREA WITH QUITE A
BIT OF CLOUDINESS. WIDE RANGE IN AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WITH UPPER
50S TO AROUND 60 NORTH AND AROUND 80 FAR SOUTH. MAY AGAIN SEE SOME
CU/TCU/WEAK CB ALONG CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY WHICH RIGHT NOW LOOKS TO
BE FROM NEAR YUMA TO GOODLAND AND LEOTI DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON. WILL MAINTAIN SILENT POPS FOR NOW. COLD FRONT MOVES IN
DURING THE NIGHT BRINGING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO PARTS OF
THE AREA. WILL LIKELY HAVE TO DEAL WITH STRATUS/FOG/MAYBE DRIZZLE
ONCE AGAIN BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE
MID 30S WEST TO LOW 40S EAST.

THURSDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT...RATHER WINDY DURING THE DAY WITH NORTHWEST
WINDS GUSTING TO 40 MPH. SOME RAIN SHOWERS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE...MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 WITH THE BEST CHANCE
ALONG/NORTH OF THE CO/NE BORDER. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW
50S NORTHWEST WITH AROUND 60 FAR EAST AND SOUTH. WINDS QUICKLY
DECREASE AROUND SUNSET WITH JUST A FEW MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 30S.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

A LOT OF DIFFERENCES EXIT AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...ESPECIALLY
ON THE SPEED AND AMPLITUDE OF THE INCOMING SHORTWAVES. THIS ALSO
AFFECTS TIMING OF THE SURFACE TROUGHS/FRONTS MOVING THROUGH AS
WELL. EVEN THOUGH DIFFERENCES EXIST IN MODEL TIMING OF SHORTWAVES
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...THEY DO SHOW SOME LIFT MOVING THROUGH
WITH ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INCREASING INSTABILITY. ALSO SOME KIND OF
BOUNDARY WILL BE AROUND.

WHAT THE CHR_INIT GAVE ME THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH SLIGHT
CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS...WAS REASONABLE BASED ON THE REASONING
ABOVE. SO DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THIS PERIOD. OF NOTE ON LEE
SIDE TROUGH POSITION AND STRENGTH...CONSIDERING A GOOD CROSS
MOUNTAIN FLOW...LEE TROUGH MAY END UP FURTHER WEST AND STRONGER.
IF THAT ENDS UP BEING THE CASE...INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE COULD BE
EVEN GREATER THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED AND WILL BE SOMETHING THAT
NEEDS TO BE WATCHED.

FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...MODEL DIFFERENCES DO EXIST ON DETAILS BUT
THEY DO AGREE IN BRINGING A MORE ORGANIZED TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA.
HOWEVER THE SPLIT FLOW STILL EXISTS FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WITH A
STRONGER OR MORE CLOSED OFF SYSTEM IN THE SOUTHERN BRANCH. AT THE
SAME TIME A MODERATELY STRONG OPEN WAVE MOVES ACROSS IN THE
NORTHERN BRANCH AND WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE MORE OF AN AFFECT ON OUR
AREA. WITH THE SAME REASONING GIVEN ABOVE DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES
AND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE FLOW...CHOSE TO NOT CHANGE WHAT THE INIT
GAVE ME FOR POPS. ALTHOUGH IF ONCE AGAIN THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS
FURTHER WEST COMBINED WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE SHORTWAVE...
PRECIPITATION CHANCES COULD BE GREATER THAN ADVERTISED.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FRIDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WHICH WILL JUST HAVE
A LIGHT RAIN MENTIONED...THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY PRESENT TO WARRANT A THUNDERSTORM MENTION. CONSIDERING
THE MODEL DIFFERENCES ON FRONTAL TIMING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
MORE CLOUD COVER THAN EXPECTED...THE INIT TEMPERATURES LOOKED
REASONABLE AT THIS TIME AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1149 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

MAIN CHALLENGES WILL BE THE TIMING OF THE STRATUS CLEARING AND
WHEN THE FOG/STRATUS WILL MOVE IN TONIGHT. CURRENT SATELLITE
SHOWS THE STRATUS BURNING OFF FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. KMCK MAY OR MAY
NOT GO VFR FOR CEILINGS BEFORE 0Z SO HAVE A TEMPO GROUP TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE UNCERTAINTY. TONIGHT THE SAME MOIST AIR MASS WILL
RETURN...SO BASED TIMING OF THE FOG/STRATUS LARGELY WHAT HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT WHICH SEEMED TO AGREE WITH LATEST MODEL DATA. AS WITH
LAST NIGHT...COULD SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES AS
THE FOG ROLLS IN. HOWEVER THE LOWEST VISIBILITIES WILL OCCUR
DURING THE MORNING...IMPROVING BY MID MORNING WITH STRATUS HOLDING
UNTIL THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 430 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2015

FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY WEST OF A LINE FROM FLAGLER TO CHEYENNE
WELLS TO LEOTI RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE FORECAST TO DROP INTO
THE 10 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE. THERE WILL BE A TWO TO THREE HOUR
WINDOW LATE THIS AFTERNOON FOR SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS TO GUST
NEAR 25 MPH OVER FAR WESTERN CHEYENNE AND KIT CARSON COUNTIES.
THIS WILL CREATE CRITICAL OR NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
GIVEN THE LIMITED COVERAGE OF BOTH WIND AND HUMIDITY NO HIGHLITES
WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT WEDNESDAY FROM 11 AM MDT
NOON (CDT) THROUGH 7 PM MDT (8 PM CDT) FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY WEST
OF A LINE FROM BURLINGTON TO SHARON SPRINGS AND LEOTI. IN THIS AREA
WINDS WILL GUST TO 35 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS FORECAST TO DROP
TO 10 PERCENT.

ON MONDAY NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AS
NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS COMBINE
WITH AFTERNOON HUMIDITY AROUND 20 PERCENT.
