Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 609 PM CDT THU JUN 23 2016 ...Updated aviation section... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2016 A nearly stationary front was situated across northern Oklahoma this afternoon, with moist upslope low level flow across western Kansas. Thunderstorms were developing along the Interstate 25 corridor in Colorado as of 3 pm. The front will progress northward as a warm front late tonight in response to a shortwave trough over the Pacific Northwest moving into the northern Rockies, along with surface pressure falls on the western high plains. This upper level trough will then move into the Great Lakes region by Monday morning, helping to push another cold front southward into Kansas by Saturday afternoon. With upper level troughing over the Great Lakes throughout next week, the front will tend to stay quasi-stationary. Weak upper level ridging is advertised to develop over the southern and central Rockies next week, with weak northwesterly mid to high level flow across western Kansas. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2016 The early afternoon thunderstorms along the Urban Corridor in Colorado will be progressing eastward into a very unstable airmass over western Kansas. If these storms develop a cold pool, then Corfidi vectors are favorable for west-northwest to east- southeast propagation into western Kansas later this evening and overnight. There is a chance that the convection will stay discrete and then die off and never move into western Kansas. With more sun and south winds on Friday, temperatures ought to warm into the middle 90s. Thunderstorms that fire along the edge of the mountains in Colorado Friday afternoon could make it into far western Kansas Friday night or weaken before progressing that far. Small thunderstorm chances were maintained for this low probability event. The lack of moist, low level upslope flow by this time is a negative. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2016 Isolated thunderstorms are possible Saturday and Sunday along the aforementioned stalled front. As the mid to high level flow becomes northwesterly by early next week, more organized nocturnal thunderstorm clusters are possible across the central plains. It is far too early to pinpoint the location and timing of these individual clusters. Any convective debris would suppress maximum temperatures into the 80s; but temperatures could easily reach into the lower 90s on days that feature strong insolation. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 607 PM CDT Thu Jun 23 2016 VFR conditions will prevail this evening with the possibility of a squall line moving through the area overnight. If this squall line comes to fruition, periods of MVFR conditions will be observed. Winds will generally be from the east southeast at less than 10 knots. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
