AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
307 AM CDT WED JUN 29 2011

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

850-700MB ANALYSIS THIS MORNING INDICATING SOME WARM AND DRIER
AIR WAS LOCATED JUST WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA AT 00Z THURSDAY.
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY WITH SHIFTING THIS WARMER AIR
OUT INTO WESTERN KANSAS LATER TODAY AS AN UPPER HIGH MOVES OUT OF
THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS AND APPROACHES SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. NAM
AND GFS INDICATING A DEEP MIXED LAYER ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS TODAY BASED FROM THESE SOUNDINGS STILL
RANGING FROM 105 TO AROUND 110 DEGREES. IN ADDITION GIVEN THIS
MIXING HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO FAVOR THE LOWER MIXED LAYER/BOUNDARY
LAYER DEWPOINTS OVER THE HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINT GUIDANCE. AS A
RESULT AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE A LITTLE LOWER THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT FOR ALL BUT SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS WHICH
CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE RED FLAG WARNING THAT IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT.
THESE LOWER DEWPOINTS ALSO HAVE LOWERED THE APPARENT TEMPERATURES
THIS AFTERNOON TO JUST BELOW 105F AS WELL FOR ALL BUT PARTS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. IN THESE LOCATIONS THE HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE
ANTICIPATED TO BRIEFLY REACH 105-108 THIS AFTERNOON SO AFTER GOOD
COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES HAVE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD
AND ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR A FEW COUNTIES IN OUR FAR SOUTHEAST.

ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE 500MB UPPER LOW WHICH WAS LOCATED OFF THE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AT 00Z THURSDAY IS EXPECTED WEAKEN AS IT
CROSSES THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. MODELS THIS MORNING REMAIN IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM EXITING THE ROCKIES AND CROSSING
THE NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM
MOVES OUT INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARDS NEBRASKA. ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS
ON THURSDAY THE WARM AIR WILL REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE WITH MODEL
SOUNDINGS AND 850-700MB TEMPERATURES SUGGESTING HIGHS VERY SIMILAR
TO TEMPERATURES TODAY. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE THE NORTH/NORTHWEST
WHERE MAX TEMPERATURES COULD BE EVEN A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN
TODAY GIVEN THAT THE WARM THERMAL TROUGH/LEE SURFACE TROUGH WILL
BE MOVING OUT INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS BY LATE DAY. GIVEN THESE
TEMPERATURES AND SIMILAR DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

DAYS 3-7...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY AND INTO THE
FAR NORTHERN PLAINS BY EARLY FRIDAY BRINGING AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF WESTERN KANSAS FRIDAY NIGHT.
AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO PUSH INTO NORTHWESTERN KANSAS
BY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE STALLING OUT, POSSIBLY AS FAR SOUTH AS WEST
CENTRAL KANSAS. AGAIN, THE BULK OF THE DYNAMIC SUPPORT ALOFT,
INCLUDING A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET, WILL REMAIN WELL OFF TO OUR
NORTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AVAILABILITY OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO LOOK MODEST AT BEST WITH ALL MODELS
SHOWING H85 DEWPOINTS REMAINING BELOW 10C ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA ALONG WITH A LACK OF INSTABILITY IN THE LOWER AND MID
LEVELS. REGARDLESS, THE TIMING AND POSITIONING OF THE FRONT IN
CONJUNCTION WITH MAX DAYTIME HEATING COULD BE ENOUGH TO INITIATE
SOME ELEVATED STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN THIRD OF THE
FORECAST AREA. WILL KEEP PRIMARILY SLIGHT POPS GOING GENERALLY FOR
FRIDAY EVENING. FAIRLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN
KANSAS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST BEGINS TO REDEVELOP WESTWARD TOWARD THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST.

ABOVE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY EVEN THOUGH A COLD FRONT IS PROJECTED TO
PUSH JUST INTO NORTH AND NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THE GFS,
GEM, AND ECMWF SHOW THE FRONT JUST NUDGING INTO THE CWA WITH H85
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 30S(C) POOLING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. ONLY THE
NAM TRIES TO BRING THE FRONT SLIGHTLY FURTHER INTO THE CWA, BUT NOT
BY MUCH. AS A RESULT, LOOK FOR HIGHS NEAR TO JUST ABOVE 100F ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH JUST MID TO UPPER 90S(F) STILL
POSSIBLE IN OUR FAR NORTH AND NORTHWEST DEPENDING AND HOW FAR THE
FRONT REACHES. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL
THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT BEGINS TO
REDEVELOP WESTWARD AS MENTIONED BEFORE AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY LIFTS BACK NORTH WELL OUT OF THE AREA. SHOULD
EXPECT HIGHS MAINLY NEAR TO JUST ABOVE 100F ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH LATE THIS
EVENING. A LEE SIDE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST NEAR AND
ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER TODAY AND TONIGHT. AS A RESULT, SOUTH TO
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS 15 TO 25KT WILL PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
