AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 240 PM MDT MON JUN 5 2006 .DISCUSSION... COMPLEX WEATHER SCENARIO TODAY WITH POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER TAKING SHAPE. 12Z ANALYSIS INDICATES A S/WV TROF NEAR NRN MT WITH ITS SFC REFLECTION OVR THE DAKOTAS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIES FROM THE DAKOTAS TO THE NE PANHANDLE THEN WESTWARD ACROSS NRN UT AND CO. CONVECTION STILL ONGOING IN NORTH CENTRAL KS...TRIGGERED BY AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IN ERN KS. SEVERE ACTIVITY HAS ALREADY BROKEN OUT IN NORTH CENTRAL NE AS EVIDENT FROM LATEST RADAR IMAGERY. EXPECT MORE STORMS TO INITIATE IN THE SAME RGN AND MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST. ALTHOUGH SPEED SHEAR IS NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE...SOUTHEASTERLY LLVL FLOW WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CAN HELP MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF SPEED SHEAR. ALL IN ALL THINGS ARE SHAPING UP TO BE A BUSY NIGHT PER SEVERE WATCH #437 IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM MDT/9 PM CDT. LINGERING ANVIL DEBRIS FROM TONIGHTS CONVECTION WL EXIT THE ERN PRTN OF THE CWA TUE LEAVING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AS SFC HIGH BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. UPSLOPE GRADIENT WL KEEP TEMPS A LITTLE COOLER...SO WL UNDERCUT GUIDANCE BY A FEW DEGREES WITH HIGHS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 80S MOST PLACES. A SMALL AXIS OF WAA/MOISTURE ADVECTION DEVELOPS OVER ERN CO WITH TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS INDICATING WEAK LIFT. WL LEAVE SLIGHT CHANCE OF TRW IN PRTNS OF ERN CO...ALTHOUGH COVERAGE WL BE ISOLATED AT BEST. SPC DAY 2 OUTLOOK PLACES SLIGHT RISK TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF CHEYENNE AND KIT CARSON COUNTIES WHERE THE BETTER LIFT AND INSTABILITY COEXIST. H5 RIDGE SHIFTS TO THE EAST WED. A WEAK VORT/SPEED MAX WL MOVE INTO ERN CO ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE. SFC TEMPS WL WARM UP INTO THE LOWER 90S AS SUGGESTED BY H85 TEMPS IN THE UPPER 20S CELSIUS. ALTHOUGH SUBSIDENCE IS EVIDENT IN TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS OVER WRN KS INITIALLY...A SFC LOW IN THE NRN HIGH PLAINS WL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO TRIGGER A FEW TRA...MAINLY IN THE WRN HALF OF THE RGN WHERE FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE SUFFICENT LLVL INSTABILITY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT IN RESPECT TO FLATTENING THE RIDGE BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS A SYSTEM MOVES OFF THE NW COAST. DIFFERENCES LIE IN THE STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. THE GFS IS MUCH QUICKER...PLACING THE H5 LOW IN SRN CANADA...NORTH OF THE DAKOTAS SAT EVENING WHILE THE ECMWF HOLDS IT OVR NRN ID. THE GFS APPEARS TO BE OVERDOING THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...WITH ITS SFC REFLECTION OVR THE NE PANHANDLE BY 12Z THU. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA BY FRI. HELD ONTO THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF TRW FOR CONTINUITY ALTHOUGH THE LLVL MOISTURE DOES NOT LOOK TOO IMPRESSIVE. 12Z GFS RUN BRINGS THIS FRONT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT FRI...SUGGESTING WARMER TEMPS ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF TRW. IN FACT...LATEST MEX GUIDANCE HINTS AT 100 DEGREE TEMPS FOR GLD. FOR NOW BUMPED TEMPS UP A COUPLE OF DEGREES...BUT HELD OFF ON INSERTING TEMPS THIS WARM ATTM. LOOKS LIKE AN UNSETTLED PATTERN WL CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND... ALTHOUGH HELD OFF ON INSERTING ANY POPS. HOWEVER IF MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THIS PATTERN...LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO REVISIT ADDING POPS FOR SAT/SUN. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. NE...NONE. CO...NONE. && CLK
