.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

VERY INTERESTING WEATHER SITUATION UNFOLDING FOR THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS
SHOWING IMPRESSIVE UPPER SYSTEM ACROSS WESTERN US THIS MORNING. A
COUPLE OF +110KT JET STREAKS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF AT
H3. HEIGHT FALLS OF -130M WITH RISES OF +120M FOUND WITH SYSTEM AT
H5. UPPER LOW WAS CENTERED ACROSS SOUTHERN UT. H7 TEMPERATURES
ACROSS DDC WERE +5C WITH AMA REPORTING +7C. +15C DEWPOINTS WERE
FOUND AT H85 FLOWING NORTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN TX.

DRYLINE WAS FOUND ACROSS WESTERN KS/EASTERN CO AT 19Z THIS MORNING.
SKIES WERE BEGINNING TO CLEAR AND TEMPERATURES ARE CLIMBING. PLENTY
OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS IN PLACE FOR A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER EVENT THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT. SURFACE DEWPOINTS EAST OF
THE DRYLINE WILL BE INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. CAPES ARE
FORECAST TO BE IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF CWA THROUGH 03Z
THU. IN ADDITION, LIS WELL BELOW 0C AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
RANGING FROM 6.5C/KM TO 7.5C/KM ARE EXPECTED. SHOULD SEE THE CAP IN
PLACE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON TODAY. ONCE STORMS BEING TO FIRE,
STORMS WILL MOVE INTO AN ENVIRONMENT OF 0-1KM HELICITY IN EXCESS OF
200M2/S2. SOUNDINGS ARE RATHER IMPRESSIVE WITH GOOD SHEAR PROFILES.
PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FROM SCOTT CITY
TO GARDEN CITY TO MEADE AND EAST. THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH DRYLINE
WILL BE CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN.
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. BEHIND THE DRYLINE, DEVELOPMENT OF
A SQUALL LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT LOOKS LIKELY DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. COOLIDGE TO ELKHART SHOULD SEE STORMS COMING TO AN
END AROUND MIDNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD. BY THURSDAY
MORNING, STORMS SHOULD BE EAST OF SCOTT CITY TO GARDEN CITY TO
LIBERAL. HAYS TO DODGE CITY TO MEADE WILL BE RATHER CHALLENGING TO
END PRECIP AS SYSTEM SLOWS. WILL GRADUALLY END THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
IN THE ABOVE LOCATIONS OVER THE MORNING HOURS BUT EASTERN FA COULD
SEE ANOTHER ROUGH DAY DEPENDING ON SPEED OF SYSTEM. EITHER WAY, THE
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT
AND INTO THE MORNING FURTHER EAST. WILL ALSO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON
SPEED OF SYSTEM AS ADDITIONAL PRECIP ACROSS EASTERN FA COULD BE
POSSIBLE. FOR NOW, HAVE ENDED ALL PRECIP BY FRIDAY MORNING. IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT LOCATIONS FURTHER WEST COULD BE WET THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT SYSTEM TIMING.

WIND ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD IN PRESENT STATE AND WILL MAKE NO CHANGES
IT AT THIS TIME. HAVE ALSO ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH THIS EVENING THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS HEAVY RAIN IS ANTICIPATED WITH DEVELOPING
THUNDERSTORMS BOTH INITIALLY AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT.

DAYS 3-7...

MAIN CHALLENGE IN THE EXTENDED WILL BE EXTENT OF WARM-UP LATE
WEEKEND AND MONDAY...THEN THE NEXT CHANCE FOR CONVECTIVE PCPN AROUND
MONDAY EVENING.

THE MAIN COLLABORATIVE ISSUE IN THE GRIDS CENTERS AROUND HIGH
TEMPERATURES MONDAY.  THE GFS AND LAST NIGHTS RUN OF THE ECMWF
SUGGEST A PRONOUNCED THERMAL RIDGE EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO WESTERN
KANSAS AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT.  NEXT PACIFIC JET STREAK WILL
APPROACH NORTHERN ROCKIES AROUND MONDAY.  THERE ARE SOME TIMING
ISSUES WITH THE ECMWF BEING A BIT FASTER THAN THE GFS...BUT THERE IS
OVERALL AGREEMENT IN THE MAJOR GLOBAL SPECTRAL MODEL SOLUTIONS OF
LOWER TROP DEVELOPMENT AND A RETURN IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE NORTHWARD
INTO KANSAS.  HAVE INCREASED HIGHS MONDAY INTO THE MID-UPPER 70S
WITH NEAR 80 IN THE SOUTHWEST ZONES.  WILL ALSO HAVE 20 POPS GOING
LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING MONDAY OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN CWA.  THIS COULD
BE THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS WELL IF ENOUGH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CAN ADVECT BACK NORTH.

&&

.AVIATION...

CLEARLY THE MAIN CHALLENGE IS TIMING OF THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
GCK/DDC/HYS TERMINALS. BEFORE STORMS DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...WINDS WILL REMAIN ABOUT 16025G35KT OVER
PRETTY MUCH ALL OF SOUTHWESTERN AND WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. AM
ANTICIPATING THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OVER THE WESTERN PANHANDLES NORTHWARD ALONG THE KS/CO
BORDER...THEN MATURE DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS OVER FAR
SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS. BY MID-EVENING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
BE APPROACHING KGCK AND WILL HAVE +TSRA TIMED ROUGHLY 0130 TO
0300Z. THE EASTERN PROGRESSION OF STORMS IS DIFFICULT TO
ANTICIPATE GIVEN THE STRONG DEEP LAYER SOUTHERLY FLOW...SO WILL
TIME THE HEAVIEST STORMS (+TSRA) IN HAYS AND DODGE CITY ROUGHLY
0330 TO 0500Z. AFTER THE MAIN SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THINK THERE
WILL BE OTHER NON-SEVERE OR MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS AFFECTING ALL
THREE TERMINALS THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, SO HAVE A
PROB30 GROUP IN THERE THROUGH ROUGHLY 10Z AT GCK AND 11-12Z AT DDC
AND HYS.  -UMSCHEID
