LACYWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 1, 1:09 PM MDT, 7 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 1:09 PM MDT, 7 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 209 PM CDT FRI JUL 1 2005 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... MODELS IN AGREEMENT IN HAVING A FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN ACROSS AREA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM ALTHOUGH THEY DIFFER SOME ON DETAILS...MAINLY WHERE MCS DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR TONIGHT. BOTH ETA AND GFS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN WHERE THEY DEVELOP THESE SYSTEMS. THE ETA HAS ONE DEVELOPING OVER SE CO/SW KS AND HEADING SSE WITH ANOTHER DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL NE AND HEADING SSE AS WELL. GFS DEVELOPS THREE SYSTEMS...ONE IN TX PANHANDLE AND ANOTHER IN S CTRL KS AND HEAD SSE ALONG WITH ONE IN THE SAME GENERAL VICINITY AS THE ETA IN NE. FOR NOW DO NOT CARE FOR THE TWO SYSTEMS THE GFS DEVELOPS AND WITH WINDS ALREADY BACK AROUND TO THE S TO SE ACROSS MOST OF SE CO/SW KS WILL EXPECT SOMETHING TO DEVELOP OVER SE CO AGAIN AND MOVE THROUGH WESTERN THIRD OF CWA LATE THIS EVENING. WILL ALSO GO ALONG WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF NE AND HEADING THROUGH EASTERN CWA. THEREFORE WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE CWA WITH THE EASTERN AREAS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL BE SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT. WARMER AIR STARTS TO RETURN TOMORROW AS WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES COMING OFF THE ROCKIES. HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S...IT COULD BE CLOSER TO 90 IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE DECENT AMOUNTS OF RAIN OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL BE MOVING OUT OF WY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THERE WILL ALSO BE A LEE TROUGH AND DRYLINE NEAR THE CO/KS BORDER SO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THOUGH BEST CHANCE LOOKS ACROSS NORTHERN COUNTIES AND LEAST CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTH. ANOTHER COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE ROCKIES ON SUNDAY AND BRING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO FAR WESTERN CWA. THINK IT WILL BE TOUGH TO GET SURFACE BASED STORMS IN CWA WITH +16C TEMPS AT 700MB AND TEMPERATURES LIKELY STRUGGLING TO REACH 100 GIVEN DEW POINTS IN THE 62F-68F RANGE. THE ELEVATED MIXED LAYER HOWEVER IS STILL YIELDING DECENT CAPE VALUES ACROSS AREA AND COULD SEE SOME STORM DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BOUNDARY WITH STORMS HEADING EAST. SO HAVE INCLUDED 20 POPS ACROSS THE CWA AGAIN LATE IN THE AFTERNOON SUNDAY. DAYS 3-7... THE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE QUITE FAVORABLE FOR NOCTURNAL MCS ACTIVITY ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS, INCLUDING THE HIGH PLAINS. A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME WILL CONTINUE WITH A FLAT RIDGE DISPLACED WELL TO THE SOUTH IN THE FAR SOUTHERN PLAINS. ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE STALLING OUT PACIFIC FRONT LATE THIS WEEKEND. WITH A SURFACE LOW IN THE TX-OK PANHANDLE REGION...SLOWLY SHIFTING SOUTH INTO WEST TEXAS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...MOIST UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL DOMINATE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. THERE WILL BE CHANCES OF STORMS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH 25-45 POPS EACH NIGHT. AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ASSESS WHICH NIGHT WILL BE MOST FAVORABLE FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S WILL BE COMMON THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD. UPPER RIDGING WILL INCREASE OVER THE ROCKIES BY END-WEEK, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CHANCES OF PCPN. ALL IN ALL, NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST GRIDS. DAYS 8-10... THE OUTLOOK FOR FRIDAY JULY 8TH THROUGH SUNDAY JULY 10TH CALLS FOR NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NEAR NORMAL RAINFALL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

LIGHTNING AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY OUTPUT. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. THE BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS TO FIRE WILL BE IN THE HIGH TERRAIN OF FAR WESTERN KANSAS AND EASTERN COLORADO, WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EASTWARD DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STRONG, DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORE LATE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT, AS WELL AS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
