AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
244 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS TODAY,
WITH A SFC TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE ROCKIES AND WESTERN PLAINS.
DEWPOINTS OVER SW KS ARE NOT AS HIGH AS THEY COULD BE, AS MOST OF
THE BEST MOISTURE HAS GONE NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH OK OR WESTWARD
INTO TX PANHANDLE.  DRYLINE IS JUST WEST OF THE KS-CO BORDER,
THOUGH THERE IS NOT A LOT OF CONVERGENCE ALONG IT.  CAPES ARE
PRETTY HIGH IN THE 2000 J/KG RANGE, THOUGH THERE IS STILL SOME
CAP LEFT.  ANY DISTURBANCES COMING THROUGH THE SW FLOW ARE VERY
WEAK, AND SHEAR IS ALSO NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE. THINK THAT IF STORMS
DO FIRE THAT LARGE HAIL IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT THE
PROBLEM IS GETTING CONVECTION GOING.  THINK THAT THE BEST CHANCE
FOR WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY WILL BE TO OUR SOUTHWEST WHERE
STORMS COULD COME INTO FROM CO/NM, WITH ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS
MOVING EASTWARD DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  NOT SURE HOW FAR
EAST THE STORMS WILL GET, BUT KEPT SOME LOW POPS GOING FOR THAT
AREA, WITH AROUND 25-30 POPS IN THE SOUTHWEST.  WITH SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUING THROUGH TONIGHT, WILL
KEEP LOWS FAIRLY MILD IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70.

THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINEU THROUGH TOMORROW, WITH THE
SFC TROUGH SHIFTING ONLY SLIGHTLY FURTHER EAST.  THE MODELS ARE IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON SHIFTING THE DRYLINE EASTWARD INTO OUR
CENTRAL CWA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  NOT MUCH CONVERGENCE ALONG IT
SO FAR, AND ANY DISTURBANCES COMING THROUGH ARE AGAIN FAIRLY WEAK.
HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL THE CHANCE SOMETHING ISOLATED COULD FIRE
SO WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.  SHIFTED THE AREA OF
PRECIP EASTWARD IN THE GRIDS TO MATCH BETTER WITH THE POSITION OF
THE DRYLINE.  HIGHS TUESDAY WILL AGAIN BE VERY WARM, AS 850MB
TEMPS GET INTO THE UPPER 20S C, ALLOWING SFC TEMPS TO GET UP INTO
THE 90S.  A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL START TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD
INTO KANSAS BY TUESDAY NIGHT.  THE MODELS TRY TO WASH OUT THE
FRONT BY WEDNESDAY, BUT THINK THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH OF A
BOUNDARY THAT ALONG WITH THE DRYLINE, COULD PRODUCE SOME STORMS
OVER OUR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES BY WED AFTERNOON.  HIGHS WILL BE A
BIT COOLER ON WED, MAINLY IN THE 80S TO LOW 90S.

DAYS 3-7...

THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD, THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE ALL
INDICATING A MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WHILE THE
RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE ALONG THE EAST COAST.  THIS PATTERN CONTINUES
UNTIL THIS WEEKEND AFTER WHICH TIME THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN
FLATTENS OUT SOMEWHAT.  THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDER
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.  OCCASIONAL PIECES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY ARE
FORECAST TO LIFT OUT ACROSS THE REGION. TIMING OF THESE MINOR WAVES
BY THE MODELS IS SUSPECT AT BEST.  CURRENTLY THE GRIDS INDICATE AT
LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS EVERY EVENING THROUGH
FRIDAY.  NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO PICK A DAY WHEN THERE
WOULDNT BE A CHANCE FOR STORMS SO WILL LEAVE THAT FORECAST AS IS.
ON FRIDAY, THE MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE
EJECTING OUT INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. HAVE RAISED POPS TO ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGICAL LEVELS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT GIVEN THE STRONGER SIGNAL.

EARLY NEXT WEEK THE LONG RANGE GFS AS WELL AS THE CANADIAN SHOW AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FORMING OVER THE CENTRAL.  WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BUT BACK OFF PRECIPITATION TO BELOW NORMAL
GIVEN THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN.
