AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
302 PM CDT WED JUN 8 2005

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST DISCUSSION...
CONVECTIVE CHANCES/TRENDS AS WELL AS RAINFALL/POTENTIAL FLOODING..

EXTREME INSTABILITY EXISTS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FLINT HILLS AND
SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SURFACE FRONT, FROM NEAR HUTCHINSON TO TOPEKA, WILL
CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL/EAST CENTRAL KANSAS THIS
EVENING, AND PROVIDE FOCUS FOR RAPID/SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT. SHEAR
MORE THAN ADEQUATE WITH HIGH CAPE FOR LARGE HAIL WITH SLIGHT POTENTIAL
FOR SHORT-LIVED TORNADOES ALONG PREFERENTIAL BOUNDARIES. THE MAIN
THREAT MAY WELL EVOLVE INTO HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING, AS MUCH OF THIS
AREA STILL RECOVERING FROM EXCESSIVE RAINS DURING THE PAST WEEK OR SO.
ALTHOUGH THE ETA SEEMS TO HAVE RIGHT IDEA ON INITIAL CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT, AM NOT CONVINCED THAT LARGE SCALE ORGANIZED CONVECTION
WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT AS IT DEPICTS. THE GFS AND ETA
BOTH SUGGEST ELEVATED FORCING AND INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP/SHIFT NORTH
INTO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT, SO EXPECT THAT CONVECTION
MAY RE-DEVELOP/EVOLVE NORTH INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE
NIGHT. ALL SAID, WILL ISSUE FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT FOR AREAS MAINLY NORTH
AND EAST OF A PARSONS TO NEWTON TO SALINA LINE.

WILL MAINTAIN MODEST CHANCES FOR STORMS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT, THOUGH
THIS COULD BE THE RELATIVE LULL BEFORE A MORE ORGANIZED SYSTEM AFFECTS
THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORT-
WAVE LOOKS TO EJECT NORTHEAST AT THAT TIME, WITH ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW TRANSLATING ALONG BOUNDARY. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE NEEDED FOCUS
AND LIFT FOR LARGER MESOSCALE CONVECTION, AFFECTING CENTRAL AND MOST
PROBABLY SOUTHEAST KANSAS AS WELL.

THIS OCCASIONALLY WET/STORMY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND,
WITH THE LATEST GFS NOW SUGGESTING CHANCES MAY CONTINUE AREA-WIDE INTO
MONDAY. FOR NOW MADE LITTLE CHANGES BEYOND SUNDAY, THOUGH LATER SHIFTS
MAY NEED TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

SUMNER-COWLEY-ELK-WILSON-NEOSHO-CHAUTAUQUA-MONTGOMERY-LABETTE-
342 PM CDT WED JUN 8 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING OVER PORTIONS OF
THE FLINT HILLS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS, MAINLY EAST OF A MARION TO
WICHITA TO WELLINGTON LINE. ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS IN THIS AREA WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING DOWNBURST
WINDS. STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO TRACK ALONG A SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A BRIEF TORNADO. SINCE SOIL
MOISTURE IS HIGH AND GROUNDS NEARLY SATURATED FROM PREVIOUS RAINS,
LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCE A STORM CAN ALSO LOOK FOR SOME LOCALIZED
FLOODING.

STORMS MAY LINGER OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS TONIGHT, WITH ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY DEVELOPING NORTH OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
KANSAS. THOUGH THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH,
THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR THE ENTIRE REGION
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RICH GULF MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER
THE AREA, AS A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT POSITIONS ITSELF ACROSS
KANSAS DURING THIS PERIOD. DAILY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL MAINLY
OCCUR FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT TIME FRAME. SEVERE
WEATHER CHANCES WILL BE POSSIBLE JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. HEAVY
RAINFALL CAUSING FLOODING ISSUES ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
COULD BECOME THE GREATER HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY EVENING INTO
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR ADDITIONAL UPDATES AND
FUTURE OUTLOOKS ON THIS ACTIVE WEATHER SCENARIO.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS ANTICIPATED THIS EVENING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE FLINT HILLS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.
