Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 6:28 PM MDT, 2 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 628 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night) Issued at 238 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 Forecast concern will be the continued periodic chances of thunderstorms and possible severe weather through the period. Satellite continues to show an amplified pattern from the Pacific into the western Atlantic. The upper low over the west looks to be weakening/filling at this time. Tonight...An interesting and complex forecast through tonight. Shortwave trough moving through southwest flow along. This is acting a moist low level air mass with good lapse rates aloft. As a result thunderstorms have developed along the front range of Colorado. Models are consistent in bringing those storms across eastern Colorado into our area late in the afternoon into early this evening. High resolution output has been consistent in developing this area of storms into a long line as it approaches our area. Yesterday models were bringing in a rather solid line. However they are developing breaks in the line and essentially is taking two areas of storms along the north, the most widespread area, and across the southern area. So using the consensus short term output have adjusted that the forecast to reflect. These storms do have a chance to be severe with damaging wind then large hail as the main threats. Moisture content remain rather high but storms will be moving at a faster clip today. So there should be locally heavy rainfall but do not expect this to cause in flash flood issues. Now this where this gets more complicated. Models end this band of storms around midnight. However, another shortwave trough and a left front quadrant of jet will be moving through later in the night. So was hesitant to end storms as fast as normal. So kept storms going through the night. Monday/Monday night...Due to secondary shortwave trough and jet lift mentioned, rainfall should last in the east during the morning. Then it should be quiet and dry until the afternoon. At that time a rather strong shortwave trough and left front quadrant of the upper jet move into the western portion of the area. These features then move through the rest of the area during the night. Instability is much higher along with negative theta-e lapse rates which should along a strong and rapid response to the lift coming through. Effective shear is at least 30 and maybe even as high as 40. So expect these storms to become severe. Area is not only outlooked as a slight risk but has been outlooked for significant hail and this makes sense. Locally heavy rainfall should also be an issue. Models vary on how warm they make tomorrows highs. Based on 850 mb temperature guidance and majority of the guidance being warmer, kept the warm high temperatures but tempered the warmup slightly. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 225 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 The extended forecast remains active as several disturbances move through the center of the nation, resulting in daily chances for precipitation. A closed upper low remains in place over Southern California at the start of the forecast period with a weak upper ridge over Missouri. The Tri-State area will be under southwest flow with a shortwave trough moving into the region. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening. Isolated strong to severe storms cannot be entirely ruled out as modest CAPE and bulk shear values are expected in the southeastern extent of the area. Temperatures will range from the mid to upper 80s for highs to the low 50s to low 60s for overnight lows. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible through Thursday morning as the upper low becomes an open wave and moves over the Oklahoma Panhandle. A surface low associated with the trough will skirt the southern edge of the forecast area Thursday and Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible both days in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures dip into the 70s on Thursday before returning to the 80s on Friday. Over the weekend, models are showing an upper low moving across south-central Canada with a front swinging south into the region. If this holds together, showers, thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures may be possible. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 603 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 This evening and overnight tonight, the terminals are expected to be impacted by sub-vfr conditions with passing thunderstorms. Went ahead and tried to time for Goodland, but McCook confidence is lower so held back on timing their conditions. Amendments will be issued and refined as storms get closer to the terminals and impacts become more certain. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...BULLER LONG TERM...AW AVIATION...EV
