Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 3:39 AM CDT, 2 hours 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
339 AM CDT FRI JUN 12 2009

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

SHORT TERM FORECAST CHALLENGES CENTER AROUND ON-GOING SEVERE WEATHER
RIGHT NOW.

THE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS WEVE HAD MUCH OF THE NIGHT NOW SEEM TO BE
TRYING TO COALESCE INTO A MCS AS THEY MOVE INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF
MY CWA. AREA OF CONVECTION IS NOW EAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR HAYS TO
NORTH OF LIBERAL. THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY IS NOW CLUSTERED AROUND AND
SSE OF DODGE CITY WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER OVER PAWNEE AND RUSH COUNTY.
GIVEN CURRENT COURSE AND SPEED, EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE
INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES AND THEN EXIT BY
AROUND 18Z. AM ALSO WATCHING CONVECTION THAT FLARED OVER NE
COLORADO AND IS NOW MOVING INTO NW KS. THIS COULD CLIP OUR
NORTHERN COUNTIES AS IT PASSES. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THE SOUTHERN
EDGE OF THE CONVECTION WEAKENING SO WILL BUMP UP POPS A LITTLE
MORE IN THE NORTH FOR THIS AM.

ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE, SW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND WILL FOR THE ENTIRE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN LEE TROFINESS DOWNSTREAM FROM THE SPINE OF THE ROCKIES AND
DRAW CONTINUED UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS KANSAS INTO COLORADO.
THUS, THE MOIST REGIME WEVE SEEN FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL
CONTINUE. CONVECTION COULD BOIL ANYWHERE LEFT-OVER BOUNDARIES CREATE
CONVERGENCE BUT ON THE LARGER SCALE, WILL HAVE ONLY TO WATCH FOR
UPPER TRIGGERS TO KICK OFF MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION.

WITH ALL THE ACTIVITY GOING ON TONIGHT, I THINK WE WILL STAY MIXED
ENOUGH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT TO KEEP FROM FOGGING IN
LIKE THE LAST FEW MORNINGS. WE SHOULD SEE THINGS CLEAR OUT FROM THE
WEST THIS MORNING, FOLLOWED BY A DAY WITH SOME SUNSHINE. THINK OUR
FORECAST HIGHS LOOK FINE IN THIS UPSLOPE REGIME SO WILL STAY THE
COURSE. FOR TONIGHT...ANOTHER WAVE MOVES UP THROUGH THE SW FLOW WITH
ANOTHER POTENTIAL ROUND OF CONVECTION TONIGHT. THIS WAVE IS FURTHER
NORTH ON BOTH THE GFS AND NAM BUT THE GFS DOES BRING THE ACTIVITY
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DODGE CITY. WILL KEEP THE SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE
POPS WE HAVE GOING AND LET DAY SHIFT EVALUATE FURTHER.

FOR SATURDAY, YET ANOTHER WAVE MOVES UP THROUGH THE SW FLOW AND THIS
TIME, IT ARRIVES MORE DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND THEN CONTINUES
INTO THE NIGHT. WHAT IS NOTICEABLE ABOUT SATURDAYS SCENARIO IS THE
DEEPENING OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. H85 TDS SURGE ABOVE 15C FOR
MUCH OF SW KS WITH 18C+ TDS MOVING IN SAT NIGHT. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE
PLENTY OF JUICE TO FUEL WHATEVER CONVECTION GETS GOING. THINK THE
GOING BROAD-BRUSHED POPS HAVE IT COVERED. -WRIGHT

DAYS 3-7...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH KEEPING A
MEAN TROUGH IN THE SOUTHWEST CONUS AND STRONG MID AND UPPER FLOW
INTO THE CENTRAL AND HIGH PLAINS INTO TUESDAY. THEN RIDGING AND
WARMING RETURN ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH 850MB TEMPS AROUND 30C
BY THURSDAY. SEVERE WEATHER COULD BE A CONCERN NEAR ANY FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES IN WESTERN KANSAS FROM SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH GOOD MID
AND UPPER LEVEL WIND SUPPORT AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND 60S. THEN
SEVERE THREAT LOOKS TO EASE AS STRONGER UPPER WINDS MOVE NORTH OF
THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS LOOK TO BE IN
THE 60S WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S SUNDAY AND MONDAY, NEAR 90 ON TUESDAY,
AND THE MID TO UPPER 90S ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. COULD BREAK 100
ON THURSDAY IN SOME AREA IF 850MB TEMPS VERIFY AROUND 30 TO 33C.

&&

.AVIATION...

CURRENT MCS WILL MOVE EAST BY 12Z WITH SOME IFR CONDITIONS THIS
MORNING THEN IMPROVING TO VFR IN THE AFTERNOON. SOME IFR CONDITIONS
MAY RETURN BY SATURDAY MORNING WITH MODELS SHOWING HIGH LOW LEVEL RH.
