Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
556 PM MDT Sun Jul 22 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Monday night)
Issued at 215 PM MDT Sun Jul 22 2018

Overview: The Tri-State area remains situated on the N/NE
periphery of an upper level ridge (centered invof New Mexico) at
the southern fringe of W-NW flow aloft. Forecast considerations
and expectations are essentially the same as yesterday.

Today-Tonight: Small amplitude perturbations on/near the
tropopause (150-175 mb level) will continue to round the northern
periphery of the ridge from the Desert SW/4-Corners region into
portions of the Rockies and High Plains this afternoon through
tonight -- though the influence of these high altitude waves
cannot be ascertained with much confidence -- and mid-level
features (e.g. MCVs) generated by persistent upstream convection
are more likely to influence convective evolution. Low-level
forcing will remain confined to shallow convergence invof a weak
SFC-H85 trough in the lee of the Rockies. 18Z HRRR and 12Z NAM
NEST simulated reflectivity forecasts suggest a familiar scenario
in which scattered upstream convection grows upscale into loosely
organized clusters that slowly propagate E/SE into eastern CO and
far western KS this evening (00-08Z). Effective deep-layer shear
on the order of 25-30 knots, moderate MLCAPE (1000-2000 J/kg) and
weak forcing suggest organization will primarily be multicellular
in nature. A few storms will be capable of producing brief/sporadic
downbursts in eastern CO between 6-10 pm MDT. Locally heavy
rainfall and isolated flash flooding will certainly remain
possible (primarily in eastern CO) given weak steering flow
and above normal PWAT values (1.2" to 1.4"). Expect convection to
wane by midnight -- though there is a slim chance that upstream
convection in SD/NE may propagate southward into portions of
north-central and northwest KS between 08-15Z Monday morning.

Monday-Monday night: There will be relatively little change in
the synoptic pattern, however, with ongoing convection possible
(perhaps likely) over and upstream of the Tri-State area Monday
morning, confidence remains very low w/regard to convective
evolution Monday aft/eve into Monday night.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 116 PM MDT Sun Jul 22 2018

Upper high pressure remains centered over the Four Corners region on
Tuesday with ridging across the western half of the country. To the
east, a trough stretches over the eastern CONUS, placing the High
Plains under northwest flow aloft. Meanwhile, an upper closed low
spins over south central Canada. Throughout the day, surface high
pressure slides east of the High Plains, allowing moisture to filter
back into the area. This enables thunderstorm chances to return to
the forecast Tuesday night as a shortwave passes through.

A cold front enters the High Plains midweek and stalls, providing a
focus for storm development. As the week progresses, the upper low
in Canada pushes southeast into the Upper Midwest and ridging
retrogrades towards the west coast. Northwest flow prevails through
the end of the weekend, and multiple disturbances generate shower
and thunderstorm chances throughout the remainder of the long term
period.

Overall, wet and cooler conditions are anticipated with ample
moisture in place. Will definitely need to keep an eye on the
potential for heavy rainfall during this timeframe. High
temperatures rise from the 80s on Tuesday to the upper 80s/low 90s
on Wednesday before falling into the upper 70s/low 80s on Thursday
and Friday. The weekend looks a tad warmer with highs in the 80s
across the region. Low temperatures range from the upper 50s to mid
60s throughout the period.
