AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1129 PM MDT SUN MAR 22 2015
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 154 PM MDT SUN MAR 22 2015
VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWED MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS
REGION IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON WITH A FEW HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS. WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A STEADY STREAM OF VERY DRY AIR MOVING FROM THE
CENTRAL MEXICAN DESERT INTO THE TRI STATE AREA...HOWEVER THE DRY AIR
SLOT WAS MOVING OUT OF THE AREA WITH INCREASED AREAS OF UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE AND INTO THE HIGH
PLAINS.
INCREASED MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE REGION OVER THE
COLORADO FRONT RANGE TONIGHT...WHICH WILL BRING INCREASED UPPER
LEVEL CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME
WEAK COOL AIR ADVECTION AT 850 MB AND THE SURFACE...THE CLOUD COVER
BLANKET SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S TONIGHT.
SURFACE WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTHEAST MONDAY AFTER A SURFACE
TROUGH REDEVELOPS OVER THE AREA...BUT CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE TO
PERSIST OVER THE AREA TO KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER IN
THE MID 60S...WHICH IS STILL ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE
LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES BETWEEN 25 AND 30
PERCENT...SO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED
MONDAY.
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE REGION MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHICH COULD SPARK SOME RAIN SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT MAINLY FOR LOCATIONS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 36
AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 283. NOT VERY CONFIDENT AND REMAIN SKEPTICAL
THAT STORMS WILL INITIATE GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE LOWER LEVEL
CAPPING INVERSION AND LACK OF A SOLID MOIST LAYER IN MODEL
SOUNDINGS. LAPSE RATES STEEP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY CAPE ARE MOSTLY
RESULTING FROM PARCELS ORIGINATING AT 700 MB. MOST LIKELY WILL SEE
SOME GROWING CUMULUS CLOUDS INSTEAD OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL NOT BE IMPRESSIVE IN STRENGTH OR
DURATION.
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM MDT SUN MAR 22 2015
WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT WITH
STRONGER FORCING AHEAD OF NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH ARRIVING BY 12Z
TUESDAY. DRY AIR AND STRONG CAP WILL GENERALLY
INHIBIT INITIATION...THOUGH THERE IS INDICATION OF A WEAKENING OF
THE CAP IN THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA. BETTER
INSTABILITY TRANSITIONS EAST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS
MAY IMPACT MOST OF THE REGION THROUGH 15Z TUESDAY...HOWEVER AS
TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS EAST STRONG SUBSIDENCE WILL LEAD TO CLEARING
FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST.
TUESDAY...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW FAVORABLE SET UP FOR STRONG
WINDS AND LOW TD VALUES TUESDAY...AND FIRE WEATHER WATCH WAS
ISSUED BASED ON CURRENT RH/WIND FORECAST. I COULD STILL SEE
MARGINAL HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF
THE CWA BASED ON MIXING HEIGHTS AND H7 JET AXIS...HOWEVER IT IS
STILL TOO UNCERTAIN FOR HIGH WIND WATCH ISSUANCE. THERE IS SOME
INDICATION OF HIGHER RH VALUES HOLDING UP IN OUR NORTHEAST BASED
ON HOW WARM TEMPS GET...AND HOW FAR EAST DRIER AIR ADVECTS. I
DECIDED TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND INCLUDE ENTIRE AREA IN FIRE
WEATHER WATCH...CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WINDS. IF THERE
IS A WETTING RAIN FUELS MAY ALSO BE UNFAVORABLE IN THE NORTH AND
EAST...SO THIS WILL NEED TO BE A CONSIDERATION FOR LOCATION OF RED
FLAG WARNING WHEN IT COMES TIME TO UPGRADE.
WEDNESDAY-SUNDAY...AMPLIFIED FLOW WITH ACTIVE NORTHERN FLOW WILL
BE IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE RIDGE TRANSITIONS EAST OVER OUR
CWA. QUICK MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGHS/MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAXES WILL
ROTATE SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS AND COULD LEAD TO OCCASIONAL SHOTS
OF LIGHT SHOWERS. BEST SIGNAL CONTINUES TO BE THURSDAY...THOUGH
MOISTURE MAY BE A CONCERN AND ANY PRECIP WOULD BE LIGHT. NEAR
SEASONAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH A
RETURN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS SATURDAY/SUNDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 20Z AT BOTH TAF SITES. SOME
THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
MAINLY AT MCCOOK. AT THIS TIME THOUGH...DO NOT FEEL PROBABILITY
HIGH ENOUGH FOR PREVAILING GROUP.
