.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2008/

DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN HEAVY RAIN FOR TONIGHT AND INTO
FRIDAY IN SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

TONIGHT:
THE COLD FRONT HAS BEEN MEANDERING THROUGH THE DAY...MOVING A FEW
MILES NORTH...THEN A FEW MILES SOUTH...ETC. EXPECTATION IS THAT
STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND AFFECT MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL
AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS EVENING. DEEP SHEAR INCREASES TO AROUND 60
KNOTS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING AND EVEN ACROSS
SOUTHEAST KANSAS DEEP SHEAR IS OVER 40 KNOTS...SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS. MLCAPE VALUES COULD BE OVER 4000 ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AS WELL. EARLY ON THIS EVENING...DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS WITH HAIL...WIND...HEAVY RAINFALL AND PERHAPS SOME
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.

LATER (AFTER 03Z OR SO) THE THREAT WILL SHIFT TO MAINLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FLOODING. WARM CLOUD DEPTHS ARE 3000 TO 4000 KM AND
PLENTY SUFFICIENT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. AREAS EAST OF THE TURNPIKE
HAVE RECEIVED QUITE A BIT OF PRECIPITATION ALREADY THE PAST COUPLE
WEEKS...AND SOILS ARE STILL SATURATED. WITH THE STORMS CONTINUALLY
AFFECTING THE SAME AREAS...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE
SOME FLOODING. WE WILL EXPAND THE FLOOD WATCH WEST TO THE TURNPIKE
AND START IT EARLIER (00Z). HOWEVER...BE AWARE THAT THE HEAVIEST
RAINS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY:
RAIN WILL LIKELY LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST
KANSAS...BUT SHOULD NOT BE SIGNIFICANT. PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST
OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY EVENING...AND SKIES WILL BE SUNNY FOR SATURDAY
AND ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE MOISTURE TO EVAPORATE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
BE ABLE TO CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH THE STRONG
SUNSHINE...BUT DEPENDING HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION OCCURS THESE
TEMPERATURES MAY NEED TO BE LOWERED SOME.

SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY:
ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY AND INTO
MONDAY...BRINGING THE NEXT CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS SOME
LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS TIME....AND
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE ENOUGH FOR POTENTIALLY SEVERE STORMS. WE
DID INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE DRY WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE IN CONTROL...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME SMALL CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS EACH EVENING WITH NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BUT LOWER FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY GIVEN THE NORTHWEST FLOW.

SCHRECK

AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAF SUITE...A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT FROM NEAR
EMPORIA TO WICHITA WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION...SOME
SEVERE...LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT TONIGHT. MAINLY
VFR CONDITIONS...WITH MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS EXPECTED IN AND
NEAR CONVECTION THROUGH 12Z-14Z FRI MORNING.
