Area forecast discussion, May 28, 4:22 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 322 PM MDT Tue May 28 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 257 PM MDT Tue May 28 2019 The primary forecast concern from this afternoon through the overnight period is on the possibility of thunderstorms across the area. Another round of fog and low clouds overnight last night has set up a differential heating boundary across the southern part of the forecast area today. There is also a frontal boundary sweeping across the area today from west to east as a surface low pressure area moves out of southeast Colorado into western Kansas with the upper low further back over northeast Colorado expected to move over southwest Nebraska this evening. The SPC slight risk area highlights the area of better heating to the south combined with the cooler temperatures a loft to produce an area of instability that is coincident with the area of surface convergence. Expect an area of isolated to scattered thunderstorms across the forecast area with the possibility of severe storms extending from east central Colorado along the I-70 corridor into western Kansas from mid-afternoon through the evening hours. Also expect showers to linger into the late evening and overnight hours. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Tuesday) Issued at 238 PM MDT Tue May 28 2019 A closed low continues to lift northeastward through Thursday as a ridge builds in behind it over the central U.S. High pressure fills in across the western, central, and southeastern U.S. through Tuesday. Another closed low sets up over southern California by Friday night. This low weakens over the following days, shifting south and sitting over the Baja of California through Tuesday. At the surface, high pressure moves in over the Intermountain West and Plains through Saturday. A weak low could develop by Sunday on the Colorado/Kansas border along a stationary boundary. The boundary is expected to move out of the Tri-State region by Tuesday. Rain and thunderstorms are expected Friday, with chances returning Sunday through Monday night associated with the boundary. A warming trend is expected with the ridging that will be building over the central U.S. High temperatures are expected to increase from the upper 50s to 60s tomorrow into the 80s by Saturday. Low temperatures follow the same warming trend increasing from the 40s to 50s and lower 60s by Sunday night. The temperature forecast will likely increase over the coming days as models seem to be trending warmer. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1130 AM MDT Tue May 28 2019 At GLD, LIFR conditions with low ceilings and fog will transition through IFR to MVFR by 20Z and VFR by 22Z as showers and a few thunderstorms move through the area. Conditions will return to MVFR after 06Z as ceilings lower again following the passage of showers. VFR conditions are expected after 15Z as lower ceilings increase. MCK will see IFR conditions through 00Z with isolated showers and thunderstorms move through the area between 21Z-03Z. After 03Z MVFR conditions are expected to persist through the remainder of the TAF period. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE.
