Area forecast discussion, May 9, 6:49 PM CDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
649 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1120 AM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE FOUR CORNER'S REGION
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. A 90+ KNOT 250 MB JET WILL EXTEND AROUND
THE PERIPHERY OF THIS LOW STRETCHING FROM SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO,
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE NM/TX BORDER AND ALONG THE KS/CO BORDER. LOW
TO MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE CURRENTLY SATURATED ALLOWING
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO BE OBSERVED ACROSS A MAJORITY OF THE CWA.
TOWARDS THE SURFACE, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE LOCATED
ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO WITH AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT EXTENDING
EASTWARD THROUGH KANSAS. THIS WARM FRONT LOOKS TO SHIFT NORTHWARD
THIS AFTERNOON AND ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER BY THIS EVENING. A
DRYLINE WILL BE LOCATED ALONG THE KS/CO BORDER EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON SLIDING EASTWARD AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. MEANWHILE, MID
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE DRY OUT ACROSS FAR WESTERN KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON LEADING TO BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ALLOWING SUN TO
INFILTRATE TO THE SURFACE. WARMING TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH AMPLE
MOISTURE AND LIFT AT THE SURFACE WILL DESTABILIZE WESTERN KANSAS
WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE WEATHER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EVENING AND COME TO OUR WEBSITE, FACEBOOK, OR
TWITTER PAGE FOR THE MOST CURRENT SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 154 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO TREK NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THEN
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TOMORROW. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS THROUGH MIDNIGHT THEN PUSH EASTWARD
INTO WICHITA AND TOPEKA'S CWA. CLOUDS DECREASE IN COVERAGE FROM
WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA. ONLY A FEW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW
AS DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO WESTERN KANSAS. LOWS OVERNIGHT ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S ACROSS FAR WESTERN KANSAS TO
UPPER 50S ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. HIGHS BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT TOMORROW ARE ANTICIPATED TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER
50S ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS TO LOWER 70S ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 154 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SLIDE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE
ROCKIES. A DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE AT THE
SURFACE SUPPRESSING ANY ACTIVITY FROM FORMING ACROSS WESTERN
KANSAS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM A NORTHERLY DIRECTION DURING
THIS TIME FRAME WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED.

BY TUESDAY, ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE MOVING ONSHORE
OVER THE WEST COAST WITH INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER
THE PLAINS AS THE AXIS OF THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES EAST. AS A RESULT,
LEE SIDE TROUGHING WILL DEVELOP OVER EASTERN COLORADO WITH THE
INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW PULLING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK NORTH
FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH LIFTING OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS
AROUND WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER. WHILE THERE IS
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS WHERE LOW LEVEL FEATURES WILL BE TO HELP
FOCUS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST
KANSAS AROUND THURSDAY. CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE
OVER PARTS OF THE AREA INTO DAY SEVEN AS SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
CONTINUES OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHILE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH INTO KANSAS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, HIGHS LOOK TO BE IN THE MID 60S MONDAY THEN
INCREASE INTO THE 70S TUESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. LOWS
AROUND 40 DEGREES ARE FORECASTER MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWER TO MID
50S EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 643 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS KANSAS TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THE ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT, SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST, ALONG WITH A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD AFFECT KDDC/KGCK THROUGH 03Z AND
KHYS BETWEEN 03 AND 07Z. CIGS MAY BECOME IFR LATER IN THE EVENING
AT KDDC/KHYS; THEN SKIES WILL CLEAR AROUND 12-14 UTC AS A COLD
FRONT PASSES, ALONG WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST.
