Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 1:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 100 PM CDT Sun Oct 16 2022 ...UPDATE TO LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 1200 PM CDT Sun Oct 16 2022 Tranquil conditions will persist tonight into Monday as ridging aloft continues to build while shifting slowly east through the northern Intermountain West. Any precip chances are expected to remain confined well to our south in association with a closed upper low tracking east through the Desert Southwest. A colder air mass settling across the Western High Plains will be reinforced tonight by surface high pressure sliding east-southeast through the Upper Midwest and Central Plains, further dropping H85 temperatures closer to 0C in central Kansas. Depending on how long ongoing cloud cover lasts into tonight, we could see lows dipping near to a little below freezing across northern zones, particularly up near the I-70 corridor. Otherwise, lows mainly in the 30s(F) are to be expected by early Monday morning. For Monday, should see afternoon highs generally up into the 60s(F) with temperatures potentially struggling to climb out of the 50s(F) in central Kansas. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 1252 PM CDT Sun Oct 16 2022 A prevailing dry pattern will continue through the end of the week as amplified ridging aloft across much of the Intermountain West Tuesday begins to slowly break down, giving way to a more zonal flow aloft by the weekend. Little change in temperatures is expected from Monday into Tuesday with surface high pressure slow to extend farther southeast through the Central Plains. Expect highs Tuesday generally up into the 50s/60s(F). A warming trend is then projected to take place through the end of the week as the aforementioned upper level ridging breaks down as it edges into the Western High Plains. Highs reaching the 70s(F) can be expected Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures pushing well above normal Friday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1052 AM CDT Sun Oct 16 2022 VFR conditions will prevail in vicinity of all TAF sites through early Monday. Light northeasterly winds will persist across southwest and central Kansas as surface high pressure continues to shift slowly east-southeast across the Upper Midwest and Central Plains. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
