Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
545 PM MDT Thu Aug 17 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 539 PM MDT Thu Aug 17 2017

Main change was to refine the timing of storms for the Tri-State
Area this evening based on latest radar trends and near term model
data. Model data and radar were both supporting two groups of
storms, one over the south and one over the north. There is more
model agreement and stronger lift and more instability over the
south half of the Tri- State Area, so initially had more
confidence of storms there. However radar trends show the storms
over the north increasing in coverage. The better preforming model
data for these storms has the two groups eventually merging over
the east half of the Tri-State Area. The storm activity will
largely be done before midnight local time. Main threats will be
damaging wind gusts and hail up to golf ball size. The greatest
threat for severe weather will be south of I-70.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 201 PM MDT Thu Aug 17 2017

Forecast issues will be chance of thunderstorms and their severity.
Weak right rear quadrant moves across the area during the night.
Shortwave trough moves across the forecast area the night. So kept
the trend of slight chance to low chance pops progressing across the
area during the night looks good. Shear and other severe
indices/parameters support having at least isolated severe.

Drying and subsidence moves into the area during the day as mid
level heights rise and ridging moves into area. Surface ridge noses
in during the day as winds shift to the north. Guidance very similar
to the previous forecast and made only minor adjustments.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 138 PM MDT Thu Aug 17 2017

Monsoonal moisture continues to advect into the central Plains
region Friday night and Saturday as the H5 ridge remains in place
over southeast Texas. H7 trough sets up in the lee of the Rockies
Saturday afternoon, giving us a chance of thunderstorms mainly east
of the Kansas, Colorado border. Isolated strong to severe storms are
possible. For Sunday, the trough remains in the area and with
slightly better instability in place, we could see another round of
isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms mainly east of
HWY 83.

Monday and Tuesday: A theta-e axis will be in place, stretched from
southwest to northeast across the CWA. CAPE remains modest with
relatively weak shear both in the 0-1 km and 0-6 km layers. Strong
to severe storms are a possibility during the late afternoon and
evening mainly along and east of this boundary; however, coverage
will likely be limited. Good instability will be in place Tuesday
but with little in the way of forcing or shear, thunderstorm
development is not expected.

Wednesday and Thursday: A relatively strong shortwave will move
across the region with an associated theta-e boundary and CAPE axis.
Will need to monitor this closely for consistency in the upcoming
days as more widespread thunderstorm development would be expected
with this scenario.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 539 PM MDT Thu Aug 17 2017

VFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. A broken line of storms will
move east across the forecast area. Not very confident KGLD will
have storms close enough to warrant a mention. However KMCK will
have the line move through. Did not have the storms in a
prevailing group due to the line not being very wide.  Otherwise
south winds will turn to the northwest Friday morning behind a
surface trough.
