AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 351 PM CDT Mon Jun 9 2014 ...Updated synopsis and short term discussion... .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 349 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 The 12z upper air analysis showed a closed 500 millibar low pressure center over northwest Kansas. This low has been progressing steadily southeast through the morning and early afternoon hours with the help of an 80 knot jet in the southwest quadrant of the low from southeast Colorado into the OK/TX panhandle region. At the surface, low pressure has been deepening over south central Kansas through the morning hours. A mosaic of radar plots has shown widespread light rain over much of central and western Kansas today, occurring in an area of mid level deformation around the upper low. Through the early afternoon hours, the heavier rainfall has been limited to central and eastern Kansas with a few bands trying to move back into the Hays/Lacrosse areas. Accordingly, rainfall rates across central Kansas have been fairly modest and with total rainfall amounts around two inches or so at best, the threat for flooding has been fairly low today. Strong winds exceeding advisory criteria have been in place across far southwest Kansas today which has lined up nicely with an 850 millibar speed max indicated by the RUC. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 349 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 As the upper low continues southeast out of Kansas into this evening, we should see the areas of light rain over far western Kansas continue to diminish. Areas generally east of Highway 283 will see areas of rain, possibly along with an isolated thunderstorm, continuing into the evening hours. Precipitation chances should come to an end along the Highway 281 corridor around or shortly after midnight. The latest RUC and NAM model output shows the strong 850 millibar jet propagating out of far southwest Kansas by 6 or 7 pm and lining up more along a Hays/Larned to Dodge City line. The current wind advisory goes until 7 pm. Will let it go until expiration time as winds should be diminishing around or shortly after then. Tuesday should be mostly sunny and fairly mild as an upper level ridge moves over the central Plains. High temperatures should top out in the mid 80s over far southwest Kansas with highs nearing 80 in central Kansas. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) ISSUED AT 256 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 Subsidence will dominate the region Tuesday night and into early Wednesday. Mainly sunny and much warmer conditions are expected heading into Wednesday late morning and afternoon with the development of southerly winds and much drier boundary layer air working downslope with time into far western Kansas. An upper jet immediately south of the region will drag an attendant disturbance/shortwave into the Central Plains Wednesday night. The ECMWF/GFS and NAM all model impressive 850-700 mb moisture transport ahead of this wave giving high probability of another MCS in some form. Based on the different model solutions, it seems reasonable discreet cells could form out of Colorado in the early or mid evening with cold pool development occurring farther east. probabilities for precipitation were increased to at least 50% in the far west to "Likely" (60-70%) farther east. By Thursday morning, cloudy conditions may linger for much if not all of the morning behind a surface cold front/cold moist surface outflow air, which various models have forecast not to exceed the upper 70s. Deeper into the period, for Friday and through the weekend will bring at least one additional chance for organized thunderstorms. By Friday an upper ridge will begin to build back into the central Plains returning prevailing southerlies to southwest Kansas. The GFS overturns instability on Saturday which is not well supported by the ECMWF. More model consensus falls of convective development returning Saturday night as the main upper wave lifts into the Northern Plains with it's attendant upper jet streak diving into the the Central Plains inducing surface pressure falls and left front exit region forcing for large scale lift. These model solutions focus deep moist convection mainly over the Interstate 70 corridor of our forecast area for the likely areas for storms. The far southwest remains far behind the dryline. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) ISSUED AT 1221 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 A strong upper level low pressure system will track out of southwest Kansas into central Oklahoma through this afternoon and evening. MVFR to IFR ceilings along with MVFR visibilities in light rain and mist will continue through the first half of this TAF period. Along with the rain, strong northerly winds will continue at the TAF sites this afternoon into early evening. Conditions will improve after sunset as the rain moves out and ceilings improve. Winds will also diminish after dark. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
