Area forecast discussion, May 27, 12:51 AM CDT, 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 1151 PM MDT Wed May 26 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1150 PM MDT Wed May 26 2021 Thunderstorms have moved out of the area, therefore the Tornado Watch has been cancelled. There are a few storms to the north of the area that will move into Hitchcock and Red Willow counties later this evening. Will continue to monitor these storms as they move into the area and potentially interact with a boundary. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night) Issued at 300 PM MDT Wed May 26 2021 Tonight...the combination of sufficient moisture in the 850-700mb layer along a subtle wind shift line from roughly Yuma to Burlington and Tribune may act as a focus for initiation for our next round of showers and thunderstorms early this evening. By 03z thunderstorm activity should be east of a line from Yuma to Colby and Oakley and by 06z extend from Trenton to Hill City east. Thunderstorm activity should be just east of the forecast area a few hours after midnight with dry conditions for the remainder of the night. All modes of severe weather are possible. With precipitable water values as high as 1.5-1.7 inches locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will be possible. Low temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 40s to around 60. Thursday-Thursday night...a cold front moves through the area during the day with a 1025mb surface high nosing into the area from the northeast during the night. North to northwest winds gusting up to 35 mph are expected through the day with decreasing winds during the night. There is a slim chance for a thunderstorm or two across southwest Cheyenne county CO in the evening as some mid level moisture moves in from the northwest. High temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 70s. Low temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 40s. Friday-Friday night...dry conditions are expected. 850mb temperatures warm a few degrees across the western CWA where some short wave ridging moves in ahead of a larger upper level low centered north of Montana. Southerly winds slowly increase through the day with gusts up to 35 mph possible. High temperatures are expected to be in the low to upper 70s. Low temperatures fall into the mid 40s to low 50s. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 300 PM MDT Wed May 26 2021 Saturday...thunderstorm chances increase in the afternoon with a high probability of precipitation during the night as a subtle upper trough moves through from the west. Locally heavy rainfall is expected and flash flooding cannot be ruled out. High temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 70s with low temperatures in the lower 50s. Sunday...precipitation chances remain fairly high as weather disturbances periodically move through the area in west to northwest flow aloft. High temperatures should reach the mid 60s to near 70 with low temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Monday...good chances for additional precipitation continue during the day before some drier air aloft moves in from the northwest as an upper trough starts to move away from the area. High temperatures remain cool for this time of year in the low 60s to near 70. Low temperatures are expected to be in the mid 40s to low 50s. Tuesday...will need to maintain low chances for thunderstorms as another weather system moves in from the northwest. High temperatures look to be in the mid 60s to low 70s with low temperatures in the mid 40s to low 50s. Wednesday...a large upper trough moves across the area and will be supportive of continued chances for showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures warm back into the low to mid 70s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1132 PM MDT Wed May 26 2021 VFR conditions will persist at KGLD terminal through the forecast period with a brief period of MVFR ceilings at KMCK terminal between 11 and 13Z. Winds will shift from easterly to northerly as a front moves through the area after 12Z. Winds will increase to around 15- 20kts at both sites around 14Z with gusts to 25-30kts. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE.
