AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 308 PM CDT MON AUG 7 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE POPS TONIGHT WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. TOWERING CUMULUS HAVE DEVELOPED FAIRLY RAPIDLY THIS AFTERNOON FROM NEAR DODGE CITY WEST TO THE COLORADO BORDER IN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT. SURFACE FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTH A LITTLE AND STRETCHES FROM NEAR TRIBUNE TO JETMORE TO JUST NORTH OF GREAT BEND AS OF THIS WRITING. THE WRF BREAKS OUT THE MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY AROUND 00Z WHEN THE LLJ STARTS TO KICK IN. A BIG RAIN EVENT LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR FAR NORTHERN KS/SOUTHERN NEBRASKA TONIGHT NORTH OF THE FRONT WITH THE LOW LEVEL WAA COMBINING WITH A WEAK WAVE OVER NORTHEAST CO MOVES EAST ACROSS THAT AREA OVERNIGHT. AS FOR POPS IN MY CWA WILL HAVE A GRADIENT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH 50S IN THE NORTH AND 20S IN THE SOUTHEAST...KEEPING THE IDEA OF THE PREVIOUS FCST IN TACT. CHANCE OF SEVERE WILL BE HIGHEST IN THE NORTH WHERE THE BETTER MOISTURE IS. STORMS WILL STILL BE PULSE IN NATURE WITH LITTLE FLOW ALOFT TO KEEP THEM ORGANIZED. THE WRF/GFS KEEP A RESIDUAL BOUNDARY OVER MY NORTHERN ZONES...POSSIBLY OUTFLOW FROM PREVIOUS NIGHTS CONVECTION. WE WILL BE DRIER IN THE MID LEVELS AND THE CAP WILL BE STRONGER TOMORROW SO WILL KEEP POPS ALONG THE BOUNDARY BUT WILL ONLY GO WITH A SLGT CHC. WILL KEEP THE DRY FORECAST WE HAD GOING FOR WEDNESDAY WITH UPPER RIDGING SETTING IN OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS. FOR TEMPS HIGHS AROUND OR ABOVE 100 DEGREES LOOK REASONABLE WITH THE HOTTER DAY BEING WEDNESDAY BASED ON PROGGED 850MB TEMPS. THE WRF SUGGESTS IT COULD BE AS HIGH AS 105 BUT HAVE SETTLED WITH THE MORE CONSERVATIVE GFS/UKMET. DAYS 3-7... FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THIS EXTENDED PERIOD ARE TIMING OF NORTHERN BRANCH SHORTWAVE TROUGHS AND ATTENDANT COOL FRONTS WITH THUNDER. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A SHORTWAVE AND COOL FRONT ON THURSDAY SO HAVE UPPED POPS SLIGHTLY AND BROUGHT THEM SOUTH. THEN GOOD CONTINUITY IN EC AND GFS WITH ANOTHER MORE POTENT WAVE SUNDAY SO WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED 30 POP ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. ALSO COULD BE A LITTLE COOLER IN DAYTIME HIGHS FROM WHAT WAS GOING SO TRENDED DOWNWARD A FEW NOTCHES IN TEMPS WITH COOLER 850MB TEMPS FORECAST AND SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
