AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
609 AM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

...UPDATED AVIATION SECTION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1225 AM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

AT 00Z SUNDAY A 500MB TROUGH WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS WITH ANOTHER, -37C, UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LOCATED FROM WEST
CENTRAL ALBERTA INTO CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA. A +90KT 300MB JET
STREAK WAS LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE ALBERTA/BRITISH COLUMBIA UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH WHILE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS A +100KT 300MB JET WAS
LOCATED NEAR THE BASED OF THE WEST CENTRAL PLAINS SYSTEM. A 700MB
TROUGH WAS LOCATED FROM SOUTH DAKOTA ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS INTO
THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS WITH A -3C TO +5C TEMPERATURE GRADIENT
EVIDENT FROM DODGE CITY TO MIDLAND TEXAS. 850MB TEMPERATURES AT
00Z SUNDAY VARIED FROM +5C AT NORTH PLATTE TO +11C AT DODGE CITY
TO +18C AT AMARILLO AND MIDLAND. AT THE SURFACE A WARM FRONT
STRETCHED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS TO SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA TO EASTERN
MONTANA. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDED FROM SOUTHWEST OF THIS
WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS INTO THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS. A
WEDGE OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS WERE LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT AND EXTENDED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS TO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 146 AM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY
ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS TODAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS AND NAM HAD A 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE
CHANGE OF AROUND A +2C CHANGE AT THE 850MB LEVEL FROM 00Z SUNDAY
TO 00Z MONDAY. GIVEN THIS AND THE HIGH TEMPERATURES REPORTED
YESTERDAY THE LATEST MET/MAV APPEARS REASONABLE THIS MORNING WITH
HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS TO AROUND
70 DEGREES ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

AT 00Z MONDAY BOTH THE NAM AND GFS INDICATED THE 700MB
TEMPERATURES WILL VARY FROM -2C ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS TO NEAR +2C
IN EXTREME SOUTHWEST KANSAS. IN ADDITION THE NOSE OF AN UPPER
LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO BE LOCATED NEAR EASTERN COLORADO. AT THIS
TIME BASED ON THE EXPECTED HIGHS TODAY, LOCATION OF WHERE THE
COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOCATED AT 00Z MONDAY, AND
THE LOCATIONS OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO
FAVOR EARLY EVENING CONVECTION DEVELOPING NEAR THE SURFACE LEE
TROUGH IN WEST CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. GIVEN THE MEAN
LAYER WINDS AND FORECAST CORFIDI VECTORS ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES
DEVELOP WILL SPREAD EAST/SOUTHEAST ALONG THE MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC
ZONE OVERNIGHT. THIS CONVECTION WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN AREAL
COVERAGE OVERNIGHT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS GIVEN THE
DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET. THIS CONTINUES TO FAVOR THE HIGH
PROBABILITY FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS WITH THE
LOWER CHANCES ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 AM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

A MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS DEPICTED TO MOVE INTO
THE ROCKIES ON MONDAY AND THROUGH THE PLAINS TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO
WESTERN KANSAS AS WELL AS BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE LONG TERM
PERIOD STARTS ON MONDAY WHERE A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS IN THE MORNING.
THIS IS DUE TO TO AN EXITING UPPER LEVEL PIECE OF ENERGY MOVING INTO
EASTERN KANSAS. OTHERWISE EXPECT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES MONDAY MORNING.
THE FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO NORTHERN KANSAS WHERE A STRONG COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO BE LOCATED IN THE LATE MORNING. THIS FRONT IS
ANTICIPATED TO MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS AS TIMING OF THIS FRONT IS A LITTLE MORE CONCISE WITH THE
MODELS. THE NAM MODEL IS BY FAR THE FASTEST BUT ONLY A COUPLE HOURS
FASTER THAN THE OTHER OPERATIONAL MODELS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
INCREASE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS AS THIS FRONT
APPROACHES ALLOWING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM AHEAD
OF IT DURING THE AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
MAY BECOME SEVERE IN NATURE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING
WITH HAIL UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER BEING THE MAIN CONCERN. STRONG
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE FELT BEHIND THE FRONT WITH RAPIDLY FALLING
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
BELOW FREEZING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES
INTRODUCING A WINTERY MIX OF PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. A
WARM TONGUE WILL ALSO BE PRESENT AROUND 800 MB WITH RAIN MIXING
WITH SLEET THEN RAPIDLY CHANGING OVER TO SNOW. THE BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL BE BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING AS AMPLE MOISTURE A THICK LAYER OF STRATUS WILL BE OBSERVED.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES THEN DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY
ON TUESDAY WITH SKIES CLEARING TUESDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF UP TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
WESTERN KANSAS WITH SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS RECEIVING UP TO A HALF OF
AN INCH OF RAIN. AS FOR SNOW, 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL POSSIBLE NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 50 WITH A TRACE TO AN INCH POSSIBLE SOUTH OF THIS AREA. AS
FOR TEMPERATURES, HIGHS MONDAY LOOK TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH EARLY TO MID 70S ACROSS THE KS/OK BORDER WHERE THE FRONT
ISN'T EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH TILL LATE. LOWS TUESDAY MORNING ARE
FORECASTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S. TUESDAY WILL BE
COLD DUE TO AMPLE COLD AIR ADVECTION ALLOWING HIGHS TO ONLY REACH TO
AROUND 40 DEGREES. LOWS WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BE BELOW FREEZING AND
IN THE LOWER TO MID 20S.

TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE FORECASTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS
THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM MOVES TO THE EAST AND FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
MORE ZONAL (WEST TO EAST). HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL QUICKLY
SHIFT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH LEE
TROUGHING REDEVELOPING ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. THIS WILL SHIFT
WINDS BACK TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY
NIGHT AS A FEW PIECES OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY MOVE ACROSS THE ZONAL
FLOW.  OTHERWISE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. HIGHS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME WILL START OUT IN THE
50S WEDNESDAY, 60S THURSDAY, THEN 70S FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 30S THURSDAY MORNING THEN IN THE 40S
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 607 AM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY WITH TROUGHING ACROSS THE LEE OF
THE ROCKIES. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS THIS
MORNING INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON.

NIGHT AS A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES WESTERN KANSAS. SOME OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE MONDAY MAY BE
SEVERE. THE MAIN HAZARD FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL UP TO 2
INCHES IN DIAMETER.

GUSTY NORTH WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY NIGHT. THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
CHANGE OVER TO SNOW MONDAY NIGHT AS COLDER AIR RETURNS TO WESTERN
KANSAS. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNCLEAR JUST HOW MUCH SNOW WILL OCCUR
