Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 8:07 PM CDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 707 PM MDT Mon Jun 3 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 321 PM MDT Mon Jun 3 2019 Main concern is another round of thunderstorms tonight. Even though the overall setup remains on the large scale, there are subtle differences that have/will increase the coverage of storms and the possibility of severe storms. Lift looks a little better with a weak shortwave trough and a left front quadrant of upper jet. This combined with the weak surface is providing weak but broad lift. Due to negative theta-e lapse rates, there should continue to be a good and rapid response to the lift. This can be seen in more widespread coverage seen on the radar. A watch has already been issued that covers our Colorado counties. The one thing that is still lacking is low effective shear, less than 30 knots. This can be seen in the storms already going from a discrete supercells to merging in to large liner clusters. There may be some hail but this is looking like damaging wind will be the main threat. That is also helped by Dcape between 1000-1500. Saying all that high resolution guidance is consistent in taking a large cluster through the northern half to two thirds of the area. With PWs 1 to 1.5 inches and somewhat slow movement, expect locally heavy rainfall to be a threat as well. The brunt of the precipitation will be this evening and end after midnight. For Tuesday/Tuesday night...A little more uncertainty with models having differences. Persistent closed upper low over the desert southwest is starting to move to the northeast during this period and the models differ in how they do that. It is uncertain how much lift in advance of this system there will be. At this time there looks to be low chance of the thunderstorms in the forecast for late in the afternoon into tonight. However there is potential for there to be more or even less coverage. No matter what there looks to be a marginal threat for severe thunderstorms. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 131 PM MDT Mon Jun 3 2019 At the start of the extended, the models are showing an upper-level closed low moving eastward from the Four Corners region towards and across the Texas Panhandle through Friday. Over the weekend, ridging will influence the local area on Saturday before a strong upper- level trough moves into the northern High Plains from the Pacific Northwest Sunday. With this pattern, expect showers and thunderstorms over the local area from Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon due the passing of the closed low to our south. Friday, slight chance of showers still exist, especially over east- central Colorado, as an upper-level troughs look to develop and move off the lee side of the Rocky Mountains and across the central High Plains. Friday night through Saturday, expect dry conditions as the local area will be under the influence of upper-level ridging. Saturday night through the rest of the period, expect showers and thunderstorms to return to the area during the evening Saturday and through Sunday as the upper-level trough passes across the northern High Plains. There are questions on how far the tail end of this trough will reach. As of now it does not look to have a significant impact and Monday looks to be dry; however, this could change if the trough digs deeper south than what the models are showing. Something we will keep an eye on. Temperature will mostly be in the lower 80s with the exception of Thursday (middle 70s) due to the passage of the closed low and Sunday/Monday (lower 70) due to the front associated with the upper- level trough moving across the northern High Plains. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 609 PM MDT Mon Jun 3 2019 Showers and storms are expected to impact the McCook and Goodland terminals this evening. Sub-VFR conditions will hang around until the showers and storms pass. Afterward VFR conditions are expected. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...BULLER LONG TERM...BW AVIATION...EV
