Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 1:00 PM CST, 6 hours 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 200 PM CDT TUE JUL 25 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... THE HEAT CONTINUES AND THERE IS AT LEAST SOME QUESTION OVER POSSIBLE CONVECTION. THERE WILL BE ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGE IN THE LARGE SCALE CIRCULATION PATTERN OVER NORTH AMERICA THROUGH THIS FORECAST AS THE LARGE UPPER HIGH REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN CONUS WITH A BROAD WEAK UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS. A SERIES OF WAVES ARE FORECAST TO TOP THE UPPER RIDGE AND THEN DIG EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES STATES. BY LATE TOMORROW THE UPPER RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE A LITTLE ALLOWING A WAVE TO SLIDE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS INCREASING SLIGHTLY THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION. THE SOUTHWEST MONSOON WILL PROVIDE ELEVATED CONVECTION OVER THE ROCKIES THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING AND SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL MAKE IT OUT INTO PARTS OF THE HIGH PLAINS DURING THE NIGHT. DURING THE DAY, THICKNESSES INDICATE CONTINUED HOT TEMPERATURES FOR THE HIGH PLAINS REGION. ALL IN ALL, THE GOING GRIDS HAVE ALL OF THIS PRETTY MUCH IN HAND AND REQUIRED LITTLE OR NO CHANGE. DAYS 3-7... THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TOOK SOME OF THE POPS OUT IN THE EXTENDED AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE SINCE THE WEAK NW FLOW REGIME WILL BE BREAKING DOWN. THE UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME LIGHT WITH THE WESTERLIES RETREATING NORTH OF 45N THE ONLY THING THAT COULD MESS UP A DRY FORECAST IS ANY WEAK CONVECTIVE FLARE UP IN THE SW US MONSOON FLOW. THE 00Z ECMWF HINTED AT THIS POSSIBILITY. BUT CHANCES ARE TOO SMALL TO CARRY POPS THAT FAR OUT. OTHERWISE IT LOOKS PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY AND HOT THROUGH DAY 7. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
