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 Sep 16, 6:26 PM CDT, 3 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 16, 6:26 PM CDT, 3 hours 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 626 PM CDT FRI SEP 16 2011 .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAF ISSUANCE...THE TIMING OF LOW CIGS RETURNING TONIGHT WILL BE THE MAIN DECISION MAKER. AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FLOWS UPSLOPE, AND WITH INCREASING DEWPOINTS, THIS COULD LEAD TO WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HYS AND DDC SITE AFTER 08Z OR SO. LIFR CIGS ARE MORE LIKELY AT HYS THAN AND DDC AND GCK. MAY INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP AROUND 12Z IN DDC AND GCK FOR LIFR/VLIFR CONDITIONS FOR A SHORT TIME SATURDAY MORNING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE TRAPPED BENEATH A MORNING INVERSION. && PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CDT FRI SEP 16 2011/ .SYNOPSIS... TWO BRANCHES OF THE JET STREAM CONTINUED TO SHAPE THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN THIS MORNING. ON THE 16/12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS...THE SOUTHERN BRANCH JET EXTENDED FROM SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND INTO THE OZARKS REGION. THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET WAS MORE AMPLIFIED IN NATURE WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT JET IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST SOUTH OF ALASKA...WITH THE EXIT REGION OF THIS JET APPROACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST. THE OTHER IMPORTANT JET STREAK IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH EXTENDED FROM IDAHO NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHERN CANADIAN PRAIRIES...LEADING TO SUBSTANTIAL DOWNSLOPE WARMING ACROSS MONTANA. 850MB TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS REVEALED A SHARP GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DOWNSLOPE WARM PLUME OVER MONTANA AND THE REMNANT COLD AIRMASS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS (+19C AT GLASGOW, MT VERSUS 0C AT BISMARCK, ND). THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE REMNANT COLD AIRMASS WAS ERODING FARTHER SOUTH AS WELL...AS COULD BE SEEN ON 1KM VISIBLE SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. THE WARM FRONT AT THE SURFACE WAS BEGINNING TO PUSH NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST KANSAS. RICH GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE HAD POOLED ACROSS MUCH OF TEXAS WITH WIDESPREAD +14 TO +16C DEWPOINTS AT 850MB OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF TEXAS FROM EL PASO IN THE WEST TO CORPUS CHRISTI ALONG THE GULF COAST. AS OF THE MID-AFTERNOON ANALYSIS...OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS FIELDS SHOW A MESO-BETA REGION OF ENHANCED SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY (~1500+ J/KG SBCAPE) DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHWESTER TEXAS PANHANDLE THROUGH CIMARRON COUNTY, OK NORTHWARD INTO BACA COUNTY, CO. 1945Z 1KM VIS IMAGERY SHOWS ENHANCED CUMULUS GROWTH IN THIS AREA WITH A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES NOTED AS OF THE LATEST LIGHTNING PLOT WEST OF CAMPO, CO. EAST OF THIS INSTABILITY AXIS...COOLER TEMPERATURES WERE FOUND...BUT LOW STRATUS WAS ERODING WITH QUITE A FEW BREAKS NOTED ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS SOUTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER. -UMSCHEID && .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... TONIGHT...THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST...AND EVENTUALLY CENTRAL/SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS LATE TONIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ENTERS THE ROCKIES. EARLY TO MID EVENING SURFACE-BASED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP IN THE MENTIONED INSTABILITY AXIS AND AFFECT AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF ARKANSAS RIVER AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 THROUGH THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS. IT IS STILL UNCLEAR HOW THIS CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE LATER IN THE EVENING...WHETHER IT DISSIPATES ENTIRELY IN FAVOR OF NEW ELEVATED CONVECTION FARTHER TO THE NORTHEAST AFTER MIDNIGHT...OR IT GROWS UPSCALE AND FOSTERS ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE GROWTH THROUGH THE NIGHT. EITHER WAY...WILL HAVE 40-50 POPS GOING FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 283. THE STRONGEST STORMS OVERNIGHT WILL PRODUCE SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL GIVEN THE INFLUX OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY PRESENT (1000-1500 J/KG MUCAPE). OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...LOW