801 FXUS63 KDDC 190704 AFDDDC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 19 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Hot and dry for several days - Storm chances return next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 222 AM CDT Thu Jun 19 2025 A high plains lee trough will continue today across the plains of Colorado. The net result is a hot and breezy day. This hot and dry weather pattern will continue for the end of the business week and into the weekend. There are some 15% pops today across the far western counties, just in case convective temperature is reached and an isolated storm develops out west. Given how hot and dry and mixed the atmosphere should be later today, I suppose a strong wind gust cannot be ruled out. Either way, the rest of the FA will stay dry and hot for the next several days. Highs over the next few days will be well into the 90s, with some 100F readings possible. Lows will be warm with values only bottoming out mainly in the 70s. The upper level ridge may move east by the beginning of the next business week. This will lead to the possibility of returning storm chances Monday onward. With a frontal boundary lingering somewhere across the region, this could provide the lift for storms. Otherwise, there really isn`t much to talk about with warm to seasonably hot temperatures continuing for the rest of the forecast period. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
