AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
750 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2005

.UPDATE...
LOOKS LIKE THE TORNADO POTENTIAL HAS DIMINISHED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS DUE TO THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING WHICH PROVIDES GOOD
UPDRAFT STRENGTH. THUNDERSTORM OUTLFLOW BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH
THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING. LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE REMAINDER
OF THE EVENING DUE TO LACK OF SHEAR. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY IS ALSO
SHOWING A NORTH TO SOUTH DEWPOINT BOUNDARY CONTINUING TO MOVE WEST.
THIS BOUNDARY HAS ALSO BEEN GENERATING SOME ISOLATED ELEVATED
STORMS, BUT THESE STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, WE WILL BE CANCELLING THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
FOR CENTRAL KANSAS BEFORE 8 PM.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 337 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2005/

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE THE TIMING OF WHEN
THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE EXITING THE AREA TONIGHT AND WHEN THE
FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

TONIGHT:
LATEST VISIBLE IMAGERY INDICATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE
DRY LINE IN CENTRAL KANSAS. WATER VAPOR LOOP ALSO INDICATED MID
LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION MOVING INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS. THIS MID
LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION ALONG WITH GOOD CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRY
LINE HAS CAUSED THESE STORMS TO INITIATE EARLIER. HOWEVER, THE
LATEST KICT RADAR IMAGERY HAS INDICATED THERE ARE NUMEROUS
BOUNDARIES AROUND. AS THE MID LEVEL COLD AIR PUSHES INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON, THIS MAY HELP
INITIATE STORMS ALONG ANY EXISTING BOUNDARIES. THESE STORMS WILL
BE DRIVEN BY LOTS OF CAPE ON THE ORDER OF 3000J/KG, WHICH WILL
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL. IN ADDITION, IF THERE ARE ANY INTERSECTING
BOUNDARIES AROUND THIS COULD SPIN UP A LANDSPOUT. WOULD EXPECT THE
MAJORITY OF THESE STORMS TO BE NON-SUPERCELLULAR DUE TO THE WEAK
DEEP LAYER SHEAR. AS THE EVENING WEARS ON, I WOULD EXPECT THE STORMS
TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN SINCE THE CAPES ARE SO LARGE, BUT MORE STORMS
WILL MOST LIKELY FIRE UP EAST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE THIS EVENING AS
THE MID LEVEL COLD AIR MOVES IN, WHICH WILL CREAT GOOD UPGLIDE.
MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS WILL VERY SLOW, ESPECIALLY GENERALLY BE
EAST-NORTHEAST AT 20 MPH.

MONDAY:
IT APPEARS LIKE WE WILL SEE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXITING THE
PICTURE BY EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG WITH PRECIPITATION. THIS WILL BE
DUE TO THE UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVING EAST INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRIER AIR TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. MODELS ARE
SHOWING A WEAK DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT WHICH WILL PROVIDE A RATHER WARM
AND MILD DAY WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING TO NEAR 80 ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA.

MONDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY:
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE CONTINUE BUILD OVER THE AREA WHICH WILL
KEEP US WARM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WILL KEEP MOST OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE AREA ALONG THE WARM FRONT. WE DID MENTION
A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDER MAINLY NEAR INTERSTATE 70 WEDNESDAY AS A
WEAK IMPULSE MOVES THROUGH THAT REGION. OTHERWISE, IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL BE UNSEASONABLY WARM AND WINDY WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY
CREEPING UP TO 90.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY NIGHT:
ALL THE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY CLOSE AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THE UPPER
LEVEL TROF INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TO POSSIBLY SLIDE INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
THURSDAY NIGHT. WE HAVE MENTIONED THE HIGHEST POPS DURING THAT
TIMEFRAME.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY:
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION AND ALLOW FOR
COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. AS A RESULT, A FAIRLY
NICE WEEKEND SHOULD BE IN STORE WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF AN
ELLSWORTH TO GREAT BEND LINE THROUGH 9 PM. THESE STORMS WILL
GENERALLY MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST AROUND 20 MPH. THE PRIMARY SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER, A
SMALL TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT ALONG A BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM
SALINA TO LYONS. THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
MOVE EAST DURING THE EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING FOR PORTIONS
OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS. NO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN ENTER THE FORECAST THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AFFECTS THE PLAINS. AT THIS TIME, IT IS
TOO FAR OUT TO SPECULATE ON THE SEVERITY OF THE STORMS, SO PLEASE
CHECK BACK FOR ADDITIONAL FORECASTS.
