RBURGWhat 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 May 25, 1:31 AM CDT, 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 25, 1:31 AM CDT, 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 131 AM CDT MON MAY 25 2015 ...UPDATED AVIATION SECTION... .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 225 PM CDT SUN MAY 24 2015 A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHWESTERN KANSAS BY LATE TONIGHT AND THEN INTO NEBRASKA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE LOWER LEVELS HAVE BEEN STABILIZED SOMEWHAT BY REPEATED MCS ACTIVITY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, SOME RECOVERY IS EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON OVER FAR WESTERN KANSAS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AND MID TO UPPER LEVEL COLD POOL. THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALREADY DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF COLORADO. ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL DEVELOP CLOSE TO THE COLORADO STATE LINE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING STORMS BUT A TRANSITION TO MORE LINEAR TYPE STRUCTURES IS LIKELY GIVEN THE STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT. ALSO, UPPER LEVEL WINDS IN THE TROUGH AXIS WERE WEAK, YIELDING VERY WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHEAR. SO DESPITE THE MODERATE SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES, HAIL ONLY AS LARGE AS HALF DOLLARS IS EXPECTED. THE STORMS WILL PROBABLY EVOLVE INTO AN ORGANIZED CLUSTER AND PROGRESS NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS TONIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM ELKHART TO GARDEN CITY TO HAYS. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE HELD UP BY CLOUDS AND HIGH DEWPOINTS, WITH MAINLY 60S IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND 50S IN FAR WESTERN KANSAS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL APPROACH WESTERN KANSAS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. A FEW LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. DUE TO THE WEAK SHEAR, THESE STORMS WILL PROBABLY BE LIMITED TO SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARMER IN THE ABSENCE OF UPSLOPE FLOW, WITH HIGHS FROM THE MID 70S IN FAR WESTERN KANSAS TO THE LOWER 80S IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 328 PM CDT SUN MAY 24 2015 MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY GIVING WAY TO A MORE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS. MEANWHILE, THE GFS AND ECMWF HINT AT A SMALLER UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE EJECTING OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE FLOW ALOFT IS PROJECTED TO BE FAIRLY WEAK DURING THIS TIME FRAME, ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT WITH H85 DEWPOINTS IN EXCESS OF 10C. AS LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AND MODEST INSTABILITY DEVELOPS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE SHORTWAVE, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER, SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LIMITED WITH UNFAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES AND CAPE VALUES WELL UNDER 1000 J/KG. LIMITED THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS A SERIES OF H5 VORT MAXIMA BEGIN TO MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS DOWNSTREAM OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY WITH LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED TO THE OVERALL AIR MASS. THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW H85 TEMPERATURES WELL UP INTO THE TEENS(C) TO NEAR 20C. SHOULD SEE HIGHS CLIMBING WELL UP INTO THE 70S(F) TO NEAR 80F ONCE AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SIMILAR HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OVERALL AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 131 AM CDT MON MAY 25 2015 ACTIVE EVENING TO EARLY OVERNIGHT OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS BEGINNING TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE GCK AND HYS TERMINALS WHILE A COUPLE MORE HOURS WILL EXIST FOR DDC. OTHERWISE, CEILING AND VISIBILITY VALUES ARE IMPROVING BEHIND THE CONVECTION WITH MVFR VALUES ANTICIPATED.
