Severe Thunderstorm Warning 330, NWS Goodland, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
446 PM MDT Wed Sep 11 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 311 PM MDT Wed Sep 11 2019

Looking aloft we see the 500mb closed low starting to tighten and
become a closed low by 21s centered over the Montana Wyoming
state line. At the surface we see the corresponding front making
it's way across the rockies as of 19 Z, with a stationary boundary
drifting diagonally from the Dundy/Hitchcock County, Nebraska
line to Stratton, Colorado.

As of 2:30 pm MT, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued until
10:00 PM MT. Threats expected will be large winds, damaging hail,
and a potential tornado or two. Convective parameters looked much
better, so confidence is now high on impacts to our northern CWA
counties. The cold front will pass late this evening, but winds
will continue to remain strong after the frontal passage.
Expecting winds to sit around 25 knots with large gusts.

Storms are expected to form individually then develop into a
bowing line later in the event.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 109 PM MDT Wed Sep 11 2019

A trough over the northern Midwest moves northeast into eastern
Canada Friday as a ridge moves over the northern Plains. With high
pressure over the southern U.S., almost zonal flow aloft sits
over the central Plains through Saturday. As a trough moves east
to the Canada/U.S. coastline, a ridge builds over the central U.S.
Sunday. The trough moves over the West Coast by Tuesday. By
Thursday, the trough moves over the Intermountain West with the
ridge over the eastern U.S.

Leeside troughing redevelops along the Front Range Saturday
continuing through the extended forecast period. High temperatures
in the lower 80s to 90s and lows in the lower 50s to upper 60s
are expected under dry conditions.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 445 PM MDT Wed Sep 11 2019

Thunderstorms will be possible at either terminal at the beginning
of the period (00-06Z), though the relative best chance will be at
the MCK terminal. Thereafter, VFR conditions are anticipated to
prevail through the remainder of the TAF period. Breezy southerly
winds (15-25 knots gusting to ~30 knots) will persist through this
evening, abruptly shifting to the WNW-NNW at 15-25 knots with
gusts to ~30 knots in the wake of a frontal passage around or
shortly after midnight MDT (~06Z). Breezy WNW-NW winds will
persist through the day Thursday.
