AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
237 PM CDT SUN JUN 12 2005

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

NEGATIVE TILT UPPER TROUGH IS LIFTING EAST NORTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL
AND EASTERN COLORADO ATTM. STORMS THAT DEVELOPED IN THE WARM
ADVECTION REGIME AHEAD OF THE WAVE EARLY THIS MORNING CONTINUE TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE AND NORTHWEST OK AND
HAVE BEEN SLOW TO EXIT. STRATIFORM PRECIP TO THE NORTH OF THE
COMPLEX ACROSS SW KS HAS COOLED/STABILIZED MUCH OF THE AREA. THE
MAIN EXCEPTION WILL BE THE FAR WEST AS CLOUDS EITHER HAVE CLEARED OR
ARE BEGINNING TO CLEAR. A SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY SITS OVER SE
COLORADO WITH AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TRAILING SOUTHEAST FROM THERE
INTO THE NORTHERN TX PANHANDLE. A PACIFIC FRONT TRAILS BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO WITH A DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM
THE FRONT SOUTH ACROSS WEST TX.

STORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN CO AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
ALONG THE FRONT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR TORNADOES WILL BE OVER SE
COLORADO/FAR SW KS WHERE SURFACE FLOW REMAINS BACKED AND DEWPOINTS
REMAIN HIGH. THIS WILL BE A BRIEF WINDOW AS STRONG LINEAR FORCING
ALONG THE FRONT WILL LIKELY DEVELOP A SQUALL LINE THAT WILL MARCH
EAST/NORTHEAST DURING THE EVENING ACROSS WESTERN KS. THE SEVERITY
OF THESE STORMS IS IN QUESTION AS THE LINE MOVES FARTHER EAST INTO
KS, BUT FORCED ASCENT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH MAY BE ABLE TO USE
WHATEVER CAPE IS AVAILABLE ABOVE THE SURFACE. SO WILL MAINTAIN
SEVERE MENTION IN ZONES WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING HAIL AND POSSIBLY
AN ISOLATED WIND GUST. AFTER LOOKING AT FFG VALUES, I DONT FEEL WE
ARE IN AS BAD A SHAPE FLOODING WISE AS OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH
AND EAST. IN ADDITION, THE STRONGEST UPPER DIVERGENCE SHOULD PASS
ACROSS NORTHWEST KS AND THE 20KM RUC CONFIRMS THIS, DEVELOPING THE
HEAVIER PRECIP TO OUR NORTH. SO WILL ONCE AGAIN NOT ISSUE A FLOOD
WATCH. I CANT RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED FLOODING, BUT I DONT THINK
IT WILL BE WIDESPREAD DUE TO THE SPEED OF MOVEMENT. THE GOING
FORECAST LOOKED QUITE REASONABLE AFTER A QUICK GLANCE AT THE 18Z NAM
SO WILL NOT CHANGE.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY LOOK WARM AND DRY FOR A CHANGE AS THE UPPER
TROUGH MOVES EAST AND THE PACIFIC FRONT MOVES THRU THE AREA.
TOMORROWS HIGHS WILL BE A FACTOR OF ELEVATION WITH THE DOWNSLOPE
COMPONENT OF THE WIND EXPECTED WITH COOLER READINGS NW TO WARMEST
READINGS AT P28.

DAYS 3-7...

FORECAST CHALLENGES CONTINUE TO BE HIGH TEMPERATURES, THEN ANY
RAINFALL ON THURSDAY. UPSLOPE OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO WESTERN
KANSAS ON THURSDAY MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS,
HOWEVER ANY WARMING AT 700 MB MAY PRECLUDE THIS CHANCE. FOR NOW WILL
CONTINUE WITH GOING FORECAST WITH A LOW POP TO COVER. AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO CENTRAL KANSAS INTO THE WEEKEND
WITH WARMING LAYER TEMPS. FORECAST 850 MB TEMPS STILL COOL ON THE
EAST SIDE OF UPPER RIDGE, SO WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S.

353 PM CDT (253 PM MDT) SUN JUN 12 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
DAY ALONG AND EAST OF A MEADE TO HAYS LINE. AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM
IS POSSIBLE AND WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL TO THE SIZE OF
QUARTERS. THESE STORMS COULD ALSO PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
AND PONDING ON ROADWAYS. SKIES HAVE CLEARED ACROSS FAR WESTERN
KANSAS WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE SOME. A LINE
OF STORMS HAS DEVELOPED AS A RESULT AND THIS WILL MOVE EAST FROM
SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS DURING THE
EVENING. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK THESE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE.
LARGE HAIL...WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH
AN ISOLATED TORNADO. THE GREATEST TORNADO THREAT IS ALONG AND WEST
OF A ROLLA TO SYRACUSE LINE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL COULD ALSO OCCUR WITH ANY OF THESE STORMS SO PEOPLE IN
AREAS THAT HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAIN COULD SEE
SOME MORE LOCALIZED FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY.

.SPOTTER ACTIVATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ACROSS
SOUTHWEST KANSAS.
