Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 12:21 PM CST, 7 hours 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 121 PM CDT WED JUN 28 2006 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... ONCE AGAIN THE MAIN CONCERN IS IF THERE WILL BE ANY PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AND REACH THE GROUND THIS EVENING IN MY WEST. THIS SAME SCENARIO AFFECTS THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT ALSO. THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS FROM 19Z SHOWED A SURFACE TROUGH FROM NCENTRAL MONTANA TO SOUTHEAST COLORADO. THIS TROUGH COULD BE THE FOCUS FOR LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS AND INTO THE EVENING IF THE TROUGH MIGRATES INTO WESTERN KANSAS. LAST NIGHT...THERE WERE A STORMS MOVING TOWARD OUR WESTERN BORDER...BUT THEY DISSIPATED AS THEY MOVED INTO OUR CWA. SO...WITH LOWER DEW POINTS IN THE FAR WEST (45-49F)...NOT TOO SURE ANY WILL REACH THE GROUND THIS EVENING... EVEN IF THEY DO INITIATE. THE ONLY MODEL THAT BRINGS ANY APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF RAIN INTO OUR CWA IS THE NGM...THE RUC DOES NOT DEVELOP ANY RAIN THROUGH 03Z THIS EVENING. AS FOR THURSDAY...THE STRONG SURFACE HEATING THAT WILL BE IN PLACE COULD DESTABILIZE THE SURFACE ENOUGH DURING THE LATE DAY TO CAUSE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE TROUGH AXIS WHICH SHOULD BE IN WESTERN KANSAS. PUT 16 POPS IN THE FAR WEST AFTER 21Z...THEN SPREAD THE POPS EASTWARD AFTER 00Z TO ALL OF THE CWA...INCREASING TO 22 POPS IN MY SW AND TO 16 POP IN MY EAST. THE DIFFERENCE IN POPS IS MINIMAL...BUT THINK THE WEST ZONES HAVE JUST A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF MEASURING. ON FRIDAY...DO NOT EXPECT ANY PRECIPITATION AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO THE 95-98F DEG RANGE ON THURSDAY...WITH BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOWING 850MB TEMPS IN THE 27-29C RANGE BY 30/00Z. FRIDAY SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY WARMER WITH MODEL 85H PROGGED TEMPS IN THE 28-30C RANGE. SUSPECT A FEW STATIONS WILL EVEN REACH 100F...BUT WILL ONLY MENTION THE CENTURY MARK AT HAYS FOR NOW. MIN TEMPS WILL BE JUST A LITTLE WARMER EACH NIGHT...IN THE 60-64F RANGE TONIGHT AND THEN 63-67F THURSDAY NIGHT. DAYS 3-7... MODELS CONTINUE THE TREND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH OUR UPPER RIDGE FLATTENING THROUGH MONDAY...THEN SHIFTING/REDEVELOPING FURTHER WEST. UPPER RIDGE AXIS NOW APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE FURTHER EAST THAN PREVIOUS RUNS BUT STILL KEEPS WESTERN KS IN NW FLOW AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOMEWHERE IN THE CNTL PLAINS THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. UPPER RIDGE THEN BUILDS EASTWARD MID TO LATE WEEK WHICH WOULD FAVOR REDUCED CHANCES OF PCPN. UPPER RIDGE ALOFT ALONG WITH THE 00Z NCEP AND CPC REFORECAST ENSEMBLES 85H TEMP ANOMALIES ALSO SUGGEST TEMPS NEAR NORMAL IN THE LATE PERIODS AS WELL. CURRENT GRIDS HAVE THIS TREND HANDLED FAIRLY WELL SO WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH TEMP OR PCPN WISE IN THE GRIDS FOR THE LATER PERIODS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
