AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
555 PM CDT TUE JUN 4 2013

...UPDATED FOR THE 00Z TAFS AND AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 222 PM CDT
TUE JUN 4 2013

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY.

EAST TO NORTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE WINDS WILL TRANSPORT ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE INTO EASTERN COLORADO INTO THIS EVENING. AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE ASSOCIATED WITH A NORTHERN PLAINS UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND A SOUTHERN BRANCH UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK AROUND
70KT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO WESTERN KANSAS TONIGHT.
MODELS ARE FORECASTING A LARGE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
OVER FAR EASTERN COLORADO AND FAR WESTERN KANSAS BY AROUND 7 PM,
THEN PROPAGATE EASTWARD. WINDS OVER 60 MPH AND HAIL UP TO QUARTER
SIZE IS LIKELY WITH THESE STORMS. STRONG WINDS MAY GET OUT OF AHEAD
OF THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS LATER TONIGHT AS ANY DISCRETE CLUSTERS
COLLAPSE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE VERY HARD TO ESTIMATE BUT MAY BE
HIGHER IN PARTS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS WITH A MORE OF A WIND EVENT
FOR PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. MOST AREAS SHOULD RECEIVE 1/4
TO 1/2 INCH OF RAINFALL. ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN IS WITH ANY
STORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THE PRATT TO COLDWATER AND MEDICINE LODGE
AREAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON NEAR A WIND SHIFT LINE. THIS AREA HAS
FORECAST CAPE VALUES AROUND 3000 J/KG AND MODERATE LAYER SHEAR.
LARGER HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT IF ANY
STORMS FORM. THE MAIN COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE NEAR
ASHLAND TO DODGE CITY AND WAKEENEY BY AROUND 10 PM, THEN END AFTER
MIDNIGHT IN PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. OVERNIGHT LOWS LOOK TO
BE FROM 60 TO 65 DEGREES.

FOR WEDNESDAY THE NAM MODEL CONTINUES TO FORECAST A LARGE AREA OF
OVER AN INCH RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF WESTERN KANSAS. MUCH OF THIS IS
DUE TO CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK IN THE MODEL AND IS PROBABLY WAY OVER
ESTIMATED. THE GFS MODEL SHOWS THE BEST CHANCES OVER PARTS OF SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS IN THE MORNING WITH MUCH LESS QPF. WILL CONTINUE WITH
A 30 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO COVER.
WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS FORECAST THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE ONLY IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 303 PM CDT TUE JUN 4 2013

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW SETTING UP ACROSS
THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
TRANSITIONS EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. EXPECT DRIER
CONDITIONS ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
DROPS SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN HIGH
PLAINS LOWERING MOISTURE AVAILABILITY. FOR FRIDAY, THE NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AS THE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE KICKS OFF TO OUR EAST SETTING UP A
SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS AND INCREASING
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. ALTHOUGH A WEAK FLOW ALOFT IS
EXPECTED, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP OFF THE
FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKIES WITH THE POTENTIAL OF DRIFTING INTO FAR
WESTERN KANSAS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY
AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET, PRECEDED BY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH, DROPS
SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS OF
NEBRASKA AND POSSIBLY KANSAS. ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS SOUTHWARD INTO NEBRASKA, HOW FAR SOUTH
THEY DEVELOP IS THE QUESTION. GENERALLY DRIER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE GFS AND ECMWF POINT TO UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND MOVING EAST
INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES DOWN INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR
WITH IT. THE GEM, GFS, AND ECMWF SHOW H85 TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM
AROUND 15C ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS TO NEAR 20C ALONG THE COLORADO
BORDER. WIDESPREAD 70S(F) ARE LIKELY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A WARMING
TREND WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY AS LEE SIDE
TROUGHING DEVELOPS FRIDAY AND STRENGTHENS INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL
ENHANCE WARM AIR ADVECTION INTO WESTERN KANSAS WITHIN A SUBSEQUENT
LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW. LOOK FOR HIGHS MAINLY UP INTO THE 80S(F)
FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE 80S(F) AND A FEW 90S(F) POSSIBLE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 545 PM CDT TUE JUN 4 2013

A COLD FRONT WAS STRETCHED FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA THROUGH NORTH
CENTRAL KANSAS INTO SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO. A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
WILL PASS SLOWLY OVERHEAD THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL START OUT
VFR WITH JUST A FEW CLOUDS IN THE 050 LEVEL. BY 03Z, AN AREA OF
STORMS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST AND APPROACH GCK BY 03Z, AND
THEN APPROACH DDC AND HYS AFTER 04Z. THE STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED,
AND MAY NOT ACTUALLY APPROACH A TAF SITE. IF THUNDERSTORMS GO OVER
A TAF SITE, CIGS AND VSBY MAY DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY. THE
RAIN SHOULD MOVE EAST BY 10Z IN THE MORNING.
