AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
305 AM CDT SUN OCT 26 2008

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE PERTAINS TO FREEZE WATCHES AND WARNINGS
TONIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT. ALSO STRONG WIND POTENTIAL IN CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON.

TODAY-TONIGHT:
SURFACE COLD FRONT IS QUICKLY MOVING SOUTHWARD THIS MORNING...WITH A
BRIEF PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. TIMING BRINGS THE
FRONT TO KICT BY 12Z AND THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY 15Z. ARCTIC
AIR WILL MOVE IN...ESPECIALLY MONDAY NIGHT.

WHILE WINDS WILL INCREASE SOMEWHAT BEHIND THE FRONT THIS
MORNING...THE WINDS WILL INCREASE EVEN MORE THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR CENTRAL KANSAS TO REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BRIEFLY
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT VERY HIGH THAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA WINDS WILL BE WIDESPREAD. IF ANYWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA
DOES REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA...IT WILL BE ALONG INTERSTATE 70 IN
CENTRAL KANSAS.

ONE MAJOR FORECAST CONCERN IS WHAT TO DO WITH THE FREEZE WATCH THAT
HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR TONIGHT. THE
SURFACE HIGH WILL BE CENTERED OVER WESTERN KANSAS TONIGHT...SO THE
BEST RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE IN THAT AREA. EASTERN KANSAS WILL
LIKELY NOT DECOUPLE TONIGHT...WITH 10 KNOT WINDS NEAR THE SURFACE
MOST OF THE NIGHT. WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN A HARD FREEZE OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM
KINGMAN TO NEWTON AND COTTONWOOD FALLS...WILL UPGRADE THAT AREA TO A
FREEZE WARNING. CONFIDENCE IS MUCH LOWER IN A HARD FREEZE FURTHER
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE WARNING AREA DUE TO THE STRONGER WINDS AND
WARMER SURFACE TEMPERATURES...BUT COLLABORATION WARRANTED A WATCH TO
BE ISSUED/CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. THERE
DOES REMAIN SOME UNCERTAINTY...SO DATA CAN BE COMBED THROUGH AGAIN
DURING LATER FORECASTS.

MONDAY-TUESDAY:
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PERIOD IS THE FREEZE POTENTIAL ON MONDAY
NIGHT. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY
MONDAY...AND WILL BE OVER EASTERN KANSAS/OKLAHOMA BY MONDAY EVENING.
THIS IS A MUCH MORE FAVORABLE SCENARIO FOR A HARD FREEZE FOR THE
SOUTHEASTERN HALF OR SO OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS AREA WILL
DECOUPLE QUICKLY AND RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE STRONG. WITH THE
EXPECTATION OF A HARD FREEZE IN CENTRAL/PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS TONIGHT...WE WOULD NOT BE ISSUING ANY OTHER FROST/FREEZE
HEADLINES FOR THAT AREA AFTER TONIGHT. THEREFORE WE WILL ISSUE A
FREEZE WATCH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED NORTHWESTWARD IF THERE
ARE AREAS THAT DO NOT SEE THE EXPECTED HARD FREEZE TONIGHT.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL ON MONDAY...BUT SHOULD BE
CLOSER TO NORMAL ON TUESDAY WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE DURING THIS
PERIOD AND WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT.

WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY:
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE DRY...WITH TEMPERATURES
MODERATING TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE
SHOWING ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT COMING THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY.
FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK...SO NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN
MADE TO THIS PART OF THE FORECAST.

SCHRECK

.AVIATION...06Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
STRONG COLD FRONT APPEARS TO BE ACCELERATING AS IT SURGES SE
ACROSS SC & SE NEBRASKA. AT 12 MID-NIGHT THE FRONT WAS
APPROACHING THE NEBRASKA/KS BORDER WITH N/NE WINDS OF 15-20KTS
SUSTAINED ACROSS MOST OF NEBRASKA. AS SUCH HAVE MOVED ARRIVAL TIME
OF COLD FRONT INTO KRSL & KSLN UP 1-2 HOURS FROM 00Z ISSUANCE &
HAVE ALSO INCREASED WINDS TO 17-22KTS (20-25MPH) SUSTAINED FOR
BOTH TERMINALS FROM 11-12Z ONWARD. CLOUDS TO BE LIMITED TO A FEW
CUMULUS 5,000 FEET OVER BOTH KRSL & KSLN THIS AFTERNOON.
