Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
715 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 715 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2019

Increased pops into the likely category for most zones through
midnight. The supercell potential is decreasing rapidly, as MCS
generation begins, a bit further west than expected. Damaging bow
echo entering Scott county at 7:15 pm will thrive and accelerate
through the northern and northeast zones for the next several
hours. Given dewpoints well into the 60s ahead of this bowing
complex, damaging wind gusts in excess of 70 mph are a real
threat as the complex encounters increasing instability.  A new
severe thunderstorm watch is expected to be needed for the
remaining eastern zones eventually this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Saturday night)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2019

Instability will continue to increase rapidly through this
afternoon as moisture advection continues, with surface dewpoints
in the lower to mid 60s at most locations. Expect CAPE to continue
to mount beneath a warm elevated mixed layer through this
afternoon. As such, expect SW KS to remain convection free through
about 4 pm, when storms will enter the western zones. With CAPE
already cresting 3000 J/kg across the SW zones as of 11 am, values
of 4000-5000 are expected late this afternoon prior to
convection.

SPC has upgraded wind/hail probabilities to an enhanced risk as of
the late morning update. All indications suggest that scattered
supercells will initiate near the CO/KS border near 4 pm. Shear
and CAPE will support supercells during the first hours of
convective evolution, with large hail likely. High instability
will support hail to the size of baseballs with any discrete
supercell through 7 pm, primarily west of US 83. Starting around 7
pm, MCS genesis will begin across the central CWA, with hail size
diminishing and the wind threat increasing. Damaging wind gusts
of 60-70 mph are likely from any line segments across
central/eastern zones through this evening. Storms should proceed
quick enough to avoid significant hydrology issues, but will watch
closely with moist topsoils at many locations. Included large
hail and damaging wind in the grids for all zones this evening.

Being a Friday night in the early summer, there are many outdoor
recreational activities that will likely be impacted by these
storms this afternoon and evening. Remember, you don't need a
tornado for a thunderstorm to threaten life and property. Large
hail, damaging winds and lightning are very real threats to those
without available indoor shelter.

Subsidence behind the expected thunderstorm complex will clear the
sky and supply a light northerly wind shift by sunrise Saturday.

Much of daylight Saturday will be dry, as the atmosphere recovers
from the thunderstorm complex. Eventually CAPE will rebuild by
late afternoon, particularly south and east of Dodge City, with
CAPE as high as 5000 J/kg near Medicine Lodge. Again, much of this
energy will likely remained capped through at least 4 pm. If a
storm can initiate in this SE zone environment 4-7 pm Sat, then
supercells with very large hail are likely. 12z NAM and model
consensus shows convection redeveloping west of SW KS by 7 pm
Saturday, before progressing into the western zones as another MCS
with heavy rain and damaging winds Saturday evening. ECMWF has
shown great consistency showing strong MCS generation across the
southern/SE zones late Saturday, and now shorter range models are
showing similar solutions. Strong winds and flooding issues will
be concerns through Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2019

Active convective pattern will continue Sunday through Tuesday
night, with periods of showers and thunderstorms.

Shortwave that will help initiate and organize Saturday's severe
thunderstorms is progged to be east of SW KS, or at least
progressing east of SW KS, by late Sunday. Subsidence behind this
feature should induce a relative minimum in convective coverage
Sunday afternoon/night, with most activity east of SW KS. 12z
ECMWF suggests this, with support from extended 12z NAM. Still,
at least chance category pops are warranted, especially SE zones.

Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected Monday
through Tuesday night. At least chance category pop grids from the
NBM are warranted and accepted. Temperatures will change little
Sunday through Tuesday, with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s,
and lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

12z ECMWF shows rain chances dwindling late next week, Thursday
and Friday, along with warmer afternoon temperatures. This follows
the NBM trends and the 12z MEX guidance, with high temperatures by
Friday afternoon near 90.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 430 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2019

VFR will continue for the majority of this TAF cycle. That said, a
round of thunderstorms is still expected this evening. Satellite
and radar trends in Colorado suggest the HRRR model has a good
handle on convective timing, so little change was made to the
convective TEMPO groups as seen in the 18z TAFs. Expect storms to
be near GCK/LBL by 00z Sat, DDC by 01z, and HYS by 02z. Some
storms will reach severe limits, with outflow wind gusts as high
as 60 kts. The expected thunderstorm complex will move quickly,
with VFR and a light northerly wind shift through 12z Sat. VFR/SKC
and light winds will prevail early Saturday, with more convection
expected Saturday afternoon/night.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...south
central...southwest and west central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Day 1 Discussion
----------------

Afternoon and evening storms are expected once again with activity developing
out west across eastern Colorado and then spreading east across Kansas
through the evening. It is unclear how storm evolution will pan out.
Should there be more supercells rather than line segments, than hail
of 1.5 to 2.5 inches will be possible. If the activity is less supercellular
and more into lines, then outflow winds of 60 to 70 mph would be the
main hazard with some smaller sized hail.

Day 1 Hazards
-------------
* Hail: Limited risk
* Thunderstorm wind damage: Limited risk
* Lightning: Limited risk
* Excessive heat: Limited risk
* Non-thunderstorm wind: Limited risk

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Days 2-7 Discussion
-------------------

There will be bouts of storm activity during this period. Some of
the storms may be strong to severe with hail and wind as the primary
threats. Exact storm specifics will be not be resolvable until
the day of said activity.

Days 2-7 Hazards
----------------
* Saturday
  - Lightning: Elevated risk
  - Severe thunderstorm: Elevated risk

* Sunday
  - Lightning: Limited risk

* Monday
  - Lightning: Elevated risk

* Tuesday
  - Lightning: Elevated risk

* Wednesday
  - Lightning: Limited risk

* Thursday
  - Lightning: Limited risk

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
