Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 1:45 PM MDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 145 PM MDT Wed Jun 3 2020 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 145 PM MDT Wed Jun 3 2020 Tonight...strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to continue moving east-southeast through early evening before losing their severity and eventually dissipating a few hours after midnight. Low temperatures are expected to be in the mid 50s to low 60s. Thursday-Thursday night...there is a slight chance for late afternoon and evening thunderstorms as another weather disturbance moves through under northwest flow aloft. Areal coverage appears to be much less compared to the past few days but we continue to advertise that severe storms are possible. High temperatures are expected to be in the low 90s to near 100. Low temperatures are expected to fall into the mid 50s to mid 60s. Friday...at present time it appears that we'll be thunderstorm free during the day but will have to watch the far western/northwest fringes closely as GFS advertising another disturbance approaching per 700-500mb relative humidity. High temperatures reach the mid 90s to around 100. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Wednesday) Issued at 1254 PM MDT Wed Jun 3 2020 For this extended discussion the same pattern continues. An upper- level ridge building over the High Plains with an upper-level close low over the SOCAL coast. This low will move up the west side of the ridge and become an open wave by the time it reached the top of the axis. Later in the period, the ridge will move eastward while a trough moves into the Rockies from the PACNORWEST and bring with it an associated surface front that looks to impact the area on Monday night through Tuesday. So this pattern will produce temperatures above normal Saturday through Monday (Middle to upper 90s) with a slight chances of afternoon and evening thunderstorms associated with open wave within the southwestern flow on the western side of the ridge. Followed by a chance of precipitation Monday night into Tuesday with the front passing through the area. Behind the front, Tuesday and Wednesday will see temps closer to normal (upper 70s to lower 80s). && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1050 AM MDT Wed Jun 3 2020 For KGLD and KMCK, vfr conditions are expected through the period outside of any convection. Winds outside of any convection are expected to be below 12kts and will be variable in direction through the next 24 hours. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible at KGLD in the 22z-00z timeframe and KMCK in the 00z-03z timeframe. Primary hazards will be outflow wind gusts over 50kts, large hail, locally heavy rainfall and a small threat for blowing dust due to the strong outflow. Any of these hazards could produce sub vfr conditions. At this time have a VCTS mention until confidence increases in specific timing and hazard of a thunderstorm impacting either terminal. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...99 LONG TERM...BW AVIATION...99
