Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
812 PM CST Fri Jan 11 2019

...Updating snow totals north and northeast of Garden City....

.UPDATE...
Issued at 807 PM CST Fri Jan 11 2019

Snow reports across Lane county between 7 and 8 pm CST ranged
from 2 to 4 inches. This snowfall occurred ahead of a band of
steadier and heavier snowfall that was slowly southeast across
Lane and Trego counties at this time. Snow fall rates of around 1
inch hour possible in this band and given this additional
snowfall early tonight in this very slow moving band do expected
snow totals to excess 6 inches across portions of Trego, Ness, and
Lane counties. Will therefore be updating snow amounts and
upgrading the winter weather advisory to a winter storm warning.
The band of steadier and heavier snowfall developing earlier
tonight did extend as far south as northern Grant county but
totals further south are still expected to stay in the 4-6inch
range.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 317 PM CST Fri Jan 11 2019

Forecast snow amounts continue to be the main forecast challenge
tonight into early tomorrow morning. Water vapor loop and RAP
analysis showed the mid level cyclone developing nicely across far
northeastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. The main 400mb
potential vorticity (PV) stream was just beginning to round the base
of the trough across southern New Mexico, so slight increase in the
cyclone strength is expected tonight, as the mid level low itself at
500-700mb is pulled slightly southward toward the PV max. What this
means is that greatest 700mb frontogenesis tonight will likely be
just a bit farther south, so we have expanded the 4-6" snow area
south a little bit more, including Dodge City. The 1-3" area was
also expanded south, so we will be adding more counties to the
Winter Weather Advisory. We have decided against a Winter Storm
Warning as of 3 PM CST, given the fact that any 6+ inch snowfall
amounts will probably be confined to a fairly small area. The
incoming evening shift will have to monitor trends very closely,
though, and upgrade some counties as needed along/north of the 700mb
low track. Wind speeds in the 15-20 mph range will promote at least
some light blowing and drifting snow, although this will most likely
not be too much of a concern until early Saturday morning. Snow will
end from west to east early to mid morning. Following the storm
Saturday, temperatures are not expected to move much at all, with
lower to mid 30s for highs, coldest over the deeper snow cover areas.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 317 PM CST Fri Jan 11 2019

The new snowpack will have an impact on temperatures for at least a
few days late weekend into early next week. Snowpack areas will
likely see highs only in the upper 30s to lower 40s whereas areas
farther southwest where less snow is expected, temperatures will
start to warm back up into the 50s, especially by Tuesday with good
downslope conditions resuming across the central CONUS. On the
whole, next week looks rather quiet with fairly flat zonal flow
prevailing across much of the western and central CONUS.  Just
beyond this period, another active pattern appears possible based on
some signals from latest ECMWF. More on that later, though.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 514 PM CST Fri Jan 11 2019

Widespread snow and IFR ceilings can be expected at all TAF sites
through at least 09z Saturday. Visibilities of 1 to 3 miles will
be likely overnight but as a band of steadier and heavier
snowfall crosses southwest Kansas visibilities of 1/2 mile or
less can be expected at times. Snowfall rates of around one inch
an hour can be expected during this period. The better timing for
this heavier snowfall/low visibilities will occur in the Garden
City and Hays through 06z and most likely in the Dodge City area
between 03z and 06z Saturday. After 09z Saturday the snow will
begin to taper off and visibilities will improve. Ceilings however
will stay at or below 1200 ft AGL based on the latest BUFR
soundings. Winds overnight will be northeast at near 15 knots with
some higher gusts possible.
