...HEAT ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...

The National Weather Service in Dodge City has cancelled the Heat
Advisory. 

Temperatures will still warm to around 100-102 degrees for highs
today, but the atmosphere will be drier than the past couple of
days, and the lower afternoon humidity around 25 percent, combined
with south winds of 15 to 20 mph will contribute to increased
evaporation potential, thus a forecast heat index less than 105 
degrees.

Heat precautions should still be taken, even though the heat
advisory is no longer in effect!

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this heat advisory 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 heat advisory went out at Jul 18, 3:14 PM CDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 3:14 PM CDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
314 PM CDT Tue Jul 18 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Jul 18 2017

Upper level ridging will persist across the High Plains
through Friday with a weak surface trough in the lee of
the Rockies. A warm front over northern Kansas this
afternoon will continue moving northward. A subtropical plume of
moisture will head north into the Desert Southwest by Saturday and
then curve northeastward into the Southern Rockies and high
plains region by the weekend. A weak cold front is forecast to
move southward into Kansas by the weekend. A minor upper level
disturbance is still advertised to approach western Kansas by
early next week as the mid level flow becomes more zonal across
the Rockies.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Jul 18 2017

With the upper level ridging in place, hot and dry weather
can be expected through Wednesday. The warm front over
northern Kansas will probably be too far north for thunderstorm
activity near I-70 late this afternoon. Lows tonight will be in
the lower 70s with highs Wednesday from 100 to 102. Opted to issue
a heat advisory for Wednesday, even though it's probable that we
won't quite reach criteria since the lower levels will be
drier than today. But since advisories are already in place
around us, opted to go ahead and mesh with surrounding offices.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Jul 18 2017

After several days of temperatures near or slightly over
100 degrees, temperatures will back off a little by next
weekend as the upper level ridge breaks down and low
level moisture increases. There is a chance of thunderstorms
beginning Saturday as the aforementioned surface front
pushes southward into Kansas and mid level moisture arrives
from the desert southwest.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1253 PM CDT Tue Jul 18 2017

South winds will prevail through the period as a surface trough
persists over the high plains. There is only a slight chance of
a t-storm near Hays from 23 to 04z in vicinity of a warm front.
Outside of thunderstorms VFR conditions will persist.
