AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
338 AM CST MON DEC 21 2009

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

NOT MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST THREE
PERIODS TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...HOWEVER THE FIRST SIGNS OF THE
ADVERTISED MAJOR WINTER STORM BEGIN TO SHOW UP 4TH PERIOD (TUES
NIGHT).

TODAY...WEAK SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL PREVAIL AS TROUGH AXIS
WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA SOUTHWARD
ALONG THE KS-CO BORDER. HIGH MOUNTAIN INDUCED CIRRIFORM CLOUD
COVER WILL HELP KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM SKY ROCKETING PER H85
TEMPS...SINCE MIXING WILL NOT BE ALL THAT DEEP. TONIGHT...DEEP
TROUGH WILL BEGIN DIGGING SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS WITH H5
LOW OVER SOUTHEASTERN OREGON BY 12Z TUES...WILL START TO SEE DEEP
LAYER FLOW SHIFT FROM WEST-NORTHWEST TO A WEST-SOUTHWEST
DIRECTION...PROMPTING AN DECREASE IN LEESIDE PRESSURES FROM
WYOMING TO EASTERN NEW MEXICO. WEAK SURFACE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION
FROM TODAYS WAVE WILL HAVE DRIFTED SOUTHEAST TO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA
BY 12Z TUES...WITH NORTHERLY TO NORTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL TAKING
OVER ACROSS THE DDC FA. WAS ORIGINALLY THINKING THAT THE NAM12 2M
TEMPS WERE A LITTLE TOO COOL GIVEN THE FACT IT APPEARED TO BE
HOLDING INTO OLD NON-EXISTENT SNOW COVER TOO LONG ACROSS NORTHERN
DDC FA AND POINTS NORTH FROM THERE. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE NEW 00Z
ECMWF RUN...AM NOW BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE NAM 2M TEMPS ARE
PROBABLY PRETTY CLOSE...AND THEREFORE. HIGHS MAY NOT ESCAPE THE
MID 30S NORTH OF A KGCK TO KDDC TO KGBD LINE TUESDAY. IF THAT IS
THE CASE...THEN IT WILL THROW A WRENCH INTO THE TUESDAY NIGHT
PRECIPITATION TYPE FORECAST.

TUESDAY NIGHT...LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION/UPSLOPE WILL INCREASE
DURING THE NIGHT...AND WILL CONTINUE THE NOTION OF INCREASED POPS
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS INITIAL MID LEVEL FORCING FOR ASCENT AND
DEEPER MID LEVEL MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE...MAINLY NORTH...WITH
THE INITIAL MID LEVEL WAVE AHEAD OF THE DEEP TROUGH. THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR ANYTHING ACCUMULATING IN THE TUES NIGHT PERIOD WILL
BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. SOUTH OF THERE...MOISTURE WILL BE
SHALLOW AND AM LOOKING FOR A DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE
RISK...MAINLY IN THE 06-12Z TUESDAY TIME FRAME. WILL INCLUDE THIS
IN WX GRIDS. -UMSCHEID

DAYS 3-7...

EFFORTS IN THE EXTENDED ARE FOCUSED ON THE POTENTIAL MAJOR WINTER
STORM IN THE WED NIGHT-THU PERIOD. GIVEN THE WORK TO BE DONE IN THAT
PERIOD, NO EFFORT WAS SPENT ON FRI AND BEYOND.

