Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
642 PM CDT Fri Jun 29 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Fri Jun 29 2018

Another hot and windy afternoon for SW KS. Temperatures again will
top out in the 98-100 degree range, and south winds will again
gust to near 40 mph. Models including the 12z NAM/GFS and HRRR
remain consistent developing scattered thunderstorms along the
convergent trough/dryline axis along the Colorado/Kansas border
during the 5-7 pm timeframe, and then convection subsequently
spreads eastward to the US 283 corridor by 12-2 am. Various models
latch onto a shortwave embedded in the SW flow aloft to generate
the storms, although it remains noted the ECMWF continues to
remain dry for tonight. Kept pops in the chance/scattered category
for now, but if various CAMs and the 12z GFS are correct, pops
will need to be increased to the likely category. Moderate CAPE
and modest wind shear will support mainly multicellular convective
clusters, capable primarily of outflow wind gusts of 60-70 mph.
Midlevel moisture will be healthy, overlaying a deeply mixed
boundary layer (inverted-V profiles). A conference call was
performed to address the damaging wind threat to customers and
partners, emphasizing the wind threat across the western CWA.
Some marginally severe hail is also likely with the strongest
cells, but as cold pools consolidate, strong outflow winds will be
the main concern. Latest HRRR iterations suggest showers and
thunderstorms may survive all the way to the eastern border with
Wichita's CWA by 3 am Saturday. Otherwise, breezy S/SE winds will
continue tonight outside of convection, with again temperatures
struggling to fall through the 70s.

On Saturday, expected cold front will enter NW Kansas around
midday, ending up near the I-70 corridor around peak heating.
The frontal boundary will intersect the best instability near the
NE zones, where pop grids continue to be favored by afternoon.
This is the area most at risk for surface-based severe
thunderstorm development Saturday afternoon/evening per SPCs
Day 2 outlook, however, much of this large hail/damaging wind
risk may end up largely in Wichita's CWA. Cold front is progged by
all models to quickly drop through SW KS Saturday evening,
accompanied by an abrupt shift to N/NE winds. 12z GFS, and to a
lesser extent 12z NAM, both suggest elevated instability in the
post-frontal environment Saturday night into Sunday morning, and
at least chance pops are warranted during this time frame.
12z GFS would suggest a fairly widespread 0.25-0.50" of rain is
possible during this timeframe. With north winds and rain-cooled
outflow, temperatures are expected to fall back to the 60s Sunday
morning.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 200 PM CDT Fri Jun 29 2018

After the opportunity for showers and thunderstorms late Saturday
and early Sunday, all indications are SW KS is in for a long
stretch of dry weather for the first week of July.

12z ECMWF continues to forecast a large MCS with heavy rain
across central Kansas Saturday night; some of this will likely
impact at least the NE zones, and its outflow will help propel
the cold front through SW KS through Sunday morning. Temperatures
will be noticeably milder on Sunday, with afternoon highs reduced
to the upper 80s (actually a few degrees below normal). Most
models push the frontal boundary well south of SW KS into the
Texas panhandle at peak heating Sunday; as such, left forecast dry
with only token pops (<15%) late Sunday.

Models including 12z ECMWF suggest high pressure aloft will remain
weak enough (or at least far enough east of SW KS) to allow for
one more chance of showers and thunderstorms in Kansas on Monday.
Any convection that can form late Monday would favor the NE zones
where instability will be greater.

Tuesday through Thursday...Models show 500 mb heights steadily
rising. Large strong anticyclone initially over the NE U.S. on
Tuesday will expand and retrograde westward through the week, such
that by Friday a sprawling 598-600 dm ridge dominates the weather
across the Rockies and the plains. It will be exceptionally
difficult to generate rainfall in this pattern, and all grids past
Monday are dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 634 PM CDT Fri Jun 29 2018

VFR will continue to prevail through Saturday, although there will
be some convective concerns. Line of convection developing over SE
Colorado at 22z will progress eastward to the US 283 corridor by
midnight. The HRRR iterations have been consistent with timing,
with strong support from 18z NAM and GFS, so followed the
convective TEMPO timing as seen in the 18z TAFs. Primary risk from
thunderstorms through tonight will be surface outflow wind gusts
of 50-60 kts. Outside of convection, SE winds will continue to
prevail overnight, averaging 15-25 kts. Another low level jet will
create LLWS at all airports starting around 06z Sat. After 15z
Sat, south winds will increase again, averaging 20-30 kts with
higher gusts. The strongest south winds on Saturday are expected
at DDC/HYS. Another chance of thunderstorms is evident near HYS at
the end of this TAF period, and included VCTS/CB for now.
