582 FXUS63 KDDC 222313 AFDDDC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 513 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Patchy morning fog Sunday - A band of showers moving across Sunday afternoon - Dry and mild next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 222 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Winds will become light and variable tonight. Dewpoints are expected to be running in the 30s by morning. Have inserted patchy fog in the wx grids for the morning hours as a result of the light/variable winds and low T/Td depressions. Lows should mainly be above freezing today and should be in the mid to upper 30s. A large upper level low is still expected to move out across the central Rockies Sunday. A band of showers is expected to develop in association with this UL feature across the state of Kansas during the day. This will be a high POP but low QPF event, as boundary layer moisture could be better than what it is currently forecast to achieve. Highs tomorrow will be in the mix of the 50s to 60s. The upper level low clears the greater region Monday. The net result is a dry forecast. Looking beyond Monday, we are forecast to be in dry upper level northwest flow aloft. Weak lee troughing is expected at the surface. The net result in mild and near normal temperatures with a dry forecast continuing for the rest of the period. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
