NWS Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 6:19 PM CST, 8 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 619 PM MDT Sun Jun 16 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 200 PM MDT Sun Jun 16 2019 Scattered thunderstorms have developed in the expected areas north of Interstate 70 in response to shortwave trough coming out of southeast Wyoming around an upper low centered in the northern plains. Expect this activity to continue to slide generally east with stronger storms more southeast. Another cluster is expected to move out of northeast Colorado this evening over the same general area. Already had a report of golf ball sized hail near Imperial, Nebraska, with initial activity, so cannot rule out some isolated large hail with first cluster, then probably more of a wind threat with the second cluster this evening as instability declines but sufficient dcape persists. Convection will gradually weaken and diminish during the overnight hours. Low temperatures will be in the 50s. The synoptic set up for Monday changes very little. There is perhaps a slight southern shift in the track of the incoming shortwave trough compared to today, and the wave appears a little stronger. Instability also will be higher, peaking at around 2500 j/kg at 00z compared to 1500 j/kg today. Deep layer shear will be slightly weaker, however, around 25 kts. All of this translates to a slight risk of severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening, with large hail and damaging winds the main threats. Will have to monitor for flash flooding as well, with repeated heavy rainfall in the same areas. High temperatures on Monday will be in the lower 80s and lows Monday night in the 50s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1257 PM MDT Sun Jun 16 2019 Synopsis... Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Tri-State area Tuesday morning through the overnight hours to early Wednesday. While some isolated severe weather with damaging winds and large hail cannot be totally ruled out, the main weather threat Tuesday will be flash flooding with the highest potential in locations which receive significant rainfall Monday and again Tuesday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms stick around through the afternoon and early evening hours Wednesday when again severe weather will be possible with the main threats being damaging winds and large hail. Drier weather is expected Wednesday evening through the late afternoon hours Thursday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible for much of the Tri-State area Thursday afternoon and evening. The weekend continues to look wet with chances for showers and thunderstorms for at least some large portions of the forecast area Friday through Sunday, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. Severe weather cannot be ruled out for next weekend at this time. High temperatures will be in the 70s Tuesday and Wednesday before warming up to the 80s Thursday and Friday, then cooling down to the upper 70s to low 80s for next weekend. Low temperatures will generally be in the 50s throughout the long term forecast period. Discussion... A weak upper-level trough over the far southwestern United States will bring increased chances for showers and thunderstorms across the Central High Plains throughout the day on Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. As this trough weakens, strong northwest flow will develop aloft over the Tri-State area which will lead to the formation of progressive upper-level shortwave troughs. These shortwave troughs will keep the chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast Wednesday through Thursday, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. By Thursday afternoon, a strong longwave upper-level trough begins to deepen over the northern portion of the Mountain West. This strengthening trough will promote widespread upper-level support for ascent and repeated chances for showers and thunderstorms Thursday evening through this coming weekend, especially in the afternoon and evening hours when instability will be at the greatest. Even as this upper-level trough exits the region Saturday, another developing longwave trough will develop over the western United States and bring persistent chances for showers and thunderstorms to the Central High Plains through Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 619 PM MDT Sun Jun 16 2019 VFR conditions are expected to prevail at GLD terminal. Winds will shift to the north as an outflow boundary moves from north to south through the area. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible in the vicinity of the terminal through this evening. Winds will die down around 03Z, picking up again mid-to late afternoon Monday. Toward the end of the TAF period, a few showers and thunderstorms may develop. VFR conditions are expected to prevail at MCK terminal for the majority of the forecast period. Gusty winds and brief window for thunderstorms will be possible through around 03Z. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. CO...NONE.
