Severe Thunderstorm Warning 202, NWS Goodland, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
433 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tonight)
Issued at 214 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

Dewpoint coverage has been abnormal for the region with higher
dewpoints over our western coverage area and higher elevation areas.
Lower dewpoints have been observed in our lower areas to the
east. The drier air in these areas will help to reduce the threat
of any severe potential the further east you go in the CWA.

Visible satellite shows convective cumulus over northeastern Colorado and
extreme northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska this
afternoon. A few isolated strong to severe storms will be possible
this afternoon into this evening with the best chance for any
severe storms being in northeastern Colorado. Current MLCAPE
values range from 1500-2000 J/kg in the region with lower values
and CIN just to the east, across the border into Kansas and
Nebraska. DCAPE values range from 1400-1500 J/kg and EBWD values
are around 40+ kts. Any storms that do fire off in northeastern
Colorado will have the potential for large hail, and some strong
wind gusts, in addition to localized heavy rainfall. The extent of
the severe coverage will remain in northeastern Colorado.

Going into the overnight hours, any remaining storms will push
mainly to the south.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Monday)
Issued at 115 PM MDT Mon Jul 29 2019

Overview: A pronounced upper level ridge will prevail over the
central/southern Rockies and High Plains through the upcoming
weekend.

Tue-Wed: With a pronounced ridge in close proximity to the Tri-
State area, expect predominately dry conditions and above normal
temperatures, with highs ranging from the mid 90s to lower 100s.
Although isolated diurnal convection cannot be ruled out in
eastern Colorado during the late afternoon and evening hours on
either day -- activity may largely be confined to the Colorado
Front Range (along/west of I-25).

Thu-Mon: Ridging aloft will persist over the central/southern
Rockies and High Plains through the remainder of the long term
period. With the mid-latitude westerlies generally confined to
higher latitudes (WY/NE/SD/ND), expect near-normal to above normal
temperatures and predominately dry conditions. Isolated diurnal
convection will be possible during the late afternoon and evening
hours each day in eastern Colorado, though the majority of
activity may be confined to the Colorado Front Range (along/west
of I-25). Small amplitude waves on the southern fringe of the
westerlies and/or mesoscale features emanating from upstream
convection may alter convective evolution on any given day,
however, such features cannot be resolved with much (if any)
confidence at this range.
