.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WILL BE THE MAIN
FORECAST CONCERN.

12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER
THE PLAINS WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER MT. AT THE SFC, A TROUGH HAS
CONTINUED TO REDEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS TODAY, BRINGING
SOUTHERLY WINDS BACK TO THE CWA ALONG WITH WARMER TEMPS. MOISTURE
HAS ALSO RETURNED TO THE WESTERN PLAINS, WITH DEWPOINTS BACK UP
INTO THE MID 60S ACROSS MOST OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA. SHORT
FUSE COMPOSITE AND SPC MESOANALYSIS HAVE THE BEST CAPE VALUES IN
THE WESTERN CWA, AND CU HAS ALREADY STARTED TO FORM IN THAT AREA.
BUMPED UP POPS INTO THE LOW CHANCE CATEGORY IN OUR WESTERN TWO
TIERS OF COUNTIES. WITH GOOD INSTABILITY OF AROUND 2500 J/KG AS
WELL AS DECENT SHEAR, SOME LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE
DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY. TONIGHT, THE SHORTWAVE OVER MT MOVES
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. HOWEVER, IT
LOOKS LIKE THE PRIMARY DYNAMICS FROM THIS FEATURE WILL BE WELL TO
OUR NORTHEAST AND MODELS HAVE NEGATIVE UVV LATER TONIGHT. WILL
CONTINUE THE TREND OF QUICKLY TAPERING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AFTER 06Z.

THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. THE SFC LOW AND SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PUSH SLIGHTLY
EASTWARD, WITH THE BEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY MOVING MORE INTO
THE HYS AREA. GOING FORECAST HAS LOW POPS IN THAT AREA LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND SEE LITTLE REASON TO CHANGE THIS. THINK
THAT WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL KEEP CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FROM
BECOMING TOO WIDESPREAD. BY TUESDAY, MODELS START TO SHOW SOME
DIFFERENCES IN HOW THEY HANDLE THE NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE GFS
AND UKMET SLOW THE BOUNDARY DOWN EVEN FURTHER, WHILE THE NAM AND
HIGH-RES ECMWF STILL BRING IT DOWN INTO OUR NORTHERN CWA. SREF
ALSO BRINGS THE BOUNDARY INTO OUR FAR NORTH, SO WILL CONTINUE TO
KEEP THAT PATTERN FOR NOW, BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE FOR
FUTURE RUNS. WILL KEEP THE LOW POPS WE HAVE GOING FOR LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, THE HEAT UP WILL CONTINUE AS WE GET SOME
DOWNSLOPE AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. AGREE THAT MODELS ARE OVERDONE
FOR HIGHS. THE NAM 2 M TEMPS TRY AND SET UP TEMPS AROUND 110
TUESDAY AFTERNOON IN OUR FAR SOUTHEAST, AND ALTHOUGH WE WILL BE
HOT, IT WONT BE QUITE THAT MUCH. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HIGHS ON
MONDAY AROUND OR A COUPLE OF DEGREES ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK. HIGHS
ON TUESDAY WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON THE EXACT POSITION OF THE
FRONT. FOR NOW, WILL CONTINUE WITH AROUND 103 OR 104 IN OUR FAR
SOUTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT, WITH UPPER 90S IN THE NORTH BEHIND THE
BOUNDARY. CONTINUED WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S FOR BOTH TONIGHT
AND MONDAY NIGHT AS WINDS SHOULD KEEP US PRETTY WELL MIXED.

DAYS 3-7...

IN GENERAL ALL THE MODELS THIS MORNING WERE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
KEEPING OUR UPPER LVL RIDGE AXIS ALONG OR JUST WEST OF THE ROCKIES
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS AN UPPER LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY
OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST NEAR 130W. OVER THE COURSE OF THE WORK WEEK
MULTIPLE UPPER LVL WAVES WILL BE MOVE OUT FROM THE BASE OF THIS LOW
AND THEN ROTATE AROUND OUR UPPER RIDGE INTO THE PLAINS. BY THURSDAY
NIGHT HOWEVER MODELS START TO DIVERGE ON SOLUTIONS AND THIS SEEMS TO
BE MAINLY DUE TO HOW THEY HANDLE THE UPPER LOW AS IT FINALLY BEGINS
TO MOVE E/NE. AT THIS TIME DO NOT HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON WHICH MODEL
IS MORE CORRECT LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD BUT THE GFS AND ECMWF
SEEMS TO AGREE UPON WEAKENING OUR UPPER RIDGE AS IT SHIFTS EASTWARD
TOWARDS THE PLAINS.  AT THIS TIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE MAIN
CHALLENGE AND BASED ON 85H TEMP PROGGS IT APPEARS THE CURRENT
FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO AROUND 100
DEGREES EACH DAY. SOME DAYS A LITTLE WARMER THAN OTHER BASED ON WHERE
OUR FRONT WILL BE BUT CONFIDENCE IS THIS IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MAKE
ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

AS FOR PCPN CHANCES...MODELS TODAY CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME VERY WARM
AIR IN THE MID LVLS MID TO LATE WEEK AS A SFC FRONT MEANDERS NORTH
AND SOUTH ACROSS KANSAS. THERE COULD EASILY BE A SLT CHC FOR STORMS
JUST ABOUT ANY DAY GIVEN A FRONT IN OR NEAR OUT CWA AND ANY WEAK
UPPER WAVE EMBEDDED IN THE NW FLOW MOVING ACROSS THE CNTL PLAINS.
AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SHIFT THAT THE N/NE CWA WILL HAVE THE BETTER
CHANCES MID TO LATE WEEK SO WILL RETAIN THE SMALL POPS CURRENTLY IN
THE GRIDS.
&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...BUFR SOUNDING SHOWING SOME MOISTURE OVER SW KS
BETWEEN
5-7KFT THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. WITH SOME MID LVL INSTAB
EXPECTED LATE TODAY COULD EASILY SEE SOME LATE DAY CU AND POSSIBLY
EVEN A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO EARLY IN THE EVENING. THE PROB FOR A
TSRA NEAR AT ANY TAF SITE APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN 20 PERCENT SO
WILL NOT INCLUDE MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE TAFS THIS AFTERNOON.

GUSTY SW WINDS IS EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET AND BACK A BIT
MORE TO THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT.
