NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 1, 2:20 PM CST, 6 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 320 PM CDT TUE AUG 1 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... SURFACE COLD FRONT EXTENDS ACROSS NORTHWEST KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH A SFC TROF STRETCHING SOUTH FROM THIS FRONT ACROSS EXTREME SW KS. THIS WILL BE THE MAIN AREA OF FOCUS FOR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100. STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND THEN MOVE SLOWLY MOVE NE ONCE DEVELOPED. WILL THEREFORE KEEP PCPN MAINLY CONFINED IN THIS AREA DURING THE EVENING LEAVING OUR EASTERN CWA PCPN FREE. RAIN COOLED AIR FROM CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THIS FRONT WILL FORCE THE FRONT TO SHIFT SOUTH AND EAST SO DID SPREAD PCPN SLOWLY EAST AND SOUTHEAST INTO SW KS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. 5H VORT LOBE THEN PROGGED TO CROSS WRN KS ON WEDNESDAY AS COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF OUR CWA DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL LIKELY BE WHEN WE WILL HAVE OUT BEST CHANCE FOR PCPN SO PLACED HIGH CHC TO LIKELY POPS WED AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. POPS THEN TAPER OFF WED NIGHT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. QUESTION IS WHERE OUR FRONT WILL BE? NAM12 PUSHES THE FRONT INTO OK BY 12Z THURSDAY WHILE THE GFS IS FURTHER NORTH. AM LEANING TOWARDS THE FURTHER SOUTH SOLUTION IF WE DO GET ALL THIS PCPN THAT THE NAM12/GFS IS SUGGESTS. HAVE THEREFORE REMOVED POPS IN THE NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. SEE LITTLE REASON TO ARGUE WITH CURRENT TEMPERATURES AS A BREAK IN THE HEAT EXPECTED MID WEEK. DAYS 3-7... THE MAIN CHALLENGE CENTERS AROUND THE FRONT EARLY IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. BY THURSDAY EVENING THE VARIOUS MODELS...UKMET, GFS, AND NAM ALL HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS AS TO THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT AND PRECIP. THE UKMET IS FARTHEST NORTH AND LIFTS THE FRONT BACK AS A WARM FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT WITH MOST OF THE PRECIP NORTH OF US WHILE THE NAM IS THE FARTHEST SOUTH AND STILL HAS THE FRONT WELL SOUTH OF US FRIDAY MOST LIKELY NOT MOVING NORTH ACROSS WESTERN KS TILL SOMETIME FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL FOLLOW THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD GFS SOLUTION KEEPING POPS IN THE FAR SOUTH THURSDAY EVENING TAPERING OFF TOWARD FRIDAY MORNING. WILL THEN BRING POPS BACK ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT RETURNS SOMEWHERE IN THAT WINDOW OF TIME. AFTER THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF US OUR PRECIP CHANCES ARE DONE AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS BACK TO THE NORTHWEST OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS. THE GFS ENSEMBLES SHOW THAT THIS RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD STRONG ACROSS THE PLAINS IN THE 8 TO 10 DAY PERIOD SO WILL GO WITH ABOVE AND BELOW FOR TEMPS AND PRECIP. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
