AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
503 PM MDT SAT MAY 7 2016

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 452 PM MDT SAT MAY 7 2016

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS...AS WELL AS POTENTIAL SHORT DURATION HIGH WIND
EVENT BEHIND THE DRY LINE IN CHEYENNE COUNTY COLORADO.

STARTING TO SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHERN CWA AHEAD OF DRY
LINE AND EXPECT FOR THIS TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...BUT WITH LOW LEVEL WINDS IN THIS AREA NOT
NEARLY AS BACKED AS NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE AREA...TORNADO
THREAT WILL BE LESS AND DO NOT SEE ANY REASON TO ADJUST CURRENT
WATCHES. HAVE INCREASED POPS QUITE A BIT AND TRIED TO BE A BIT
MORE DETERMINISTIC AS THIS NEXT AREA OF STORMS DEVELOP AS EXPECT A
FAIRLY SOLID LINE TO DEVELOP BY 00Z.

MAY SEE A PERIOD OF 45-50 KT WIND GUSTS FOR THE NEXT HOUR AS
DRYLINE BEGINS TO MOVE. BASED ON LAA AND NEARBY
OBSERVATIONS...WINDOW FOR SIGNIFICANT WINDS LIMITED AND PEAK
VALUES TOPPING OUT AROUND 48 KTS LOWERS CONFIDENCE IN ANY
WIDESPREAD PERSISTENT HIGH WIND THREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 118 PM MDT SAT MAY 7 2016

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SITUATED OVER CENTRAL COLORADO WILL MOVE SLOWLY
EASTWARD TODAY. A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD INTO
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST OUT
OF EASTERN COLORADO AND INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES AND MOVE SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON COULD RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE AS LIFT
OVERCOMES THE CAPPING MECHANISM THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE THROUGH THE
MORNING. CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL HOWEVER THERE IS AN
INCREASED FAVORABILITY FOR TORNADOES IN YUMA...KIT CARSON...AND
CHEYENNE CO COUNTIES THROUGH AROUND 01Z. DRIER AIR WILL BE PULLED
INTO THE REGION LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
MOVES OFF THE ROCKIES ON SUNDAY WITH THE UPPER LOW RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD WITH ACTIVITY MAINLY EXPECTED EAST OF HWY 27 AS A
WELL DEVELOPED DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO FORM. VERY LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH SUNDAYS THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 118 PM MDT SAT MAY 7 2016

CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AT THE START
OF THIS PERIOD.  WIDE SPREAD LIFT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA AHEAD
OF THE CLOSED LOW SUNDAY NIGHT.  AT THE SURFACE A DRY LINE WILL BE
NEAR THE HIGHWAY 27 CORRIDOR.  THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL BE OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA DURING THE EVENING AS A RESULT.  FURTHER
WEST A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA.  THERE WILL BE SOME
INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH BETWEEN THE COLD FRONT AND THE DRY
LINE...BUT THE BULK OF THE INSTABILITY AND ANY SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
EAST OF THE DRY LINE SUNDAY EVENING.

OVERNIGHT SUNDAY THE MORE INTENSE STORMS WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE
AREA.  AS THE COLD FRONT SLIDES EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA THE WRAP
AROUND CIRCULATION OF THE SURFACE LOW BETWEEN THE DRY LINE AND THE
COLD FRONT WILL CAUSE DEW POINTS TO INCREASE ALONG THE COLD FRONT
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA.  THIS MAY CAUSE ANY STORMS
ALONG THE COLD FRONT TO BECOME STRONGER.

MONDAY THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SEMI-STATIONARY ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
BORDER OF THE AREA. WITH HIGHER DEW POINTS STILL POOLED ALONG THE
FRONT...STRONG STORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG IT. AM NOT EXPECTING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE LOW DEEP LAYER SHEAR
OF 10-15 KTS. DURING THE LATE MORNING AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
STORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE AS ANOTHER ROUND OF LIFT MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA BEHIND THE CLOSED LOW AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST.

MONDAY NIGHT RAIN ACTIVITY WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
AREA AS SUBSIDENCE AND DRY AIR MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE.
DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES
THROUGH THE TRI-STATE AREA...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN WITH IT.
BEHIND THE TROUGH A SHORT WAVE RIDGE WILL MOVE THROUGH.  FOLLOWING
THE RIDGE WILL BE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND
OF RAINFALL WITH IT THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1122 AM MDT SAT MAY 7 2016

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE TAFS. MAIN FOCUS WILL BE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING. CURRENTLY AM
EXPECTING THE LINE OF STORMS MOVING NORTH TO MOVE OVER KMCK EARLY
IN THE TAF. AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE A LULL IN STORM
ACTIVITY BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND OF STORMS DEVELOP AROUND MID
AFTERNOON. THIS ROUND WILL LAST INTO EARLY EVENING BEFORE MOVING
NORTH OF THE SITES. DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC WINDOW OF THE
BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS AT KMCK...ASIDE FROM THE APPROACHING
LINE...DUE TO TIMING INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN MODELS. BASED OFF
THE NEAR TERM MODELS...LOOKS LIKE THE SECOND ROUND OF STORMS WILL
APPROACH KMCK FROM THE WEST AROUND 22Z OR 23Z. KGLD WILL HAVE ITS
SECOND ROUND OF STORMS FROM THE WEST AROUND 21Z AS WELL...BUT THE
SITE WILL BE ON THE SOUTH OF MOST OF THE STORM ACTIVITY.

ONCE THESE STORMS FORM THIS AFTERNOON THEY WILL MOVE NORTH AT
30KTS. THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL UP TO
BASEBALL SIZE AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AROUND 80 MPH. THE SEVERE
THREAT WILL DIMINISH DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE EVENING.
