AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
309 PM CDT WED MAY 5 2010

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THE MAIN FORECAST DECISION FOR THE FIRST 60 HOURS WILL BE HOW FAR
SOUTH TO TAKE POPS THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM EASTERN WYOMING SOUTH INTO
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE IS DOMINATING THE WEATHER ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS
TODAY.  GOOD NORTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH HAVE MIXED DOWN FROM
APPROXIMATELY THE 850MB, BUT EXPECT AN EASTERLY SHIFT BEFORE LATE
AFTERNOON AND REDUCTION IN SPEED INTO THE 10 TO 20 MPH RANGE AS THE
HIGH CONTINUES TO SETTLE IN AND SLACKEN THE GRADIENT.  WINDS AFTER
06Z SHOULD BE AT 10MPH OR LESS, AND COUPLED WITH A SLIGHT UPSLOPE
FLOW, EXPECT MIN T'S THURSDAY MORNING TO BE RANGE FROM THE MID 40S
IN THE NORTHWESTERN CWA TO NEAR 50F IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA.  A
WARM FRONT WILL SURGE NORTH THROUGH NEARLY ALL OF THE CWA ON
THURSDAY, BRINGING A VERY WARM DAY.  OUR SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES
COULD FLIRT WITH 90F FOR MAX T'S, BUT WILL PLAY IT MORE
CONSERVATIVELY WITH UPPER 80S FOR FORECAST MAX TEMPS IN MY SOUTH,
MID 80S IN MY CENTRAL ZONES, AND NEAR 80F IN THE NORTH NEAR HYS.  A
COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING THE NORTHERN CWA LATE IN THE DAY
THURSDAY, SO 20 POPS WILL EXIST AFTER 21Z.

THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED UPPER WAVE WILL CROSS EACH OTHER TO OUR
NORTHEAST THURSDAY NIGHT, BUT WILL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH
OTHER THURSDAY NIGHT BASICALLY NORTH OF I-70.  HAVE KEPT WITH THE
30 TO 40 POPS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, BUT AT THIS TIME DO NOT
PLAN ON MENTIONING ANY SEVERE WORDING.  THE CAPE FORECAST FIELDS ARE
CENTERING TO THE EAST AND NORTH OF OUR AREA.  FOR QPF FIELD, HAVE
PUT UP TO 0.15 INCH IN ELLIS COUNTY, WITH LESSER AMOUNTS SOUTH OF
THERE.  NO POPS OR QPF SOUTH OF A SYRACUSE TO DODGE TO PRATT LINE,
THINKING THE FRONT WILL BE PRIMARY FOCUS BOUNDARY AND WILL SLIDE
MORE EAST THAN SOUTH WITH THE UPPER WESTERLY FLOW.

ONCE THE FRONT SLIDES EAST, THERE COULD BE A SLUDGE OF COLDER AIR
SLIDE SOUTH THROUGH THE HIGH PLAINS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.  THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT COULD BE QUITE SUBSTANTIAL BEHIND THE FRONT
THURSDAY NIGHT, COUPLED WITH THE DOWNWARD TRANSPORT OF MOMENTUM,
RESULTING IN VERY STRONG NORTH WINDS.  FURTHER, MAX TEMPS FOR FRIDAY
WERE DROPPED 20 TO 25F DEGREES FROM THURSDAY'S. CLOUDS WILL HANG
AROUND MUCH OF THE DAY FRIDAY AS WELL, HELPING TO HOLD DOWN ANY SOLAR
HEATING. HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S IN THE NORTH AND WEST
TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTH.  THE ECMWF 1000-850MB THICKNESS FIELD
SUPPORTS THIS TYPE OF GRADIENT AND TEMP FORECAST FRIDAY, WITH 1355M
IN THE NORTH, 1360M IN THE WEST, RANGING UP TO 1372M IN THE SOUTH
ZONES. ALL POPS WERE DROPPED FOR FRIDAY, AS THE UPPER WAVE WILL BE
WELL TO OUR EAST BY THEN.

DAYS 3-7...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A GENERAL ZONAL FLOW ALOFT PREVAILING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF
PAINT A SMATTERING OF QPF ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA SUNDAY,
ESPECIALLY EAST, AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY SLIDES FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS TO OUR EAST. THIS WILL RETURN A SOUTHEASTERLY
UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE FA ALONG WITH MODEST INCREASED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE. AS A SERIES OF H5 VORT MAXES PASS THROUGH THE FLOW ALOFT
ALONG WITH INCREASING UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE, IT WILL PRESENT THE
POSSIBILITY FOR PRECIP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FA, AGAIN MORE READILY
IN OUR EAST WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE MORE AVAILABLE. WITH THE LACK OF
OTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL DYNAMIC SUPPORT, THE LIKELIHOOD IS MORE FOR
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN OR RAIN SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER
POSSIBLE.

MEANWHILE, A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH ASHORE INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNDAY NIGHT AND
TRACK EAST ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION MONDAY KEEPING THE CHANCES
FOR PRECIP ALIVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN KANSAS.
THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY IN THE FINER DETAILS, BUT ALL THE MODELS
SHOW A DRYLINE SETTING UP GENERALLY FROM SOUTHWEST KANSAS SOUTH INTO
THE PANHANDLES JUST AS A STRONG +100KT JET IS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO
AND ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF WESTERN
KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SOME POSSIBLY STRONG TO SEVERE.
40 POPS SEEM REASONABLE SUNDAY BUT WILL RAISE UP TO 40 POPS ACROSS
OUR MORE EASTERN ZONES AS WELL LATE MONDAY WITH INCREASING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE MODELS FOR CONVECTION.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDES SOUTHEAST FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO OUR EAST
CREATING A SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. THE
ECMWF AND CANADIAN SHOW A SLIGHTLY WARMER SOLUTION TO HIGHS ON
SATURDAY THAN THE NAM AND GFS. MEMBERS OF THE FORMER POINT TO H85
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM JUST BELOW 10C ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA TO JUST ABOVE 10C IN OUR WEST. THE NAM AND GFS ARE SLIGHTLY
COOLER WITH H85 TEMPERATURES JUST BELOW 10C ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA.
REGARDLESS, WILL NEED TO LOWER HIGHS A COUPLE DEGREES OR SO
SATURDAY. HIGHS WILL CLIMB LITTLE IF AT ALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA
SUNDAY AS AN EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES RESULTING IN INCREASED
CLOUDINESS AND POTENTIAL AREAS OF PRECIP, PARTICULARLY ACROSS OUR
EASTERN ZONES. THE WARMING TREND SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MONDAY AS
DRIER AIR BEGINS TO EDGE EASTWARD INTO WESTERN KANSAS BEHIND A
DRYLINE. OTHER THAN SATURDAY'S HIGHS, PLAN TO MAKE ONLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION...

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS
DOWN INTO EASTERN KANSAS TONIGHT WHILE A LEE SIDE TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP IN EASTERN COLORADO. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY 10 TO 15KT THIS EVENING.
