Area forecast discussion, May 28, 2:59 PM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 259 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019 ...Updated short and long term discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 259 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019 A loosely defined dryline was moving through southwest Kansas early this afternoon. The best low level convergence was currently over south central KS in the vicinity of Medicine Lodge. Vis satellite imagery showed some increase in cumulus development in that area. Will keep some slight chance pops in south central late this afternoon for a potential storm but given that satellite loops show the line of cumulus working its way east, think storms may very well develop east of the St John-Medicine Lodge corridor. CAMs have been showing some thunderstorm development over west central into northern Kansas along a Tribune-Wakeeney line late this afternoon along a stationary frontal boundary that has been across that area today. Instability is not all that impressive out toward the Colorado border but increases farther northeast. A few storms could develop and move northeast through that area late this afternoon but storms should move out of the area early this evening. Cold front moves southeast across the forecast area tonight. Wednesday will be a little cooler with drier air spreading into the central High Plains behind the front. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 259 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019 An upper level trough will linger over the region through Wednesday night before moving east on Thursday. There is a small possibility of a few thunderstorms moving off the front range and possibly making it into far southwest Kansas Wednesday night but not real confident in this. Upper level ridging develops over the region on Thursday into the weekend. Return flow develops late in the week pulling low level moisture, and increasing chances for thunderstorms, back into the central Plains. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1236 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019 A few thunderstorms will be possible in the Hays area later this afternoon and early evening and have added VCTS to the terminal to account for this. The remainder of the southwest Kansas terminals should remain storm free through this period. A cold front will move southeast across the area tonight, possibly as early as 03-04z. Winds will become north to northwest behind the front, gusting to 20-25 knots at times. Winds should diminish late in the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
