AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
404 AM CDT THU APR 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

PAST EVENING UPPER AIR DATA IN COMBINATION WITH RECENT WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY REVEALS A STRONG UPPER WAVE WITH A 120+ KNOT UPPER JET ON
THE BACK SIDE DIGGING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COASTAL REGION.  ON
THE FRONT SIDE OF THIS WAVE A SMALLER 100 KNOT JET STREAK IS
BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WILL PLAY A FACTOR IN
OUR WEATHER TODAY. WELL AHEAD OF THIS WAVE A RELATIVELY FLAT BUT
PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN EXISTS OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN HALF OF
THE COUNTRY WITH TWO COUPLED JET STREAKS EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS FLOW
REGIME.  THE FIRST JET STREAK EXTENDS FROM THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS
INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST WHILE THE SECOND EXTENDS FROM THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE LATTER IS ASSOCIATED
WITH A SMALLER WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST OVER ARIZONA. IN THE MID
LEVELS...A DECENT 700-500MB BAROCLINIC ZONE EXTENDS OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS WITH 700MB TEMPERATURES VARYING FROM +5C AT DDC TO -6C AT
LBF. RECENT SUBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS ALONG WITH 850MB DATA
INDICATES A MODEST COLD FRONT NEARLY STALLED FROM WESTERN TEXAS INTO
THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY.  COOLER AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR IS
FOUND BEHIND THIS FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AS DEWPOINTS IN
THE 30S DOMINATE OVER WESTERN KANSAS WHILE VALUES IN THE LOWER TO
MID 50S ARE TRAPPED SOUTH OF THE FRONT OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO
CENTRAL TEXAS.  THE NAM, GFS AND ECMWF ALL INITIALIZED THESE
FEATURES WELL AND WILL OPT TOWARD A BLENDED APPROACH FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER WAVE ALONG OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
CONTINUE TO DIG ALONG THE WEST COAST THROUGH TODAY.  THIS WILL PUSH
THE WEAKER SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF ARIZONA
EARLY THIS MORNING...INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY LATE MORNING. AHEAD
OF THIS DISTURBANCE...THE COUPLED JET STRUCTURE OVER THE REGION THIS
MORNING IS INTERACTING WITH A DECENT 700-600MB BAROCLINIC ZONE TO
PRODUCE A MODEST AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS.
REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC INDICATES SOME ELEVATED RETURNS OVER THE
FORECAST AREA BUT WITH VERY DRY AIR BELOW 700MB...LITTLE IF ANY OF
THIS PRECIPITATION IS MAKING IT TO THE GROUND CURRENTLY.
NONETHELESS...CAN/T COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEW SPRINKLES SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 50 AND ISOLATED SHOWERS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 WHERE THE BETTER
FRONTOGENESIS WILL EXIST THROUGH MID MORNING.

ATTENTION THEN SHIFTS TOWARD LATER THIS AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING
AS THE FRONT STALLED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...BEGINS TO LIFT
NORTHWARD INTO FAR SOUTHERN KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.  THIS IS
IN RESPONSE TO THE INDIRECT CIRCULATION ON THE EXIT REGION OF THE
APPROACHING 100 KNOT JET STREAK.  MOISTURE WILL REMAIN VERY LIMITED
NORTH OF THE FRONT ACROSS WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER
40S. HOWEVER...WEAK CONDITIONAL INSTABILITY IN THE RANGE OF 300-400
J/KG OF MUCAPE WILL EXIST WITHIN A NARROW ZONE OF STEEP LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES JUST NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. THIS ALONG WITH THE LEFT
EXIT REGION OF THE JET PROVIDING FOR MODEST MID LEVEL ASCENT MAY
ALLOW ISOLATED CONVECTION TO INITIALLY TRIGGER OVER EASTERN COLORADO
THEN PROPAGATE INTO WESTERN KANSAS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON TO EVENING.
OVERALL COVERAGE WILL BE LOW AND STRONG TO SEVERE THREAT NEAR ZERO
GIVEN LOW INSTABILITY.

THIS LIFTING WARM FRONT WILL ALSO CREATE A VERY TIGHT THERMAL
GRADIENT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS TODAY. SOUTH OF
THE BOUNDARY...GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS ALONG WITH
DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE 20S AND DEEP THERMAL MIXING UP TO 750MB
WILL PRODUCE HIGHS NEAR 80 ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER.  NORTH OF THE
BOUNDARY...A COOLER EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND AND MORE LIMITED MIXING
WILL EXIST WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES OF +15 TO +20C SUPPORTING HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 60S TO 70S.

MOST OF TONIGHT WILL BE RATHER QUIET AS THE UPPER WAVE CONTINUES TO
DIG OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WHILE THE WARM FRONT STALLS OVER
SOUTHERN KANSAS.  A SMALL FRONTAL WAVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL
ADVECT DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK INTO WESTERN KANSAS NORTH OF
THE FRONT.  GIVEN MODEST EASTERLY UPSLOPE WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS AND THIS
MOISTURE ADVECTION... WIDESPREAD STRATUS WITH LOW CEILINGS AND AREAS
OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50. OTHERWISE...WITH PLENTY
OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED...A MILD NIGHT IS ANTICIPATED FOR MOST OF
WESTERN KANSAS WITH LOWS VARYING FROM THE 40S TO LOWER 50S.

