AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
1233 PM CDT FRI OCT 5 2012

...UPDATED FOR AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 326 AM CDT FRI OCT 5 2012

MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS TODAY
DUE TO A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS AND
INCREASED MOISTURE IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
SOME CLEAR SKIES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE KS/OK BORDER IN THE
AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR BECOMES PRESENT ACROSS THIS AREA. A RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING INTO THE AREA AT THE SURFACE
WHICH WILL ALLOW NORTHEASTERLY WINDS TO CONTINUE ACROSS WESTERN
KANSAS. HIGHS TODAY ARE FORECASTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 50S
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE KS/OK BORDER.

AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND PV ANOMALY WILL BE MOVING DOWN FROM
CENTRAL CANADA AND THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TONIGHT AND BE POSITIONED
ACROSS NEBRASKA BY SATURDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE, THE CENTER OF A
STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BE MOVING SOUTH
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS THEN INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BY SATURDAY MORNING. THE RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE TO THE
EAST SHIFTING THE WINDS TO MORE OF AN EASTERLY DIRECTION OVERNIGHT.
AS THE AFOREMENTIONED PV ANOMALY APPROACHES MID TO LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE EVEN FURTHER ACROSS FAR WESTERN KANSAS WITH MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED IN THIS AREA AFTER SUNSET. A FEW SHOWERS WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR WESTERN KANSAS CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT AND
CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. I HAVE KEPT THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION IN THIS AREA. AS TEMPERATURES DROP, A FEW PLACES
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS AND THE KS/CO BORDER COULD SEE SNOW
MIXING WITH RAIN. LOWS BY SATURDAY MORNING ARE FORECASTED TO RANGE
FROM AROUND FREEZING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS AND THE KS/CO BORDER
TO LOWER 40S ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. I HAVE INCLUDED A FREEZE
WATCH FOR AREAS THAT LOOK TO DROP TO AROUND FREEZING.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT FRI OCT 5 2012

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE BE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING
THE POSITION OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER NORTH AMERICA AS WELL AS
THE TRACK AND SPEED OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS THROUGH THE BASE OF THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH. ONE SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING OUT OVER THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS ON SATURDAY. SCATTERED AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN OR RAIN MIXED
WITH SNOW WILL BE AROUND SATURDAY MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS FROM THE
GFS AND ECMWF ARE NOT OVERLY SATURATED SO THINK THAT THE CHANCE POPS
OVER FAR WEST CENTRAL KANSAS IN THE MORNING LOOK GOOD. THE MORNING
HOURS WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION AS THE AREA WILL BE
UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER JET. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WILL BE DIMINISHING DURING THE DAY AS THE AXIS OF THE UPPER
JET MOVE SOUTH.

CHILLY TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE IN STORE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE
MODELS ARE PROGGING 850 MB TEMPERATURES IN THE 0C TO -2C RANGE. THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THE ATMOSPHERE DRY OUT. ANOTHER WEAK
SHORTWAVE WILL BE APPROACHING THE CENTRAL PLAINS FROM THE NORTHWEST.
THE MODELS SHOW AN ABUNDANCE OF UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON
OVERNIGHT LOWS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES DEPENDING
ON HOW MUCH HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE.
WILL KEEP THE FREEZE WATCH INTACT DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY.

THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL HELP MODERATE TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE
60S AND 70S THROUGH THE WEEK. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ONSHORE OVER THE WESTERN
STATES EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THEN EJECTING OUT TOWARD THE CENTRAL
PLAINS LATER IN THE WEEK. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER IN HOW THE WAVE
MOVES OUT BUT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION SHOULD RETURN TO SOUTHWEST
KANSAS AROUND THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1225 PM CDT FRI OCT 5 2012

AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM WESTERN KANSAS AND
INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON SATURDAY. MODEL FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A NEARLY SATURATED MID LEVEL LAYER WITH OVERCAST
CONDITIONS AROUND 050-070 INTO SATURDAY. MAY HAVE A FEW BREAKS
WITH SOME SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. EAST TO NORTHEASTERLY WINDS
AROUND 10-15KT WILL CONTINUE WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
