AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
148 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

...UPDATED SHORT TERM AND FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1203 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

AT 12Z WEDNESDAY A 100-110KT 250MB JET EXTENDED FROM EASTERN
IDAHO INTO EASTERN MONTANA. A 500MB UPPER LOW/TROUGH WAS LOCATED
IN SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. SATELLITE LOOP AND 500-300MB UPPER AIR
MAPS INDICATING SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE WAS MOVING ACROSS WESTERN
COLORADO INTO PORTIONS OF EASTERN WYOMING/WESTERN NEBRASKA ALONG
WITH AT LEAST TWO IDENTIFIABLE SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS. ONE OF
THESE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHS WERE MOVING INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA
EARLIER THIS MORNING WITH A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES AND LIGHT
PRECIPITATION OCCURRING AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS
IN THIS AREA INDICATING DRY AIR IN PLACE IN THE LOWER LEVELS WITH
CLOUD BASES AROUND THE 550MB LEVEL. A SURFACE COLD FRONT AT 12Z
WEDNESDAY EXTENDED FROM SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHEAST
COLORADO AND 3-5MB 3 HOURLY PRESSURE RISES WERE OBSERVED BEHIND
THIS FRONT. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WARM 850-700MB
TEMPERATURES WERE PRESENT. 850MB TEMPERATURES AT 12Z WERE MAINLY
IN THE 30-33C RANGE AND 700MB TEMPERATURES VARIED FROM 18 TO 20C.
THE 20C 700MB TEMPERATURE WAS REPORTED AT NORTH PLATTE, NE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TOMORROW)
ISSUED AT 129 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

MODELS TODAY REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE COLD FRONT DROPPING
SOUTH INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS LATE TODAY WHERE IT WILL BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT THE WARM
850-700MB AIR WILL SETTLE INTO WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
AN SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH, WHICH WAS LOCATED IN
WESTERN COLORADO EARLIER TODAY, IS FORECAST TO MOVE OUT IN
NORTHEAST COLORADO AND NORTHWEST KANSAS EARLY TONIGHT. THE
FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS NEAR THIS FRONT AND AHEAD OF THE SUBTLE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE APPEARS SIMILAR TO THE PROXIMITY SOUNDING FROM EARLIER
TODAY ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA WHERE SOME HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS
OCCURRED. GIVEN THIS ALONG WITH THE EXPECTED STORM MOTION..ANY
HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORM WHICH DOES DEVELOP SHOULD OCCUR AND STAY IN
NORTHWEST KANSAS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FRONT AND TRACK OF
THE SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND ADJUST MENTION OF HIGH BASED
THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER SOUTH IF NEEDED LATER AFTERNOON.

BY EARLY THURSDAY BOTH THE NAM AND GFS BEGIN TO MOVE THE UPPER
HIGH EAST INTO MISSOURI WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SOME TROPICAL
MOISTURE IN WESTERN COLORADO TO SHIFT EAST TOWARDS WESTERN KANSAS.
ALSO NOTICING LESS OF A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT OF THE FLOW THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. THE NAM AND GFS DO INDICATE A NET 24 HOUR 850MB
TEMPERATURE CHANGE AT 00Z FRIDAY OF AROUND 2C COOLER ACROSS
WESTERN KANSAS. THE 700MB TEMPERATURE CHANGE WILL BE AROUND 1C COOLER.
BASED ON THESE 850-700MB TEMPERATURE TRENDS IT WILL BE ANOTHER DAY
OF +105 DEGREE TEMPERATURES BUT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE AS HOT AS THEY WERE TODAY (WEDNESDAY). AFTERNOON
HIGHS ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 106 TO NEAR
110. AM CONTINUING TO STRUGGLE WITH AFTERNOON 2M DEWPOINTS ACROSS
WESTERN KANSAS. AT THIS TIME ONLY THE NAM APPEARS TO BE CLOSE TO
REALITY BASED ON THE LAST FEW DAYS. WILL THEREFORE BEGIN TO
TREND TOWARDS THESE LOWER AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS AND GIVEN THIS
SOLUTION ONLY PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
WILL REACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA BRIEFLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WILL
THEREFORE GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THESE LOCATIONS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 AM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE BREAKING DOWN ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH TRACKS EAST ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER IN THE NORTHERN
PLAINS THURSDAY. MEANWHILE, A SERIES OF H5 VORT MAXES WILL BEGIN TO
EJECT EASTWARD OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS OF
EASTERN COLORADO AND WESTERN NEBRASKA AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE
WESTERLY. THIS COULD BRING THE CHANCE FOR PRECIP TO PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHERN CENTRAL PLAINS AS EARLY AS LATE THURSDAY, POTENTIALLY AS
FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN KANSAS. AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT TO THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH TRANSITIONING EAST ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER, IS STILL
PROJECTED TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS NEBRASKA BEFORE STALLING OUT BRIEFLY
SOMEWHERE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEBRASKA OR NORTHERN KANSAS BY THURSDAY.
ALTHOUGH THE FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY WEAK ACROSS
MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS, STORMS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH WHERE THE FRONT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE AND
WHERE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL BE SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORABLE. STILL,
WITHOUT A MORE FAVORABLE SET UP, WILL RETAIN ONLY SLIGHT POPS
GENERALLY ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL KANSAS FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.

TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO BE ABOVE NORMAL THURSDAY EVEN AS THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BREAK DOWN EARLY IN THE TIME FRAME.
A LEE SIDE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ALONG THE
COLORADO/KANSAS BORDER INFLUENCING A LOW LEVEL SOUTH TO
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW INTO WESTERN KANSAS HELPING TO KEEP H85
TEMPERATURES UP RANGING FROM THE UPPER 20S(C) ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS
TO NEAR 35C ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER. EXPECT HIGHS MAINLY IN THE
103F TO 108F RANGE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SIMILAR TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND
AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING REBUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1203 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DECREASE AROUND SUNSET AT THE
ATMOSPHERE DECOUPLES AND A COLD FRONT STALLS OUT ACROSS NORTHWEST
KANSAS. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATING ANY MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE AT
OR ABOVE 15000 FEET SO VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 129 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2012

ELEVATED FIRE DANGER LEVELS CAN BE EXPECTED DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK INTO THE 105 TO 110 DEGREE
RANGE. AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IS EXPECTED TO FALL BACK
BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA, AND THEN BOTTOM OUT IN THE
8 AND 13 PERCENT RANGE BY LATE DAY. WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING, HOWEVER GIVEN
THE LOW DEWPOINTS AND FUEL CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
OUTDOOR BURNING IS DISCOURAGED.
