Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
238 PM MDT SAT AUG 13 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 238 PM MDT Sat Aug 13 2016

Upper level flow across the high plains is trending towards the
northwest with a series of troughs rotating through the region.
The nearest mid-upper level trough is over western Kansas, with a
second upper level circulation moving out of the Great Basin into
western Colorado.

This afternoon-Tonight...Large scale forcing will remain in place
due to passing shortwave troughs, and there is enough
moisture/instability to support thunderstorm development which is
already underway in our west. Combination of stabilizing lower
levels and exiting shortwaves should allow a decrease in coverage
by late evening. NAM is indicating redevelopment possible late
in our north, however this is the outlier with short range and
high resolution guidance favoring dry conditions after 06z in our
CWA.

PWATs are actually slightly below normal for this time
of year, but due to the slow storm motions locally heavy rainfall
will still be possible. RAP indicates ML CAPE ranging from 500-1500
J/KG in region where convective activity is ongoing. SB CAPE may
be a little higher in our southeast, and this could support a
limited large hail threat. With very little effective shear, an
organized severe threat is unlikely and pulse type severe
thunderstorms would be favored. DCAPE values in the 1500 J/KG
range along with a well mixed dry adiabatic sub cloud layer could
support microburst potential.

Sunday...Upper level ridge begins to hold a stronger influence on
large scale pattern as it shifts east. I couldn't rule out a weak
mid level vort max rotating through the region kicking off an
isolated thunderstorm. Trend should be large scale subsidence and
drier air advecting over our CWA, and consensus favors dry
conditions. The airmass through the mixed layer should remain
similar to today, with seasonal highs in the upper 80s/lower 90s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 210 PM MDT Sat Aug 13 2016

Zonal pattern with west to northwest flow will prevail Sunday
night with weak, elongated high pressure over the southern
states and weak troughing to the east. A series of low pressure
systems will rotate around a large area of low pressure situated
in east central Canada, bringing a series of cold fronts to the
upper and central Plains. The CWA will be situated between the
influence of the high pressure to the south and cold fronts to the
north with the high pressure prevailing through much of the
extended period. Sunday night through Wednesday, high pressure
will be the main influence with warmer than average temperatures
in the lower 90s and dry weather. The pattern will shift further
south as we head into Thursday with PoPs increasing from west to
east as the first in a series of cold fronts traverse the CWA. A
stronger front will move into the area on Saturday with
thunderstorm chances increasing along and ahead of the front and
cooler, drier air behind the front. Temperatures will top out in
the middle 80s on friday and the lower 80s on Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Sat Aug 13 2016

VFR conditions should prevail through the TAF period, with winds
generally remaining below 12kt. Winds may begin to increase from
the southwest Sunday morning to around 12kt during the last 6
hours of the TAF period at KGLD as gradient begins to increase.
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible and appear likely to move
within the vicinity of both KGLD and KMCK late this afternoon and
evening. Current short range guidance is favoring the early
evening period at both terminals.
