NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 6:01 AM CST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 701 AM CDT Mon Jun 2 2014 ...Updated for aviation discussion... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 308 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 After a rough night with severe storms and flooding, only a thin line of non-severe storms remain early this morning over southeast zones of our forecast area. Severe weather included a few reports of tennis ball sized hail, wind gusts to 74 mph, and up to 5.5 inches of rain in southeast parts of our CWA. So with the lower level of the atmosphere being worked over pretty good from severe storms, today should be cooler with maximum temperatures in the middle 80s north to I-70, and maybe the upper 80s down south along the Oklahoma border. I plan to leave small chances for thunderstorms across our far southeast zones through 12z, but think they will gradually diminish and dissipate by 12z. There is a batch of low level stratus moving into our northern zones, and that is partially why highs today should be lower in our north today. Winds do not look too strong, mainly influenced by surface high pressure building in. I expect easterly winds in the 10 to 13 knot range. Tonight should become mostly clear, with southeast winds at less than 10 mph. A strong low level jet will set up towards Tuesday morning, increasing winds late tonight. I did not change minimum temperatures any from the previous shift, ranging from 63F in the Hays area to around 68F degrees in the Medicine Lodge area. Tuesday is more complicated period. Both the ECMWF and GFS models bring 700mb temperatures of +19C into our far western zones, and +15C to +16C isotherms into our eastern and northeastern zones. This means hot temperatures of afternoon maxes near the century mark, with a few records likely to be set. Winds will increase into the advisory levels, with a wind advisory likely to be issued tomorrow. Upon examining the need for a Fire Weather Watch, for now I will hold off. The hot surface temperatures and RFW winds will be there, but the RH will only fall to less than 15% in our two most western tiers of counties, and that is only for 2 hours. The latest guidance on favorable conditions for large fire growth hint at too much greening up has taken place. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) ISSUED AT 344 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 A shortwave trough will traverse the central plains Tuesday evening. Southwest Kansas will be in the warm sector, with a dryline in far western Kansas near the Colorado border. A few high based thunderstorms may develop in the late afternoon along and ahead of the dryline. These storms could be severe with large hail and damaging winds. But given the expected high cloud bases, significant tornadoes are not expected. Temperatures will meet or exceed 100F along and just behind the dryline in the afternoon. Even ahead of the dryline at Dodge City, temperatures may exceed the record high of 97F. The surface cold front associated with the aforementioned shortwave trough will pass through western Kansas Tuesday night and stall across central Oklahoma by Wednesday afternoon. This will be a stable airmass so that thunderstorms are not expected. High temperatures will fall into the 80s on Wednesday. The next chance of thunderstorms will be Wednesday night as warm advection develops across western Kansas on the cool side of the low level baroclinic zone. High temperatures will only be in the lower to middle 80s on Thursday. Thunderstorm chances persist through early Saturday as low amplitude upper level troughing remains over the western United States, with minor shortwave troughs ejecting east/northeastward across the plains. High temperatures will be held down in the lower to mid 80s Friday and Saturday by cloud cover and outflow from any thunderstorms, and the positioning of a frontal boundary south of Kansas. Low temperatures will exhibit low variability during the entire time frame that this long term discussion covers, with mainly 60s due to the fairly high expected dewpoints and the lack of strong southerlies that sometimes lead to warmer lows in the 70s this time of year. There may be a break in the thunderstorm activity later in the weekend before the next upper level trough progresses into the Rockies, resulting in additional thunderstorm chances by early next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) ISSUED AT 658 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 Moist Low level ulope flow behind a cold front has led to patchy fog early this morning. The fog and IFR/LIFR CIGS should lift with daytime heating. Winds will start out from the northeast and then gradually shift to the southeast this afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
