Area forecast discussion, May 23, 11:07 PM CDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 1107 PM CDT Thu May 23 2019 ...Updated Aviation... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 302 PM CDT Thu May 23 2019 Plentiful moisture, frontal boundary and upper level disturbance will lead to widespread thunderstorms, some severe, through the midnight hour. Surface based storms, which may be tornadic, will be confined to the warm front zone over south central Kansas, with elevated hailers to the north and west. On Friday the effective frontal boundary will be undergoing frontolysis, but there should still be enough convergence for surface based storms in south central Kansas; and some of these will likely be severe with large hail and damaging winds. These storms may be south and east of Barber county depending on the exact location of the front. South central Kansas will have to be watched for additional flooding given the heavy rains expected. .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
