Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
105 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019

...Updated Long Term...

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 1142 AM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019

We continue to monitor the possibility of two rounds of
storms...the first round this afternoon mainly for areas from
the I-70 corridor to the Pratt and Medicine Lodge areas which
could have straight line winds, brief QLCS tornadoes, and flash
flooding. The second round will come in from eastern Colorado
this evening and move across southwest Kansas through midnight.

At the time of writing this discussion a mesoscale convective
vortex continues in north central Kansas with a stationary front
located roughly from Hays to Lamar, CO. CAPE values are continuing
to increase south of the front with already MUCAPE values
approaching 2000 in spots. CAM models are all in pretty good
agreement that the convective mode with the storms will be a QLCS
line and less likely a discrete supercell will last more than an
hour. Weak bulk shear values from 0-10 km should promote quick
upscale growth of storms. 0-3 km shear vectors look to be out of
the southwest at 30 kts which could promote a few QLCS tornadoes
in the line especially where the line bows back to the northwest
along with a straight line wind threat.

PW values in the 1.5-1.75" range suggest these storms will be
quite water loaded so that along with the weak bulk shear suggest
that hail will not be a great threat with these storms. Flash
flooding certainly will be since we already have some reports of
minor street flooding in Pawnee county from the morning convection
and a slight risk of flash flooding from the WPC.

Indications are the initial QLCS line will move out of our area
around 01-02Z and then the attention turns to the convection which
will develop in the front range of the Rockies and move into
western Kansas. If this area from Dodge City on west is
relatively untouched by the afternoon convection the evening
convection should have still an area of 1500-2000 CAPE to work
with which will provide a straight line wind risk along with more
localized heavy rain. The line of convection should move at a
pretty good clip so that by early Wednesday morning we should be
done with the storms and left with a quieter day.

Wednesday a high moves in behind the convective complex and we
should see clearing skies through the morning. There remains a
slight chance of some pop up storms in the afternoon mainly west
of Highway 83 with another slight shortwave moving in from the
northwest upper level flow pattern we will have.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 1256 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019

Thursday into Friday could be a couple of the hottest days of the
season upcoming as the upper flow and low level winds will be out
of the southwest as GFS and Euro are indicating 850 mb
temperatures will be in the upper 20 (C) range. Dewpoints will be
in the mid to upper 60s on Thursday with highs in the lower 90s.
Then the air should be drier on Friday which will allow highs to
make it into the mid 90s.

A strong cold front with a upper level trough should come in
through Saturday morning which could provide some storms along the
I-70 corridor. Temperatures should fall back into the 80s.

Long term models introduce another round of front range storms
moving through western Kansas from Saturday night into Sunday as
an upper level trough moves through.

At this point it does look like a couple of dry days to start
early next week as the trough exits and the upper level pattern
turns more zonal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019

Two rounds of storms will be possible from this afternoon through
this evening with an upper level low and a stationary front in the
region. The first round of storms will likely affect HYS and areas
to the east of DDC from 19Z-23Z with lowered visibilities at
times due to heavy rainfall from the storms. The next round of
storms will come out of eastern Colorado into western Kansas after
00Z and give GCK and DDC a couple hour window from 02Z-05Z of TS
with reduced visibilities from heavy rain. Once the storms exit
by 06Z cloud ceilings will continue to be the MVFR range (with
possible IFR range for HYS) through 12Z before we start to see
cloud ceilings lift through 18Z.
