Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
525 PM MDT MON AUG 22 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 220 PM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016

A weather disturbance is forecast to move across much of the area
from the southwest later this afternoon through much of the
overnight hours. Some gusty outflow winds and locally heavy rainfall
will be the primary threats. Breezy southerly winds expected to
continue through midnight before slowly decreasing and veering to
the southwest and west (along/west of the CO/KS border) ahead of an
approaching front. Low temperatures should range from the mid 50s to
near 60 in far eastern Colorado with low to upper 60s east of the
border.

For Tuesday the back end of expected precipitation will just about
clear the far east and northeast parts of the area around sunrise
with a mostly sunny sky the rest of the day. There may be an
isolated thunderstorm along the front generally centered from
Trenton to Goodland and Tribune during the afternoon. High
temperatures in the upper 80s to around 90 west with low to mid 90s
elsewhere expected.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 219 PM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016

Tuesday Night through Thursday...Main forecast concern for the
period will be placement and impacts related to strong frontal
boundary that will likely be to the south of the area during the
period. While the position of large scale features seems to have a
large degree of agreement with respect to latest forecasts...details
impacting sensible wx seem to show a large degree of variability
evident in SREF plumes of temperature with 30 degrees separating the
coolest and warmest members on Wednesday...with EKDMOS showing a
similar (20 F) spread between 10 and 90th percentiles. With this
data in mind...overall temperature forecast will be rather low
confidence as highly variable elements like the degree of cloud
cover will play a large role in observed values.

CWA will most likely start period in post frontal/upslope flow
regime with persistent CAA from the east. Am a little unsure of
magnitude of cold air as a lot of it appears driven by diabatic
processes along front...but good agreement on overall pattern. PV
fields indicate short wave trough will slide over the area on
Tuesday Night and Wednesday and while static stability does appear
somewhat low...elevated condensation pressure deficits call into
question whether any parcels would become saturated to take
advantage of lift. That being said...enough support to at least
warrant chance pops on Wednesday morning and will focus things in
eastern cwa where H7 frontal zone may focus mesocale ascent in
presence of aforementioned instability. Precipitation should move
to the south and diminish through the afternoon and evening.
Chance for showers will remain along periphery of cwa through
Thursday...but expect bulk of precipitation to be south and west
of area.

In the extended (Thursday Night- Monday)...Weather pattern will
remain active across the area through the period as CWA remains on
periphery of southeast CONUS ridge with a series of weak short wave
impulses moving through the flow. As sfc low/trough develops over
the start of the period may see gusty southerly winds during the
afternoon on Friday and Saturday which will be key in provided
needed moisture return for convective development and potential
strength of storms. GEFS ensemble plumes support at least a marginal
risk of a severe storm or two Friday night with 1000-1500 J/Kg of
CAPE and around 30kts of shear in most plumes. With large amount of
uncertainty in the closer periods...hard to get to confident in the
details at this point and kept bulk of forecast near mean values.
Aside from periodic storm chances expect a gradual warming trend
through the forecast and high temps climbing into the 90s again by
Monday as H5 ridge begins to amplify.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 525 PM MDT Mon Aug 22 2016

VFR conditions should prevail at both KMCK and KGLD terminals,
though brief drops to MVFR vis (3-6 sm) can't be ruled out if a
stronger thunderstorm were to impact either terminal. Best
thunderstorm coverage will tend to be south of I-70 though KGLD is
in line with best chances, and KMCK later when thunderstorms move
northeast. All of this activity should transition eastward as the
upper level disturbance moves out of the region.

Gusty winds should slowly diminish through the first 6 hours of
the TAF period, then decreasing below 12kt. Surface winds are
still expected to shift to the southwest late tonight, then
northwest by Tuesday afternoon as surface low pressure transitions
over the region. There may be a brief period of low level wind
shear at KMCK late tonight during this transition period (roughly
05-10Z).
