Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
312 PM CDT FRI SEP 16 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 211 PM CDT Fri Sep 16 2016

A stubborn corridor of low stratus has persisted along the surface
cold front boundary this morning into the mid afternoon. These
clouds should improve along the central corridor, as the frontal
boundary eventually shifts east later this afternoon and tonight
while redeveloping farther east when the BL cools. The HRRR is
still holding on to chances for convection along what appears to
be a SE advancing radar fineline late this afternoon. The window
for isolated storms is small however with the loss of differential
heating.

By Saturday, weak high pressure settle in behind the surface
boundary which should be over western OK. That will mean generally
light and variable winds in central KS with more of and easterly
component for much of our area, and slightly warmer temperatures
around 80 with more abundant insolation.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 211 PM CDT Fri Sep 16 2016

Models indicate a shortwave moving out of the Rockies into the
Plains by late Saturday. The recent WRF runs are perhaps the most
robust in terms of driving initial surface based colorado
convection into western and even central Kansas Saturday night. It
is likely the mid level instability will be more of a factor in
sustaining storms this far east, as the surface dew points in the
far west have decreased significantly. The rest of the extended
period will generally be dry as a zonal flow and high pressure pattern
takes shape for the central Plains. However the model blends
suggest a return of thunderstorm chances late in the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1236 PM CDT Fri Sep 16 2016

IFR/LIFR stratus has held longer this morning than most of the
models have anticipated, leading to a few TAF amendments. Going
foreword, visible satellite imagery is showing significant breaks
and holes in the stratus layer, as area METARs show steady
improvement to the ceiling heights.
