What forecasters said that day

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 20, 4:40 PM CDT, 2 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 4:40 PM CDT, 2 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
440 PM CDT SUN JUN 20 2010

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

A PERSISTENT UPPER HIGH PRESSURE CENTER IS POSITIONED ACROSS EASTERN
TEXAS AND INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, WHILE WEAK JET SEGMENTS
CONTINUE TO FILTER OFF INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS REGION. THE 12 UTC
MAP ANALYSIS INDICATED A BAROCLINIC WAVE MAKING ITS WAY EASTWARD
FROM THE  PACIFIC NORTHWEST MARKED BY A 500 MB COLD POOL OF -15 TO
-20 DEGREES C FROM AROUND UTAH TO OREGON.

OF CONCERN  FOR OUT FORECAST AREA IS THE COMBINATIONS OF HEAT AND
HEAT INDEX AS WELL AS CHANCES FOR  CONVECTION FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. THERE WAS AN IMPRESSIVE AXIS OF ENHANCED DEW POINT VALUES FROM
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI THROUGH AROUND THE NORTH PLATTE AREA AT THE 850
MB LEVEL ON THE ORDER OF 15-18 DEG C THIS MORNING, AS SURFACE
ANALYSIS BY LATE AFTERNOON STILL INDICATED 68-72 DEGREE DEW POINTS
IN OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES, ESPECIALLY FROM AROUND HAYS TO STAFFORD
COUNTY. THESE HIGH DEW POINTS WITH TEMPERATURES PUSHING TOWARD THE
UPPER 90S WILL PRODUCE EASILY 100-105 DEGREE HEAT INDICES, AND
MONDAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR IN THIS REGARD.

FOR  THIS EVENING, 88D INDICATES A REFLECTIVITY FINELINE DRIFTING
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES ASSOCIATED WITH A LINE OF TOWERING
CUMULUS FROM AROUND GOVE COUNTY THROUGH SCOTT CITY SOUTHEAST TO
SPRINGFIELD COLORADO. THE MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE A DEGREE OR TWO
COOLER TODAY, BUT THE BULK OF THE HIGHER CAPE IS BEHIND THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHWEST KANSAS. WE WILL BRING IN 15-18 POPS
THROUGH 5-7 PM, AND MAINTAIN LOW 20-30 POPS ACROSS THESE AREA IN
THE  EARLY EVENING HOURS. WITH LOWERING LFC AND LOWERING LCLS NORTH
ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE, A SUPERCELL TORNADO THREAT IS POSSIBLE, AS
WELL AND LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THROUGH THIS ZONE.

A SUBTROPICAL JET ADVANCING AHEAD OF THE WESTERN BAROCLINIC WAVE
WILL BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE AREA OM MONDAY AND ESPECIALLY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MUCH INFLUENCE THE JET AXIS WILL
HAVE ON MONDAY, AS THE SURFACE FRONT DOES MAKE ITS WAY A BIT FATHER
SOUTH, AND HIGHER DEW POINT MOISTURE POOLING IN OUR WESTERN COUNTIES
IS LIKELY, AND OPERATIONAL MODELS BEHAVE SIMILAR TO THE LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS IN OVERTURNING INSTABILITY TO THE TUNE OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS
OF AN INCH QPF. THE LARGER IMPACT LOOKS MORE IMPRESSIVE WITH MCS
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE MOISTURE AXIS ACROSS NEBRASKA INTO NORTH EAST
KANSAS DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

RUSSELL

DAYS 3-7...

IN THE EXTENDED THE FIRST ISSUE WILL BE THE S/WV TROUGH LIFTING OUT
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS WHICH WILL HELP DROP THE COLD FRONT INTO MY
CWA.  EVEN BEFORE THAT ANOTHER MCS WILL TRAVERSE AROUND THE EDGE OF
THE UPPER RIDGE AND SHOULD CLIP MY NORTHERN CWA LATE TUESDAY.
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL SURELY BE FARTHER SOUTH.  THE PROBLEM IN THE
FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY WILL BE HOW FAR THE FRONT OR OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL BE.  I'M BANKING ON THE FRONT TO STILL BE NORTHWEST
OF MY SE CWA SO THAT TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY BE VERY
HOT IN THIS AREA OF THE STATE, ESPECIALLY NEAR MEDICINE LODGE.  SFC
BASED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG OR JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE
FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY.  MEANWHILE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL
TRANSPORT VERY MOIST AIR INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF COLORADO SO THAT
ADDITIONAL ELEVATED STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO MY CWA
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

I WILL CARRY POPS INTO THURSDAY AS WELL BEFORE SFC PRESSURES LOWER
AGAIN IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS ALLOWING FOR THE FRONT TO LIFT
NORTHWARD.

&&

.AVIATION...

AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF OUR AREA
NEAR A SFC BOUNDARY AND HAS BUBBLED INTO DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS.
THESE STORMS WILL CAUSE SOME AVIATION CONCERNS FROM NEAR SYRACUSE TO
HAYS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
