Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
200 PM MDT Sat Aug 7 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 200 PM MDT Sat Aug 7 2021

Tonight...strong to severe thunderstorms are expected generally east
of the Colorado Kansas border this evening as a weather disturbance
moves off of the Palmer Divide and into the area this evening,
exiting the area before midnight. It appears that a line of storms
will develop along and south of the interstate with an east then
northeast movement. DCAPE values early this afternoon are in the
1500-1700 range and support the last few runs of the HRRR wind gust
forecast in excess of 75 mph. Hail up to the size of golf balls and
locally heavy rainfall will also be possible. Smoke will also be
possible for much of the night producing some reduced visibilities
and unhealthy air quality.

Sunday-Sunday night...a sunny sky is expected during the day with a
clear sky overnight. High temperatures are expected to be in the low
to upper 90s with low temperatures in the low to upper 60s.

Monday-Monday night...some mid and high level clouds move in during
the afternoon, moving east and out of the area during the night.
There is a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms near the
KS/NE border. High temperatures rise back into the mid 90s to around
102 degrees with low temperatures in the upper 50s to around 70.

Tuesday...an upper level trough moves across the northern plains
with its cold front moving through during the day. High temperatures
arent quite as hot as Monday with readings in the low to mid 90s.
No precipitation is currently expected.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 131 PM MDT Sat Aug 7 2021

The extended period continues to trend hot and dry for majority of
the period thanks to the ridge over much of the western CONUS. There
is concern for elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions
Wednesday and Thursday in the northwest corner of the area due to
low relative humidity values. The current forecast keeps the winds
peaking around 20 mph during the afternoon hours. Overnight lows
on Tuesday are expected to be in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
Temperatures appear to briefly increase in the middle of the week
with values in the 90s across much of the area and a few locales
along and west of US 83 approaching 100 degrees Wednesday.
Thursday is currently expected to be slightly warmer, ranging from
the mid 90s to 100 degrees. Overnight lows are forecast to remain
in the upper 50s to upper 60s both nights.

A cold front is expected to move south across the area Friday
morning. With the front, temperatures are expected to cool into the
upper 80s to lower 90s for afternoon highs. Behind the front,
guidance suggests a few weak disturbances will move across the High
Plains providing an opportunity for showers and storms to develop
Friday afternoon and continue through Saturday morning. This far out
confidence is not very high, so PoPs are less than 20%. Overnight
lows are expected to be in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Saturday, both
the GFS and ECMWF have a shortwave trough traveling along the edge
of the ridge, which will help strengthen a lee trough along the
Front Range. This could provide yet another opportunity for
showers/storms to develop off the Front Range and move across the
Tri-State area during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures
are currently forecast to be close to normal in the mid 80s to lower
90s for afternoon highs and the upper 50s to lower 60s overnight.
