Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 1:20 PM MST, 1 hour 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 220 PM MDT MON JUN 25 2001 CONCERN WILL BE WITH TSRA DEVELOPMENT OVER THE TRI STATE AREA THRU MIDWEEK. ATTM TMPS WERE CLIMBING INTO THE 90S THIS AFTN WITH SOME HIGH CLOUDINESS SPILLING INTO THE FA. LOW LVL MOISTURE REMAINS ABUNDANT ACROSS THE CWA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 50S AND 60S AND A SUBTLE DRY LINE OVER THE WESTERN FA. A 5H/VORT MAX OVER SE COLORADO WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE FA LATE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. 7H/TMPS WERE COOLER AND 5H/HGHTS WERE WEAKER THAN ALL THE MODELS...INCLUDING THE FAVORABLE ETA...FORECAST THIS MORNING. WITH THIS IN MIND I WILL KEEP POPS IN THE FORECAST TONITE. DESPITE 850/WINDS BETTER THAN 30KTS ACROSS THE EASTERN FA...I BELIEVE THEY WILL DE COUPLE AND WILL KEEP THIS AREA BELOW THE BREEZY CATEGORY. YDAY MODELS HAD A COOL FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE N FA TUESDAY MORNING. WITH TODAYS RUN THE FRONT NEVER MAKES IT THIS FAR SOUTH. THE STRONG 5H/RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING MOST PORTIONS OF THE FA DRY THRU THE WEEKEND BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN SOMEWHAT. MID LVL MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA AND WITH THIS CLOUDINESS AFTN HIGHS SHUD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY. BY MIDDAY TUESDAY THE 5H/VORT MAX EITHER WEAKNS AND/OR REDEVELOPS OVER NE NEW MEXICO BY LATE TUESDAY AFTN. A DRY LINE...LIKE TODAY REMAINS ACROSS THE FA AND THE CHANCES FOR TSRA SHUD PERSIST INTO TUESDAY EVENING. WEDNESDAY A WEAK DISTURBANCE FROM THE SW US MOVES ACROSS THE CWA. SOME SE PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE ALSO MOVES WITH THE DISTURBANCE AND THE CHANCES FOR TSRA SHUD INCREASE EVEN MORE WED AFTN/EVE. PART OF THE 5H/HIGH MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND MAY AID IN RETREATING A MID LVL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SE US WWARD ALL THE WAY INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THURSDAY. WITH MID LVL MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS THE CWA THE LOW MAY ACTUALLY INFLUENCE THE FA WEATHER AND I WILL LEAVE TSRA IN THE FORECAST. THE LOW RETREATS EVEN FURTHER WWARD AND ENDS UP IN SE KANSAS FRIDAY. ITS NOT UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN ANOTHER 5H/HIGH BUILDS OVER THE SW US AND WILL INFLUENCE THE CWA WEATHER SATURDAY. MOISTURE SHUD BEGIN TO DECREASE AND AFTN HIGHS AGAIN WILL CLIMB INTO THE 90S SUNDAY AND MONDAY. .GLD...NONE. VP