MODELS HAVE COME INTO EXCELLENT CONSENSUS REGARDING THE TRACK OF A
MAJOR WINTER STORM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS MID WEEK. THE ONLY ISSUE
IS ON TIMING AND THE MODEL DIFFERENCES THERE ARENT HUGE. THE
CONSENSUS TRACK AMONGST LITERALLY ALL THE MODELS TAKES A 500 MB LOW
FROM THE SW CONUS ACROSS THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS AND THEN EXPLODES IT
INTO A MAJOR STORM OVER EASTERN KANSAS/MISSOURI. THIS TRACK FAVORS
SNOWFALL AND ESPECIALLY HIGH WINDS OVER SW KANSAS. THE TIMING HAS
SLOWED SINCE YESTERDAY BUT THE MAJOR IMPACTS FOR SW KANSAS APPEAR TO
CLUSTER AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME FOR HOLIDAY TRAVEL...CHRISTMAS
EVE. MODEL QPFS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT WE PLACE MORE FAITH IN
THE TRACK OF THE LOW - AND THE LIKELY RESULT - THAN ANY PARTICULAR
QPF. THAT SAID, THE EC IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AND WOULD HAVE A FOOT OF
SNOW OVER MUCH OF SW KANSAS. GIVEN THE EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS AND
RESULTANT EXTREME WINDS FORECAST BY THE EC ACROSS SW KANSAS (RAW
OUTPUT HAS WIDESPREAD 70KT+ 850 WINDS AND 40KT+ AT THE SFC) EVEN A
LOW END SNOWFALL WILL EASILY RESULT IN BLIZZARD CONDS. THUS, GIVEN
THE LIKELY VERY HIGH IMPACT OF THIS STORM AND AFTER MUCH
CONSULTATION BOTH IN THIS OFFICE AND WITH NEIGHBORS, HAVE OPTED TO
HOIST A BLIZZARD WATCH FOR ALL OF SW KANSAS FOR WED NGT THROUGH
CHRISTMAS EVE...DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM AT
THIS POINT IS STILL BEYOND THE 4TH PERIOD.

BACKING UP TO WED, WITH THE SLOWER EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM, IT NOW
APPEARS THAT MORE WARM AIR WILL MOVE NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM
AND MUCH OF S-CENTRAL KS WILL SEE THE STORM ARRIVE AS RAIN ON WED.
HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS AND WX TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. THEN THE UPPER STORM
MOVES FROM THE TX PANHANDLE ACROSS OK WED NIGHT AND WITH COLD AIR
PLUNGING IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM OVER SW KS, PRECIP WILL TURN OVER TO
SNOW WED NIGHT. SNOW IS LIKELY ALL DAY THU WITH THE HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL LIKELY FOCUSED OVER OUR EASTERN HALF. WE DONT WANT TO
FOCUS ON THAT HOWEVER, SINCE VERY WINDY CONDS WILL OVERSPREAD ALL OF
SW KANSAS THU CREATING BLOWING, DRIFTING, AND WHITEOUT CONDS AND
RESULT IN MAJOR TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE TRUE EVEN
WITH LOW END SNOWFALL. SNOW OUGHT TO TAPER OFF THU NIGHT BUT
BLOWING, DRIFTING, AND DANGEROUS TRAVEL WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WELL
INTO CHRISTMAS DAY. HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES BEYOND THU NIGHT BUT
ASSUMING SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER WOULD EXPECT COLD WEATHER TO PERSIST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. -WRIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24 HRS. SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL SWITCH BACK TO NORTH BY TONIGHT AS A WEAK SFC PRESSURE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH SW KANSAS, BUT SPEEDS WILL GENERALLY STAY BELOW
12KT WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS DURING THE WELL MIXED DAYLIGHT HOURS.

TRAVEL ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN AS FREEZING
DRIZZLE LATER TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS BEFORE
DEEP COLD AIR ARRIVES CHANGING IT ALL OVER TO SNOW BY WEDNESDAY.
IT IS TOO EARLY TO SAY EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL FALL
BUT AT LEAST SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF
SOUTHWEST KANSAS WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THURSDAY, WHICH WILL
MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT. WHAT IS MORE CERTAIN IS THAT STRONG NORTH WINDS
WILL DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE THURSDAY AS COLD, ARCTIC AIR
MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS. THIS WILL CREATE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF
WHATEVER SNOW HAS FALLEN AND MAKE FOR CONTINUED TRAVEL
DIFFICULTIES. PERSONS WITH INTERESTS ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS,
ESPECIALLY HOLIDAY TRAVELERS, SHOULD STAY TUNED FOR UPDATED
FORECASTS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.
