Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
1158 PM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020

...Updated aviation discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 324 PM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020

A few storms are expected to form along a dryline across far
western Kansas and a frontal boundary currently sliding into
northwest Kansas this evening. The strongest storms will be
capable of producing hail up to golf balls and winds around 60
mph. The storms across far western Kansas are expected to
dissipate after sunset with a few storms along the frontal
boundary hanging around as the night progresses. Otherwise expect
an increase in cloudiness with southeast winds ahead of the front.
This frontal boundary will then slide south cross the CWA by
tomorrow morning shifting winds to the east to northeast. Another
weak disturbance will move around the northern periphery of the
upper level high tomorrow allowing for showers and thunderstorms
to develop once again. However, it doesn't appear the storms will
be severe given the position of the surface front farther south
into the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. As for temperatures, lows
tonight are progged to dip into the 60s with highs tomorrow only
reaching into the 80s tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 324 PM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020

The upper level ridge will continue to strengthen over the western
United States during the long term with northwest flow over the
Central High Plains. This pattern will keep temperatures a little
cooler than normal with opportunities for showers and
thunderstorms through the early part of next week. Western Kansas
then looks to dry out as we head into the middle part of next
week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1158 PM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020

Thunderstorms in the Hays vicinity should be moving out and/or
dissipating at the beginning of this TAF period. A weak cold front
will move south across central and southwest Kansas through the
overnight hours. Some additional showers and thunderstorms could
occur along the front but convective trends should diminish
through the late night hours. Some fog could develop near and
north of Garden City before sunrise. The remainder of the period
should be fairly quiet until after 00z Sunday when potential for
scattered thunderstorms will increase as a convective system
develops and moves into the area from the northwest. There is
still some uncertainty to the location and coverage of storms so
have left the TAFs dry for now.
