AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
401 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2014

...updated short term...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
ISSUED AT 358 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

Blowing dust has reduced visibility to around 1 to 2 miles at many
of the ASOS/AWOS sites in the area outlined by a high wind warning
this afternoon with locally reported visibility in  the 50 to 200
foot range locally. as a result a dust advisory was issued in
addition to the high wind warning that will remain in effect until
early this evening. The primary forecast issue will continue to be
gradient winds going foreword as the upper 500 mb low lifts northeast
overnight into sw Nebraska by around 12z Monday. Based on increasing
evidence from model output statistics guidance as well as the raw
models thermal profiles decoupling, winds will remain breezy to
marginally windy through the overnight hours while turning westerly.
Surface wind speeds should begin mixing very quickly early Monday
morning reaching advisory criteria by mid morning as the strong
momentum transfer occurs. Local GFS model output statistics supports
several hours of 35 knot sustained wind speeds as far south as
Garden City and Dodge City. Given a typical high winds analog as
this upper low track definitely is, we have decided to go with a
High Wind Watch for Monday. Cooler conditions are expected
Monday which will negate the opportunity for red flag conditions
experienced over central Kansas this afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 352 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

The latest medium range model runs from this morning all continue to
show a large slow moving upper level low pressure system dominating
the weather picture over the Plains and Midwest during the early
part of the extended period. To the west of the low, strong
meridional flow will be in place from central Canada into the
central United States. This weather pattern will mean much cooler
temperatures along with a few days of gusty northwesterly winds
across western Kansas.

After a very windy day on Monday, model wind fields show fairly
strong winds continuing off the surface over central and parts of
southwest Kansas Monday night. We should have some decoupling as a
boundary layer inversion develops. If not, we could be looking winds
continuing around advisory criteria for parts of the area into the
night.

A short wave trough rotating around the west side of the upper low
will push south through the central High Plains late Monday night
into Tuesday morning. The models continue to indicate light rain
showers associated with this shortwave. Moisture profiles look most
favorable for precipitation toward central Kansas. Will continue the
trend of highest pops around Hays with pops diminishing to slight
chance toward far southwest Kansas. Precipitation chances may wind
down quicker than what is currently indicated in the grids. Another
shortwave trough dives south through the Rockies into New Mexico on
Wednesday. The models are not generating much in the way of
precipitation over the High Plains with this wave however.

Later in the week, the upper flow becomes more northwesterly across
the lower 48 states as the upper low fills and continues to lift
northeast. The models indicate weak shortwaves moving out of
southern Canada across the northern Plains into the Midwest. The
Allblend in the CR_ExtendFcst_Init generates some slight chance pops
across southwest Kansas on Friday night and Saturday night. Model
soundings show the moisture with these systems confined to the mid
and upper levels of the troposphere. Given that most significant
energy with the shortwave troughs will be in the northern Plains,
will keep the forecast dry for Friday/Saturday nights for now.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
ISSUED AT 614 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

Besides wind, this forecast will be VFR. As an upper level low
tracks from extreme southwest Kansas this morning to south central
Nebraska tonight, some high clouds will be wrapping to the west
and south. Surface winds will blow hard from the southwest at
24G32KT, then shift to the west this afternoon at 28G40KT.
