What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 9, 3:28 PM CDT, 6 hours 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 3:28 PM CDT, 6 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
328 PM CDT TUE AUG 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE HOW FAR WEST INTO OUR CWA WILL THE
COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS BE TONIGHT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 70KT UPPER
LEVEL JET WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD FROM NEBRASKA AND INTO CENTRAL AND
PARTS OF WESTERN KANSAS OVERNIGHT. NEW MODELS INCLUDING THE
MESOSCALE MODELS SHOW MORE OF AN EASTWARD TREND OF THE ATTENDANT
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THROUGH OUR CWA AND MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM
DIGHTON TO JETMORE AND PRATT. HOWEVER OUTFLOW WINDS MAY BE ABLE TO
KICK OFF MORE THUNDERSTORMS INTO OUR WEST FA OVERNIGHT SO WILL
GRADIENT POPS NEAR 80 AT HAYS TO 20 AT ELKHART. THE HRRR AND WRF
NMM HAVE THE COMPLEX MOVING INTO THE NORTH FA FROM WAKEENEY TO
HAYS BEFORE MIDNIGHT THEN MOVING MAINLY EAST OF THE AREA DURING
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND COLD FRONT WILL BE
MOVING WITH THIS COMPLEX AND SWITCH WINDS TO THE EAST AND
NORTHEAST. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
MAINLY STRONG WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL UP TO
QUARTERS AND GOLFBALLS. IF THE CURRENT SUPERCELLS HOLD TOGETHER IN
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA THERE IS ENOUGH SHEAR AND INSTABILITY TO
PRODUCE UP TO TENNIS BALL SIZE HAIL IN THE WAKEENEY AND HAYS AREA.
BY THE TIME THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE TOWARD DODGE CITY THEY MAY
FALL APART AND JUST PRODUCE SOME STRONG WINDS. LOOK FOR INCREASING
CLOUDS TONIGHT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.

FOR WEDNESDAY THE NAM HAS A VERY STRONG COLD POOL OF HIGH PRESSURE
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH 850MB TEMPS ONLY AROUND 14C WHILE THE
GFS HAS AROUND 19C. WILL TREND TOWARDS THE GFS AS THE NAM TENDS TO
BE TOO COLD WITH THESE SYSTEMS. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD BECOME
PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS FROM NEAR 80 NORTH TO NEAR
90 SOUTH ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER. FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT SOME STRATUS
MAY FORM WITH SKIES BECOMING CLOUDY AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS WILL BE
AROUND 60 AT HAYS TO THE LOW TO MID 60S ELSEWHERE.

ON THURSDAY NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW CONTINUES WITH WINDS BECOME
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WITH GOOD MOISTURE RETURNING. HOWEVER A STRONG
CAPPING INVERSION SHOULD INHIBIT ANY THUNDERSTORMS FROM DEVELOPING.
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 80S NORTH TO AROUND 90 SOUTH.

DAYS 3-7...