THE UPPER PATTERN CHANGES LITTLE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE
UPPER CYCLONE REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN STATES WHILE BROAD UPPER
RIDGING TAKES HOLD OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY.  THE
DEEPENING LEE TROUGH IN ADVANCE OF THIS WAVE WILL PUSH THE WARM
FRONT NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN KANSAS TO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA BY LATE
AFTERNOON TO EVENING WHILE A DRYLINE DEVELOPS OVER CENTRAL KANSAS.
THIS WILL LEAVE MOST OF SOUTHWEST...SOUTH CENTRAL AND WEST CENTRAL
KANSAS UNDER A VERY DRY AND WARM AIRMASS BEHIND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OF
15 TO 25 KNOTS AND DEEP THERMAL MIXING. WILL AIM FOR HIGHS IN THE
MID 70S NEAR HAYS TO THE UPPER 80S AROUND LIBERAL.

DAYS 3-7...

STARTING SATURDAY AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WITH A DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW INTO THE PLAINS.
THIS WILL PUSH A DRYLINE INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN FA ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON WITH VERY DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS WEST OF THE DRYLINE.
DEEP MIXING IN THE WEST WILL ALLOW FOR WINDY CONDITIONS AND LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WITH SOME FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. MAY NEED A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IN THE WEST. SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN
THE EAST IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND EAST OF THE DRYLINE
WITH SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE. CAPES FORECAST AROUND 1000 J/KG WITH A
RETREATING DRYLINE AND GOOD LOW LEVEL SHEAR PROFILE WITH 500 MB
WINDS AROUND 65KTS WITH SOME ROTATING SUPERCELLS AND LARGE HAIL
POSSIBLE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM AND IN THE 80S TO AROUND
90. HAVE UPPED HIGHS AT LEAST INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

FOR SUNDAY THE UPPER LOW AND TROUGH MOVE INTO KANSAS WITH THE ECMWF
THE SLOWEST AND MORE SOUTHWEST. STILL COULD BE VERY WARM AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY AND HAVE UPPED HIGHS INTO THE 70S EAST BUT
COULD BE WARMER IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT. HOWEVER A PACIFIC COLD
FRONT MAY KEEP HIGH TEMPS A BIT COOLER. GFS ENSEMBLES AND CANADIAN
POINT TOWARD THE COOLER GFS OPERATIONAL RUN THAT HAS THE CLOSED LOW
INTO NORTHEASTERN KANSAS. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER IN
THE EAST AND RAIN SHOWERS IN THE WEST.

ON MONDAY LIGHT SHOWERS WILL END NORTH AND WEST AS THE UPPER LOW
MOVES EAST THEN SOME CLEARING IN THE AFTERNOON. UPPER RIDGING MOVES
INTO THE HIGH PLAINS BY AFTERNOON. HIGHS ON MONDAY LOOK TO BE IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S.

DIFFERING SOLUTIONS TURN UP ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH THE GFS
MUCH COLDER WITH A COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY WHILE THE ECMWF HAS HIGHER
MID LEVEL HEIGHTS AND WARMER AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH INTO THE WESTERN CONUS. WILL GO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SOLUTION
FOR NOW AND KEEP 70S IN THE FORECAST. THIS IS CLOSE TO NEIGHBOR
GRIDS. FOR WEDNESDAY THE COLD UPPER TROUGH IS PUSHING ACROSS THE
PLAINS ON THE GFS WHILE THE ECMWF HOLDS IT BACK INTO THE ROCKIES AND
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. HAVE RAISED HIGHS A BIT WITH LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY
WITH MODEL SOLUTIONS. WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW POPS FOR THUNDER IN THE
EAST ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY CLOSER TO THE FRONT.

OVERNIGHT LOWS LOOK TO BE IN THE 40S AND 50S THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS BRINGING MAINLY VIRGA SHOWERS TO THE FA
THIS MORNING WITH SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE. A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH
NORTHWARD BUT SHOULD STAY JUST SOUTH OF KGCK AND KDDC BY MID
AFTERNOON WITH EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE WINDS CONTINUING AND
VFR CONDITIONS. BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ANOTHER UPPER
LEVEL WAVE MOVES ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS WITH THE
BEST CHANCE NORTH IN THE KHYS AREA. EASTERLY UPSLOPE CONTINUES
TONIGHT WITH LOW CEILINGS AND SOME FOG MOVING INTO THE TERMINALS
AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH IFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL EXIST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS
A WARM FRONT STALLED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...LIFTS NORTHWARD
THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS.  INITIALLY FOR TODAY...THIS FRONT WILL PUSH
JUST NORTH OF THE KANSAS...OKLAHOMA BORDER WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 20S
AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH PRODUCING CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.  WILL OPT TO UPGRADE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
EXTREME SOUTHWEST KANSAS TO A RED FLAG WARNING GIVEN THIS SETUP.
OTHERWISE...THE FRONT WILL LIFT FURTHER NORTH ON FRIDAY WITH
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXISTING OVER MOST OF SOUTHWEST
KANSAS VIA VERY DRY AND WARM AIR ALONG WITH GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS.  THIS TREND OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
INTO SATURDAY AS WELL AND POSSIBLY EARLY ON SUNDAY.
