637 AM CDT SAT MAY 31 2008

.UPDATE...

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAFS RSL/SLN/HUT/ICT/CNU
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS...IN RESPONSE TO CONVERGENCE WITHIN 850
FRONTAL ZONE ALONG WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE 850-700 LAYER.
ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING INTO AN MCS WHICH SHOULD GRADUALLY WORK ITS
WAY EWD ACROSS SERN KS THROUGH MIDDAY. SOME TAF SITES THAT WILL BE
AFFECTED THRU MIDDAY INCLUDE HUT/ICT/CNU. ACTIVITY MAY WEAKEN
AND/OR BECOME MORE ISOLD LATER THIS PM. HOWEVER...WE EXPECT
ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG-SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT
WITH ADDITIONAL CONVERGENCE/ISENTROPIC LIFT PROGGED WITHIN 850-700
BAROCLINIC ZONE NEAR THE KS/OK BORDER. TAF SITES MOST LIKELY TO BE
AFFECTED REMAIN HUT/ICT/CNU.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 AM CDT SAT MAY 31 2008/

DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN: THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS WEEKEND AND AGAIN
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

TODAY-MONDAY:
MODERATE MID-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE KANSAS
REGION DURING THE PERIOD. SURFACE-850 FRONTAL ZONE NEAR THE KS/OK
BORDER PROGGED TO REMAIN IN TACT INTO SUNDAY...BEFORE
WEAKENING/DISSIPATING MONDAY. WILL MAINTAIN 20-30% POPS TODAY IN
S-CNTRL/SERN KS WITH WEAK 850 CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH SOME ISENTROPIC
LIFT IN THE 850-700 FRONTAL ZONE. THE 850 CONVERGENCE/MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AND 850-700 LAYER ISENTROPIC ASCENT INCREASE EACH NIGHT
THE NEXT 2 NIGHTS INTO THE MORNING HOURS. MODERATE-STRONG
INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH 45-55 KT OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL BE
SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELL TYPE STORMS TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY ESPECIALLY
DURING THE PM/EVE HOURS. BY MON PM...CONVECTION ACTIVITY SHOULD
SHIFT MAINLY INTO NERN KS AS WARMER MID-LEVEL AIR SPREADS INTO OUR
AREA. TRIMMED HIGHS BACK A FEW DEGREES SUNDAY IN ANTICIPATION OF
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS AND EASTERLY WINDS. OTHERWISE MONDAY SHOULD HEAT
UP WITH LESS CLOUDS AND MORE OF A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT.

TUESDAY-FRIDAY:
IT APPEARS WE MAY SEE A BRIEF REPRIEVE IN CONVECTION CHANCES TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY WITH WARMER MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES IN PLACE. ALTHOUGH
THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES IN DETAILS...THE
GFS...UKMET...AND ECMWF ALL ARE DEPICTING AN ANOMALOUSLY STRONG
UPPER TROF MOVING OUT OF THE WESTERN CONUS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW
SUBSTANTIAL GULF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY TO FLOW NWD ACROSS OUR AREA
WITH INCREASING THUNDERSTORM/SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES AS THE UPPER
TROF/DRYLINE FEATURES MOVE EWD ACROSS OUR AREA. HAVE INCREASED
POPS INTO LOW END CHANCE CATEGORY THURS-THURS NIGHT FOR NOW...AND
WILL LIKELY REFINE/INCREASE POPS AS WE GET NEARER IN TIME AND
CONFIDENCE GROWS IN THE SOLUTION.
