AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
1123 PM CST TUE JAN 31 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CST TUE JAN 31 2012

THE MAIN FORECAST FOCUS WILL BE ON TEMPERATURES DURING THE PERIOD.

WV IMAGERY AND 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRACKING EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
MEANWHILE, A SECONDARY UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS PUSHING EAST INTO
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NORTHEAST KANSAS
SOUTHWEST INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA IS PUSHING SLOWLY EASTWARD. A LOW
LEVEL NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS IS DRAWING EXTREMELY
DRY AIR INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT.

SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS MOVING EAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE, THE SECONDARY UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS PROJECTED TO TRACK
EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS EARLY WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, NO
PRECIP IS EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
DRIFTING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS LIMITING LOW LEVEL LIFT. A
STRONG LACK OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS ALSO A MITIGATING FACTOR. AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL
THEN MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY THURSDAY RESULTING
IN DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST ABOVE NORMAL TONIGHT AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS EAST ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS CYCLING THE
SAME GENERAL AIR MASS BACK TO THE NORTH INTO THE AREA. ADDITIONALLY,
INCREASED HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE HELPING TO LIMIT THE RATE OF FALLING TEMPERATURES.
AS A RESULT, LOOK FOR LOWS DOWN INTO THE UPPER 20S(F) AND 30S(F).
FOR WEDNESDAY, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL LINGER ACROSS EASTERN
KANSAS EVEN AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
BEGINS TO TRANSITION INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS. THE NAM, GFS,
AND UKMET SHOW H85 TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM JUST ABOVE 5C ACROSS
CENTRAL KANSAS TO NEAR 8C ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER. LOOK FOR
HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S(F) TO THE LOWER TO MID 60S(F).
FOR THURSDAY, A SURFACE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE
UPPER MIDWEST HELPING TO INFLUENCE MORE OF A SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE
FLOW ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS CYCLING SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR BACK INTO
WESTERN KANSAS WITH H85 TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND 5C. ALONG WITH
THE EXPECTATION OF INCREASED HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH, THIS WILL HELP TO LOWER HIGHS
GOING INTO THURSDAY. AS A RESULT, HIGHS ONLY UP INTO THE 50S(F)
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CST TUE JAN 31 2012

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL ON TRACK PUSHING A STRONG RIDGE UP INTO
WESTERN CANADA ON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH AN ELONGATED SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WELL SOUTH INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WITH A WAVE BREAKING LOW AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE TROUGH. THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY
NORTHEASTWARD AND GET CUT OFF FROM THE MAIN NORTHERN JETSTREAM. SOME
OF THE REMAINING UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY WILL CONTINUE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF THE LOW AND HELP IT MOVE NORTHEASTWARD INTO KANSAS BY
FRIDAY. JUST AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW THERE WILL BE LOTS OF MOISTURE
PULLED NORTHWARD AS DEWPOINTS INCREASE ON THURSDAY NIGHT. EVEN SOME
UPPER LEVEL INSTABILITY IS FORECAST MAINLY IN THE SOUTH FA ON
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
MORE NORTH A COLD RAIN IS EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT WITH RAIN AMOUNTS
THAT COULD BE FROM 1/2 TO NEAR AN INCH BY FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH
OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THE MODELS THEN DIFFER IN
LOCATION AND TIMING OF THE UPPER LOW AND STORM SYSTEM INTO SUNDAY.
THE GFS LOOKS THE FASTEST WITH THE UPPER LOW WHILE THE ECMWF STILL
IS MUCH SLOWER WITH THE CANADIAN MODEL IN THE MIDDLE. WILL HEDGE
TOWARD THE MIDDLE AND USE A BLEND OF THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF FOR THIS
FORECAST. SNOW COULD START TO ACCUMULATE IN THE FAR WEST ON FRIDAY
MORNING THEN PUSH EAST TO DODGE CITY ON FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR MORE THAN AN INCH IN THE NORTH FROM HAYS TO
SCOTT CITY. AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO PUSH AWAY FROM THE AREA ON
SATURDAY MUCH OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE IN THE HAYS AND
WAKEENEY AREAS WITH A GUESS OF A FEW INCHES OR MORE, WINDS WILL ALSO
BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SNOWFALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH
AREAS OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES. OTHER
CONCERNS ARE IF MORE THUNDERSTORMS FORM TO OUR SOUTH THIS COULD PULL
COLDER AIR IN FROM THE NORTH AND PUSH THE AXIS OF HEAVY SNOW MORE
SOUTH, OR IF MORE THUNDER IS NORTH INTO DODGE CITY THE SNOW COULD BE
ALL TO THE NORTH WITH LESSER AMOUNTS. WILL UPDATE THE CURRENT
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR GOING THOUGHTS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1119 PM CST TUE JAN 31 2012

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS EARLY THIS
MORNING, RESULTING IN LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS. THIS RIDGE AXIS WILL
THEN MOVE INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS DURING THE AFTERNOON,
ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHWEST AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH A FEW HIGH CLOUDS PASSING OVERHEAD.
