Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
550 PM MDT THU JUL 14 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Friday)
Issued at 3:30 PM MDT Thu Jul 14 2016

Surface map is rather chaotic with generally weak flow and lack of
well defined features. Thunderstorms are currently developing over
eastern Colorado in weak upslope flow and along and ahead of wind
convergent zone which lies just west of forecast area. Decent CAPE
of 1500 J/KG and deep layer shear of 35 kts is present to promote
storm organization next 4-5 hours with a few splitting storms into
the evening hours. Mean winds are from 290 deg around 15 kts so
storms will be slow to enter far western Kansas late this afternoon
and evening.

Guidance overnight into Friday suggests a thunderstorm complex may
develop further north in Nebraska/South Dakota and move southeast
overnight and graze the extreme northeast portion of the CWA Friday
morning. Confidence is not all that high that we will be affected as
the bulk of the precip may remain to our northeast but this feature
is mentioned in forecast. By mid-afternoon, sfc heating will erase
convective inhibition and scattered thunderstorms are expected to
develop on any remaining mesoscale boundaries.

Temps Friday will be similar to this afternoon with highs remaining
in the 80s and little change in 850 mb temps next 24 hours.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM MDT Thu Jul 14 2016

Friday night and Saturday morning: Shortwave trough moves across the
region with thunderstorm chances prevailing through the night. CAPE
values remain in the 1200 to 1800 J/Kg range through the overnight
with very high shear values of 50 to 70 kt. We could see elevated
supercell mode of convection with large hail risk mainly in the
eastern portions of the CWA as the H5 shortwave exits the region.
Although there is some disagreement between the GFS and ECMWF with
regards to CAPE and deep layer shear, overall spacial and temporal
agreement looks good.

Saturday and Sunday: Isolated to scattered thunderstorms mainly
across far southwest Nebraska will be possible Saturday afternoon
with isolated thunderstorm chances elsewhere as a weak shortwave
traverses the region. A ridge begins to build into the central
Plains through the day on Sunday with an axis centered in northern
TX and southern OK. Moisture levels will increase in the western
portions of the CWA along the edge of the ridge which could lead to
slight chances for evening/nighttime thunderstorms on Sunday. It is
worth noting that due to the proximity of the ridge it will be
difficult to initiate convection therefore I left pops in the 10-15
percent range.

Monday through Wednesday: Medium range guidance indicates daily PoPs
across the region; however with the ridge firmly in place over the
central Plains, I left PoPs nil to slgt which is probably
optimistic. High pressure ridge at the H5 lvl will approach 600dam
by late Monday and early Tuesday, remaining locked in over the
region through the forecast period. Will need to pay close attention
to high temperatures as superblend is persistent with highs in the
upper 90s and some 100s. With very strong ridging in play we may be
looking to easily exceed 100 degrees by mid-week across much of the
CWA.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 541 PM MDT Thu Jul 14 2016

Vfr conditions are expected at this time. Models having a hard
time catching onto what is going on right now. Surface convergence
occurring over the far south and southwest portion of the area at
this time with a right rear quadrant of upper jet on top of it.
That area is slow moving and some indication per what where the
right rear quadrant goes and mid level warm air advection that
this area should continue to move slowly toward the east.

From this first round of thunderstorms, it looks like Kmck will be
precipitation free. At this time am thinking that this first
cluster of storms will not affect kgld and will leave out. Models
then depict a thunderstorm complex to move in from Nebraska late
tonight and early tomorrow morning. However, models also disagree
on this and any resulting convection in the afternoon due to
problematic location of where outflow boundary ends up. At this
time put in vcts for Kmck in the 11z to 15z time frame and then
once again beginning at 20z.

However, indications are that afternoon development could be
further west. However, left any mention of thunderstorms out of
the Kgld forecast.
