Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
624 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2016

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 1250 PM CDT Sat May 7 2016

Closed cyclone spinning over Utah this afternoon, with surface
dryline sharpening over SE Colorado and eastern New Mexico. First
spoke of energy rotating out ahead of the low ignited a band of
light showers and isolated thunder, which will continue to move
northeast this afternoon. Next much stronger vort max/short wave
arrives in the western zones around 4-5 pm. Convection allowing
short term models continue to forecast a couple isolated
supercells on the dryline late this afternoon. This seems
reasonable, but boundary layer moisture quality is quite limited
for May standards. Still, one or two supercells will likely form
over the NW zones by 4 pm, and then move NE. As such, included
severe hail/wind wording in the grids for the northern zones for a
few hours early this evening. An outside shot of a supercell as
far south as Liberal this evening. Whatever convection does
develop will diminish quickly with the loss of heating, and as
primary forcing lifts well north of SW KS. Generally quiet
overnight, with perhaps some stratus/drizzle/fog near Medicine
Lodge by sunrise Sunday. Lows tonight ranging from the mid 40s far
west to near 60 at Kiowa.

Sunday...Concerned about significant severe weather during the
afternoon and evening, particularly from Dodge City eastward.
Very large hail and tornadoes are possible.

Strong shortwave progged to be near the New Mexico bootheel at
sunrise Sunday. This feature will lift NE, entering SW KS during
peak heating Sunday afternoon. As parent upper low ejects to near
Cheyenne, strong surface cyclogenesis is expected across the
western CWA. Moisture quality will increase across the eastern
zones, and team up with strong forcing for ascent from arriving
jet max and shortwave. As outlined in the new moderate risk issued
by SPC, a few intense tornadic supercells are likely in/near the
SE zones Sunday afternoon/evening. The counties most at risk for
tornadoes and very large hail are Stafford, Pratt and Barber.
Depending on how far east the dryline mixes, significant severe
weather may occur as far west as Dodge City. Residents of south
central Kansas should keep the weather in mind, and have a way to
receive warnings while enjoying Mother's Day plans.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Sat May 7 2016

Monday...Upper low drifts NE to central South Dakota, with cool
cyclonic flow persisting over Kansas. Various vort maxima rotating
within the circulation will likely keep a few showers and
thunderstorms around, favoring the northern counties. Temperatures
cool a few degrees below Sunday's readings.

Monday night and Tuesday...A period of dry weather, beneath short
amplitude ridging aloft. Afternoon temperatures warm several
degrees over Monday's readings.

Tuesday night and Wednesday...Next upper low moves unseasonably
far north of SW KS, across the Dakotas. Trailing energy and
associated cold front likely to trigger additional rain showers
and some thunder during this time frame, again favoring the
northern counties. Cold front will pass SW KS Tuesday night,
followed by markedly cooler temperatures (highs in the 60s) on
Wednesday.

Thursday through Saturday...Quiet PNA pattern (strong high
pressure over the Desert SW and cold vortex over Hudson Bay)
will prevail. Temperatures warm substantially Thursday and Friday,
back into the 80s by Friday. Chances for precipitation and severe
convection will remain minimal given this synoptic pattern.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 616 PM CDT Sat May 7 2016

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across western Kansas
this evening. The probability for these storms to move near GCK
and DDC currently appears low enough so will not be including a
mention of these storms in the 00z tafs. Did however insert a
period of VCTS in at Hays later tonight given the higher
probability here between 05z and 09z Sunday. Based on the latest
observations near these storms along with the 18z NAM BUFR
soundings cloud bases overnight from these storms will be at or
above 7000 ft AGL so VFR conditions are expected. The gusty south
winds at 15 to 20 knots at 00z Sunday will fall back into the 10
to 15 knot range between 03z and 06z Sunday.
