AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
1251 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2014

...Updated for the aviation discussion...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 241 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2014

As the deep, sprawling cyclone continued to spin across the Midwest,
a strong lower-mid tropospheric gradient remained across the central
High Plains. Today's high wind event was focused on the High Plains
of eastern Colorado and far western Kansas with several reports of
60+ mph wind gusts at locations including Garden City, Scott City,
Johnson, Syracuse, and Ulysses. Even higher wind gusts were
occurring across portions of east central and northeastern Colorado
where widespread blowing dust was leading to visibility of one-half
mile or less. Cooler lower tropospheric temperatures were advecting
south as shortwave trough moved south down the backside of the
larger scale gyre earlier this morning. Surface temperatures
remained in the 40s for most of the day, finally reaching 50 degrees
at Dodge City, yet still 46 degrees as of 1915Z at Hays.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 241 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2014

For tonight, the main challenge will be temperatures, as lows will
approach the freezing point, especially northwest of a Johnson to
Garden City to La Crosse line. We do not expect a freeze, however,
given winds staying up all night in the 15 to 20 knot range. A
break-up in lower-mid tropospheric cloud cover can be expected
especially across far west central and southwest Kansas, but
clearing skies will probably not influence the nocturnal fall of
temperatures with the breezy conditions having by far the greater
influence on surface temperature. Another shortwave disturbance
rotating south down the backside of the gyre will approach Kansas
early Wednesday. This feature will actually help dry out the middle
troposphere more, and we should see more sun on Wednesday. Increased
direct insolation will help temperatures rise into the upper 50s
(around 60 along the Oklahoma border) despite 850mb temperatures
remaining in the lower single digits. 850-700mb mean wind speeds of
30 to 35 knots will support late morning to late afternoon surface
winds in the lower to mid 20s knots from the north-northwest. A wind
advisory may be necessary for particularly the far west-central
Kansas counties, but at this time we will hold off on such product
issuance given the marginal look.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 214 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2014

A large mid to upper level low will shift eastward across the Great
Lakes Thursday into Friday with an upper level ridge located across
the western United States. This will place southwest Kansas under
northwest flow aloft. North to northwesterly winds continue at the
surface through Friday as an area of low pressure moves northeast
into eastern Canada. A dome of high pressure is also expected to
move through the Central Plains during this time frame. Gusty
conditions are expected again during the afternoon hours. Dry
conditions are expected through this period with partly cloudy skies
Wednesday night through Friday with a slight increase in mid level
clouds Friday night. Lows Thursday and Friday morning look to dip
into the 30s with highs Thursday in the low to mid 60s. Highs Friday
are forecasted to reach into the Mid to upper 70s.

The aforementioned ridging across the Western United States weakens
and shifts east over the weekend placing it above Mississippi Valley
by Monday night. The atmospheric column above western Kansas
will remain dry during this period with partly cloudy skies. Winds
will briefly shift to the south Saturday before shifting back to the
north Saturday night behind a cold front. This will be short lived
as winds shift back to the south Sunday into Monday as an upper
level shortwave enters the Pacific Northwest. Lows Saturday morning
look to dip into the mid 40s with highs Saturday afternoon ranging
from the mid 70s across central Kansas to lower 80s across the KS/OK
border. Lows look to dip into the 50s Sunday and Monday morning with
highs reaching into the 80s Sunday and Monday afternoons.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
ISSUED AT 1242 AM CDT WED APR 30 2014

The pressure gradient across the TAF sites will continue today,
along with VFR flight conditions. Only a sct-bkn stratocumulus
cloud deck early this morning will have cigs at KHYS and KDDC in
the bkn050 range through 14-15Z.  Then, expect mostly clear skies
and north winds increasing to 26g35kts. The winds will settle to
33011kt after 01z this evening.
