...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT TUE APR 24 2012

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM THAT PUSHED A COLD FRONT DEEP INTO
THE TROPICS WAS LOCATED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES TODAY.
INSPECTION OF SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND BUOY DATA OVER THE BAY OF
CAMPECHE AND SOUTH TEXAS INDICATES THAT RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
WAS NOT SCOURED FROM THIS AREA. IN FACT, SOUTHEASTERLY LOW-LEVEL
FLOW HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED IN SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY SO THAT A NORTHWARD TRANSPORT OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE HAD
ALREADY BEGUN. THIS IS A RESULT OF SOME WESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW
THROUGH THE ROCKIES UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE THAT WAS SERVING TO LOWER
PRESSURES IN THE LEE OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. MEANWHILE, A HOT
PLUME OF AIR PROGRESSED EASTWARD OVER THE HIGH PLAINS OVERNIGHT
AND THIS WAS MIXING TO THE SURFACE TODAY, RESULTING IN HOT
TEMPERATURES BY APRIL STANDARDS. A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS
LOCATED JUST OFF OF THE COAST OF BAJA. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WAS LOCATED UPSTREAM OF THIS SYSTEM OFF OF THE COAST OF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT TUE APR 24 2012

IN THE NEAR TERM, A TROUGH LINE IN FAR WESTERN KANSAS HAS RESULTED
IN HIGH BASED CONVECTION GIVEN THE INTENSE HEATING AND STEEP LAPSE RATES.
EVEN THOUGH THE LOWER LEVELS WERE VERY DRY, IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT
SOME OF THESE ECHOES COULD REACH THE GROUND AS RAIN. A BRIEF WIND GUST
TO 40 OR 50 MPH CAN'T BE RULED OUT GIVEN THE INVERTED V SOUNDINGS.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE FAIRLY MILD TONIGHT GIVEN THE HOT START. HOWEVER,
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS, TEMPERATURES SHOULD
STILL FALL INTO THE 50S IN MOST PLACES. EVEN HOTTER TEMPERATURES CAN BE
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AS THE ROCKIES HOT PLUME CONTINUES TO PROGRESS INTO
SOUTHWEST KANSAS. DEEP VERTICAL MIXING AND 700MB TEMPERATURES
AROUND 12C WILL RESULT IN HIGHS FROM 95 TO 100F. THE RECORD HIGH FOR
DODGE CITY IS 90F SET IN 1989. THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
DUE TO THE LACK OF LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE APR 24 2012

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY:
A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTING SOUTHWEST KANSAS
DURING THIS TIME FRAME...PARTICULARLY THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SEVERE
WEATHER A DEFINITE CONCERN.  FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO EARLY
THURSDAY...THERE IS REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE OVERALL
SYNOPTIC PATTERN WITH A PACIFIC LOW MOVING INLAND TOWARD
SOUTHWESTERN ARIZONA BY MID-MORNING THURSDAY.  IN RESPONSE TO THE
LOWERING MID LEVEL HEIGHTS OVER THE ROCKIES/ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS
THURSDAY...SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN TO ROUGHLY 995MB OVER
EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO BY 00Z FRIDAY.  THERE ARE STILL
QUESTIONS ON HOW FAR SOUTHWEST THE POLAR FRONT WILL REACH BEFORE
WARM FRONTOGENESIS AND CYCLOGENESIS TAKES OVER.  PLACEMENT OF THE
FRONT WILL BE CRITICAL LOCATION OF SEVERE WEATHER LATER ON IN THE
AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT.  IT WILL ALSO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT
ON AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES.  HIGHS ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY
WILL LIKELY REACH LOWER 90S WHILE AREAS NORTH OF THE FRONT WITH
STRONG EASTERLY WIND COMPONENT WILL STAY IN THE 70S.  A MINOR LEAD
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE MAY INDUCE SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION EARLY IN
THE AFTERNOON POLEWARD OF THE SURFACE FRONT SO WILL KEEP THE POPS
30-40 PERCENT IN THE 18-23Z TIME FRAME NORTH OF THE FRONT.  WILL
EXPAND THE CHANCE POPS SOUTH/SOUTHEASTWARD THURSDAY NIGHT AS
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION FORMS ALONG THE DRYLINE/EVENTUAL PACIFIC COLD
FRONT AND/OR OUTFLOW BOUNDARY(IES) FROM ANY EARLIER CONVECTION.

