AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 327 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2007 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... FORECAST CHALLENGES CONTINUE TO BE FLOODING POTENTIAL ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST CWA, THEN RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND CHANCES ELSEWHERE. UPPER LOW AND TROUGH WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY INTO WESTERN KANSAS TODAY THEN ALMOST STALL OUT INTO THURSDAY. WITH COPIOUS AMOUNT OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AVAILABLE, UPWARD LIFT, UPPER DIFFLUENCE, AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE WEAK COLD FRONT, WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH FROM COLDWATER TO NESS CITY AND EAST INTO THURSDAY EVENING OR 00Z FRIDAY. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES. MODELS DISAGREE ON EXACTLY WHERE THE BEST UPPER DYNAMICS WILL PLAY OUT AND THEREFORE DIFFER ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE HIGH QPF, SO WILL BE MORE GENERAL IN AREA OF BEST QPF JUST AHEAD OF UPPER LOW AND ALONG UPPER DIFFLUENT REGION. ALSO USED HPC FORECAST IN PART WHICH ALSO SHOWS HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IN THE NORTHEAST CWA. LATER SHIFT MAY NEED TO ADJUST AS NEEDED DEPENDING ON JUST WHERE EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER. OTHERWISE LESSER QPF EXPECTED IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE ONLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S INTO THURSDAY WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS AND RAINFALL. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S LOOK REASONABLE.
