Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
155 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017

...UPDATE TO LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017

Precip chances this evening will be reliant on how quickly
conditions can recover in wake of the outflow passage from this
morning's convection. Short range models continue to show a weak
frontal boundary attendant to the upper level shortwave trough in
the Upper Midwest, moving southward across southwest and south
central Kansas early this evening. Albeit delayed due to extended
recovery time, thunderstorms are still expected to trigger in an
axis of increased forcing in the vicinity of the front as it
pushes slowly southward across the area. Although possibly further
south due to timing, the best chance for thunderstorms will be
across south central Kansas and into southern portions of southwest
Kansas. Surface dewpoints in the 60s(F) and steepening low/mid
level lapse rates will lead to MLCAPE values upward of 1500 to
2000 J/kg ahead of the boundary. Although the flow aloft will
remain fairly weak, sufficient instability combined with a
reasonable amount of shear will increase the potential for strong
to severe thunderstorms into the early evening time period. The
strongest storms will be capable of producing quarter to golf
ball size hail and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph.

Somewhat cooler air will filter southward into western Kansas
behind the boundary tonight dropping lows well down into the
60s(F) across the area. A few upper 50s(F) will be possible in
west central Kansas and in the vicinity of the I-70 corridor in
central Kansas. Expect highs only up into the 80s(F) Monday
afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 153 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017

A generally dry pattern is expected across much of western Kansas
through the middle part of the week as medium range models show
upper level ridging building across the Great Basin and the Four
Corners Region during the period. Drier air filtering into the high
plains and a weak northerly flow aloft will limit precip chances
across the region through at least Thursday. As for temperatures,
little change is expected to the air mass settling in across the
high plains through much of the period. Look for highs generally in
the 80s(F) to near 90F each day through the end of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017

Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will be possible late
this afternoon and evening in the vicinity of a weak frontal
boundary as it moves southward across south central and eastern
portions of soutwest Kansas...potentially affecting KDDC, KLBL,
and to a lesser degree KGCK. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail
at all TAF sites through early Monday morning. Light southeasterly
winds this afternoon will turn northeasterly 10 to 20kt this evening
as the aforementioned front moves southward into northern Oklahoma.
