AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
227 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2008

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

WESTERN KANSAS WAS LOCATED AT THE NOSE OF ANOTHER JET STREAK THIS
AFTERNOON. THE EXIT REGION OF THIS JET INTERSECTED A COLD FRONT
OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS. CAPPING CONTINUES TO BE VERY WEAK AND
STORMS WERE ALREADY DEVELOPING JUST AFTER NOON TODAY IN NORTHEAST
COLORADO. THE MID LEVEL FLOW IS MORE NORTHWESTERLY TODAY THAN ON
PREVIOUS DAYS, SO THE STORMS WILL TEND TO PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD. IT
APPEARS THAT THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE STORMS WILL BE AROUND DODGE
CITY. THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL BE WEST OF A LINE FROM
MEADE TO WAKEENEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SFC BASED CAPES WERE
LOWER TODAY. THIS IS FAIRLY TYPICAL SINCE LEE TROUGHING TENDS TO
BE WEAKER WHEN THE FLOW IS MORE PARALLEL TO THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN ROCKIES. SFC WINDS TEND TO BE WEAKER AND DEWPOINTS LOWER.
HENCE, SBCAPE AND SHEAR ARE TYPICALLY LOWER. THE HIGHEST CAPE TENDS
TO BE CLOSER TO THE ROCKIES WHEN MOISTURE IS MARGINAL OWING TO
ELEVATED HEATING. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE FLOW IS MORE MERIDIONAL,
CAPPING TENDS TO BE WEAKER. THUS STORM CLUSTERS TEND TO MOVE SOUTH
AND STABILIZE THE BOUNDARY LAYER DEEP INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
AND WITH WEAK LEE TROUGHING, IT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO BRING RICH
MOISTURE BACK NORTHWARD.

THE MID TO UPPER FLOW PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY EVEN MORE BY SATURDAY.
ALSO, TONIGHTS MCS WILL STABILIZE THE BOUNDARY LAYER EVEN FURTHER.
SOME AIRMASS RECOVERY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN
COLORADO. A FEW STORMS COULD DRIFT OFF THE ELEVATED TERRAIN
SATURDAY EVENING AND WEAKEN. CHANCES FOR STORMS ARE NOT VERY HIGH
IN SW KS BUT THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE IN OUR FAR WEST/NW.

SUNDAY LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET AS THE UPPER FLOW WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
MERIDIONAL.

DAYS 3-7...

THE MEDIUM RANGE GFS AND ECMWF AS WELL AS THE CANADIAN MODELS SHOW A
CONTINUATION OF A MEAN POSITION OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHWEST AND ROCKIES THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.
THIS WILL KEEP NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTENT OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS WHICH WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON
AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. ON SUNDAY EVENING THE MODELS INDICATE A
SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF
THE CWA. WITH SOME MODEST INSTABILITY AND SHEAR THINK THAT THERE
WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THAT AREA...AT LEAST
INITIALLY...AND HAVE RAISED POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY. THE
CHANCE POPS ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT STILL LOOK REASONABLE
GIVEN THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH THE MODELS SHOW TRACKING THROUGH THE
UPPER RIDGE.

AFTER THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK AND ESPECIALLY TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND
THE GFS IS HINTING THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD EASTWARD INTO THE
CENTRAL CONUS.  THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEANS ARE ALSO INDICATING THIS
TREND BUT THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN TEND TO KEEP THE RIDGE AXIS FARTHER
WEST. OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAINTY THAT FAR OUT GIVEN THE
MODEL DIFFERENCES.  WILL MAINTAIN SOME LOW POPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MIGRATE SOUTHEAST ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH
LARGE HAIL AND 60 KNOT WIND GUSTS.  THE STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING
THROUGH THE KGCK/KDDC TAF SITES AROUND 20Z-23Z. OTHER STORMS COULD
AFFECT THE KHYS TAF SITE AFTER 23Z.
