Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 1:24 PM MST, 3 hours 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 224 PM MDT WED JUN 13 2001 FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE AREAS OF SVR TONIGHT AND CHANCES OF POPS TOMORROW. MODELS AREA ALL HAVING DIFFERING PROBLEM AREAS IN INITIALIZATION AND TRACKING OF FEATURES OUT TO 18Z. THE AVN IS DOING A SLIGHTLY BETTER JOB TRACKING VORT FEATURES IN THE WEST...WHILE THE ETA IS HANDLING BL MOISTURE MUCH BETTER WITH THE NGM A CLOSE SECOND. THE ETA IS CLOSE WITH POSITION OF SFC LOW IN SE CO...BUT IS TOO DEEP. WITH MOISTURE BEING THE MORE IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THIS SCENARIO...WILL GO MORE HEAVILY TOWARDS THE ETA FOR THIS PACKAGE. TONIGHT CONVECTION FIRES UP ALONG STALLED COLD FRONT DRAPED ALONG EASTERN EDGE OF CWA. BEST CAPE LIES ALONG AND EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY...WITH GOOD 0-6KM SHEAR OF GREATER THAN 80KTS. INSTABILITY DROPS OFF SHARPLY BEHIND...SO WILL KEEP MENTION OF POSSIBLE SVR CONFINED TO THIS AREA. VERY GOOD DYNAMICS EXIST BEHIND FRONT WITH UPGLIDE AND H7 OMEGA VALUES IN EXCESS OF 20. HOWEVER...BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE CONVECTIVE INTERCEPTION...SO WILL NOT GO ABOVE GUIDANCE ON POPS. STRONG BL WINDS OF 30 KTS ENTER BEHIND SW PASSAGE. WITH NIGHT TIMING OF WINDS...WILL NOT GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY. AREA IS GRAZED BY LEFT FRONT OF 100KT JET TOMORROW MORNING...SO EVEN WITH MOSTLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL KEEP SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS. WEAK RIDGE BUILD INTO AREA BY FRIDAY....AND WITH SW WINDS WILL GO SLIGHTLY ABOVE ETA AND AVN H7 SUPPORTED TEMPS...WHICH ARE A LITTLE BELOW FWC TEMPS. IN THE EXTENDED... MODELS IN ROUGH AGREEMENT WITH MAJOR FEATURES...WITH SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES. THE ECMWF IS MORE AMPLIFIED WITH RIDGE OVER ROCKIES AND LOW IN THE ATLANTIC THAN THE MRF. THE ECMWF IS MUCH TOO COOL UNDER THIS MORE AMPLIFIED RIDGE POSITION THAN WOULD BE INDICATED. WILL TREND TOWARDS THE MRF FOR THIS REASON. AS THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN SW TIMING IN THIS NEARLY ZONAL FLOW WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATTER HALF OF THE EXTENDED. .GLD...NONE. SVEN
