Severe Thunderstorm Warning 94, NWS Wichita, KS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
453 PM CDT MON APR 24 2006

.MESO UPDATE...
WE ARE SENDING OUT A QUICK UPDATE ON STORM TYPE POTENTIAL DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWING SOME GOOD ELEVATED SUPERCELLS DEVELOPING
OVER SUMNER AND COUNTIES. THESE STORMS MAY END UP PRODUCING HAIL
LARGER THAN 2 INCHES AS THEY MOVE NORTHEAST AT 30 TO 35 MPH. FURTHER
WEST JUST WEST OF PRATT...THE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION CONTINUES TO
LOWER ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THIS AREA APPEARS TO
BECOMING PRIMED FOR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION. STRETCHING PARAMETER
ALSO LOOKS FAVORABLE DUE TO STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES DEVELOPING
OVER THAT REGION. 0-1KT HELICITY IS AROUND 150 M2/S2 WHICH COULD
LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOGENISIS ESPECIALLY IF A STORM
DEVELOPS ALONG A BOUNDARY.
