Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
1213 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

...Updated Short Term...

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 1213 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

Waves of convection continue to regenerate across SW KS as of
midnight, as dynamic lift continues to arrive and interact with a
highly moist, unstable airmass. The threat of severe wind/hail and
tornadoes has virtually ended, with the risk now shifting toward
flooding. Storms are highly efficient rain producers, and training
of echoes over saturated soil will aggravate flooding concerns
over the next several hours. Eventually, the HRRR shows convection
exiting eastward out of SW Kansas by sunrise.

A relative break in convection is expected on Friday, as the
effective focusing boundary and instability is shunted to the
south and east of SW KS. Models place the boundary near the far SE
zones, and this is where chance category pops were retained (south
and east of Dodge City). Slight risk of severe from SPC for Barber
county and vicinity appears appropriate, although it appears
storms will struggle to develop any further NW than that. Friday
will be much warmer, as some sunshine and south winds return, with
afternoon temperatures rebounding well into the 70s.

Another round of severe convection is anticipated for Saturday.
00z NAM shows very strong instability building over SW KS in the
afternoon, beneath continued SW flow aloft. NAM progs CAPE on the
order of 3-4000 J/kg and lifted indices to -10C Saturday. 500 mb
flow is notably weaker than we have seen recently, but still
sufficient for convective organization and supercells. In fact,
NAM depicts enhanced 0-1 km EHI over SW KS Saturday evening as the
low level jet intensifies. Assuming discrete storm modes can be
maintained, we are expecting supercells with a distinct tornado
risk late Saturday. Kept scattered/chance category pops in the
grids Saturday afternoon, with warmer temperatures in the lower
80s.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Thu May 23 2019

The pattern will remain active through at least Monday as another
shortwave trough slowly approaches. There will be chances for
severe storms somewhere across the plains each day. Mesoscale
boundaries will likely play an increasing role in storm mode as
often happens as we get deeper into the warm season.

A break in the wet weather can be expected from late Tuesday into
early Thursday in the wake of the upper level disturbance. This
system will push a cold front through western Kansas with drier
air.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1107 PM CDT Thu May 23 2019

Scattered convection will continue for a few more hours, with
locally heavy rain and reduced cig/vis. HRRR model shows
convection ending and/or exiting eastward out of SW KS by 12z Fri,
with dry conditions returning to the airports. Outside of
convection, winds will trend light NW overnight, before becoming
light and variable around sunrise Friday. After 18z Fri, modestly
gusty south/southeast winds will resume at all airports, averaging
10-20 kts. VFR will prevail daylight Friday, with afternoon
convection favoring areas south and east of DDC.
