AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1259 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO RAMP UP QUICKLY AFTER 3 PM MDT
(4 PM CDT) AS A WEATHER DISTURBANCE IGNITES A FEW STORMS IN FAR
EASTERN COLORADO. AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES EAST A LINE OF STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED PRODUCING LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE HRRR HAS
BEEN SLOWLY INCREASING THE WIND GUST POTENTIAL WITH THE LINE AND
WE COULD EXPERIENCE ANOTHER EPISODE OF 70+ MPH GUSTS. LOWS TONIGHT
IN THE MID 50S WEST...MID 60S EAST.

ON MONDAY MAY SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS...PRIMARILY ACROSS FAR EASTERN COLORADO. OTHERWISE EXPECT
SOME CLOUDINESS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1242 PM MDT SUN JUN 22 2014

A FEW STORMS IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO MONDAY EVENING MAY SNEAK INTO
SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA...BUT BETTER CHANCES WILL BE AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS LLJ STRENGTHENS AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH COMES OUT OF THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES. STORMS MAY BE SLIGHTLY ELEVATED OVERNIGHT...WITH
PARCELS ORIGINATING AROUND 800MB HAVING UP TO 1000 J/KG OF
ELEVATED CAPE AND LITTLE TO NO CIN. LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT WITH THESE STORMS. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL LINGER
INTO TUESDAY MORNING...PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...BEFORE
AFTERNOON CONVECTION GETS GOING IN NORTHEAST COLORADO WITH THE
NEXT SHORTWAVE. MODERATE INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYER
SHEAR OF 30-40KTS SUGGEST ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS AS THEY
SLIDE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING. SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS
CONTINUE ON WEDNESDAY WITH A CORRIDOR OF VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
FORECAST BY THE AFTERNOON IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR HOWEVER IS SOMEWHAT WEAKER AT AROUND
30KTS...BUT SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR SEVERE STORMS AS NEXT SHORTWAVE
COMES OUT OF NORTHERN COLORADO IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

A SUBTLE PATTERN CHANGE OCCURS IN THE LAST HALF OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD WITH LONGWAVE TROUGH SETTLING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.
THE UPPER FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST.
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ROTATING AROUND THE ROCKIES TROUGH OR EVEN THE
RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL GULF WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO CONTINUE
THE MENTION OF DAILY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
LONG TERM.
