AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
613 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

...UPDATED FOR AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 202 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

THE 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED BROAD RIDGING CONTINUING OVER THE
LOWER 48 STATES. NUMEROUS WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WERE EMBEDDED IN
THE FLOW OVER THE RIDGE. A STRONGER WAVE EXTENDED FROM OVER
WESTERN KANSAS INTO THE BIG BEND AREA OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS. THIS
WAVE HAD BROUGHT SOME EARLY MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
WESTERN KANSAS WHICH HAVE SINCE MOVED INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN
KANSAS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. BEHIND THIS WAVE...SUBSIDENCE WAS
SPREADING ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS AS EVIDENT IN THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY.
TO THE WEST OF THIS...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WAS MOVING EAST THROUGH
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDED FROM EASTERN
NEBRASKA ACROSS NORTHWEST KANSAS INTO EAST CENTRAL COLORADO. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH TOWARD THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S ADVECT INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL KANSAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 202 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

IT APPEARS THAT PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL KANSAS COULD HAVE
A DECENT SHOT AT RECEIVING RAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. THE NAM AND GFS MODELS SHOW A TREND OF THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND MOVING INTO WESTERN KANSAS
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THE HRRR HAS BEEN SHOWING THIS TREND AS
WELL. THE LATEST RUNS OF THAT MODEL ARE SHOWING WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER WEST CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND MOVING INTO CENTRAL KANSAS WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER EASTERN COLORADO THEN MOVING
ACROSS NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS EVENING. THINK
THAT THE TWO AREAS OF STORMS DEPICTED BY THE HRRR MAY BE CORRECT
GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND INCREASING
INSTABILITY. THE SUBSIDENCE CURRENTLY OVER THE REGION MAY QUASH
ANY LATE AFTERNOON CONVECTION BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW THE AREA
BECOMING UNCAPPED BY 00Z SO CAN'T TOTALLY RULE OUT A STORM OR TWO.
LATER TONIGHT AM EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE OUT INTO WEST
CENTRAL AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS. HAVE INCREASED
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO 50-55 PERCENT ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA
NORTH OF A LINE FROM SYRACUSE THROUGH MONTEZUMA, DODGE CITY AND
LARNED BASED OFF OF TRENDS IN THE HRRR. THE MODELS HINT AT A LOW
LEVEL JET DEVELOPING TONIGHT WHICH COULD HELP SUSTAIN THINGS INTO
THE LATE NIGHT HOURS BUT THINK WE WILL SEE A DECREASING TREND
AFTER 06Z.

SUNDAY SHOULD STAR OUT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY. ANOTHER WEAK
SHORTWAVE IS PROGGED TO MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. HARD TO TELL WHERE EXACTLY THUNDERSTORMS WILL
INITIATE GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE FRONTAL POSITION AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR ANY LEFTOVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. WILL CONTINUE THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST TREND OF INCREASING POPS INTO THE CHANCE
CATEGORY BY LATE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY MAY ALSO
BE A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH AND WHERE RAINFALL
OCCURS TONIGHT. WILL KEEP HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 IN
MOST AREAS WITH SOME LOW 90S OUT ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

FOR THE LATE SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY PERIOD, A FLAT UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE SITUATED OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES, WITH
WEST-NORTHWESTERLY CROSS-MOUNTAIN, MID LEVEL, FLOW ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS. THIS PATTERN WILL LEAD TO WEAK MID LEVEL CAPPING AND SURFACE
LEE TROUGHING, ALONG WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN ON THE HIGH
PLAINS. IN ADDITION, THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE WESTERLIES AT MID
AND HIGH LEVELS WILL BE SITUATED FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED
STATES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. ALL THESE FACTORS ARE FAVORABLE
FOR NOCTURNAL STORM CLUSTERS TO DEVELOP THIS TIME OF YEAR ON THE FRONT
RANGE AND HIGH PLAINS EVERY EVENING AND NIGHTTIME. THEREFORE,
CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH BENEFICIAL RAINS LOOK HIGH. BUT THE
EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE RAIN AREAS IS NOT KNOWN WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. LOTS OF COOL OUTFLOW FROM THE THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS
WILL LEAD TO COOLER HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN APPEAR TO BE SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS AS
MUCH MORE STABLE AIR COULD BE IN PLACE BY TUESDAY.

FOR THE WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY PERIOD, UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS EXPECTED
TO REDEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS, MISSOURI AND OKLAHOMA, WITH
UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL LEAD TO
MUCH DRIER WEATHER AND WARMER TEMPERATURES, WITH HIGHS APPROACHING
100F BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES
NEAR THE LEE TROUGH IN WESTERN KANSAS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 606 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AT 10-15KT. AN MCS
IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM EASTERN COLORADO AND INTO WESTERN KANSAS
LATE THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE KGCK AREA
FROM 03-08Z, AND IN KDDC AND KHYS FROM 05-08Z. THE MAIN THREAT
WILL BE OUTFLOW WINDS TO 40-50KT AND SOME SMALL HAIL TO DIME SIZE.
