Area forecast discussion, May 26, 6:39 AM CDT, 5 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 539 AM MDT Wed May 26 2021 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Friday night) Issued at 311 AM MDT Wed May 26 2021 A few showers have developed in Eastern Colorado this morning. These showers are expected to lift to the north and out of the area through the morning. Southwest flow aloft will be in place over the Central High Plains for much of the day with an upper low to the northwest of the area. Through the day, a mid-level, shortwave trough will move into Central and Eastern Colorado and a dryline will be situated to the south of the area over portions of Texas. A boundary will be set up over the Tri-State area this afternoon and the overall environment will become more unstable through the afternoon. There is still some uncertainty as to the timing of the onset of showers and storms this afternoon, although the best chance appears to be after 21Z. All modes of severe weather are expected this afternoon and into tonight as storms move across the region. Due to recent rainfall within the forecast area, precipitable water values of over 1 inch and moisture advecting into the region, there remains concern that any storms producing heavy rainfall could cause some issues with flash flooding. Cooler temperatures and quieter conditions are expected Thursday as the trough moves out of the region and a cold front moves through. High temperatures will range from the low 70s in the northeastern part of the area to the upper 70s/low 80s in the southeastern part of the area. Lows Thursday night will be primarily in the mid-40s. Friday, a disturbance moves through to the south of the area. Most of the precipitation should stay to the south and west of the area, although the southwestern part of the CWA may get clipped with a few showers. Temperatures will be in the 70s for highs and range from the upper 40s to low 50s for lows. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 305 AM MDT Wed May 26 2021 The holiday weekend and the extended forecast looks active and wet across the Tri- State Region. Models have several upper level shortwaves moving across the region over the weekend into early next week. By 12Z Wednesday/21st an upper trough is across the Plains with an upper level ridge is across the west. At the surface...On Saturday a cold front is projected to be across ND southwest to western Nebraska and into northern Colorado. A surface low will be across northeast NM with a surface trough across eastern Colorado and a dry line across eastern NM/west TX region. On Sunday...the cold front is across NW MN southwest to central SD. It becomes stationary from central SD southwest into northern Colorado and southwest to southern NV. A surface low is across southern CO with dry line across eastern NM/west TX region. A surface trough is across eastern CO. On Monday a stationary boundary is projected to be across Central Nebraska southwest to central CO. A surface low across eastern CO with a warm front across western KS southeast to Central OK. By Tuesday a stationary boundary is projected to be across se Nebraska southwest to TX Panhandle region. Expect afternoon high temperatures to be below normal in the extended forecast due to the clouds and precipitation forecasted. Afternoon high temperatures in the lower 70s to lower 80s on Saturday. By Sunday afternoon high temperatures only projected to be in the middle 60s to middle 70s by Sunday and through Tuesday. By Wednesday expect temperatures to be a little warmer but mainly in the 70s. Again the extended looks active and wet and maintained plenty of precipitation chances. Concerned we may see more flooding potential across parts of the CWA. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 536 AM MDT Wed May 26 2021 VFR conditions are expected at KGLD and KMCK terminals through much of the forecast period. A few ongoing thunderstorms this morning may move into the vicinity of KGLD but omitted the mention for now due to low confidence. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to impact both terminals between 21Z and 05Z. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...AW LONG TERM...EH AVIATION...AW
