Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 6:14 PM CDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 514 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 135 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 Today we will see another hot day, with temperatures above normal. Tomorrow this is expected to drop a couple of degrees, but daily highs will remain in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Looking aloft the ridge that prevailed over the area this past weekend, has further relaxed and weakened. Although we do still have decent moisture, we are lacking forcing and with deep-layer shear progressively lower the further south you go in our area. This will inhibit our ability to generate convection. So, with that stated, chances of showers and storms this afternoon have decreased, but still cannot rule out an isolated severe storm or two this evening. Expected threats include hail and strong winds. SPC has taken our CWA from a slight risk down to marginal across the area. Expecting weak multicellular clusters of storms, similar to what we have seen the past couple of evenings. Tonight, not expecting any weather, but overnight lows will drop into the 60s. Similar story for tomorrow, with an even lower chance for storms. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 251 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 At the start of the forecast period, a broad upper ridge will extend across the Central High Plains with southwest flow aloft over the Tri- State area. An upper trough centered over southern Washington and northern Oregon will give the region a chance for daily showers and thunderstorms as several disturbances are pushed into the region. Tuesday evening, a shortwave trough will progress east, bringing a chance for a few isolated showers and thunderstorms to the region. 700-500mb lapse rates are marginal as are CAPE values. At this point in time, am not anticipating severe weather across the forecast area. Temperatures will range in the mid-80s to mid-90s for highs and the upper 50s in northeastern Colorado to the low 70s in Kansas for lows. A mid-level shortwave will enter the region, bringing a chance of a few showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Storms are expected to kick off along a boundary around the Kansas-Colorado border. With MLCAPE values of 2000+ J/kg, SBCAPE values of 2000+ J/kg, 700-500mb lapse rates potentially ranging from 7-8 C/km, and the boundary, cannot entirely rule out a few strong to severe storms. Independence Day, the upper trough over the northwestern CONUS will slowly progress eastward, kicking another shortwave trough into the region. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Temperatures will range from the upper 80s to mid-90s for highs and upper 50s in northeastern Colorado to the lower 70s in Kansas. The remainder of the forecast, the upper trough will deamplify as it moves east, over the Dakotas. Several shortwaves will move through the area during this time. A few showers and thunderstorms cannot be entirely ruled out. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 512 PM MDT Mon Jul 1 2019 Thunderstorms will continue early this evening at both KGLD and KMCK along a stalled out frontal boundary. Heavy rain, brief gusty winds and small hail will be possible at both terminals. Thunderstorms will end by 02-03z this evening, with VFR expected thereafter through the remainder of the TAF period. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...EV LONG TERM...AW AVIATION...024
