AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
347 PM CDT MON APR 12 2010

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES NORTHWARD AND
ENCOUNTERS DRYER AND SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE AIR. AT THIS TIME FEEL
THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE WITH ANY LINGERING STORMS ENDING AROUND...OR
SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. DID INCLUDE SOME SMALL 15-20 POP IN OUR
EXTREME SW CWA EARLY JUST IN CASE AN ISOLATED STORM MOVES INTO THE
AREA BEFORE DISSIPATING. WINDS EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER TONIGHT
THAN LAST NIGHT WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE LOWER LVLS MIXED ENOUGH WERE
FOG WILL NOT BE AN ISSUED EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. WINDS ALSO SHOULD
AID IN KEEPING TEMPS UP SOME AS WELL SO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH
LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID 50S STILL LOOKS ON TRACK SO NO MAJOR
ADJUSTMENTS PLANNED FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

ON TUESDAY SFC PRESSURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL ACROSS ERN CO AS A
5H TROF MOVES ACROSS THE ROCKIES. GUIDANCE SUGGESTING WINDS WELL
INTO THE WIND ADV CRITERIA RANGE FOR MUCH OF THE CWA WHICH LOOKS
REASONABLE BASED ON PROGGED 925-85H MEAN WND SPEEDS AND MIXED
LAYER WINDS SPEEDS BETWEEN 18TUE-00Z WED. GIVEN THIS WILL GO AHEAD
AN ISSUE A WIND ADV FOR MUCH OF THE CWA TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

BY 00Z WED GOOD BL-85H FGEN DEVELOPS ALONG A SFC FRONT IN NE/ERN
CO AS 7-5H LAPSE RATES INCREASE. SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM GETTING
WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA ALONG THIS BOUNDARY LATE TUESDAY. THIS FRONT,
AND ITS ASSOCIATED PCPN WILL THEN SPREAD INTO SW KANSAS TUESDAY
NIGHT AS THE 5H TROF MOVES ACROSS NE CO AND INTO INTO WRN
NEBRASKA. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SO
WILL FOLLOW THE GENERAL TREND OF THESE MODELS AND RAISE POPS INTO
THE HIGH CHC/LIKELY CAT AS THIS FRONT MOVES INTO SW KS LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WED. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ABUNDANT 85H-7H
MOISTURE IS STILL PROGGED TO BE STILL LOCATED ACROSS SW KS AS A
SOUTHERN BRANCH UPPER LVL S/W TROF STARTS TO APPROACH THE AREA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. GIVEN THIS NEXT UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHING THE
AREA ALONG WITH RICH MOISTURE PRESENT ACROSS THE REGION HAVE
DECIDED TO KEEP CHC POPS GOING FOR MUCH OF THE CWA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION DECIDED TO LOWER HIGHS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON GIVEN THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND PCPN CHANCES.

DAYS 3-7...

THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF PERIODS OF POTENTIAL PRECIPITATION OR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA PRIMARILY FOCUSED
ON WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY - AND AS WELL AGAIN ON
SATURDAY WITH MUCH LESS CONFIDENCE.

THE UPPER LOW NOW OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL BE POSITIONED OVER
EASTERN MONTANA BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND ADVANCE INTO SOUTHERN CANADA BY
WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT, A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL BE INFLUENCING THE
WEATHER INTO THE HIGH PLAINS REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE
NUMERICAL MODEL OUTPUT SUGGESTS DECENT 850 MB LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION CONVERGENCE JUST AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY AS IT WEAKENS AND
UNDERGOES FRONTOLYSIS ON THURSDAY, SO WE'VE GONE WITH LOW POPS
SIMILAR TO WHAT THE NAM HAS SUGGESTED WHICH PRESENTS THE BEST
OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN AND
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY AND CONTINUED SOME
MINOR CHANCES INTO FRIDAY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. WITH
TIME AS SATURDAY APPROACHES THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT
FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO  THE CENTRAL PLAINS OR UPPER MIDWEST.
A QUASI STATIONARY BOUNDARY SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF
THIS COOLER DRIER AIRMASS, AND BECOME THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THE WEEKEND. THE OPERATIONAL MODELS INDICATE A LARGE DEGREE OF
UNCERTAINTY IN WHERE THIS BOUNDARY MAY BE BEST LOCATED, RANGING FROM
NEBRASKA TO OKLAHOMA. THE POPS FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WILL BE MUCH
BETTER EVALUATED IN THE COMING DAYS, BUT A COOLING TREND WITH HIGHS
IN THE 70S LATE WEEK, TO PROBABLY NO BETTER THAN THE 60S IS
WARRANTED. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER ON EITHER OF THE DAYS COULD
POSSIBLY KEEP HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOUR PERIOD, AS MUCH
DEEP MIXING OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND DRY ADVECTION, EVEN WITH
DECOUPLING WINDS TONIGHT THE THREAT OF FOG DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE
LOW. THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS HOWEVER SHOULD BE EVEN STRONGER FROM
THE SOUTH ON TUESDAY AND WE'VE INCREASED WIND SPEEDS TO AROUND
25G35KTS AT ALL TERMINALS BY 16 UTC.
