NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 21, 2:25 AM CST, 1 hour 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 325 AM CDT MON AUG 21 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. THE UPPER AIR ANALYSIS THIS EVENING SHOWED A WEAK 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER EASTERN COLORADO AT 00Z. EVIDENCE OF THIS WAS KIND OF HARD TO FIND IN THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY BUT A LOOP OF THE RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS BREAKING OUT ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KANSAS IN THE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE, AS WELL AS A FEW OF THE STORMS OVER THE PANHANDLES FINALLY WORKING THEIR WAY INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THE GFS, IN SPITE OF ITS CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK, SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE WAVE MOVING OUT OF COLORADO EARLY THIS MORNING AND INTO EASTERN KANSAS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE UKMET SUPPORTS THIS IDEA AS WELL. DURING THE DAY, THE DEFORMATION AXIS SLIDES TO THE SOUTHEAST AND WINDS UP IN THE KP28 AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE ADJUSTED PRECIP CHANCES TODAY SUCH THAT THE HIGHEST POPS TRACK FROM THE NORTHERN PORTIONS INTO THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA AS THE DAY GOES ON. COULD BE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WITH THE STORMS TODAY BUT CURRENT RADAR TRENDS INDICATE THAT THE PRECIP COVERAGE IS NOT REAL WIDESPREAD AND IT IS IN MOTION. FOR TONIGHT, THINK THAT THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST OF THE CWA. DECIDED TO HOLD ON TO SOME CHC/SLGT CHC POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA WHERE SOME STRAY SHOWERS AND STORMS FIRING ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH COULD STRAY INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. WILL KEEP THE SLGT CHC POPS INTACT ON TUESDAY. THE NAM IS SUGGESTING THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME WEAK DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN THE TROPICAL FLOW MOVING ACROSS THE CWA. THE GFS IS NOT AS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THIS BUT GIVEN THE CONTINUED TROPICAL MOIST FEED AND NEARBY BOUNDARY, CANT TOTALLY RULE IT OUT. DAYS 3-7... THIS MORNING MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARDS ONE S/W TROF WEAKENING AS IS IT MOVES INTO THE PLAINS WED NIGHT. THEN NEXT...MORE SIG SYSTEM LATE FRIDAY WHICH WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COLD FRONT AND COOLER TEMPS. ALTHOUGH UNABLE TO ARGUE OTHER SUBTLE WAVE ARE EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW AT THIS TIME HOWEVER THE BETTER CHANCE FOR VVEL FOR PCPN SEEMS TO FOCUSED AROUND THESE TWO MORE IMPRESSIVE WAVES. BASED ON RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY ON TIMING WILL CONCENTRATE POPS OVER THESE TWO TIME FRAMES AND REMOVE SLT CHC POPS THURSDAY NIGHT. AS FOR TEMPS CURRENT COOLING TREND OVER THE WEEKEND STILL LOOKS GOOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
