Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
938 AM MDT Mon May 28 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 930 AM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Just completed an update. Main change was to update pops to
account for ongoing thunderstorms which a lot of the output is
having trouble with. Used the Rap to address the short term
issues. Based on it and other current guidance I updated the pops
through the evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night)
Issued at 245 AM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Across the Tri State region this morning...skies are a partly to
mostly cloudy mix with temperatures currently ranging widely from
the mid 50s west up to the lower 70s in far eastern zones. Winds
are variable ranging from 5-10 mph.

Going into today...the main wx focus for the entire CWA will continue
to be the potential for severe wx. Upper low continues to meander
over the central Rockies with a lee-side trough remaining just
off the Front Range. Orientation of the trough will be negatively
tilted...allowing for SE flow to continue to bring moist air into
the region. Model instability ahead of the trough combined with
high dewpts and strong SE winds gusting 15-30 mph thru
tonight...will allow for thunderstorms to develop and become
severe.

With little movement of the trough from yesterday...combined with a
shortwave working off the upper low to interact with the trough
thru tonight...SPC has an Enhanced Risk for severe wx. Large hail
of at least 1-2"...winds 60+ mph and even a few tornadoes will
again accompany these storms for the area. PW values still range
from an inch to 1.50" and with training of storms expected...flash
flooding is likely...especially in areas where storms have worked
thru yesterday. As a result...WPC has the region in a Slight Risk
for Day 1 excessive rainfall.

Going into Tuesday...what remains of the trough/boundary over the CWA
shifts east into central KS...with the upper low moving into the
north central Plains. Enough instability remains over the CWA
during the day that some storm development will occur with the
possibility of some severe trw. SPC does have the area under a
Marginal Risk.

Wednesday into Wednesday night will see some trw activity over the
region as a shortwave works thru the region. At this time no
severe expected.

For temps...highs in the 80s today/Wednesday...with Tuesday seeing
a dip into the upper 70s to the lower 80s. Overnight lows will
range mainly in the 50s with some low 60s east. Cloud cover from
aforementioned trw activity will impact temps...especially during
the day.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 245 AM MDT Mon May 28 2018

This period of the forecast will be dry for the most part, except
for chances for rain Wednesday evening.

Wednesday an upper level short wave trough will deepen over the
forecast area in the late afternoon and the evening.  Models are
showing a deeper short wave trough than yesterday, giving more
confidence that rainfall will occur.  Am not expecting any severe
weather so far due to the dry line being south of the forecast area.

Thursday through Friday the upper level ridge will build back over
the forecast area, bringing dry weather and warmer temperatures.

Friday afternoon an upper level short wave trough will move across
the forecast area.  Meanwhile the dry line will be over the eastern
part of the forecast area.  As the short wave trough deepens over
the dry line in the evening storms may form.  If storms do form,
they may become severe.  If the dry line continues to move further
west into the forecast area severe weather will affect more of the
area.

A cold front will move through behind the short wave trough Friday
night.  The cooler weather will only last a day.  The warmer weather
will return Sunday as the ridge builds back over the Plains.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1215 AM MDT Mon May 28 2018

Expect variable winds at 10-15 knots overnight, becoming SE/SSE at
15-25 knots during the day Monday. VFR conditions will generally
prevail through ~18Z, however, scattered to widespread thunderstorms
are expected Monday afternoon/evening into Monday night.
