The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 13, 2:54 PM MDT, 7 hours 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 2:54 PM MDT, 7 hours 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
354 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2009

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

ANOTHER MCS IS PROBABLE TO MOVE THROUGH MY CWA TONIGHT, WITH
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE A CHALLENGE TO PREDICT FOR BOTH DAYS.

ACTIVE SOUTHWARD SHIFTED BAROCLINIC STORM TRACK CONTINUES ACROSS THE
LOWER 48 STATES, TIED TO A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN ALONG THE NORTH
AMERICAN WEST COAST. THE LATTER IS A RESPONSE PARTLY LINKED TO
TROPICAL CONVECTIVE FORCING SHIFTING INTO THE WEST CENTRAL PACIFIC
OCEAN. UPPER TROPOSPHERIC WIND SPEEDS WITH RECENT WEST COAST TROUGHS
HAVE BEEN IN EXCESS OF 60M/S AT TIMES, MEANING SUBTROPICAL JET
ANOMALIES IN EXCESS OF 25M/S.

SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL JET STREAKS ARE ROTATING AROUND THE CURRENT
TROUGH, AND PER UA PLOTS AT 1200 UTC 13 JUNE ITS AXIS WAS FROM
WASHINGTON STATE INTO BAJA CALIFORNIA. SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE FEATURES THAT WILL IMPACT THE PLAINS
INCLUDING MY CWA THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE FIRST
ONE WAS TAKING THE NORTHEASTWARD TURN INTO SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO BY
MID AFTERNOON. ALL MODELS GENERALLY SHOW THIS SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO
BE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS BY ABOUT 1800 UTC SUNDAY.

NOW COME THE DETAILS FOR TONIGHTS MCS. I AM CONCERNED THAT CLUSTERS
OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE MAY DISRUPT MOISTURE
TRANSPORT. THAT TYPED, THERE IS STILL GOOD TRANSPORT DIRECTED TOWARD
THE HIGHER TERRAIN, AND MORE THAN ENOUGH DYNAMICS TO SUPPORT AN MCS
ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS TONIGHT. INITIATION IS ALREADY OCCURRING ALONG
THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE, AND THIS IS LIKELY TO ORGANIZE AND MOVE
INTO MY CWA NO LATER THAN 0600 UTC SUNDAY. THE NAM, RUC AND A LOCAL
VERSION OF THE ARW RUN BY THE ICT WFO SUPPORT THIS NOTION. HENCE I
CONTINUED THE HIGH POPS AND MODERATE QPF FROM THE PREVIOUS SHIFT.
I KEPT THE QPF CONSERVATIVE PER CONCERN FROM THE STORMS FARTHER
SOUTH. THE QPF MAY NEED TO BE RAISED SIGNIFICANTLY AS CONVECTIVE
TRENDS BECOME CLEAR DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. VERTICAL SHEAR
PROFILES CERTAINLY SUPPORT A WIND AND LARGE HAIL EVENT, PERHAPS
SIMILAR TO 48 HOURS AGO.

SUNDAY-MONDAY, ANOTHER JET STREAK WILL CROSS THE ROCKIES LATE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. HENCE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING
MAY SEE A REPEAT EVENT. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL OBVIOUSLY
DEPEND ON HOW SOON SKIES CLEAR. I SUGGESTED A GRADIENT FROM
NORTHEAST-SOUTHWEST WITH THE COOLEST AROUND HAYS HAVING HIGHS IN THE
MID 70S. THE STATIONARY FRONT CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE CWA IS LIKELY
TO PROGRESS INTO KANSAS AS A WARM FRONT DURING MONDAY. THIS SUGGESTS
THAT WHILE MAXES MAY NOT GET ABOVE 80F OVER THE NORTHERN COUNTIES,
HIGHS ON MONDAY FOR LOCATIONS SUCH AS LIBERAL AND ELKHART COULD PUSH
100F. I TRIED TO INDICATE THAT POSSIBILITY IN THE GRIDS.

DAYS 3-7...

THE GENERAL UPPER AIR PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS WILL UNDERGO A
TRANSITION FROM A DEEP WESTERN TROUGH, WHICH WILL EJECT A SMALLER
SHORTWAVE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AS A LARGE UPPER HIGH REMAINS
ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES.

A MID-LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS ACCOMPANIED BY FAIRLY STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR, WHICH WILL REMAIN
TO BE THE FOCUS AREA FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE EPISODES. MODELS HINT
AT THESE SITUATIONS BEST AROUND MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING AS WELL AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

MUCH WARMER 850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE AREA AS
EARLY  AS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 25
DEGREES C UNDER THE MEAN RIDGE THAT SHOULD BE SETTING UP THROUGH THE
WESTERN PLAINS. THIS SHOULD PUSH THE MCS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FOCUS
FARTHER NORTHWARD INTO NEBRASKA OR THE DAKOTAS AND MIDWEST STATES
BRIEFLY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BEFORE A COLD FRONT DIVES THROUGH THE
UPPER MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY, WHICH MAY TRANSLATE INTO A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT NEAR OR IN CENTRAL KANSAS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

WITH CONSIDERATIONS FOR A POSSIBLE MCS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN KANSAS LATE MONDAY, WE HAVE INCREASED
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LIKELY ACROSS SOME OF OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN
COUNTIES. THE WARMER AIR SURGING NORTHWARD FROM THE PANHANDLES AND
EASTERN NEW MEXICO BY WEDNESDAY WOULD ALLOW FOR A FEW DAYS OF
TEMPERATURES IN THE 90+ DEGREE RANGE, POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 100 IN THE
DRIEST OF CONDITIONS. A HEAVY MCS EVENT JUST PRIOR COULD
MOISTEN THE SURFACE IN ADVANCE OF THE WARM AIR AND KEEP TEMPERATURES
FROM RISING HIGHER THAN THE LOW 90S FOR A PART OR ALL OF THIS
TIME FRAME.

&&

.AVIATION...

WE EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT MCS TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA OVERNIGHT, WITH REASONABLY HIGH CONFIDENCE OF STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS FOR ALL TERMINALS, BEGINNING AS EARLY AS AROUND 06 UTC
SUNDAY, AND ENDING AS LATE AS AROUND 12 UTC SUNDAY.
