AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 200 PM MDT TUE JUL 4 2006 .DISCUSSION...FORECAST CONCERNS ARE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION THE NEXT FEW DAYS. .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-FRIDAY NIGHT) TONIGHT...STRONG VORT MAX SPINNING ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEAST AND OUT OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE MID LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA WHILE ANOTHER BATCH COMES DOWN FROM NEBRASKA. WILL KEEP BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIP ACROSS THE WESTERN 1/2 OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE HIGHEST 850 THETA-E MATCHES UP WITH WEAK 850 JET 850- 700 MOISTURE. WILL WAIT TIL LAST MINUTE TO TWEAK POP/WX/QPF GRIDS BASED ON LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AND RADAR TRENDS. WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MAY SEE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN 1/2 TO 1/3 OF THE AREA WHERE HIGHEST 850 THETA-E REMAINS IN PLACE. LITTLE CHANCE FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BETTER CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REMAIN ACROSS THE WEST WHERE BETTER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS. HIGHEST BOUNDARY/850 THETA-E AIR REMAINS ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO WHERE ANY PRECIP CHANCES WOULD ALSO REMAIN. BOUNDARY LAYER RH INCREASES ABOVE 90 PERCENT POSSIBLY GENERATING SOME FOG. WILL LEAVE ITS MENTION OUT FOR NOW BUT BRIEF INCOMING SHIFT TO ITS POTENTIAL. IN FACT...THE MET GUIDANCE FOR KLIC DOES SHOW SOME BR FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT...SURFACE GRADIENT INCREASES A BIT WITH HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS IOWA AND LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT RANGE. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PICKUP AS A RESULT WHICH WILL ALSO HELP IN BOOSTING TEMPERATURES ABOUT 8F FROM WEDNESDAYS READINGS. INSTABILITY IS WEAK AND REMAINS MOSTLY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. IT APPEARS THAT AN UPPER WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON FROM WESTERN COLORADO HELPING INITIATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN POOR SO NOTHING SEVERE EXPECTED. WILL REMOVE PRECIP MENTION THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE WAVE ANTICIPATED TO GENERATE THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION SWIFTLY MOVES ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. DESPITE AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FOCUS FOR STORMS TO MAINTAIN THEMSELVES ON...PLUS 0-6KM WINDS WOULD CARRY ANY STORMS TO THE NORTH VS EAST. FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...UPPER FLOW BECOMES A BIT MORE SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THE RIDGE AXIS SLOWLY MOVES EAST. LOOKS LIKE A SUBTLE WIND SHIFT LINE SETS UP ACROSS FAR EASTERN COLORADO WHERE COMBINATION OF INCREASING 700-500 MOISTURE AND LIMITED CIN WORK TO GENERATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WILL UP POPS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR COLORADO COUNTIES TO SLIGHT CHANCE AS A RESULT. .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY-TUESDAY) STORM TRACK GENERALLY REMAINS TO OUR NORTH. SURFACE FEATURES GENERALLY AGREED UPON BY THE GFS/DGEX AND FEATURE A SURFACE TROUGH AND SOUTHERLY WINDS SATURDAY WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY. EAST WINDS FOLLOW BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SUNDAY BECOMING SOUTHEASTERLY MONDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST. LITTLE CHANGE FOR TUESDAY WITH BROAD SOUTHERLY WINDS. WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE WIND SHIFT LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT BISECTS THE AREA. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE INCREASES ALONG IT WITH PLENTY OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE OVERHEAD. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARENT ALL THAT GREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED. FOR SUNDAY WE HAVE THE INSTABILITY AND LITTLE INHIBITION BUT ALSO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF A TRIGGER. WILL KEEP SILENT POPS AND DRY FORECAST GOING FOR NOW. WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO EASTERN COLORADO MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS AN INSTABILITY AXIS DEVELOPS WEST OF THE CO/KS BORDER. LOOKS AS IF A DISTURBANCE PER 700-500 MOISTURE MOVES IN FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON HELPING INITIATE STORMS ALONG A SUBTLE WIND SHIFT LINE. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
