Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
404 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

...Updated for mesoscale discussion...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 351 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

Key Messages...

Isolated supercell storms are possible across west central Kansas
this evening with hail 2" or greater. More widespread severe
storms with damaging winds and smaller hail are expected farther
east in central and parts of southwestern Kansas (Hays to Larned
to Pratt) as a line of storms develops this evening and
accelerates southeastward.

Technical discussion...

Early morning storms has lead to a large cloudy area across
southwest Kansas this afternoon. Around the northern periphery,
insolation has lead to destablization and thunderstorm
development. The storms on the western high plains will drift
southeastward and possibly enter Hamilton, Kearny or Scott
counties by 7 pm. Low level winds are weak so the tornado threat
will be low. And the storms may weaken upon entering a cooler air
mass during the evening. If the storms maintain themselves, 2" or
larger hail is possible. Farther east, ongoing severe convection
over north central Kansas will eventually turn southeastward and
accelerate once a cold pool develops. Marginally severe hail and
damaging winds as high as 65-70 mph are the main concerns between
7 pm and 1 am along a line from Hays to Larned to Pratt and
possibly a little farther west.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 237 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

Western Kansas will be on the southern edge of the westerlies
through mid week. Overnight clusters of thunderstorms will
continue to strongly modulate the surface pattern, leading to a
high degree of uncertainty with timing and placement of
additional rounds of storms.

The storm cluster that moved into eastern Kansas and Oklahoma
has pushed cooler air upslope across western Kansas. The stratus
has been hard to erode in many places. Weak upslope flow will
probably result in isolated storms in eastern Colorado this
afternoon; and these could venture into far western Kansas with
very large hail early this evening. The inflow into these storms
will be weak and the storms could weaken with the loss of heating.
The storms in north central KS will likely form into a larger
cluster and move southeast this evening. Bulk shear is favorable
for supercells initially before cold pool generation leads to a
larger clusters of storms with the potential for damaging winds
and smaller hail. Low level shear is lacking for a significant
tornado threat.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 237 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

Another storm cluster will probably develop on the western high
plains (tied to the diurnal cycle) late Monday and then move
across western Kansas overnight. High winds and hail are possible
with these storms. Yet another round of storms is expected Tuesday
night as a shortwave trough moves across the northern plains,
pushing a cold front into western Kansas. Another shortwave trough
will pass across western Kansas Thursday. Surface troughing ahead
of this feature will lead to destabilization and chances for
thunderstorms in the afternoon and into the night. This system
will push a cold front all the way through Kansas, with drier air
arriving for Friday and Saturday and a break in the t-storm
activity. No big temperature swings are expected with daytime
highs given the moist air and convective debris keeping afternoon
temperatures moderate ahead of the front, and sunny skies allowing
for warming despite the cooler and drier air mass by Friday in
the wake of the front. The main effect of the front temperature-
wise will be cooler overnight lows by Saturday due to light winds,
clear skies and drier air, which are favorable for good
radiational cooling.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 100 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

Easterly upslope flow from overnight storms has resulted in MVFR
CIGS today. With daytime heating expect VFR by 20-21z.
Thunderstorms are expected to form on the western high plains
early this evening and then move southeast. High winds and small
hail are expected between 01 and 06z at KHYS and possibly farther
south at KDDC.
