AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
330 PM CDT THU JUN 8 1995

ETA MODEL STILL LOOKS TO BE THE BEST WITH THE CURRENT PATTERN. SFC LOW
FORECAST TO STRETCH FROM COLORADO THRU THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY 00Z.
WINDS OVER THE AREA HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE EAST TO NORTHEAST ALL DAY AND
LOW CLOUDS HAVE LINGERED. THIS WILL PROBABLY HINDER THE SVR WX SOMEWHAT
TONIGHT...BUT PROBABLY NOT COMPLETELY.

CURRENT SHORT FUSE/ADAP COMPOSITE INDICATED THE BEST AREA FOR FIRST
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. THE WARM FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM DHT TO THE SOUTHERN
KANSAS BORDER...THEN BACK DOWN INTO OKLAHOMA AND SOUTH OF TULSA.
18Z TEMPS WERE 86 AT GAG AND 65 AT DDC. THE DRYLINE WAS OVER THE
WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. DDCS 18Z SOUNDING NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT LOOKED
THIS MORNING...BUT STILL FAIRLY UNSTABLE. THE CAP STILL APPEARS TO BE A
MAJOR FACTOR THAT MAY HOLD EVERYTHING BACK A LITTLE...AS WELL AS THE
FACT THAT WE DID NOT CLEAR OFF LIKE WE EXPECTED THIS MORNING.
SATELLITE DOES INDICATE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME CLEARING ALONG THE
SOUTHERN KANSAS BORDER...SO THIS MAY BE THE MAIN AREA TO WATCH FOR.
ALREADY SOME INDICATIONS AS DDCS 88D SHOWING A CELL CURRENTLY FORMING
IN BEAVER COUNTY OK. ALL IN ALL...THE MAIN CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN
WHERE THE FRONT AND THE DRYLINE INTERSECT...AND THEN WE JUST HAVE TO
SEE IF THE CAP CAN BE BROKEN ENOUGH FOR THE CONVECTION TO MOVE NORTH
INTO THE CWA.

WOULD EXPECT TO SEE MORE SUNSHINE ON FRIDAY AS THE WHOLE MESS MOVES
OFF TO THE EAST...SO GUIDANCE TEMPS LOOK A LITTLE TOO LOW.
