Area forecast discussion, May 25, 3:13 PM CDT, 7 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
313 PM CDT TUE MAY 25 2010

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES/SEVERITY MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THE TONIGHT
PERIOD...WITH QUIETER WEATHER FOLLOWING WEDNEDAY AND THURSDAY.

AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWED A WEAK, BUT IMPORTANT SHORTWAVE
TROUGH APPROACHING NORTHERN NEW MEXICO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
WAS FAVORING LOW LEVEL CYCLOGENESIS...ALBEIT WEAK...ACROSS
SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND ADJACENT WESTERN OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AND FAR
SOUTHWEST KANSAS. SURFACE ANALYSIS AND LOCALLY GENERATED SHORT-
FUSE COMPOSITE ARE FAVORING FAR WESTERN COUNTIES FOR SURFACE-BASED
CONVECTIVE INITIATION WHERE CONVERGENCE IS STRONGEST, LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE STEEPER, AND SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE MOST
PRONOUNCED...TO GO ALONG WITH 59 TO 61 DEGREE DEWPOINTS. DEEP
LAYER SHEAR FAVORS SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS...AND IT IS EXPECTED
THAT A FEW OF THESE STORMS WILL IMPACT THE SOUTHWESTERN
THIRD...PERHAPS HALF...OF THE DDC FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE MID TO
LATE EVENING HOUR. ELSEWHERE...GIVEN THE WEAK CAPPING WITH H7
TEMPS AROUND +6 TO +8C...THINK THAT OTHER STORMS MAY ALSO FORM
ALONG I-70 CORRIDOR IN WEAK SURFACE CONFLUENT FLOW PATTERN ALONG
THE OLD FRONT. 50 POPS WILL BE IN THE FORECAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN THIRD OF THE FA WITH 30-40 POPS
ELSEWHERE. THE GREATEST SEVERE WX THREAT SHOULD WANE DURING THE
03-05Z TIME FRAME.

REGARDING TOMORROW...LOW POPS...10 TO 15...WILL BE IN THE FORECAST
WITH STILL A WEAK CAP WITH FAIRLY COOL 700MB TEMPS...BUT LOW LEVEL
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WILL BE NON-EXISTENT FOR THE MOST PART WITH
BROAD RIDGING IN THE LOW LEVEL ACROSS THE PLAINS. WINDS WILL
BECOME UNIFORMLY OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AS PRESSURES BEGIN TO LOWER
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT LARGE-
SCALE TROUGH. THURSDAY IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME STORY, ALTHOUGH IT
WILL LIKELY BE WARMER WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH
RISING THICKNESSES .  -UMSCHEID

DAYS 3-7...

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND THICKNESS GRADIENT WILL LIFT NORTHWARD
AFTER WEDNESDAY ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT TO DEVELOP AND
GENERALLY LIGHT BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS. ABUNDANT INSOLATION WILL LEAD
TO WARM DAYS IN THE MID TO PERHAPS UPPER 80S, BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE
ARRIVES FOR THE WEEKEND PERIOD. THE LARGE UPPER LOW NOW DROPPING
SOUTH OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST WILL DEVELOP A LARGE BROAD
TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES BY LATE IN THE WEEK.
SATURDAY APPEARS UNSTABLE  WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT UPPER FORCING, SO ANY
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS MAY  BE CLOSELY  TIED TO SURFACE CONVERGENCE
AND MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN, WITH THE RIGHT  REAR QUAD OF THE JET
STILL LAGGING A BIT WEST. A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER
PATTERN MAY BE SEEN BY SUNDAY AS A CENTRAL PLAINS SURFACE BOUNDARY
DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS AND THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF THE UPPER
JET MAX BEGINS TO HAVE MORE INFLUENCE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS WITH
INCREASED BULK SHEAR AND STRONGER DIVERGENCE ALOFT. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL ALSO BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA BY
MONDAY, BUT AN OVERALL ZONAL PATTERN ALOFT THAT IS INDICATED BY THE
MODELS FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR
DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS WITH A EASTWARD MOVING DRYLINE IN
THE AFTERNOONS, AND AMPLE BOUNDARY LAYER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE QUICKLY
RETURNING FROM BEHIND THE WASHED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

&&

.AVIATION...

DEVELOPING CONVECTION ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHWEST KANSAS WILL EXPAND
EASTWARD THIS EVENING, BRINGING A FAIRLY GOOD CONFIDENCE CHANCE FOR
AT LEAST VCTS AT OUR WESTERN MOST TERMINALS. LOW IFR CEILINGS AND
IFR VSBYS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH ANY NEAR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION AS
WELL AS VARIABLE DIRECTION GUSTY WINDS.