UNFORTUNATELY THE 12Z ECMWF NEVER CAME VIA THE SBN/AWIPS. SO THE
FORECAST IS A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE, 12Z GFS, AND 12Z CONSALL, AND
12Z BCCONSMOS PER BETTER VERIFICATION VIA BOISE VERIFY. OTHERWISE,
THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS BEST MARKED BY NEAR TO SLIGHT ABOVE
TEMPERATURES AND SOME DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. MY PERIOD BEGINS
00Z FRIDAY. HAVE KEPT SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS WITH SOME ADJUSTMENT TO
THE EAST THURSDAY EVENING. WARM AIR ADVECTION AND LIFT ALONG A WEAK
850 HPA LL JET SHOULD CAUSE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE LATE
EVENING AS WELL AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS
KANSAS EMBEDDED IN THE UPPER LEVEL WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.  BY
FRIDAY, AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES WILL SEND A SURFACE FRONT ACROSS KANSAS. HIGHEST POPS
WERE LEFT TO THE SE AND E GIVEN THIS UPPER LEVEL WNW/NW FLOW
TRAJECTORY OF YET ANOTHER MCS TYPE EVENT. IN ADDITION, MOST OF SW
KANSAS SHOULD BE IN THE CONFLUENT SIDE OF THE RIGHT EXIT REGION OF
250 HPA JET STREAK AND THUS THE REASONING FOR POP ADJUSTMENTS
TOWARDS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. HIGHS FRIDAY WILL BE THE
WARMEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWFA IN THE WARM SECTOR AND WELL SOUTH
OF THE FRONTAL/CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY. HIGHS IN THE MID 90S LOOK
REASONABLE THERE FOLLOWING THE AFOREMENTIONED MOS GUIDANCE. UPPER
80S LOOK ON PAR ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. ON SATURDAY THE
UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE AMPLIFIED AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO DIG. THIS KIND OF SYNOPTIC PATTERN
WILL FAVOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
COLORADO WITH THUNDERSTORMS DRIFTING INTO KANSAS BY EVENING TO LATE
EVENING. AS A RESULT, HAVE KEPT SLIGHT POPS (DID NOT WANT TO GO TO
CHANCE GIVEN THE USUAL UNCERTAINTIES) ACROSS MY WESTERN COUNTIES.
500 HPA HEIGHTS DO INCREASE SUNDAY TO AROUND 591 DM BUT STILL THINK
SLIGHT POPS ARE STILL WARRANTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO THE WEST AND
NORTH. TEMPERATURES DURING THE WEEKEND WILL BE ALMOST "NICE" - UPPER
80S TO LOW 90S. "NICE" OF COURSE IS A RELATIVE TERM GIVEN HOW
UNBEARABLY HOT AND DRY SUMMER OF 2011 HAS BEEN. TEMPERATURES
CONTINUE TO WARM  NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FLATTENS OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH FLOW BECOMING LESS NORTHWESTERLY ALOFT AND
WITH ANY JET STREAK DYNAMICS SHIFTED WELL EAST OF THE CWFA. -SUGDEN

&&

.AVIATION...

THE FORECAST ITEM OF CONCERN FOR THE 18Z TAFS IS A MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT WILL MOVE OUT OF WESTERN NEBRASKA AND INTO
CENTRAL KANSAS BY MIDNIGHT. HAVE FOLLOWED THE 12Z WRF, 17Z HRRR, AND
TO A LESSER EXTENT THE 12Z NAM FOR AS FAR AS CONVECTIVE TIMING. KEPT
CB GROUPS AND VCTS FOR KHYS BUT LATEST THINKING PER ABOVE NWP OUTPUT
IS THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN EAST OF KDDC AND KGCK. OTHERWISE,
VFR CIGS AND SOUTHEASTERLY TO SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 17 KNOTS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
OVC015 FOR KHYS BY TOMORROW MORNING BUT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO REDUCE CIGS TO SUCH CATEGORY. WILL DEFER TO 00Z/06Z
TAFS FOR FUTURE ADJUSTMENTS. -SUGDEN

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...SOUTH
CENTRAL...SOUTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY MOVE INTO FAR WESTERN KANSAS EARLY THIS
EVENING FROM EASTERN COLORADO. A LARGER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE INTO WEST CENTRAL KANSAS NEAR WAKEENEY AND HAYS BY EARLY
THIS EVENING AND PROGRESS SOUTH INTO MUCH OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS OVERNIGHT. SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING
WINDS OVER 70 MPH AND HAIL UP TO GOLFBALL AND HALF DOLLAR SIZE
MAINLY NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM DIGHTON TO JETMORE AND PRATT. EVEN
LARGER SIZE HAIL UP TO TENNIS BALL SIZE MAY MOVE INTO THE HAYS
AREA AROUND 7 OR 8 PM IF THE THUNDERSTORMS HOLD TOGETHER AS THEY
MOVE OUT OF NEBRASKA. OTHER AREAS TO THE WEST OF DIGHTON AND
PRATT MAY ONLY SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

AS ANOTHER FRONT PUSHES SOUTH ON FRIDAY...THERE WILL BE AN
INCREASED CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. AMPLE
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO GO ALONG WITH MODERATE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL SUPPORT LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

STORM SPOTTERS MAY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING AND AFTER MIDNIGHT
MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM DIGHTON TO JETMORE AND PRATT.
