AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 849 PM CDT THU SEP 6 2007 .UPDATE... CURRENT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS SHOWN A GENERAL WEAKENING TREND OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO...LIKELY DUE TO STORMS ENCOUNTERING INCREASING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN QUARTER OF KS. THINKING THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE...AS DIURNAL COOLING CONTINUES...AND STORMS CONTINUE TO ENCOUNTER A STRENGTHENING CAP. HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 30KTS AND MODEST INSTABILITY WILL PROMOTE A STRONG/SEVERE THREAT OVER THE NEXT 3-4 HOURS. THEREAFTER...CONVERGENCE ALONG/AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET SHOULD PROMOTE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT SPREADING SOUTHEAST...BUT SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

SYNOPSIS... IR & WV IMAGERY DEPICT MID-UPR SHORTWAVE MOVING E ACROSS WY VERY CLOSE TO SCHEDULE. STILL EXPECT SHORTWAVE TO CROSS NRN MS VALLEY EARLY FRI MORNING. AS THE SHORTWAVE CONTINUES ITS EWD TREK TOWARD GREAT LAKES IT SHOULD ASSUME A MORE E/NE MOVEMENT IT ENCOUNTERS STRONG MID-UPR RIDGE SITUATED JUST OFF E COAST. SUCH BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON BEHAVIOR/POSITIONING OF ATTENDANT COLD FRONT THATLL VENTURE SE INTO CENTRAL KS LATE TONIGHT. SUCH EVOLUTION OF MID-UPR PATTERN WOULD TRANSLATE INTO COLD FRONTAL DECELERATION WOULD OF COURSE TRANSLATE INTO PROLONGING SHRA/TSRA ACROSS SC & SE KS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE OK BORDER...FRI NIGHT & SAT.

DEEP-LAYER SHEAR PROFILES BECOMING INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR A FEW SEVERE TSRA TO MOVE ACROSS THESE AREAS THROUGH MIDNIGHT...LIKELY EVOLVING INTO MCS THAT SHOULD PROPAGATE S/SE TOWARD KS TURNPIKE LATE TONIGHT.
