Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
341 AM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

...Updated Short term and Long term Discussions...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 337 AM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

Morning clouds will give way to some afternoon sunshine as a
surface ridge builds across western Kansas. By late day an area of
low pressure will be developing over extreme southeast Colorado
as the next upper level disturbance moves into the Central Rockies
from the west. A surface boundary will extend from this
developing surface low into the panhandle of Texas. Warm air
advection/isentropic lift will begin to develop across southwest
Kansas tonight which should result in some increasing clouds
during the overnight hours.

Highs today based on the 900mb to 850mb temperatures late day are
expected to climb back into the 50s across western and central
Kansas. Highs will range from the upper 50s in south central
Kansas to the lower 50s along the i-70 corridor. Tonight the
increasing clouds across portions of southwest and south central
Kansas are expected to keep the lows up a few degrees more than
further north. Lows near the Oklahoma border are expected to be
upper 30s. Areas of frost will be possible late tonight north of
the Arkansas river where temperatures are expected to bottom out
in the low to mid 30s. Temperatures near the freezing mark will be
most likely along and north of a Garden City to Larned line.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 337 AM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

Rain chances will return Thursday night as the first in a series
of upper level troughs cross the Central Plains. As this upper
wave crosses western Kansas there will be a chance for showers and
possibly even a few isolated thunderstorms Thursday night. As
this upper wave passes some warmer temperatures are expected to
return Friday and Saturday. This minor warmup however will not
last long and as another round of colder air is expected to return
late this weekend. Temperatures near 60 will be possible in parts
of western Kansas Friday and Saturday but then highs Sunday and
Monday are expected to once again be confined to the 40s behind
our weekend cold front.

There may be some light snow on Sunday but at this time the
probability for snow based on the latest model runs still appears
small. Rain chances however continue to look likely for much of
western Kansas this weekend. Over the weekend the next upper
level trough is forecast to move from the northern Rockies on
Saturday to the Central Plains on Sunday. Moisture and lift ahead
of this upper level trough will result in improving chances for
precipitation, especially Saturday night and Sunday as a surface
cold front crosses western Kansas. As this upper level trough
crosses the Central Plains on Sunday and colder air returns to
western Kansas behind this cold front there will be a chance for
the rain mixing with or even changing to snow before ending.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1227 AM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

Drier air will return to western Kansas overnight as a surface
ridge builds into Western High Plains, and an upper level
disturbance lifts northeast into Nebraska. RAP and NAM BUFR
soundings does indicate some lingering low level moisture will be
present through 15z Wednesday in the 1000 to 2500 ft AGL level.
Ceilings are expected to improve some overnight but given the low
level moisture forecast at 12z Wednesday will keep MVFR ceilings,
and even a period of IFR ceilings, going through 12z Wednesday.
These low clouds are expected to give way to clearing skies after
daybreak. The winds will be northwest at 10 to 15 knots overnight
and Wednesday..
