Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
541 PM MDT THU JUL 7 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 530 PM MDT Thu Jul 7 2016

Cluster of strong thunderstorms currently diving south into the
cwa from the NE panhandle and moving into a more unstable and
sheared airmass. Short range CAM's really struggling with even
next hour forecast...with the experimental HRRR being the closest.
Think storms will make a push into portions of Kansas while mean
wind continues to advect them to the east. Another area of
congested CU apparent to the southeast of KLIC which may pose
another area for potential storm development before 02z. As WAA
develops tonight redevelopment or maintenance of storms appears
likely with best chances along and south of I70.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 238 PM MDT Thu Jul 7 2016

High dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s have pooled across the
southeast portion of the forecast area in the vicinity of a pre-
frontal trough ahead of a cold front that is approaching the region.
The national analysis shows the front already in the forecast area,
but it appears the cooler and dryer air behind the front is further
to the north across southwest Nebraska.  A few storms are developing
in the vicinity of this front to the north of the forecast area this
afternoon.  The possibility exists for some of these storms to move
across the far northern and northeastern portions of the forecast
area from southwest Nebraska into north central Kansas this evening
and into the overnight hours as a weak short wave trough aloft moves
across Nebraska. Have currently kept pops low enough through the
afternoon and evening to only bring a brief mention of thunderstorms
to the extreme northeast corner around 00Z.

Begin to ramp up pops after midnight over the east central portion
of the forecast area.  This area will be in the vicinity of the
coldfront as it continues to push south into the forecast area
overnight and a weak short wave trough aloft moves east of the
Rockies and across western Kansas.  Additional short wave activity
moves east of the Rockies and across western Kansas through the day
on Friday as the front appears to stall out over southern Kansas and
extend back into central Colorado. Southeast upslope return flow
will bring mid 60 dewpoints back into the area by late Friday with
isolated thunderstorms early in the day becoming scattered across
mainly the southeast portions of the forecast area by late in the
day on Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 238 PM MDT Thu Jul 7 2016

For the extended period there will be a ridge that sits over the CWA
Friday night into Sunday afternoon. After that a trough begins to
move towards the area Sunday evening and impacts the CWA through
Tuesday; but there are some differences between the GFS and European
starting Tuesday (will see which one plays out correctly). Come late
Wednesday into Thursday the models are different in their upper
level flow, so confidence is very low which one is accurate at this
time.

Model runs have differed from yesterday in regards with keeping
Friday and Saturday similar on intensity of storm/precipitation
chances. Current model runs definitely have Friday with a stronger
storm potential and have decreased Saturday's chances a little more
(but Saturday still could see precipitation). Friday has a shortwave
and frontal boundary that moves over the region in the late
afternoon/evening. CAPEs are around 2000-3000 J/kg, 850-500 mb lapse
rates are 7+ C/km and bulk shear is up to 50 kts. Saturday has
another shortwave but it is currently showing to move more south of
the region. So best chances for storms/precipitation will be in the
southern portions of the CWA.

Sunday will be dry during the day but the evening could see some
precipitation around 00z. This is due to the trough moving towards
the CWA, so southwest flow will bring up moisture from the southern
states and another shortwave moves through the upper level flow. As
of current model runs, the CAPE and bulk shear values are not
impressive, so this could possibly be a weak storm/precipitation
event.

Monday is the last day in the extended where the models are in fairly
good agreement. There are some differences in the broadness and exact
placement of the low pressure, but for the most part they agree. As
the trough moves north of the CWA a frontal boundary and shortwave
will sweep across the region and bring with it storm/precipitation
chances in the evening and overnight hours; primarily in the eastern
side of the CWA. CAPES are weak but bulk shear is around 40-50 kts.

Tuesday and Wednesday are the days where the models take fairly
different routes. So confidence is low on what will occur. Will
include slight PoPs each day in a few area due to the large
discrepancies between the models. The GFS keeps each day dry but the
European brings precipitation each evening. So right now it could go
either way.

Thursday, even though the models still disagree in upper level flow
both have precipitation chances in the late afternoon. Again
confidence is very low with what will actually occur.

Temperatures will be in low to mid 90s each day, with a slight
decrease Tuesday in the lower 90s as the low pressure impacts the
region.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 530 PM MDT Thu Jul 7 2016

FOR 00z TAFS...Potential exists for thunderstorms to impact TAF
locations prior to 06z...but large degree of uncertainty at the
moment makes putting a prevailing or vicinity group into difficult
execept for straight interpolating current storms motion. VFR
conditions will prevail...but will monitor potential for period of
fog around sunrise at KGLD. For now...probabilities indicate this
scenario is unlikely but worth keeping an eye on.
