AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
300 PM CDT SUN APR 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE THE CHANCES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
TONIGHT AND INTO MONDAY.

TONIGHT:
THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN KEEPING OUR EYE ON A WARM FRONT THAT IS
LYING JUST OVER I-70 IN CENTRAL KANSAS...WESTWARD TO A SURFACE LOW
IN WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. FROM THE LOW...A DRYLINE EXTENDED SOUTHWARD
INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND LOOKING AT THE VERTICAL PROFILE OF THE
ATMOSPHERE...ANYTHING THAT DOES FIRE UP SHOULD BUILD RAPIDLY WITH
THE MAIN THREAT BEING STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. AT THIS TIME AM
THINKING WE COULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL KANSAS
ALONG THE WARM FRONT TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON. ONCE THESE STORMS GET
GOING...AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES THEY SHOULD MOVE EAST AND SOUTHEAST
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS COULD BE HIGH AND DRY
UNLESS SOMETHING CAN BREAK THE CAP AND GETTING GOING ON THE DRYLINE
TO THE WEST OF US THEN MOVE IN THIS EVENING. HAVE THE LOWEST POPS
IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BECAUSE OF THIS REASON.

MONDAY:
BY MONDAY MORNING THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES SHOULD HAVE MOVED SOUTH AND
EAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
PERSONALLY THINK THIS WILL BE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IN
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE
BOUNDARY WILL BE IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS DURING PEAK HEATING SO THE
CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE FOR THAT AREA AGAIN
TOMORROW. BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL
CRANK THE WINDS UP IN OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON.

TUESDAY:
INTRODUCED SMALL POPS FOR SOME LINGERING SHOWERS INTO THIS TIME
FRAME MAINLY FOR OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES DUE TO THE
BACKWASH AROUND THE SURFACE LOW. THIS WILL BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE
PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE 55 TO 60 DEGREE RANGE

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY:
WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE A VERY NICE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVER THE FORECAST AREA. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT
WINDS...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE. THURSDAY A
SHORTWAVE TROF SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE
UPPER PLAINS. THIS WILL PUSH THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH LEE TROFFING SETTING UP ALONG THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES. WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA
WHICH WILL WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE 70S. OUR WESTERN COUNTIES
COULD WARM TO AROUND 80.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY:
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ON TO THE EAST AS OUR NEXT
STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. BY SATURDAY MORNING
MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL EXTEND
FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI TO A SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS. WILL THERE BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE TO FUEL ANY CONVECTION ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE BIG
QUESTION. MODELS DO INDICATE PRECIPITATION SO DID INTRODUCE SMALL
CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY. AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES
SOUTHEAST...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN. DID KEEP SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR SUNDAY JUST ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER. ELSEWHERE SHOULD
BE DRY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR AGAIN ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE RISK OF
