Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 6:12 PM CDT, 4 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 612 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2014 ...Updated aviation section... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 115 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2014 Tonight: A pretty quiet night is expected across the forecast area. The exception to this is across Barber county where there is a slight chance of overnight thunderstorms. There is enough mu cape (3500 J/kg), fairly steep 700-500-hPa lapse rates of 6.7 C/km, and 40 kt of effective shear to produce marginally severe hail should a storm develop. The overall trend, particularly with the tail end of the HRRR, is that activity will be E/SE of Barber county, though. Otherwise, elsewhere will see dry conditions with lows in the 60s/70s and southerly winds through the overnight. Tomorrow: Hot! Lee troughing will strengthen tomorrow with SSW becoming breezy to low end wind advisory. Gone with the CON MOS for wind speeds for now as the mixed down procedure winds look too high. Something to be watched if an advisory is needed or not. Marginal event though. Highs will be in the upper 90s. Didn't want to go 100F just yet as the recent rains might keep temps down a degree or two. There could be elevated fire weather conditions just in terms of RH's and wind speeds out west, however, with the recent green up from all the MCS rains, don't think a headline is required. The dryline will mix east through the day and then retreat back west tomorrow evening. The WRF-NMM core is the only model indicating some precip, but not really keen on that for now. Will keep pops AB 14 percent. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 243 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2014 For Tuesday into Wednesday, a Pacific Northwest upper low and trough will slowly move east and into the Plains by late Wednesday. This system will give a chance for showers and thunderstorms by mainly Wednesday afternoon into the evening. Some storms may be strong to severe ahead of a dryline and cold front with dewpoints in the 60s and veering mid level winds. Ahead of this upper level storm system, high temps will be rather warm and in the mid to upper 90s on Tuesday afternoon, and low to mid 90s on Wednesday afternoon. Winds will be gusty from the south each day at 20 to 35 mph. For the period of Thursday into next Weekend, the upper level storm system will move slowly east on Thursday with a possibility of lingering storms in parts of south central Kansas. The GFS model is the slowest with movement of the system. More scattered storms are possible into the Weekend but the upper flow looks very weak for any organized widespread convection. High temperatures will be a little cooler with highs around 90 and lows in the 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) ISSUED AT 1200 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2014 VFR conditions will prevail overnight with mostly clear skies. Winds will generally be from the southeast at 8-10 knots shifting to the south and increasing to 15 to 20 knots by late morning. Gusts around 25 knots will also be expected by late morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
