Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 3:07 PM CDT, 9 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
307 PM CDT TUE AUG 25 2009

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH TODAYS FORECAST BUT THE MOST
DIFFICULT ARE POPS AND TEMPS FOR TOMORROW.

THE UPPER RIDGE HAS WEAKEND AS EXPECTED TODAY AS A STRONG SYSTEM
MOVES ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS. THE RIDGE AXIS IS NOW ORIENTED SW TO NE
FROM ROUGHLY WEST TEXAS TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. SW FLOW ALOFT HAS
DEVELOPED OVER FROM THE SRN ROCKIES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
ALLOWING A PLUME OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TO EDGE IN OVER WESTERN
KANSAS. BASED ON WATER VAPOR AND UPPER ANALYSIS THERE ARE SEVERAL
WAVES OF INTEREST IN THE FLOW. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE LOOKING IS
CURRENTLY SWIRLING ACROSS NRN ARIZONA. BUT ONE OF MORE IMMEDIATE
CONCERN SEEMS TO BE LOCATED NEAR THE RIGHT ENTRANCE TO A WEAK
40-50KT JETSTREAK NOW COMING INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL NM.

IN THE LOWER LEVELS, A SFC COLD REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE
DDC FA, STRETCHING FROM THE NRN EDGE OF A BROAD SFC LOW NEAR
CONCORDIA THROUGH GREAT BEND TO CLARK COUNTY AND INTO OKLAHOMA AS OF
25/20Z. SFC MOISTURE POOLING BEHIND THE FRONT HAS KEPT DEWPTS IN
THE L-M 60S OVER SW KS TODAY WHICH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO LOWER MAX
TEMPS VS YESTERDAY. DUE TO THE SW FLOW ALOFT THE FRONT HAS
MOVED LITTLE TODAY AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE UNTIL THE
MAIN TROF EJECTS OUT OF THE DESERT SW EARLY TOMORROW. THE FRONT IS
PRETTY WELL DEFINED UP THROUGH H85 AND H7 AS WELL AND IS TILTED
BACK TOWARD THE NW, WITH THE H7 FRONT LOCATED JUST NW OF THE DDC
FA AS OF 12Z. AS WEAK UPPER IMPULSES BEGIN TO COME OUT INTO
WESTERN KS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AM EXPECTING
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. IT COULD POP UP INVOF OF THE SFC FRONT AS
SUGGESTED BY THE NAM BUT THE RUC AND GFS WOULD HAVE MORE ACTIVITY
OVER THE NORTH, ALONG THE H7 BAROCLINIC ZONE. NEVERTHELESS, WILL
BE WATCHING FOR CONVECTION EVERYWHERE BUT THINK THE BEST CHANCE IS
NORTH AND WEST, UNDER THE MOISTURE PLUME, NR THE LL POOLING
MOISTURE, AND CLOSER TO THE EMERGING DYNAMICS. AS HAS BEEN
DISCUSSED FOR THE LAST SEVERAL SHIFTS, SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT VERY
LIKELY AS THERE IS LITTLE FLOW ALOFT AND THUS WEAK SHEAR. CANT
RULE OUT AND ISOLATED SVR WIND EVENT, BUT ORGANIZED SVR IS NOT
EXPECTED.

THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE (THE ONE CURRENTLY OVER SC NM)
KICKS OUT ACROSS KANSAS THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT PROVIDING AN
INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS, ESP ALONG THE H85-H7 BAROCLINIC
ZONE (NRN 2/3RDS OF DDC FA). THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE MAIN TROF
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW. THIS LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
BUT LOW IMPACT/LOW QPF EVENT. WOULDNT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN A
QUARTER INCH IN MOST PLACES BUT A FEW SPOTS MIGHT PICK UP A HALF
INCH, IF SHOWERS/STORMS PERSIST. TEMPS FOR TONIGHT SHOULD BE SIMILAR
TO LAST NIGHT BUT TOMORROWS HIGHS ARE PROVING TRICKY. THERE IS A
10-DEGREE SPREAD BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS MOS HIGHS TOMORROW. IT ALL
REALLY DEPENDS ON WHICH MODEL IS CORRECT WITH PRECIP - THE WETTER
(COOLER) NAM OR THE DRIER (WARMER) GFS. RIGHT NOW THE NAM IS
HANDLING TEMPS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT BETTER AND THUS WILL
LEAN TOWARD IT. HOWEVER, THE NAM HAS HIGHS ONLY IN THE 70S ACROSS
MUCH OF WRN KS SO I WONT GO ALL THE WAY, BUT RATHER SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE AND KEEP OUR LOW 80S FCST.

PRECIP MAY LINGER INTO THU AM BUT BY LATE MORNING THE FLOW TURNS
NORTHERLY ALOFT AND ALL THE SYNOPTIC FORCING SHIFTS SOUTH OF US.
HOWEVER, TEMPS ALOFT WILL BE CHILLY (+6 AT H7 AND -9 AT H5) AND
UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME STORMS OVER
ERN COLORADO. GIVEN THE MEAN NRLY FLOW, ANY STORMS SHOULD STAY
WEST OF THE BORDER BUT WILL KEEP SOME SLIGHT CHANCES GOING ALONG
THE KS/CO BORDER INTO THU AFTERNOON AS WELL. -WRIGHT

DAYS 3-7...

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE...FOR THE MOST PART...TO BE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN CONUS AND THE STRONG UPPER SYSTEM DIGGING INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION THIS WEEKEND.

THE 00Z UKMET/ECMWF AND CANADIAN ARE VERY SIMILAR AT 144 HOURS IN
SHOWING A CLOSED UPPER LOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE GREAT LAKES
WHEREAS THE GFS IS INDICATING A MORE PROGRESSIVE OPEN UPPER TROUGH
WHICH IT HAS BEEN HOLDING ON TO FOR SEVERAL RUNS. A LOOK AT THE GFS
ENSEMBLES SHOW THAT SOME MEMBERS ARE LEANING TOWARD A CLOSED UPPER
LOW HOWEVER.

AT ANY RATE...THE TREND TOWARD NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL RESULT
IN A COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS LATE
FRIDAY AND LAYING OUT FROM THE EASTERN SLOPES IN COLORADO BACK TO
THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY SHOULD BE
FAIRLY MILD IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT
AT SOME PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT AS WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVE OUT
ALONG THE MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES ACROSS
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. WILL CONTINUE WITH WHAT THE PREVIOUS SHIFT
HAD FOR SUNDAY AND ALSO THROW IN SOME SMALL POPS FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ON MONDAY.

EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD SEE A RETURN OF SOMEWHAT WARMER TEMPERATURES
AS THE UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO WARM
AROUND THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...

A WEAK COOL FRONT SITUATED FROM EAST OF HAYS TO SOUTHEAST OF DODGE
CITY WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY OOZE EAST AND SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
REST OF THE DAY.  SURFACE CONVERGENCE IS PRETTY WEAK AROUND THIS
FRONT BUT THERE COULD BE ENOUGH TO POP AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING
NORTHEAST OUT OF NEW MEXICO WILL HELP FOCUS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND WESTERN KANSAS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.  HARD TO PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHERE THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE BUT FOR NOW WILL HAVE A MENTION
OF CBS IN THE CLOUD GROUPS FOR THE TAFS AT DDC/GCK AND HAYS.
THE FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO HEAD SOUTH IN EARNEST LATER TONIGHT AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BEHIND IT.  LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING
BEHIND THE FRONT COULD RESULT IN MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CIGS
DEVELOPING BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
