Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
1115 PM MDT Thu Jun 9 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 257 PM MDT Thu Jun 9 2022

Across the Tri State region this afternoon, skies are partly to
mostly sunny as the area lies along a stationary boundary currently
draped mainly along the Colorado border. Temperatures are ranging
widely from the mid 70s to mid 80s. Winds are southerly with gusts
up to 30-35 mph at times.

For the remainder of the afternoon into the evening hours, the main
wx focus will be on the potential for another round of severe wx. As
of now, only northeast Colorado is currently under a severe
thunderstorm watch through 02z Friday, but KS/NE counties will most
likely be added later this afternoon.

Convection is firing up along a trough in eastern Colorado, moving
slowly east-southeast. As these storms form and move east, they will
shift from dewpts in 50s into an airmass with upper 50s to mid 60s
for dewpts. That increased moisture will aid to fuel any ongoing
convection today/tonight. Instability expected to produce storms
capable of producing large hail(at least 2 inches), and damaging
gusts (70mph plus). Shear along the front could also produce a
tornado or two. PW values at least an inch along and east of the
Colorado border could also produce storms with heavy rainfall
potential and thus flash flooding, albeit localized.

Latest CAMs still showing a bit of timing difference, especially
into KS/NE, but by 00z Friday, storms should be in place. From 00z-
06z Friday, storms/precip expected to wane from west to east, along
for the region to dry out ahead of an upper ridge currently over the
central Rockies. This ridge shifts east into the Plains, cresting
over the upcoming weekend. Overall, dry weather is anticipated, but
a weak shortwave on Saturday evening in Colorado, could bring a low
chance for an isolated rw/trw. Have allowed for a 15-20 pop to be
mentioned at this time, but confidence is low.

For temps, highs in the mid to upper 80s on Friday will give way to
much hotter numbers with a range in the upper 90s to around 100F for
Saturday. Lows during this time will have 50s tonight give way to
mainly 60s for Friday and Saturday nights.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 235 PM MDT Thu Jun 9 2022

The latest GFS/ECMWF continue to show a broad upper ridge over the
central Plains on Sunday, shifting east of the area on Monday. This
will allow for zonal flow to transition to southwest flow aloft.
Tuesday into Wednesday, southwest flow aloft remains ahead of a
shortwave passage, followed by an amplified ridge building back over
the Plains for the latter portion of the week.

At the surface, lee-side troughing over the Front Range Sunday and
Tuesday afternoons/evenings will move east in tandem with weak 700
mb shortwaves moving through the upper ridge. Looking for a chance
for showers and thunderstorms to occur. Best chance on Sunday will
be north of the Interstate, and over the entire CWA Tuesday.

South-southwest flow over the area on Sunday and Monday, combined
with the west-southwest flow aloft and 850 mb temps reaching +30c
plus will bring in near record, above normal temperatures. The same
could happen later in the week as the second upper ridge builds back
over the Plains. Gusts 30-40 mph are possible on Monday.

Overall, other than the 2 previous precipitation chances, the
extended forecast is mainly dry.

For temps, above normal numbers are expected as highs on Sunday will
range from the mid 90s to around 100F. Even hotter on Monday with
most locales seeing the 100 degree mark or higher. Only the far
western portions of our northeast Colorado counties will see mid to
upper 90s. These temperatures will come close to or break records.
Please refer to the Climate section below for further information.
Going into Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly 80s with a few 90s, but by
next Thursday, all locales are back into the 90s.

Low temperatures in the extended will have mainly 60s and lower 70s
Sunday and Monday nights. Slightly cooler Tuesday night with a wide
range from the upper 40s to upper 50s, 50s by Wednesday night then
60s for Thursday night.
