AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
245 PM MDT WED JUN 16 2004

.DISCUSSION...VERY ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PATTERN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE MAIN POLAR COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE
TRI STATE REGION...USHERING IN COOLER AIR THAT WILL BE IN PLACE THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. MOISTURE HAS HAD TIME TO
POOL BEHIND THE FRONT IN NEBRASKA...AND MID 50S TO LOWER 60S
DEWPOINTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FUNNEL INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE
FRONT...RESULTING IN PLENTY OF INSTABILITY. ZONAL TO NORTHWESTERLY
UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH OF AN IMPETUS TO BRING
AFTERNOON CONVECTION OFF OF THE HIGH TERRAIN OF EASTERN CO/WY AND
INTO THE TRI STATE. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL THEREFORE BE MUCH
GREATER AT NIGHT THAN DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE MOST ACTIVE PERIODS
LOOK TO BE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE OVERALL PATTERN
DOES NOT CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS...SO I HAVE HEDGED
ABOVE GUIDANCE POPS IN THE EXTENDED. GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE GFS
ENSEMBLE MOS POPS FOR SATURDAY TO NEXT WEDNESDAY...WITH VALUES AS
HIGH AS I HAVE SEEN THEM...IN THE 30 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE FOR THE
ENSEMBLE.

IN THE SHORT TERM...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL BE
THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. SHEAR AND HELICITY VALUES
COMBINED WITH LOW CLOUD BASES ARE MAKING GREELEY AND WICHITA
COUNTIES VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO TORNADIC SUPERCELLS IF A CELL HAPPENS
TO MOVE INTO THAT AREA FROM COLORADO. THE TORNADO THREAT SHOULD
DIMINISH AFTER 10 PM...BUT A LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL EXIST IN
SLIGHTLY ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION.
IN ADDITION...MODELS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING THE IDEA OF A CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS NORTHWEST KANSAS TONIGHT WITH UP TO 2 INCHES
OF RAIN POSSIBLE. JET LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL ALSO ENHANCE THE OVERALL
LIFT IN THE ATMOSPHERE...AND SHOULD LEAD TO WIDESPREAD ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS EVEN TO THE NORTH OF THE COMPLEX. TAKING ALL OF THIS
INTO ACCOUNT...THERE IS ENOUGH POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL TO ISSUE
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS FROM SHARON SPRINGS TO HOXIE TO NORTON
WHERE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE FALLEN THE PAST TWO EVENINGS.

A SLOW MOVING CLOSED LOW OVER ARIZONA WILL PASS THROUGH THE HIGH
PLAINS BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON...AT WHICH TIME THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO
A DEVELOPING LONGWAVE TROF OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES.
THIS WILL PROVIDE SHORTWAVES AND ENHANCED LIFT TO AID MORE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TOMORROW EVENING...WITH STORMS PASSING
THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THIS IS THE SCENARIO THAT SHOULD
REPEAT ITSELF THROUGH NEXT WEEK. THE TRUE POLAR FRONT MAY NOT RETURN
NORTHWARD UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK...SO TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN
SEASONABLE IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

1056 AM MDT (1156 AM CDT) WED JUN 16 2004

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST KANSAS...EXTREME
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...AND EAST CENTRAL COLORADO.

...ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN VERY CLOSE TO OR JUST SOUTH OF THE
AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT THE SAME TIME...ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. ALL THESE FACTORS
WORKING TOGETHER WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING THROUGH
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL INCREASE AFTER 2 PM MDT (3 PM CDT).

AT THIS TIME...THE INSTABILITY IS BEING LIMITED BY CLOUD COVER.
HOWEVER...OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO WHERE THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN...SUFFICIENT HEATING WILL TAKE PLACE. THIS
AFTERNOON...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND
SOUTH OF A LINE FROM FLAGLER TO GOODLAND TO HILL CITY. THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL THEN SPREAD OVER THE REST OF THE AREA DURING
THE EVENING. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE ENTIRE AREA.

HOWEVER...ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE A THREAT ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
LINE FROM FLAGLER TO GOODLAND TO HILL CITY. THE TORNADO THREAT IS
ESPECIALLY HIGH FOR GREELEY AND WICHITA COUNTIES WHERE THE WIND
PROFILE THROUGH THE MIDDLE LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR VIOLENT OR LARGE TORNADOES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE OVER
THE AREA ON THURSDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AFTER 2 PM MDT (3
PM CDT) ALONG AND SOUTH OF A FLAGLER COLORADO TO GOODLAND TO HILL
CITY LINE. SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL THEN BE LIKELY OVER THE ENTIRE
AREA TONIGHT.
