NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 5, 2:18 PM CST, 8 hours 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 318 PM CDT WED JUL 5 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR TONIGHT WILL BE WHEN TO TAPER OFF THE PRECIP IN THE WEST AS THE MODELS SAY WILL HAPPEN. AT THIS HOUR, NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSHOWERS EXTENDED FROM WESTERN OKLAHOMA TO SOUTHEAST COLORADO IN A MOIST, UPSLOPE REGIME WITH WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEBRASKA OOZING SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS ON THE BACKSIDE OF A DIGGING UPPER TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES. DRIER AIR IS ADVECTING IN FROM THE NORTHEAST AS DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN FALLING INTO THE 50S ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THIS WILL LIMIT THE EASTERN EXTENT OF THE PRECIP THIS EVENING. THE BEST MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS THE FAR WEST WHERE DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE LOWER 60S. THE MODELS SHIFT THIS AREA OF LIFT AND BETTER MOISTURE WEST INTO COLORADO BY THIS EVENING SO POPS WILL BE TAPERED OFF QUICKLY DURING THE EVENING. UPPER RIDGE AXIS THEN MOVES OVERHEAD FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE MOST PART. AN ISOLATED STORM OUT IN THE FAR WEST CANT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT SO WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY SOME SMALL POPS OUT THERE. GIVEN THE UPPER FLOW ORIENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEE TROF OVER EASTERN COLORADO, STORMS SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART STAY WEST OF THE BORDER THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. HIGHS WILL REMAIN IN THE 80S TOMORROW BUT WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 90S AS LOW LEVEL TEMPS GRADUALLY WARM WITH DEPARTING SURFACE RIDGE. DAYS 3-7... PER SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY A CLOSED MID/UPPER TROPOSPHERIC CYCLONE WAS LOCATED JUST OFF OF BAJA CA, ASSISTING WITH THE TRANSPORT OF DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN USA. MEANWHILE, AS SHOWN BY ESRL/PSD PLOTS OF 250MB DAILY MEAN VECTOR WIND ANOMALIES, SUBTROPICAL WESTERLIES WITH VALUES 15-25 M/S ABOVE NORMAL WERE PRESENT 25N ALL ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN BASIN. THE LATTER IS PART OF A STRONG SUBTROPICAL JET (STJ) FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE OPERATIONAL GLOBAL MODELS SUCH AS THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE THERE FEATURES REASONABLY INITIALIZED. THE STJ IS PREDICTED BY THE GLOBAL MODELS TO INTERACT WITH THE SYSTEM OFF OF BAJA, AND EJECT THAT LOW (DETAILS UNDERSTOOD) NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND EVENTUALLY THE PLAINS BY THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND AND BEYOND. WHEN THIS SYSTEM COMES OUT INTO WESTERN KS, THERE WILL BE PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THERE IS LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL FALL, AND A HIGH BUST POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR TEMPERATURES THIS COMING WEEKEND. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR. THE ECMWF AND GFS BOTH BRING THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOW ACROSS THE UPPER RIDGE POSITION LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THIS COULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN TO THE AREA, BUT THE ECMWF KEEPS THE MAIN UPPER DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM FARTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS DOES. THE GFS GENERATES 2+ INCHES IN OUR EASTERN CWA BY 12Z SUNDAY, BUT NOT TOO SURE THIS WILL BE A WIDESPREAD 2+ INCH AMOUNTS. NOW THIS SAME FEATURE HAD THE GFS 5+ INCHES OF RAIN JUST 2 MODEL RUNS AGO. HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE GFS QPF AMOUNTS THAT FAR OUT. BUT WILL PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNAL AND INCREASE POPS ABOVE 20 PERCENT TO 30 PERCENT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER BREAK IN PRECIPITATION MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH A WARMING TREND. UPPER 90S SHOULD BE REACHED BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WITH THE CENTURY MARK NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN SPOTS WEDNESDAY. GOING INTO WEEK 2 TREMENDOUS UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN REGARD TO THE CIRCULATION. HOWEVER, MONITORING TOOLS DO SUPPORT ABOVE AVERAGE WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY MEANING A VERY WARM PERIOD FOR AT LEAST DAYS 8-10. DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOCUSING ALONG A LEE-SIDE TROUGH THEN MOVING EAST ACROSS MY CWA WOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
