Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 133 PM MDT Wed Jun 7 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 130 PM MDT Wed Jun 7 2017 The short term forecast concerns are the afternoon and evening thunderstorms expected today and again on Thursday with the possibility of isolated storms becoming severe with hail and wind as the main threats. The apex of the upper ridge in place over the Rockies sharpens over the next 36 hours as it begins to push eastward across the high plains on Thursday ahead of the large low approaching the Pacific Northwest. Beneath the ridge aloft there is a surface trough extending the length of the front range that will remain in place near the front range today and move east over the high plains during the day on Thursday. Moist southeast surface flow exists ahead of the surface trough, keeping dewpoints across the forecast area in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The axis of greatest instabilities will remain near the vicinity of the surface trough both today and tomorrow with greater instabilities expected on Thursday as high temperatures increase from the lower 80s today to the middle 80s on Thursday. Several weak waves show up in the northwest flow over the region along with several appearing to be the result of convective feedback within the models. The marginal risk of severe storms over the western sections of the forecast area today will be more widespread across the forecast area on Thursday as the axis of instability and near surface convergence moves east. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 1258 PM MDT Wed Jun 7 2017 The extended period, for the most part, looks to be hot and dry with slight chances for showers and storms Thursday evening. Based on current model guidance, the CWA will be on the east side of a upper level ridge Thursday night. Northwest upper level flow and a 700mb shortwave will be present over the region as well. The shortwave will be one of the main initiators for storm development. Currently, any precipitation will be focused over the eastern half of the CWA during the evening hours. Bulk shear is weak and CAPEs below 1300 J/kg does not indicate severe potential but a few strong to severe storms can not be ruled out. Friday through Monday will be hot and dry. High temperatures will start in the low to mid 90s on Friday and reach the upper 90s on Sunday (potentially around 100 degrees F), with a slight decrease to the upper 80s to mid 90s on Monday. The region will be under a upper level ridge for half of this time. During the weekend the ridge will push east a little and southwest flow will push into the region on Sunday and Monday. This is due to a closed low pressure system moving into the Pacific Northwest. Southwest flow will bring continued dry, hot air to the CWA, as well as gusty winds. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooler in the 80s due to a cold front that is expected to move over the region late on Monday. The closed low pressure system is currently trending to move north of the area and not impact the CWA. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1137 AM MDT Wed Jun 7 2017 VFR conditions are expected at MCK and GLD through the TAF period. A few thunderstorms will develop across the central high plains late this afternoon and evening. Have introduced a vicinity thunderstorms mention at GLD between 01-04Z. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE.
