Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
1040 PM CDT Mon May 6 2019

...UPDATE TO SYNOPSIS...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1037 PM CDT Mon May 6 2019

WV imagery indicates a weak ridge of high pressure transitioning
eastward across the Western High Plains. Meanwhile, an upper level
trough of low pressure is pushing eastward across southern
California. Near the surface, a cold front is pushing southward
across extreme southern southwest and south central Kansas.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Mon May 6 2019

Flood watch remains in effect for the southeast half or so of the
forecast area, through Wednesday afternoon. In the near term, all
convective allowing models continue with different spatial
versions of thunderstorm clusters developing along either the
both the dryline and the surface synoptic boundary late in the
day (likely by 6 pm) and congealing into larger clusters while
spreading east into central and south central Kansas. Expecting
additional severe weather as well though the evening with
significant hail threat, as well as isolated tornado and wind with
greatest focus near the frontal boundary (Garden city to Rush
county and south to the Highway 400 corridor. Expect convection to
persist beyond midnight into the early morning hours especially
in south central Kansas counties as the severe threat, (but not
heavy rain) weakens.

Severe convection chances look relatively high again for Tuesday as
the models suggest not enough push southward of the boundary to
get all of southwest Kansas out of the warm sector. By Tuesday we
will have a strong upper vortex moving though the desert southwest
states, while the 850mb from appears to shift slightly northward
during the day, developing a surface low near the panhandles/Elkhart
area by the overnight hours.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Mon May 6 2019

By Wednesday, the front should move south of the region and
bringing a haul of cooler air over the entire area for the
remainder of the week. Stable high pressure settling across the
area Thursday and Friday, resulting in cooler temperatures will
eventually begin to slow recover as return winds develop int
saturday, and showers and thunderstorm chances begin to return to
the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 614 PM CDT Mon May 6 2019

Thunderstorms will develop across much of southwest and central
Kansas later this evening, potentially affecting all terminals
with gusty outflow winds and low vsbys due to periods of heavy
rainfall. Meanwhile, low level stratus will continue to develop
along and behind a frontal boundary as it pushes slowly south
across western and central Kansas. Ongoing MVFR cigs at KHYS will
persist through this evening with IFR cigs possible generally
after 03Z as the stratus deck lowers overnight. MVFR, and
eventually IFR cigs, are expected to develop in the vicinity of
KGCK and KDDC later tonight with KLBL possibly affected toward
daybreak Tuesday morning.

Southerly winds 10 to 20kt will persist through mid/late evening
south of a near stationary frontal boundary extending across
southwest and central Kansas while northeast winds 10 to 20kt
prevail north of the boundary. The boundary is projected to begin
shifting southward overnight turning winds northeasterly 10 to
20kt across the remainder of southwest and central Kansas.
