Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Goodland KS
542 PM MDT Mon Sep 16 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Very warm and windy Tuesday with southerly winds gusting
  gusts 35 to 50 mph.

- Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms for parts of the area
  Tuesday. Beneficial rainfall Tuesday night.

- Next good chance for rainfall Friday night through Saturday
  night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 205 PM MDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Tonight...isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms (20%-30%)
will move across the area from the southwest through about midnight
with the better chance generally south of a line from Flagler to
Trenton. The primary hazards will be gusty outflow winds which may
produce some blowing dust through about 01z to 02z. Low temperatures
are forecast to be in the middle 50s to upper 60s.

Tuesday-Tuesday night...a closed upper level low over Nevada in the
morning is forecast to become negatively tilted as it lifts into
Idaho by the end of the day, continuing northeast into eastern
Montana by 12z Wednesday. A strong surface pressure gradient will
result in southerly winds gusting in the 35 to 50 mph range during
the day, decreasing slowly overnight.

A more significant weather system ejects from the parent upper level
low, reaching far eastern Colorado around 18z, continuing slowly
east through all but Norton/Graham counties during the afternoon.
Overnight, this system continues moving east with drier air moving
in behind. Rainfall chances are currently forecast to be in the 20%-
50% range during the day, 50%-70% range overnight.

High temperatures remain above normal in the upper 80s to lower 90s
with low temperatures in the upper 40s to middle 60s.

Wednesday-Wednesday night...the forecast area remains under
southwest flow aloft, in between low pressure systems over Montana
and southwest California and ridging to our east. Drier air moves
into the area from the west, shutting down any chances for rainfall.
High temperatures will be in the middle 80s to lower 90s with low
temperatures in the lower 50s to middle 60s.

Thursday-Thursday night...the forecast area remains under southwest
flow aloft, in between an upper level trough west of the Continental
Divide and high pressure over Texas. A lack of moisture will prevent
any shower or thunderstorm chances. High temperatures remain
above normal in the middle 80s to lower 90s with low
temperatures in the lower 50s to middle 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 200 PM MDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Upper low in the Four Corners to start the period on Friday will
move into the central Rockies on Saturday and into the central
plains on Sunday. Northwest flow will then follow for early
next week on the back side of the system as it lifts into the
northern plains.

Precipitation chances Friday through Sunday will be the primary
forecast concern. Will start with southwest flow on Friday ahead
of the main system. Embedded waves and a frontal boundary will
combine for scattered showers and storms. Best moisture and
instability look to stay just southeast of the area, with more
of a dry southwest flow further north. If that holds, severe
chances will be low due to limited instability, though wind may
still be a concern with the high based storms. Cold front moves
through Friday night through Saturday morning (the usual timing
differences in the models), but by mid day Saturday should see a
post frontal regime across the area with breezy northeast winds.
Main upper low will move out of the Rockies Saturday afternoon
or Saturday night, accompanied by good chances for
rain/isolated thunderstorms. Severe storms not expected due to
the cooler/stable conditions. However, some signals in the
models for locally heavy rainfall, but exactly where the best
chances will occur uncertain due to the model differences in
track, strength and timing of the system. Precipitation chances
may linger well into Sunday depending on how fast the system
lifts out. A dry northwest flow will follow on Monday.

Temperatures remain above normal on Friday with upper 80s to
lower 90s. Quite a large range in temperatures in the models
for Saturday through Monday, with the ECMWF slower/warmer
overall compared to the wetter/cooler GFS solution. The blended
forecast essentially yields temperatures near normal, with highs
in the 70s to lower 80s and lows in the 40s and 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 531 PM MDT Mon Sep 16 2024

KGLD...VFR conditions are expected through the period. Southerly
to southwesterly winds gusting 25-35 kts are anticipated
throughout the TAF period. After a brief decline to ~25 kts
between 03-12Z, southerly winds quickly increase after sunrise
with gusts up to 35 kts returning. Presently, scattered showers
will be possible near/over the terminal in the 00z-02z
timeframe. The primary hazard will be strong wind gusts,
potentially severe, along with local blowing dust that could
produce reductions in visibility. Should this occur, sub VFR
cigs and vis would be likely.

KMCK...VFR conditions are expected through the period. Southerly
winds gusting up to 35kts are anticipated from taf issuance
through majority of the period. A brief decrease to 25-30 kts is
expected from ~02-16Z with southerly winds quickly increasing
mid-morning with gusts up to 35kts through the afternoon
tomorrow. Presently, showers/thunderstorms will be possible
near/over the terminal in the 00z-02z timeframe with gusty
winds the primary hazard.
