AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
537 PM MDT THU JUN 11 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 PM MDT THU JUN 11 2015

ACROSS THE TRI STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...PARTLY TO MOSTLY SKIES
WITH TEMPS IN THE 70S TO LOW 80S. NORTHERLY FLOW PREVAILING OVER
THE AREA AS REGION SITS NORTH OF MEANDERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY FORMING ALONG THE WESTERN
EDGES OF THE FRONT OVER NC COLORADO AND MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD.

GOING INTO TONIGHT...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT MORE NORTHEASTERLY
TOWARDS FRIDAY MORNING...WHILE REMAINING BEHIND THE FRONT.
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THRU THE NIGHT MAINLY ALONG
THE FRONT. HIGH PW VALUES...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NEAR THE
FRONT...WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE INCREASED CHANCES FOR HEAVIER
RAINFALL TO PERSIST WITH CONVECTION. AS A RESULT...HAVE CONTINUED
HIGHER POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES IN CONJUNCTION WITH
FRONTAL POSITIONING.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND FLASH FLOOD WATCHES FOR EASTERN COLORADO
REMAIN IN EFFECT...BUT AREAL COVERAGE OF THESE TWO WATCHES MAY HAVE
TO BE UPGRADED IF PRECIP PUSHES TOO FAR EASTWARD. COOLER AIRMASS
WITH REGION UNDER NNE FLOW WILL PROVIDE COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS THAN
IN THE PAST FEW NIGHTS...AND WILL RANGE IN THE 50S.

FOR FRIDAY...FRONT REMAINS OVER MUCH OF THE CWA THRU THE DAY. A
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE IN THE DAY...WHICH WILL
AID IN THE SHIFT OF PRECIP EASTWARD TOWARDS THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT
HOURS. WITH ABUNDANT CLOUDS THRU THE DAY...NOT EXPECTING MUCH RISE
IN TEMPS AND EXPECT WELL BELOW NORMAL HIGHS IN THE 60S TO NEAR
70F.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 212 PM MDT THU JUN 11 2015

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS
CURRENTLY OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL MOVE EAST AND STALL OVER THE TRI-
STATE AREA. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 1.5
INCHES...RIVALING THE HIGHEST EVER OBSERVED FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR...AND SLOW STORM MOVEMENT DUE TO THE TROUGH BEING
OVERHEAD...HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP.

THE MOST FAVORED LOCATION FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE
OVER THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE AREA JUST AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS. BEHIND THE AXIS THE LIFT IS MINIMAL TO NON-EXISTENT.
HOWEVER SOUNDINGS/CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS SHOW A VERY MOIST
AIR MASS IN PLACE SO WILL KEEP SOME MUCH LOWER CHANCES FOR
RAINFALL GOING. OVERNIGHT THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST OF THE AREA.
BASED ON THE STRONG LIFT THAT LINGERS OVER THE SOUTHEAST
CONSIDERED GOING FAIRLY HIGH FOR RAINFALL CHANCES. HOWEVER AM
CONCERNED THE TROUGH AXIS MAY END UP MOVING JUST EAST OF THE AREA
SO WILL ONLY INCREASE CHANCES FOR RAINFALL 10 PERCENT OR SO FROM
PREVIOUS FORECAST.

SATURDAY MORNING THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING STORMS OVER
GRAHAM/NORTON COUNTIES BEFORE THE STORM ACTIVITY FOR THE MORNING
ENDS.

DURING THE AFTERNOON ANOTHER ROUND OF WEAK LIFT MOVES OVER THE AREA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS THE FIRST SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTS OUT OF THE
AREA AND ANOTHER ONE MOVES IN.  THE SECOND TROUGH LOOKS FAIRLY
BROAD...LACKING THE MORE FOCUSED LOOK THE EARLIER TROUGH HAD.  IN
ADDITION CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS ARE MUCH HIGHER WITH THIS
TROUGH.  WILL HAVE SOME LOW CHANCES FOR RAINFALL GOING DUE TO THE
FAIRLY STRONG LIFT OVER THE AREA AND SMALL BUT UNHINDERED CAPE OF
LESS THAN 1000 J/KG.

EARLY SATURDAY EVENING LIFT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE
TROUGH FROM THE SOUTHWEST INCREASES BUT CONDENSATION PRESSURE
DEFICITS CONTINUE TO BE HIGH.  WILL HAVE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR
RAINFALL OVER THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THE STRONGEST LIFT WILL BE...BUT
AM NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT DUE TO THE BETTER
FORCING BEING WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA.

HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL WARM FROM FRIDAY AS WARMER AIR MOVES IN FROM
THE SOUTHWEST/WEST.  LOWS WILL ALSO SEE A WARMING TREND FROM THE 50S
TO LOW 60S.

SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY A MORE ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN WILL
SETUP OVER THE PLAINS WITH MULTIPLE SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVING
THROUGH THE FLOW.  DIFFICULT TO TIMEOUT EACH DISTURBANCE AT THIS
TIME RANGE...BUT THERE WILL BE CHANCES FOR RAINFALL EACH DAY.  THE
BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE MONDAY OR TUESDAY WHEN THE 0-
6KM BULK SHEAR IS 30 KTS.  THE REST OF THE PERIOD THE SHEAR WILL BE
TOO WEAK FOR SEVERE STORMS OR THE CINH WILL BE TOO STRONG.

WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANGE IN AIR MASS DURING THE PERIOD HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND LOWS WILL BE IN
THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. THIS IS NEAR NORMAL FOR THE TIME OF
YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 533 PM MDT THU JUN 11 2015

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST OUT OF
COLORADO AND BEGIN TO IMPACT KGLD IN THE EARLY TO MID EVENING
HOURS WITH LOWERING CEILINGS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY. DUE TO THE
SLOW STORM MOTIONS...HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. INSTABILITY
DECREASES FURTHER EAST AND NOT EXPECTING THE STORMS TO MAKE IT TO
KMCK AT THIS TIME. OVERNIGHT...BOTH TERMINALS CAN EXPECT GOOD
CHANCES OF LOW CEILINGS AND PERHAPS SOME FOG IN A MOIST LOW LEVEL
UPSLOPE PATTERN...GRADUALLY IMPROVING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
