AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
1028 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

...Updated for Aviation...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 338 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

A strong upper level storm system will move across the southern
plains through Sunday and then eject northeastward into the
central plains and upper Midwest on Monday and Tuesday. Cold high
pressure will progress into the central plains through Monday with
strong north winds. Another upper level storm system will traverse
the plains by Tuesday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 338 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

In the wake of the front today, windy and cold weather will
arrive. There is quite a bit of uncertainty for late this
afternoon and evening as some of the models including the GEM and
NAM spread accumulating snow into southwest Kansas. Temperatures
will be steady or slowly falling today. With snow over the
southern half of western Kansas tonight, temperatures will fall
into the teens and 20s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday THROUGH Friday)
ISSUED AT 338 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

There is still quite a bit of uncertainty with the aggressiveness
of the trowal with enhancing snow amounts across western Kansas
for Sunday and Monday. The operational NAM/SREF are the most
aggressive and given how strong the system is, we would expect to
see a very impressive trowal, strong warm advection and lift at
mid levels and a precipitation shield that extends farther to the
northwest. This could result in much of the precipitation over
south central Kansas being in the form of sleet, depending on just
how warm it gets at 700mb. Strong lift may discourage warming at
700mb despite the trowal. Based on collaboration, we opted at this
time to keep the blizzard and winter storm watches in place and
the day shift can reassess before the main system arrives. There
is the potential for heavy snow amounts of 6 to 12+ inches. We
stayed on the conservative side with snow amounts for now for
southwest Kansas with 5 to 8 inches in the blizzard watch area
even for locations that are expected to receive all snow. Later
shifts may have to raise these amounts if the SREF remains
consistent.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z Sunday AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1023 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

As a winter storm system approaches, winds will increase along
with areas of snow and blowing snow. MVFR/IFR cigs are forecast
with winds increasing from the north at 28-38kt. Areas of snow and
blowing snow along with reduced visibilities are forecast after
23-02Z.
