Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
152 AM MDT Thu Oct 12 2023
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 115 PM MDT Wed Oct 11 2023
Scattered storms in Colorado this afternoon will weaken as they
move east this evening, but cannot rule out a sporadic stronger
wind gust as they decay after sunset. Best chances for any
measurable precipitation or wind will be north of Interstate 70.
Showers will lift into Nebraska after 06z. Otherwise expecting
partly cloudy skies and lows in the 40s and 50s.
Upper low will cut off over northeast Colorado Thursday morning,
drift east along the Kansas-Nebraska border during the day before
lifting into central Nebraska Thursday night. This system will
bring a variety of possible hazards to the area during that time.
Ahead of the upper low on Thursday, westerly winds gusting up to
45 mph will develop, mainly south of Interstate 70. These
downsloping winds will also bring much drier air into the region
from the west. Both the NAM and HRRR tank dew points into the
teens and 20s as early as 16z in western areas, spreading eastward
in the afternoon. As a result of the wind and low humidity, issued
a Fire Weather Watch for those areas. Precipitation will initially
be rather isolated in the morning, but scattered showers and
thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon with surface heating.
Moisture will be very limited with the dry line well to the east,
but a few stronger stronger high based storms will be capable of
producing wind gusts in excess of 50 mph. Given the proximity to
the closed upper low, cannot rule out a few funnels or brief weak
tornadoes either. The strong northerly winds will begin to wrap
around the low Thursday night, first in western areas during the
evening hours then the remainder of the area late Thursday night
through Friday afternoon. Both the GFS and ECMWF are showing wind
gusts in the 50-55 mph range during those times. Since those winds
are marginal for meeting high wind criteria, will leave the High
Wind Watch as it is and not upgrade at this time.
Friday will be windy with gradually clearing skies. Wind speeds
gradually decrease in the afternoon from west to east as the low
lifts out. Temperatures will struggle to reach the low to mid 50s,
and if clouds hang on at all may only see upper 40s. For Friday
night, some indications that wraparound cloud cover may move into
northern areas during the night. If that happens, lows will not
reach their potential and may only see mid to upper 30s there.
Further south and west, less clouds and lighter winds should allow
for radiational cooling and lows still forecast in the mid to
upper 20s west of Highway 27. Potential for cloud cover has
lowered confidence a bit and decided not to issue a Freeze Watch
for now. Only western areas are still susceptible to freezes,
since eastern areas had a hard freeze last weekend.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 151 AM MDT Thu Oct 12 2023
For the long term period, fairly benign conditions are forecasted
short of freezing low temperatures over the weekend and a
disturbance around the mid part of next week.
For the weekend, cold mornings with low temperatures below freezing
are forecasted as winds lower, skies clear and the cold/dry air with
the low pressure system linger over the area. High temperatures are
also forecasted to be fairly cool in the 50's and 60's.
Going into next week, an upper ridge is forecasted to influence the
area and help temperatures warm to above average. Current forecasted
highs are in the upper 60's and 70's with 80's possible Tuesday and
Wednesday. Dry conditions should prevail across the area during this
time.
Around Wednesday, an upper trough is forecasted to move across the
Plains. Hazards and timing is unclear at this point, but it would
likely cool the area back to near average temperatures and provide
some chances for rain with a surface low and cold front moving
through.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1030 PM MDT Wed Oct 11 2023
GLD: VFR conditions will prevail tonight.. and through most of
the day on Thursday. MVFR ceilings are anticipated to rapidly
develop near the end of the TAF period (00-06Z Friday). Light and
variable winds will prevail overnight.. as a low pressure system
in Colorado progresses ENE-NE over far northwest KS and southwest
NE. Winds will shift to the W-WNW at 10-20 knots late Thu morning
and early Thu afternoon -- as the aforementioned low progresses
eastward into central Kansas/Nebraska -- strengthening to 25-35
knots during the late afternoon. Winds will veer to the WNW-NW and
further strengthen to 30-45 knots Thu evening (00-03Z Fri) and
persist well into the day on Friday.
MCK: While VFR conditions will prevail through the (00Z) TAF
period.. MVFR ceilings are anticipated to rapidly develop near the
end of the TAF period (00-06Z Friday). S to SE winds at 10-20
knots this eve will become variable late tonight.. as a low
pressure system in Colorado progresses ENE-NE over far northwest
KS and southwest NE. Winds will shift to the W at 10-15 knots late
Thu morning / early Thu afternoon. A considerable amount of
uncertainty exists with regard to wind speed/direction mid-late
Thu afternoon. Winds could range anywhere from light/variable to W
at 20-30 knots.. depending on the track/evolution of the low
pressure system. Either way, by the end of the TAF period (00-06Z
Fri), winds will shift to the NW and strengthen to 30-40 knots
and persist well into the day on Friday.
