Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 1:39 PM MST, 5 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 239 PM MDT TUE JUN 12 2001 ...WL HAVE TO WATCH HI PLAINS THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR DAY 2... WL BLEND MODELS FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE AS PATTERN GETS A BIT INTERESTING. BETTER UPPER LVL DYNAMICS TO ARRIVE OVER GLD CWA TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS...BUT WL INCLUDE 10-20 POPS IN 1ST PERIOD. PROBLEM TODAY IS THAT CONVECTIVE TEMPS NOT REACHED AND MID LVL CAP STILL IN PLACE. HOWEVER...THIS CAP SHOULD BE ERODED BY TONIGHT AS STRONGER WAVE APPROACHES FROM WSW. WITH STRONG FROPA AND LIFT CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STORMS BY 06Z. OTHERWISE...EXPECT TO SEE INCREASING SLY SFC WINDS AS LOW DEEPENS TO W OF FA. TEMPS E TO REMAIN VERY MILD TNGT. MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON UPPER LVL SUPPORT MOVG E OF THE ROCKIES WEDNESDAY AFTN/EVE. SFC FRONT DOES NOT LOOK TO MOVE MUCH PAST CWA DURING THE DAY. LAPSE RATES STEEPEN DURING THE DAY WITH COLDER AIR MOVG ALOFT. THIS WL BE IN COMBINATION WITH THE LF QUADRANT OF 100+KT JET ROUNDING BASE OF TROUGH RESULTING IN IMPRESSIVE UVVS OVER THE HI PLAINS. MOISTURE WL BE SUFFICIENT TO FORCE UPWARD...SPCLY S AND E PARTS OF CWA. TIMING OF THIS ENERGY SUGGESTS W PARTS OF CWA COULD HAVE STRONG STORM DVLP BY MID AFTN ON WEDNESDAY. OUTSIDE OF THE NGM...MODELS LOOK SLOW TO BRING IN QPF AND ACTUALLY HOLD OFF UNTIL FA FALLS UNDER RR QUADRANT OF JET LATER WED NIGHT. WL NOT INCLUDE SVR WORDING AT THIS TIME AND LET MIDNIGHT SHIFT DETERMINE BASED ON EARLY MORNING PARAMETERS. PCPN CAN BE EXPECTED MOST AREAS WED NIGHT...THEREFORE MENTIONED LIKELY POPS. MID LVL SUBSIDENCE BEGINS TO PUSH INTO AREA BY 12Z THURSDAY WITH SYSTEM MOVG QUICKLY NE...SO WL NOT MENTION ANY POPS ON DAY 2. HOWEVER...MUCH COOLER WX IN STORE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS SFC HIGH SITS OVER THE PLAINS. IN ADDITION...NOT MUCH WIND ANTICIPATED AFT WED. IN THE EXTENDED...WEEKEND COULD BE A CARBON COPY OF PAST FEW DAYS EXCEPT FOR SLGTLY COOLER DAYTIME TEMPS. UPPER LVL HEIGHTS BUILD AND COULD REDEVELOP CAP. WITH LACK OF DYNAMICS...WL KEEP SATURDAY DRY AS WELL. SFC BOUNDARY AND BETTER INSTABILITY FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY COULD BE TRIGGER FOR ISOLD TO SCT STORMS DURING THE AFTN/EVE HRS...SO WL KEEP IN CHC FOR TSTMS THOSE DAYS. NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO EXTENDED PERIOD AT THIS TIME. .GLD...NONE. KPL
