What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 22, 3:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 3:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
331 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

...UPDATED FOR THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 325 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

QUITE A FEW WEATHER ELEMENTS TO FORECAST THIS FORECAST CYCLE.  FOR
THE MOST PART, I CHANGED VERY LITTLE FROM THE PREVIOUS SHIFT'S
FORECAST.  ONE COLD FRONT IN THE FORM OF A SIGNIFICANT WIND SHIFT IS
CURRENTLY ADVANCING SOUTHEAST THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA.  ANOTHER,
STRONGER COLD FRONT IS EVIDENT IN THE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY, AS
WELL AS IN THE SURFACE ANALYSIS.  THIS STRONGER COLD FRONT SHOULD
PASS THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST FROM
APPROXIMATELY 7 PM CDT IN THE SCOTT CITY AREAS, TO AFTER MIDNIGHT
IN THE COLDWATER AND MEDICINE LODGE AREAS.  THAT 2ND COLD FRONT IS
VERY STRONG AND NOT TOO DEEP IN NATURE, IT WILL UNDERCUT THE WARM
LAYER JUST OFF THE SURFACE. TOOK A LOOK AT FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND
THEY SUGGEST THE CENTRAL PART OF MY CWA CWA WILL HAVE A NARROW
BAND OF SLEET MIXED WITH FREEZING RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW ALONG AND
JUST BEHIND THE FRONT, PERHAPS FOR AS LONG AS 2 TO 4 HOURS. THUS,
DO NOT THINK THE FREEZING PRECIP WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH PROBLEMS,
BEYOND ACCUMULATING SLIGHTLY ON ELEVATED LINES AND SURFACES.  WHAT
WILL LIKELY BE A BIGGER PROBLEM FOR MANY SOUTHWESTERN RESIDENTS
WILL BE THE STRONG WIND, THE HARD FREEZE AND THE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW.  HAVE ISSUED AN NPW FOR BOTH A WIND ADVISORY
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW, AND A HARD FREEZE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE HARDER FREEZE SEEMS MORE LIKELY TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT NEARLY ALL
OF OUR CWA WILL FALL TO 28F OR BELOW TONIGHT.  MINS FROM 21F TO
25F ARE FORECAST TUESDAY NIGHT.

CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING, WINDS INCREASING, AND SNOW MOVING AS A
MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA SLIDES FROM SOUTHERN WYOMING TO
NORTHEAST KANSAS.  THE NAM AND GFS MODELS ARE BOTH PLACING FROM 2 TO
3 INCHES NORTH OF I-70, WITH THE HEAVIER SNOW FORECAST FOR AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 110 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
SWINGING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY AND INTO THE
GREAT LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT
IS PROJECTED TO PUSH SOUTH JUST INTO WESTERN KANSAS LATE WEDNESDAY
BEFORE IT STALLS, LITTLE PRECIP IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION WITH
LITTLE MOISTURE FOR THE SYSTEM TO WORK WITH. MEANWHILE, AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH NOW APPROACHING THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WILL
PUSH ASHORE INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST THURSDAY THEN LIFT NORTHEAST
INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY NIGHT BRINGING THE POSSIBILITY
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF WESTERN KANSAS LATE
THIS WEEK. TIMING REMAINS AN ISSUE AS IT PERTAINS TO THE ARRIVAL OF
THE SYSTEM COMBINED WITH MOISTURE AVAILABILITY. REGARDLESS, THE
BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIP LOOKS TO BE DURING THE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY TIME FRAME.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY AS A COLD AIR MASS
IS SLOW TO ERODE OUT OF WESTERN KANSAS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS
PROJECTED TO DRIFT EAST INTO EASTERN KANSAS RESULTING IN FAIRLY
LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND MUCH OF
SOUTHWEST KANSAS ALLOWING THE COLDER AIR TO LINGER. THE NAM, GFS,
AND ECMWF SHOW H85 TEMPERATURES RANGING AROUND TO JUST ABOVE 5C
ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. EVEN WITH
EXPECTED DECREASING CLOUDS, LOOK FOR HIGHS GENERALLY UP INTO THE
50S(F) WITH A FEW 40S(F) STILL POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS. FOR
THURSDAY, BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY REGION WILL HELP TO INFLUENCE A LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO
WESTERN KANSAS. THIS WILL DRAW WARMER AIR NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA
WITH H85 TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE 5C ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS TO NEAR
15C IN FAR WESTERN KANSAS ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER. SHOULD SEE
60S(F) IN CENTRAL KANSAS TO NEAR 70F IN EXTREME WESTERN KANSAS FOR
HIGHS THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
WEEKEND AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE ZONAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1212 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

IT LOOKS AS IF LOW CLOUDS HAVE BEEN ADVECTING EAST THIS MORNING,
WITH THE KHYS TAF SITE THE ONLY ONE WITH A MVFR CIG.  AS THE
AFTERNOON PROGRESSES, A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST
THROUGH EACH TAF SITE.  THIS WILL BRING STRONG NORTH WINDS TO HYS BY
AROUND 20Z, TO GCK AROUND 21Z, AND DDC BY 23Z.  AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS THIS EVENING,
BRINGING SNOW AND MVFR VSBYS TO ALL TAF SITES.
