AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
1238 PM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 320 AM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS THE PLAINS AND A
SURFACE HIGH WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. A WEAK
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ALSO BE FOUND ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO
THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AND SOUTHERLY FLOW TO BE OBSERVED
THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. THE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP BRING
ADDITIONAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO WESTERN KANSAS AND MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING DEWPOINTS OF 50 TO 55 DEGREES TO BE PRESENT. DENSE FOG IS
ANTICIPATED TO FORM ACROSS FAR WESTERN KANSAS TOWARDS SUNRISE THIS
MORNING WITH PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE. SEE THE DENSE FOG
ADVISORY AND HWO PRODUCTS FOR MORE INFORMATION. ANY FOG THAT DOES
FORM SHOULD BURN OFF BY 14Z LEAVING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IN IT'S WAKE.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN LATE IN THE MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON AS LEE TROUGHING STRENGTHENS ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO AND
THE ATMOSPHERE MIXES. SOUTH WINDS AT 20 TO 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WITH
SOME GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH. MODELS SHOW THAT 850 TEMPS SHOULD BE IN
THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S IN THE AFTERNOON AND AS THIS MIXES DOWN
TO THE SURFACE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH A FEW
PLACES REACHING THE LOWER 80S. WINDS DECREASE TO AROUND 15 MPH
TONIGHT WITH DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING. HIGH CLOUDS ARE ANTICIPATED
TO MOVE INTO WESTERN KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES. WITH WINDS AROUND 15 MPH AND HIGH CLOUDS PRESENT
FOG IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. DEWPOINTS AROUND 55 DEGREES
WILL BE PRESENT TONIGHT AND LOWS ARE ONLY FORECAST TO ONLY DROP
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 50S.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 420 AM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

FOR MONDAY A STRONG NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL
MOVE RAPIDLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST CONUS AND INTO THE WESTERN HIGH
PLAINS OF WYOMING INTO EASTERN COLORADO BY EVENING. ALL MODELS NOW
SHOWING THE SURFACE WINDS TO REMAIN SOUTHERLY ALL THE WAY TO THE
COLORADO BORDER THROUGH 7 PM MONDAY. SO WITH A LACK OF A DRYLINE
PUSH AND HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL NOT GO WITH A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH AT THIS TIME. ALSO WITH A LACK OF MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AND A STRONG CAP WILL ONLY GO WITH AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM FOR THE AFTERNOON IN THE FAR WEST. CIRRUS OVERCAST IN
THE MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO CLEARING SKIES IN THE FAR WEST LATE
SO LOWERED HIGH TEMPS A BIT IN THE EAST FA. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING AT 25 TO 35
MPH WITH A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE DRYLINE AND COLD FRONT
PUSH ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS MONDAY NIGHT AND WILL KEEP ISOLATED TO
AROUND 20 POPS GOING. NOT VERY CONFIDENT OF GETTING MUCH OF
ANYTHING FOR PRECIPITATION AS THE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER TROUGH STAYS WELL NORTH.

FOR TUESDAY THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES
LEAVING BEHIND A STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR MEDICINE LODGE.
WILL LEAVE SOME SMALL POPS IN THAT AREA MAINLY FOR TUESDAY NIGHT.
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVES BACK INTO SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS ON
WEDNESDAY JUST NORTH OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND WILL LEAVE A CHANCE
OF ELEVATED THUNDER MAINLY IN THE FAR EAST.

FOR THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY, CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE FROM
EAST TO WEST WITH SOME UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES. THE NEW ECMWF HAS A
DEEPER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH INTO THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY. WILL INCREASE
POPS FROM 20 PERCENT IN THE EAST ON THURSDAY TO AROUND 30 PERCENT
ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY, MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM DIGHTON TO
MEADE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

AS A UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MIGRATES EAST, SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL BECOME MORE SOUTH THIS EVENING, BUT CONTINUE BLOWING IN THE
15G25KT RANGE THROUGH MIDNIGHT, BEFORE SETTLING INTO SOUTHEAST
WINDS OF 11 TO 13 KNOTS. A CIG IN THE BKN-OVC200 RANGE WILL MOVE
IN TONIGHT AS WELL. BY MONDAY MID DAY, THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN DUE TO COLD FRONT ADVANCING SOUTH FROM
WYOMING. EXPECT SOUTH WINDS OF 25G35KTS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 420 AM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

WILL NOT GO WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AS MODELS
DO NOT HAVE A DRYLINE PUSH UNTIL AFTER 7 PM MONDAY. ELEVATED FIRE
CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
FALLING TO AROUND 20 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTHERN FA
FROM MEADE TO DODGE CITY AND LARNED AND NORTHWEST.
