Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
720 PM CDT Tue Jul 14 2020

...Updated Aviation...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 311 PM CDT Tue Jul 14 2020

Confidence for thunderstorms expanding across the entire forecast
area this evening is much higher than last evening. There is already
an axis of 4500+ j/kg SBCAPE north of a warm front over NW Oklahoma
with overall weak shear across sw Kansas.  The CAMs begin developing
convection near the Sangre Cristos and Palmer Divide Areas around
19z slowly driving those discreet storms farther east through the
early evening and reaching our far southwest counties in the early
evening. The general trend of the CAMs would bring the MCS through
Garden City and Dodge City probably after about 3Z and through the
midnight timeframe, exiting the eastern counties after midnight.
Some risk of excessive rainfall exists as the models produce a swath
of 2 to as much as localized 4 inch bullseyes of rainfall oriented
southwest to northeast across much of the area that the latest 72
hours QPE indicated has been dry in recent days.

A synoptic cold front will dive south across the area following the
convection tonight, probably covering the area gain with low stratus
to start the early morning Wednesday.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 311 PM CDT Tue Jul 14 2020

A cooler day is expected on Wednesday owing to the previous night's
convective outflow and morning  clouds that will need to be eroded by
insolation. Clouds will gradually mix out during he day and surface
winds return to a southeast trajectory by Wednesday evening. The
overall trend of the models is for any convection on Wednesday
night to be nocturnal. Thursday evening looks like the last
opportunity for thunderstorms before the hotter regime returns to
the area for the weekend with a tough near the CO/KS and and the
return of southwest downslope winds.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 652 PM CDT Tue Jul 14 2020

High confidence exists that a thunderstorm complex will enter
Kansas after 1Z and move east behind a weak cold front. However,
confidence is low regarding exact placement and timing of storms.
Most guidance suggests LBL/DDC will see the highest chance of
storms in the 03-07Z time frame. In the wake of storms Wednesday
morning, light N/NE winds behind the cold front will likely bring
a stratus deck and low cigs/IFR to all TAF sites with steady
improvement after 15Z.
