Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
304 PM MDT Tue Jun 1 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 301 PM MDT Tue Jun 1 2021

At the start of the short term period, the CWA is underneath the
base of an upper air trough with an eastward moving upper air ridge
over the western CONUS. At the surface, there is a chance for
isolated rain showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening
hours starting in the western portions of the CWA. Storms that
develop in the far western areas of the CWA have a chance to
become severe as model forecast show some instability with CAPE
values between 1000-1500 J/kg and 0-6km bulk shear around 40 kts.
Possible storm threats look to be large hail up to one inch and
strong wind gusts up to 60 mph. Remainder of the day temperatures
look to be in the upper 60s to lower 70s with light and variable
winds across the CWA.

On Tuesday night, the flow over the CWA looks to turn more northerly
after midnight as the front edge of the upper air ridge makes its
way over the CWA with the trough moving just to the east.
Precipitation chances continue overnight though the severe
thunderstorm threat should pass by the late evening. The coverage
area looks to move more to the areas south of I-70 and taper off
after midnight. Current QPF values with Tuesday's precipitation look
to be around a quarter of an inch in the southwestern portion of the
CWA and lower in outlying areas. Overnight lows look to be between
the middle 40s and lower 50s.

On Tuesday, forecast guidance shows the ridge continuing to move
slowly eastward over the CWA changing the flow aloft more north-
northeasterly. At the surface, the eastern portion of the CWA sees
a chance of patchy fog during the morning hours that could lower
visibilities. After the fog lifts, the far eastern portions see a
slight chance for isolated light rain showers during the afternoon
hours though minimal precipitation accumulation is expected with
these showers. High temperatures on Wednesday looks to continue
the warming trend as they range between the middle to upper 70s
with overnight lows ranging in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 239 PM MDT Tue Jun 1 2021

For this long-term forecast package, a relatively quiet period of
weather can be anticipated from Thursday into the weekend. This is
due to a large ridge of high pressure forming over the western
United States. This will leave the High Plains under the influence
of surface high pressure, with any thunderstorm producing shortwave
troughs passing well to the northern of the area, over Canada
instead. This weather pattern will result in very warm temperatures,
perhaps getting into the 90s this weekend, and dry weather. Persist
south winds should allow some dewpoints in the 60s as well, leading
to a more humid weekend. Overall, this weekend looks to bring the
hottest temperatures of the year so far, and perhaps our first dose
of summer weather.

By the end of the weekend and into next week, the ridge of high
pressure over the western US will begin breaking down. A trough of
low pressure will instead replace the ridge. Models are in some
disagreement about what to do with this trough, in terms of how
quickly to move it towards the Plains. Feel comfortable in saying
that thunderstorm chances will increase once again as we go into
next week, but when that'll be is precisely is hard to say. It is
possible though that a shortwave trough moves out ahead of the main
system, most likely Monday evening, and this is likely when severe
weather chances would be highest for this forecast period. Warm
weather looks to persist with south winds dominating the flow, and
could actually have breezy to wind conditions with the warmth and
dry weather. If you are a farmer and looking to have the fields dry
out some, the next 5-7 days look good for you.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1141 AM MDT Tue Jun 1 2021

chance for thunderstorms to be seen in the vicinity of KGLD that

period. Around 10Z, visibility expects to drop to around 3SM
causing MVFR conditions until around 13Z when VFR conditions
