Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
405 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 342 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

A dry slot is progressing across southwest Kansas this morning
as the warm conveyor belt ahead of an upper low shifts eastward.
Another round of rain is expected early this afternoon in the
wraparound rain shield in far western Kansas and then along I-70
by mid afternoon. However, a good part of southwestern Kansas
including Liberal and Dodge City will probably not see
significant additional rain. Temperatures today will reach into
the upper 40s and 50s. A slightly cooler air mass will arrive
behind this upper level trough tonight, with lows from the mid
20s to near 30 by Wednesday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 342 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

The next upper level trough will be close on the heels of the
present system, with snow developing across far western Kansas
Wednesday morning and overspreading the remainder of central and
southwestern Kansas during the day. After perusing the various
models and their respective ensembles, the best chance of 3 to 6
inches of snow is across far western Kansas, along and northwest
of a line from Hugoton to Jetmore to Hays. Farther southeast,
snows on the order of 1 to 3 inches can be expected, with the
smaller amounts over south central Kansas locations such as
Medicine Lodge and Pratt. Winds with this weakening system will
not be all that strong, with gusts as high as 40 mph leading to
some blowing and drifting of snow. The winter storm watch area has
not be changed.

A moderating trend will commence later this week, but not before
temperatures drop into the single digits and teens Thursday and
Friday mornings. The coldest morning will be Friday when skies
clear and winds become light, allowing temperatures to bottom out
as low as zero to 5 degrees over snow covered areas of far
western Kansas, with single digits and teens farther southeast.
Temperatures over snow covered areas will be slower to recover
this weekend depending on how much snow falls Wednesday and how
fast the snow melts. But it may take until Sunday in Scott City
for high temperatures to get above the 30s, while 40s and 50s are
likely over south central Kansas. Fair and mild weather can be
expected from Sunday into early next week before the next cold
front arrives on Tuesday. This could be the start of a prolonged
cold spell that goes through next weekend. Arctic air is
advertised to move southward into the northern and central plains
mid to late next week. However, it will be mild to the south of
this arctic front and it is way too early to know exactly where
this front will stall out. But the farther north you go there is
a better chance of some very cold air, while downright balmy air
could reside over parts of the southern plains.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1205 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

Rain showers will persist through 12z and then gradually end. CIGS
will start out VFR and then gradually lower to MVFR as the lower
levels continue to moisten. In the wake of a cold front, expect
winds to shift to the west and northwest and become gusty between
18-21z.