THERE IS STILL SOME CONCERN OF ISOLATED TORNADOES IN THE 00-03Z
FRIDAY TIME FRAME FROM SURFACE BASED STORMS WHICH FORM ALONG THE
DRYLINE AND MOVE NORTHEAST/EAST-NORTHEAST TOWARD THE FRONTAL ZONE
WHERE LCL HEIGHTS WILL BE LOWER AND 0-1KM SHEAR WILL BE MUCH MORE
ENHANCED. MIXED LAYER CAPE OF 2500-3000 J/KG THROUGH THE MID EVENING
HOURS WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO PERHAPS MID 60S IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FRONT-DRYLINE INTERSECTION WHEREVER IT SETS UP
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST KANSAS REGION.  A CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
EVOLVE NORTHEASTWARD IN THE FAVORED COMPACT LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE
UPPER TROPOSPHERIC JET TIED TO THE UPPER SYSTEM THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT.  COLD AIR ADVECTION AND SUBSIDENCE WILL WORK INTO WESTERN
KANSAS BY FRIDAY MORNING PER THE LATEST TIMING GUIDANCE FROM THE
LATEST NUMERICAL PREDICTION (NAMELY THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF/GFS
SOLUTIONS). THIS WILL PRESENT A CHALLENGE IN THE TIMING OF THE END
OF PRECIPITATION FRIDAY AS WELL AS HOW COLD TO GO WITH
TEMPERATURES...AS THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT SOME RATHER COLD AIR
WILL DRIVE SOUTH IN THE WAKE OF THIS LOW...AND THE COLD ADVECTION
COULD BE SO STRONG THAT IT WILL OVERWHELM ANY DIURNAL RISE SUCH THAT
WE COULD HAVE SOME FALLING TEMPS DURING THE DAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE
NORTH.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY:
THE SMALL SCALE LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AND WEAKEN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...BUT HEIGHTS WILL REMAIN LOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES WITH COOL
MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES/BAROCLINIC ZONE REMAINING FROM THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES TO THE ADJACENT WESTERN PLAINS.  BEGINNING SATURDAY...A COLD
SURFACE HIGH WILL INFLUENCE SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL PLAINS INCLUDING SOUTHWEST KANSAS...WITH TEMPERATURES LIKELY
NOT EXCEEDING THE MID/UPPER 50S SATURDAY AND EVEN COOLER SUNDAY.
POPS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS
WARM/MOIST ADVECTION INCREASES WITH A SUBTROPICAL JET APPROACHING
THE WESTERN PLAINS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  THERE IS A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY IN THE 12-HR PERIOD TIMING OF ALL THIS AND THE POP
FORECAST WILL BE CHANGING AS WE APPROACH LATE WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 617 PM CDT TUE APR 24 2012

A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH MODERATE CU CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP ALONG A SURFACE BOUNDARY THAT WAS MOVING EAST ACROSS
WESTERN KANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AS OF 23Z THIS BOUNDARY
EXTENDED FROM NEAR HAYS TO DDC TO LBL. THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST EARLY THIS EVENING SO IF ANY CONVECTION DOES
DEVELOP EARLY THIS EVENING IT IS EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH AND EAST OF
DDC AND HYS BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS. THESE NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SHORT
LIVED WITH PREVAILING WIND SPEEDS OVERNIGHT EXPECTED TO AVERAGE
BETWEEN 10 AND 15KTS. BASED ON MODEL SOUNDINGS OVERNIGHT CLOUD
BASES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT OR ABOVE 100KFT SO VFR CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED.
