NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 25, 1:53 PM CST, 10 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 253 PM CDT SUN MAR 25 2007 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... THERE WERE NO MAJOR FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE FIRST 60 HRS OF THE FCST. THE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN MEXICO IS BEGINNING TO EJECT NORTHEAST AS WESTERLIES AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM PICK UP ALONG THE WEST COAST. HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDS ARE MAKING IT FARTHER WEST INTO MY CWA THAN WHAT I THOUGHT YESTERDAY AND THIS HAS HELPED KEEP HIGHS DOWN A BIT. THIS LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS TEXAS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. AT THE SURFACE, MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TONIGHT AS THE HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR DOWN SOUTH GETS ADVECTED NORTH OVER WESTERN KANSAS. THIS SHOULD KEEP LOW TEMPS RATHER MILD AND DID NOT CHANGE THE CURRENT FCST MUCH. WARM/MOIST ADVECTION IN THE LOW/MID LEVELS OF THE TROPOSPHERE WILL SPREAD WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS OUT AND GAINS NEGATIVE TILT EMBEDDED WITHIN INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW. THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF MY CWA WILL BE ON THE WESTERN FRINGE OF THIS ACTIVITY AND SINCE THE GFS/UKMET CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME QPF IN THAT AREA WILL INCREASE POPS SOME FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND ADD SOME SLGT POPS MONDAY NIGHT. INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THE 12Z UKMET WHICH EJECTS THE SYSTEM FARTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS/NAM. IF THIS VERIFIES MORE OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS WOULD GET MEASURABLE RAINFALL AND POPS WOULD HAVE TO BE RAISED. FOR NOW WILL STAY THE COURSE AND NOT MAKE ANY DRASTIC CHANGES. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY AND WILL TAKE THE CLOUDS/PRECIP WITH IT. THE WEATHER WILL BE TRANQUIL IN ITS WAKE AND AHEAD OF THE NEXT STRONGER SYSTEM. HIGHS SHOULD REMAIN MILD IN THE 70S FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. THE ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE MORE CHALLENGING PORTION OF THE FORECAST TOWARD MIDWEEK. LACY DAYS 3-7... THE FORECAST DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD REMAINS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER SYSTEM FORECAST TO MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS AROUND MID WEEK. THE 12Z GFS IS HOLDING ON TO THE IDEA OF THE UPPER SYSTEM SPLITTING IN TWO WITH THE FIRST PART OF IT LIFTING NORTH OUT OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WHILE A SECONDARY SHOT OF ENERGY DIVES INTO THE BASE OF THE LINGERING TROUGH. THE 12Z RUN IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SLOWER AND CLOSES OFF THE UPPER LOW SOONER. GFS ENSEMBLES FROM THE 00Z RUN SEEMED TO SUPPORT THE 00Z OPERATIONAL RUN FAIRLY WELL. THE 00Z ECMWF IS ALSO TRENDING TOWARD CLOSING THE UPPER LOW OFF SOONER. THE LATEST RUN SHOWS THE LOW CUTTING OFF OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY THURSDAY. THE 00Z UKMET WAS SHOWING CONSISTENCY WITH ITS PREVIOUS RUNS BUT THE 12Z RUN IS NOW SHOWING SOME SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION FROM ITS PREVIOUS RUNS. APPEARS THAT THE OVERALL TREND MAY BE TO SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN A LITTLE BUT DETAILS ON THAT ARE CERTAINLY NOT VERY CLEAR AT THIS TIME. WITH THAT IN MIND, HAVE NOT MADE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST AT THIS TIME. THE ONLY CHANGE OF NOTE WAS TO THROW IN SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO THE EASTERN PART OF THE CWA AROUND WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR A POSSIBLE SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM.
