Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
328 AM CDT FRI APR 29 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016

A strong upper level trough was approaching the high plains this
morning and will eject across western Kansas in negative tilt
fashion this afternoon and tonight. Surface low pressure over west
Texas is expected to move into southern Kansas by tonight.
Plentiful low level moisture from the Gulf of Mexico was
available. Elevated CAPE north of the front was resulting in
widespread thunderstorm activity, some of which was close to being
severe.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016

Widespread rain and thunderstorms will persist through late this
afternoon and then taper off from southwest to northeast tonight.
Localized rainfall amounts could exceed 3 inches in a few places,
with many places receiving an inch or greater. Temperatures will
be held down into the lower to mid 40s today in western Kansas,
with some lower 50s in south central Kansas. Temperatures will
fall into the 30s in western Kansas tonight, and some places
could see readings close to the freezing mark if there are any
breaks in the clouds. The best chance of the near-freezing
temperatures is in far southwestern Kansas. A special weather
statement was issued highlighting the potential for the cold
temperatures. Later shifts can assess whether a frost advisory is
needed.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016

Another upper level system will approach western Kansas by Sunday
but this system will be more progressive and weaker than the
current system. Some rain is possible from Sunday afternoon into
Monday but heavy amounts are not expected. Temperatures will
remain on the cool side through Monday; but a slow warming trend
is likely by Tuesday. Upper level ridging is expected to develop
over the western high plains by late week, allowing high
temperatures to rise well into the 70s. The next chance of rain
will be late next weekend as another large upper level trough
develops over the western United States.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1246 AM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016

Upslope flow and moisture transport above the surface will lead to
LIFR CIGS by 12z and which will persist through the period.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected as an upper
level disturbance approaches.

...NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE TONIGHT...

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE 30S TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH
OF WESTERN KANSAS. HOWEVER, WEST WINDS AT 10 TO 15 MPH ALONG WITH
SOME CLOUD COVER ARE EXPECTED TO PREVENT TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING
BELOW FREEZING AND MAY ALSO PREVENT FROST FORMATION. THE BEST
CHANCE OF TEMPERATURES GETTING CLOSE TO THE FREEZING MARK, WHICH
COULD RESULT IN FROST, IS ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM LIBERAL TO
ULYSSES TO SYRACUSE. THIS AREA HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING SOME
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND WILL HAVE LIGHTER WINDS, WHICH WOULD
ALLOW FOR COLDER READINGS NEAR THE GROUND AND IN LOW LYING AREAS.