STRATUS AND AREAS OF FOG WILL DEVELOP AS BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY INCREASE FARTHER NORTHEAST. SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BE UNDERWAY BY DAYBREAK...BUT MOST LIKELY EAST OR JUST EXITING THE DDC FA IN CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS. THIS WILL LEAVE A MESOSCALE COLD POOL IN ITS WAKE WITH ENHANCED EASTERLY/NORTHEASTERLY WINDS PARTICULARLY NORTHEASTERN FORECAST AREA (I.E. AROUND HAYS). THIS WILL ONLY SERVE TO ENHANCE BAROCLINIC POTENTIAL FOR LATER ON IN THE DAY AS A WARM DOWNSLOPE PLUME SPREADS NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS. WILL BE GOING WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA GENERALLY SOUTH OF A SCOTT CITY TO NESS CITY TO LARNED LINE. FARTHER NORTH AROUND HAYS...HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S IS THE BEST FORECAST. STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE WILL DEVELOP LATE IN THE DAY...ALONG WITH SBCAPE OF 2000 TO 2400 J/KG ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE DDC FA. INTENSE SURFACE-BASED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO FORM...MOST LIKELY AT THE INTERSECTION OF REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY(IES) AND DRYLINE WHICH IS EXPECTED TO SHARPEN BY 21Z OR SO. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS FORECAST TO BE QUITE SUPPORTIVE OF WELL-ORGANIZED CONVECTION...INCLUDING A SUPERCELL STORM OR TWO...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE. WHILE THIS SEVERE WEATHER SETUP DOES NOT LOOK ALL THAT FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOGENESIS GIVEN MARGINAL 0-1KM AGL SHEAR THROUGH 00Z...AND DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES IN THE 60-62 DEGREE RANGE (VERSUS MID TO UPPER 60S)...WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THE TORNADO POTENTIAL EARLY-MID EVENING HOURS FOR ANY STORM THAT STILL REMAINS IN THE DDC FORECAST AREA. BY MID-EVENING MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS WITH SUBSIDENCE TAKING HOLD ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THE SURFACE LOW...HOWEVER...WILL NOT BE MOVING EAST VERY FAST THROUGH THE NIGHT...SO THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY OF REDEVELOPMENT LATE IN THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT ALONG THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT. SUNDAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH AND EAST DURING THE DAY...DRIER AIR WILL GREET SOUTHWEST KANSAS WITH VERY SLIGHT COOLING OCCURRING AS WELL IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. CLEARING SKIES WILL RESULT WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN THAT OF SATURDAY IN THE WARM SECTOR. WILL MAINTAIN 15-20 POPS ACROSS BARBER COUNTY FOR THE OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT THE FRONT IS SLOW ENOUGH TO PROMOTE AFTERNOON REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS...BUT ANYTHING THAT FORMS IN BARBER COUNTY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD QUICKLY MOVE OFF INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA/FAR SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS. -UMSCHEID DAYS 3-7... THE 12 UTC MODEL SUITE JUST ADDED TO THE CONFUSION AS TO HOW THE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN WILL EVOLVE EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN PROBLEMS CENTER AROUND THE INTENSITY AND SPEED OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH PROGRESSING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST, WHETHER PART OF THE SYSTEM WILL CLOSE OFF, AND WHERE THIS CLOSED LOW WOULD DEVELOP IF AT ALL. BUT ALL OF THE PRIMARY MODEL SOLUTIONS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ENSEMBLES WOULD LEAD TO DRY PATTERN FOR SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS AFTER TUESDAY NIGHT. THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHETHER HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY INTO SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE 60S TO PERHAPS LOWER 70S PER OPERATIONAL GFS, OR THE LOWER 80S TO LOWER 90S PER ECMWF. GIVEN THAT ABOUT HALF OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE WARMER LIKE THE ECMWF, WE DECIDED TO HEDGE TOWARD A WARMER SOLUTION. THE ONLY CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM AS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHES ON TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT. IF THE SYSTEM IS MORE ROBUST AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST LIKE THE GFS, THEN THERE WOULD BE A DECENT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. IF THE SYSTEM IS FURTHER NORTHEAST, THEN ONLY ISOLATED STORMS WOULD BE EXPECTED. FOR NOW, 20-30% STORM CHANCES WERE MAINTAINED. .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
