Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
608 PM MDT Tue Aug 1 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 556 PM MDT Tue Aug 1 2017

Despite the well defined line of storms moving south toward the
forecast area, confidence is low that storms will last long once
they move into the northern counties. Latest data continues to
indicate the storms ending as they move south into the forecast
area; the question is how quickly will they end. By the time the
storms get to Highway 36, they should be dissipating if not
already coming to an end. Have low confidence of storms surviving
once they move past Highway 36 due to lift ending and 700-600mb
theta-e lowering. Storms should be done before midnight.

So far have only seen a wind gust up to 40 MPH from Ogallala as
the storms moved through. While quarter size hail cannot be
completely ruled out, the main threat with these storms will be
wind gusts; possibly as high as 55 MPH but more likely around the
40-50 MPH range.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 245 PM MDT Tue Aug 1 2017

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain possible across much of
the area through mid to late evening both across the north and
south where weather disturbances are forecast to move through or
are presently in the area. With very dry air above the low level
moisture storms are not expected to be severe but could produce
rather gusty winds given DCAPE values over 1000 J/KG. Low
temperatures near normal with mid 50s to low 60s.

On Wednesday the day should start out sunny with a slow increase in
clouds across the north as a cold front approaches. May see
thunderstorms develop late in the afternoon with the cold front.
850mb temperatures warm another 2-5F from todays forecast values
supporting mid 80s to low 90s for high temperatures.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 159 PM MDT Tue Aug 1 2017

During the extended period there will be a persistent upper level
northwest flow over the Tri-State region. This pattern supports
chances for precipitation each day. Current guidance has continued
chances for precipitation Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
The remainder of the day on Thursday is expected to be dry, the
reason for this is due to dry air over the region from a cold
frontal passage Wednesday night.

Come Friday, chances for strong to severe storms are possible.
Models are showing a stronger signal in the mid to late evening
hours for any severe weather. There is a fair amount of CAPE and
bulk shear, and those along with the passage of a shortwave will
increase chances for storm development. Over the past few days the
pattern for Friday has changed, so it will continue to be monitored
to get a better idea on what will occur.

Saturday through Tuesday will see continuous waves of precipitation
moving over the region. This is due to the northwest flow aloft and
shortwaves moving over the region.

Temperatures during the period will start off much cooler in the low
70s to low 80s on Thursday due to the passage of the cold front.
Friday through Tuesday will average in the 80s.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 531 PM MDT Tue Aug 1 2017

VFR conditions expected for the TAFs. Main issue will be if or
when the storms will impact KMCK this evening. Latest data
indicates the storms moving south will fall apart as they cross
into Hitchcock and Red Willow counties. For this reason have a
VCTS mention due to uncertainty the storms will move over KMCK.
Have even less confidence that storms will move near KGLD.
Otherwise the next chance for storms will not be until closer to
0z Wednesday afternoon.
