NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 23, 12:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 23, 12:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 1240 PM CDT WED MAY 23 2007 .UPDATE FOR AVIATION SECTION... && .AVIATION...18Z TAFS RSL/SLN/HUT/ICT/CNU ORGANIZED CONVECTION LIKELY TO AFFECT CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WITH WELL-DEFINED NE-SW ORIENTED STATIONARY FRONT IN THIS REGION. SO CARRYING TEMPO GROUPS WITH TSRA IN ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT CNU...WITH TIMING DIFFERENCES ON WHEN THOSE TEMPOS WERE USED. MVFR CIGS QUITE PLAUSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANY CONVECTION...AND ALSO ACROSS A WIDESPREAD AREA ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT THURSDAY MORNING. JMC && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1154 AM CDT WED MAY 23 2007/ UPDATE... SENDING UPDATE FOR THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO WINDS. AS OF 16Z...STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDED FROM SALINA TO JUST WEST OF HUTCHINSON...TO BETWEEN MEDICINE LODGE AND PRATT. CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED AND BECOME MORE NUMEROUS RIGHT ALONG THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN AN AREA OF MAXIMUM MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. RUC40 SUGGESTS INSTABILITY WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE INTO THIS AFTERNOON WITH MUCAPES OF 2000 TO 3500 J/KG POSSIBLE. WITH 40-45 KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR ACROSS CENTRAL KS...SOME MID-LEVEL MESOCYCLONES POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD AUGMENT HAIL/WIND POTENTIAL. RUC40/NAM-WRF SUGGEST SUFFICIENT LOW-LEVEL CAPE MAY EXIST ALONG NE-SW ORIENTED FRONT SUCH THAT A BRIEF TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT THIS AFTERNOON. 0-1KM SHEAR/HODOGRAPHS INCREASE THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROF/INCREASING LOW-LEVEL JET. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW FAR EAST/NORTHEAST SUPERCELLS CAN MAKE IT COMING OUT OF SW KS/NW OK...AS THEY WILL HAVE TORNADIC POTENTIAL. MEANWHILE...CONVECTION IN CENTRAL KS SHOULD BECOME WIDESPREAD WITH CONVERGENCE DRAMATICALLY INCREASING IN VICINTY OF 850 FRONT. JMC PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 634 AM CDT WED MAY 23 2007/ AVIATION... MVFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE TAF LOCATIONS TODAY AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTH ACROSS THE AREA. TSRA CHANCES INCREASE AS DAY PROGRESSES WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING VCTS AFTER 22Z. COULD ALSO SEE SOME +TSRA AT HUT AND ICT AS CONVECTION ORGANIZES THIS EVENING. KETCHAM PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 301 AM CDT WED MAY 23 2007/ DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING CHANCES TODAY INTO THURSDAY. TODAY-TONIGHT: LINE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN CENTRAL KANSAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO A MORE CAPPED ENVIRONMENT. KEPT JUST SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS...AS WE EXPECT THE FRONT TO STALL SOON AND PRECIPITATION TO WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE BREEZY TODAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BUT SHOULD REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING THE REGION. SUPERCELLS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT OVER CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. SHEAR AND ML CAPE VALUES WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES. THE SUPERCELLS WOULD LIKELY DEVELOP INTO A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVERNIGHT. THE HEAVY RAINFALL IS STILL A THREAT AS WELL FOR TONIGHT...WITH CENTRAL KANSAS /AND SOME OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS/ BECOMING THE FOCUS FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING. THE FRONT WILL MAKE VERY LITTLE IF ANY PROGRESS SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE THURSDAY MORNING. FN CONVERGENCE REMAINS STRONG THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND FLOW IS PERSISTENTLY PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. WITH LOCATION OF CONVECTION/HEAVIEST RAINFALL EXPECTED TONIGHT...DECIDED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF CENTRAL KANSAS AS WELL AS PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THURSDAY-FRIDAY: THURSDAY...THE FRONT SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN TO PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THEREFORE THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT ALSO MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A WATCH FOR THURSDAY AT THIS POINT...BUT DAY SHIFT WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT A POTENTIAL FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS. ONCE THIS RAIN MOVES OUT OF THE AREA BY THURSDAY EVENING...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BRIEFLY FOR A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY ON FRIDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 70S SHOULD BE A NICE BREAK FOR THE AREA. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY DRY AND THERE IS SUBSIDENCE FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH 700MB. SATURDAY-TUESDAY: THE FRONT IS THEN PROGGED TO COME BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR PROLONGED AND/OR HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS TIME FRAME AS THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS OF WEATHER COME INTO BETTER FOCUS. SCHRECK AVIATION... LATEST MOSAIC RADAR LOOP/OBSERVATIONS ARE SHOWING CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NEAR LINCOLN TO JUST SOUTHEAST OF DODGE CITY. THIS BOUNDARY WAS CONTINUING TO IGNITE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTHEAST DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. WHERE THIS BOUNDARY ENDS UP WILL BE THE KEY ON WHERE THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT. WE HAVE KEPT THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS ACROSS THE RUSSELL AND SALINA TAF SITES FOR NOW. THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY GO AS FAR SOUTHEAST AS HUTCHINSON TOWARDS 10Z...BUT WE MAY JUST PLAY THE VICINITY ROUTE FOR NOW. MVFR CEILINGS WILL GENERALLY BE THE RULE OVERNIGHT...EXCEPT FOR RUSSELL WHERE THEY MAY BECOME VFR. COX && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
