Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
603 PM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1231 PM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

Widespread thunderstorms across the area expected this evening
into the early overnight. Two areas of concern with the storms
will be from northeast Colorado and southeast Colorado. The
northeast Colorado storms (which at the time of this forecast
discussion have formed just east of the Denver airport) should
move in to the northwest zones by late afternoon with the primary
threat of damaging winds and some hail. The southeast Colorado
storms will have the greater threat of being initially discrete
as they move into southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas
panhandle. Development for these storms should be shortly after
4pm. The environment ahead of the development of the southeast
Colorado storms continues to be the most favorable for the higher
impact severe storms. CAPE values of ~3000 J/kg with bulk shear
values in the 50 kt range and right curved hodographs for Elkhart,
Liberal, and Garden City will suggest any discrete cell capable
of producing destructive hail and isolated tornadoes. Both areas
should eventually converge into one long squall line and become
primarily a damaging wind threat east of highway 283.

Most of the thunderstorms should be out of the forecast area by
sunrise and Saturday looks quiet for most of the day. An outside
chance of an isolated thunderstorm could develop in the late
afternoon and evening as a 500-700 mb shortwave moves out of
eastern Colorado.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 131 PM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

Primary threat is coming on Sunday with an enhanced risk in place
for much of central and southwest Kansas. Newest updates with the
NAM and GFS continue to show widespread area of ~4000 J/kg CAPE
and bulk shear values increasing through the day. An upper level
low will move from Montana into Nebraska during the day and will
eject a strong shortwave out of eastern Colorado in the afternoon.
Areas of convection could develop earlier in the day along the
I-70 corridor (around noon) and convection will develop towards
the mid afternoon for areas to the south. Given the very unstable
environment the likelihood of a line of severe storms looks to be
the case however if any of the storms can stay discrete for an
hour or two large hail will be a threat. The biggest threat with
the storms should be damaging straight line winds and flash
flooding. Thunderstorm activity should be out of the area by
Monday morning.

Afterwards through the rest of the week, an upper level ridge will
move into the central plains providing warmer temperatures.
Shortwaves are still being suggested by the GFS so storms can't be
ruled out...but it does look like the weather pattern should be
more quiet.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 600 PM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

Strong to severe thunderstorms will spread eastward across west
central and southwest Kansas into central Kansas through late this
evening. This will increase the potential for brief MVFR/IFR
conditions in the vicinity of all TAF sites generally 00Z TO 03Z
this evening. Outside of gusty winds resultant of thunderstorm
produced outflow, prevailing southerly winds around 10 to 20kt
early this evening are expected to become relatively light and
variable overnight in wake of advancing thunderstorms as surface
high pressure fills in across the Western High Plains.
