AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
335 AM CST THU MAR 30 2006

.DISCUSSION...

...ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY BECOMING MORE LIKELY...GENERALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF I-135...STARTING POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS NOON AND LASTING
INTO THE EVENING HOURS OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WINDS AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE GOING OUT SHORTLY FOR NORTHWEST
COUNTIES OF CWA...DUE TO INCREASING ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND LARGE
SCALE ASCENT.

CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATES A DEEP...NEGATIVELY TILTED MID/UPPER
TROUGH PROGRESSING ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...WITH AN ASSOCIATED
STRONG UPPER JET NOSING EASTWARD INTO NEW MEXICO. DRY LINE HAS
RETREATED INTO WESTERN KANSAS...WITH MOSTLY 50S DEWPOINTS SURGING
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...LOW 60S DEWPOINTS ARE ALREADY
SHOWING UP ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA. EXPANSIVE STRATUS DECK
CONTINUES TO SPREAD NORTHWARD...AND WILL BE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
REGARDING SEVERE POTENTIAL/MAGNITUDE.

DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AND ASSOCIATED LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...AS LEFT EXIT REGION OF 100KT JET OVERSPREADS
THE AREA. THINKING PRIMARILY ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE
THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AS
LOW-LEVEL WARM/MOIST ADVECTION CONTINUES UNDERNEATH UPPER DIFFLUENT
FLOW. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
BY NOON...RUC...GFS AND NAM HAVE THE DRY LINE POSITIONED ROUGHLY
JUST WEST OF A KINGMAN TO ELLSWORTH LINE. GIVEN THE STRONG
FORCING...STORMS COULD FIRE (OR BE ONGOING FROM EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION) BY EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT STRONG CAP VIA LOW CLOUDS WILL
HAMPER SURFACE HEATING AND INSTABILITY. SO CONVECTIVE INITIATION MAY
WAIT UNTIL EAST OF I-135. HOWEVER...MODIFIED RUC SOUNDINGS INDICATE
GIVEN INHIBITION WILL BE BREAKABLE DUE TO STRONG LARGE SCALE ASCENT.
NEVERTHELESS...STRONG SHEAR PROFILES...POTENTIALLY 1500-2000 J/KG OF
CAPE...AND LOW LCLS DICTATE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES. TORNADO THREAT
IS HIGHER WELL EAST OF THE TURNPIKE...WHERE LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL BE A
TAD MORE BACKED...ENHANCING LOW-LEVEL SHEAR. ADDITIONAL THREATS WILL
BE VERY LARGE HAIL DUE TO THE STRONG SHEAR...AND DAMAGING WINDS DUE
TO DRIER AIR ALOFT OVERSPREADING THE AREA. STORMS MAY BE A BIT MORE
DISCRETE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED (ESPECIALLY AT FIRST)...AS MODELS
ARE INDICATING DEEP LAYER SHEAR PROFILES A BIT MORE PERPENDICULAR TO
THE DRY LINE...ESPECIALLY FARTHER SOUTH. THEREAFTER...DUE TO THE
STRONG FORCING...THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MERGE INTO LINES WITH EMBEDDED
SUPERCELLS. STORMS WILL BE BOOKING NORTHEAST AT NEARLY 45-50 MPH.
STORMS SHOULD EXIT SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY MID EVENING...DEPENDING ON
SPEED OF DRY LINE.

ADDITIONALLY...WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR TODAY FOR ALL OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS FROM 9AM-6PM...TO ACCOUNT FOR STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT/PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF DRY LINE AND DEEP MIXING
BEHIND DRY LINE.

THEREAFTER...FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY-FRIDAY
NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY-SUNDAY...AS ANOTHER SYSTEM
APPROACHES AND MOVES OVER THE AREA. GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO BE
FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH THIS SYSTEM...ADVERTISING A RELATIVELY LOW
AMPLITUDE MID-LEVEL FLOW. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD INCREASE ONCE
AGAIN BY NEXT TUESDAY...AS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE
A DEEP TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. STILL A WAYS OUT...BUT COULD
POTENTIALLY BE ANOTHER ACTIVE PERIOD. STAY TUNED.
