AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
903 PM CDT WED JUN 7 1995

MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE TRW DEVELOPMENT.

THIS MORNING/S 50A SHOWED PRESSURE DROPS TO THE SOUTH OF THE NV LOW
WHICH SUGGESTS SOUTHERLY MOVEMENT. HOWEVER...THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT
IN MOVING THIS LOW TO THE EAST RATHER QUICKER THAN SEEMS REASONABLE.
SFC ANALS TODAY SHOW A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT FROM NEAR TOP TO NEAR
P28. AS THE UPPER LOW SAGS SOUTHWARD...WE CAN EXPECT VORT SHOTS TO MOVE
OVER SW KANSAS ON THURSDAY. THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT WILL DISPLAY
PERTUBATIONS IN LOCATION BUT WON'T MOVE MUCH. PROFILERS AT GDA AND HVL
BOTH SHOWING EASTERLY FLOW NEAR THE SFC AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS
WILL HELP MAINTAIN THE CAP OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

DDC/S 88D IS SHOWING THE DEVELOPING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN GAG
AND END. BASED ON THEIR TRACK...RECOMMEND THAT WE ADD 20 PER CENT POPS
TO GRP 8 FOR OVERNIGHT. TRWS ARE ALSO DEVELOPING IN KEARNY AND
SCOTT COUNTIES. CONSIDERING THE CAPE AND LI PRESENT AT DDC...
CANNOT RULE OUT STRONG TRW OVER DDC/S CWA AND POSSIBLY BARBER
COUNTY.
