964 FXUS63 KGLD 080228 AFDGLD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 828 PM MDT Mon Jul 7 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Storms are possible Tuesday with the main threat of strong to damaging wind gusts. - Remaining mild throughout with highs around the low 90s. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 818 PM MDT Mon Jul 7 2025 The severe weather threat has diminished though some isolated showers and thunderstorms may linger into the late evening and early overnight hours. Thereafter expecting the sky to clear and should winds become light and conditions be allowed to radiate out there is the possibility of some patchy fog, especially in any low lying areas and more so if they have been saturated in rain the past 24 to 48 hours. Dewpoints were around 60 during max temperatures today and using that as a threshold, should any locations fall at or below there is the threat of lower visibilities with patchy fog during the morning hours. Lows tonight are forecast in the mid to upper 50s for the over half of the forecast area encompassing east-central CO, southwest NE and northeast KS. Again, dependence on how quickly and effectively clouds clear with todays shower and thunderstorm activity. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 1220 PM MDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Generally, weak ridging will persist over the area for the long term forecast Tuesday through the weekend. As a result, there will be the potential for some isolated to scattered storms daily in the afternoon and evening hours through the week and weekend. The best location for these storms would be mainly for our western half of the area, but everywhere could see storms daily. Generally, there is still some uncertainty as to the severity of these storms. At least for Tuesday, we are outlooked in a Marginal Risk for Severe Weather, so a few of these storms could be severe with the main risks being winds greater than 60mph and large hail tomorrow. Beyond tomorrow, the storms look to be primarily sub-severe, but we will continue to monitor for changes. Temperatures will be a bit warmer as we go toward the end of the workweek. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s across the area, so be sure to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if you will be spending time outdoors! MSW && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Updated at 818 PM MDT Mon Jul 7 2025 N/NW winds presently should gradually veer E/SE during the over- night period while becoming light. That said, with RA impacting KMCK there is the possibility of patchy FG towards morning. But this will depend on how quickly and effectively present CIGs clear out. If mid-high CIGs linger the FG threat may not manifest. E/SE winds increasing during the day Tuesday that should clear out any lower VSBYs should they exist. Will be monitoring once again throughout the day for the threat of TSRA. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. CO...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Sipprell LONG TERM...Williams AVIATION...Sipprell
