Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 9:56 PM CDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 955 PM CDT THU JUN 8 1995 PROBLEM IS IF OVERRUNNING WILL CAUSE RW/TRW OVER DDC/S CWA ON FRIDAY. AM WORKING SEVERE. DDC/S 88D SHOWS FOCUS OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EASTWARD OUT OF DDC/S CWA AND ALSO SHOWS SVR TRW WORKING ON THE FRONT OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. THUS...EXPECT POPS TO DROP LATER THIS EVENING FOR MOST OF SW KANSAS. BOTH THE ETA AND NGM SEEM ABOUT EQUAL IN INITIALIZATION AND WENT WITH A BLEND OF BOTH FOR MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER LOW. QUICK LOOK SUGGESTS THAT THE NGM AND AVN BOTH SIMILIAR IN GROSS MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT FROM JUST SOUTH OF KS/OK BORDER NEAR DDC/S CWA TO A POSITION FROM NORTHEAST KANSAS TO OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS WOULD PRODUCE OVERRUNNING...ESPECIALLY OVER P28. THE H8 PROGS SUGGEST THAT THE GULF MOISTURE WILL MOVE OVER EASTERN KANSAS LATE MONDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE PROGGED UVV/S...LOSS OF GULF MOISTURE...DDC/S 88D AND WEAK VORTICITY SUGGESTS PRECIPITATION ENDING EARLY FRIDAY AND CLEARING OCCURRING FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CLOUDINESS PRODUCED BY THE OVERRUNNING MAKES TEMP FCST SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT. WENT WITH TEMPS A BIT ABOVE THE FWC ON THE GROUNDS THAT EXPECTED OVERRUNNING WILL D^AMPEN INSOLATION AND THEREFORE WON/T RAISE TEMPERATURES QUITE AS HIGH. BELL
