The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 11, 11:02 PM CST, 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 1202 AM CDT Thu Jun 12 2014 ...UPDATE TO AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 1100 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014 Water vapor imagery and 00Z upper air analysis indicate an upper level shortwave trough pushing eastward across the Western High Plains. Meanwhile, a weak upper level ridge of high pressure is transitioning eastward across the Intermountain West. Near the surface, a cold front is shifting southeastward out of western into central Kansas. Ample low level moisture lingers across western Kansas behind a departing cold front with observed surface dewpoints mainly in the 50s(F). && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014 A surface cold front extended from eastern South Dakota to near Sidney, Nebraska slowly moving south through the Northern High Plains. An are of relative low pressure was developing over southeast Colorado with an attendant inverted surface trough extending northward toward the cold front. Regional WSR88D composite reflectivity was already showing clusters of surface based thunderstorms developing off the Palmer Divide as well as the Sangre de Cristo regions in Colorado. Ahead of the frontal boundary, southerly winds were in place with surface dew points in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees across the eastern Counties. Drier air existed west of Highway 83 where dew points were in the mid 40s but increasing. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014 All of the morning NMM/ARW and NAM models in addition to several runs of the HRRR indicate high confidence in convection developing early this evening and spreading rapidly eastward into central Kansas as a QLCS. Models indicate a marked in increase in layer precipitable water through the late afternoon and evening, with SREF QPF values in excess of an inch. MUCAPES around 2000 J/KG in early afternoon were also forecast to increase to in excess of 3000 J/kg. This pre-storm environment thermodynamic in combination with ample 30 knots of deep bulk shear will be conducive to gaining a high confidence in a few rotating updrafts initially in our northwest counties or basically anywhere from around Kearny county through Scott City and Dighton. These hail producers will quickly develop a cold pool generating widespread slab-like convection eastward into central Kansas though mid evening with damaging wind the highest threat followed by potential for hail and flooding from very heavy rainfall. This morning's flash flood guidance for 3 hours was as low as 2 inches across portions of the area still outlined by a flood watch, which will make flooding to occur easily in some of the areas that have had in excess of 400% of normal rainfall in the last week or more. Beyond this evening's high probability convection episode, north surface winds will develop behind the convection as the front is forced southward. Models have indicated potential for showers and probably elevated storms continuing into in the far south east areas into the early daylight hours on Thursday. Much cooler conditions ion cool advection are expected Thursday afternoon with highs struggling through the 70s in most locations. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) ISSUED AT 1200 AM CDT THU JUN 12 2014 Showers and thunderstorms will linger across central and eastern portions of southwest Kansas overnight resulting in possible MVFR cigs through daybreak. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to prevail in the vicinity of all TAF sites through late Thursday afternoon. Winds will become northerly around 20 to 30kt behind a cold front pushing southeastward across south central Kansas early this morning. Winds will become northeasterly while subsiding to around 10 to 20kt Thursday afternoon as surface high pressure drifts southeast across the Northern Plains. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
