Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 1057 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night) Issued at 255 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2022 Overview: An upper level ridge -- presently centered over the Intermountain West/Desert Southwest -- will gradually shift eastward over the 4-Corners toward the central/southern Rockies. Through Tuesday night: Below average forecast confidence. Temperatures and cloud cover may largely depend upon the evolution of a stalled or nearly-stalled upper level disturbance -- presently situated over southeastern CO and southwestern KS. Considerable overcast and light rain persists in assoc/w this feature.. mainly along and south of a line from Lamar to Garden City. Guidance has struggled to capture this feature (or the affect/impact of this feature).. as evidenced by observational data (e.g. persistent light rain with temperatures in the mid 50s at 2:30 pm MDT this afternoon around Syracuse-Lakin-Garden City). Forecast has been adjusted to reduce high temperatures in the south/southeast on Tue. Wed-Wed night: With the Tri-State area situated beneath an upper level ridge (extending into/over the region from the west).. and the prospect of a stalled/trapped upper level disturbance beneath (over southwest KS).. below average forecast confidence persists. With a ridge aloft -- where mid-level flow is weaker than the low- level flow -- there won't be stronger momentum 'on tap' for downward transport via deep vertical mixing. Thus, even in the presence of deep vertical mixing, wind magnitude may largely be a function of the low-level pattern. Guidance suggests that a thermal trough will develop in the lee of the Rockies during the day.. and that 20-30 knot southerly flow will be present on the eastern periphery in far eastern CO and western KS. If this is the case, near-critical to critical fire weather conditions are possible over the majority of the area. Given that an upper level disturbance may be trapped beneath the ridge over portions of southwest KS, whether or not the low-level pattern evolves as indicated.. remains to be seen. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday) Issued at 155 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2022 With a low pressure system to the north and a high pressure system to the south, the upper-level flow over the Tri-State area will remain zonal for the later half of the week and into the weekend. Thursday will see a surface low pressure system move east across the region. This will cause Thursday’s high temperatures to reach triple digits in the eastern CWA and 90s across the rest of the Tri-State area. There is a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon as well. Friday will give way to cooler temperatures that will last through Sunday. These cooler temperatures are due to the surface low pressure system that will slow its movement over central Kansas. The high temperatures for the weekend will range from the mid 80s to 90s while the low temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible Friday and Saturday, evenings with a smaller chance of showers Sunday evening. Warmer weather looks to make a comeback on Monday with highs 5-10 degrees above normal. This will be brought on by an upper-level ridge amplifying as it approaches the Tri-State area Sunday night in to Monday. Early Monday, winds at all levels will begin favoring a southerly flow, which will draw more warm air across the High Plains. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1054 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2022 VFR conditions will prevail as winds remain southerly through the period, with an increase in speeds btwn 16 and 22Z. Some patchy fog is expected tonight, but this should remain to the south of Interstate 70 and not impact the either terminal site. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 255 PM MDT Mon Jun 27 2022 Above normal temperatures and breezy south winds will foster near-critical fire weather conditions across the majority of the Tri-State area on Wednesday. Critical fire weather conditions are possible. Outdoor burning is not advised. Confidence is below average with regard to whether or not wind speed and RH will meet/exceed RFW criteria.
