AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
253 AM CDT SUN JUN 1 2008

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

NAM AND GFS BOTH ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PCPN DEVELOPING EARLY
THIS MORNING AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT JUST NORTH OF OUR MID LVL
BAROCLINIC ZONE WHERE GOOD WAA AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WAS PRESENT.
ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MODELS WERE THE EXACT LOCATION OF
THIS BAROCLINIC ZONE. NAM WAS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS
AND GIVEN THE LARGE AREA OF CONVECTION THAT WAS MOVING EAST ACROSS
ERN CO EARLIER THIS MORNING WILL BE LEANING TOWARDS THE SLIGHTLY
FURTHER SOUTH SOLUTION. WITH THIS IN MIND LOOKS LIKE THE CURRENT
FORECAST IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH HIGHEST POPS IN THE HYS REGION
TOWARDS 12Z MONDAY. AS FOR THIS MORNING WILL USE A BLEND OF NAM
AND RADAR TRENDS FOR TRACK OF STORMS THROUGH 15Z.

GIVEN PCPN AND CLOUD COVER EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS AM A
LITTLE CONCERNED WITH HIGHS TODAY AND MONDAY IN THE NORTH. BASED
ON 85H TEMPS AND MODEL SOUNDING IT APPEARS THAT THE COOLER MAV MAY
BE CLOSER THAN THE WARM MET. FURTHER SOUTH WHERE THE CHANCE OF
PCPN IS LESS LIKELY AND EXPECTING MORE SUN WILL TREND TOWARDS
THOSE WARMER MET HIGHS.

DAYS 3-7...

SHORT TERM WEATHER OCCUPIED MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT SHIFT. THE
TUE-THU TIME FRAME WILL BE VERY ACTIVE ACROSS THE PLAINS, BUT
EXACTLY WHERE IS VERY UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT. PATTERN RECOGNITION
POINTS TO THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS IN THE EASTERN PART OF
OUR FCST AREA FROM P28 TO HYS WHERE THE DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL RESIDE IN THIS RATHER PROGRESSIVE PATTERN. THE MODELS DIFFER
SOMEWHAT ON THE TIMING OF THE INDIVIDUAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS. THE
ECMWF IS THE ONLY MODEL SHOWING A ROBUST SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS ON TUESDAY SO WE WILL NOT BUY
INTO THIS SOLUTION TONIGHT. BUT WITH A FRONT STILL AROUND ON
TUESDAY, STORMS CANT BE RULED OUT. A MUCH STRONGER BUT PROGRESSIVE
TROUGH WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. THE BEST CHANCE OF
STORMS WILL BE IN OUR EAST, WITH NEGLIGIBLE CHANCES IN OUR FAR SW.
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CROSS THE PLAINS BY THURSDAY. BUT
AGAIN THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE IN OUR FAR
EASTERN COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES WERE NOT TWEAKED VERY MUCH AND LOOKED
REASONABLE.

&&

.AVIATION...

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AT GCK/DDC/HYS THROUGH 14Z. ANY LOW CLOUD
COVER WILL BURN OFF BY MIDMORNING AT GCK/DDC. UNTIL THEN, CEILINGS
WILL PROBABLY BE NO WORSE THAN MVFR OUTSIDE OF STORMS. BUT GCK
COULD DROP BRIEFLY TO IFR CEILINGS AROUND 12Z.
