.DISCUSSION...

00Z UPPR AIR ANLYS CONT TO INDC IMPRESSIVE UPPR LVL LO OVR THE WRN
US. MAIN SHRTWV OF INTEREST ROTATING AROUND THE PARENT LO WAS
LOCATED AT 00Z OVR ERN NM. LARGE SCALE FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE
WAVE ALLOWING FOR SQUALL LINE DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN KS THIS
EVNG. 00Z RAOB FM KTOP INDCD DECENT SIZE EML CONTD OVR ERN KS AND
H7 ANALYSIS ALSO CONFIRMS THIS WITH WIDESPREAD +13 C OVER THE
CNTRL AND SRN PLAINS. QUALITY GULF MOISTURE WAS IN PLACE ACRS A
LARGE PART OF THE CNTRL AND SRN PLAINS THIS EVNG WITH A +16 C H85
DEWPOINT NOTED AT KTOP.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUE OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS IS EVOLUTION OF
CONVECTION OVR CNTRL AND WRN KS. UPPR LVL SHRTWV TROF SHLD CONT TO
ROTATE NEWD INTO NEB AFTER MIDNIGHT. CWA WL REMAIN IN FAVORABLE
LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT IN ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHRTWV. THIS
WLD ARGUE THAT STORMS OVER CNTRL KS SHLD CONT TO TRACK NEWD INTO
THE WRN CWA...AND THIS SEEMS LIKELY. EWD EXTENT OF ACTIVITY IS IN
QUESTION DUE TO CAPPING INVERSION. LATEST DETERMINISTIC MODELS WLD
INDC A MOISTENING IN THE CAPPING LAYER LIKELY DUE TO PERSISTENT
ISENTROPIC LIFT AS LO LVL JET INCREASE. THIS MAY ACT TO WEAKEN THE
CAPPING INVERSION SOME AND ALLOW FOR AT LEAST ISO STORMS AS FAR
EAST AS HIGHWAY 75. LATEST RUC WLD ALSO SUPPORT THIS AS WELL. THUS
WL CONT WITH THE POPS OVER THE CWA WITH THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE
NW. INCREASED POPS THERE TO CAT AND LOWERED IN THE SE TO SCHC.
ALSO UPDATED EARLIER TO REMOVE EVNG CHANCES.

AS FAR AS SVR WX POTENTIAL. THERE IS CERTAINLY STRONG INSTABILITY
OVR THE CNTRL/WRN CWA THRU THE NIGHT AND SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR
ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS. FEEL THAT AS THINGS MOVE FARTHER EAST
NOCTURNAL INVERSION SHLD LIMIT TOR THREAT AND THUS WND AND HAIL
SEEM TO BE THE MAIN THREAT OVER THE WRN CWA. THUS CURRENT HWO
LOOKS ON TRACK. WL ALSO CONT WITH THE FLOOD WATCH OVER THE NW CWA
WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS FELL LAST NIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 312 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2008/

DISCUSSION...

MESSY START TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.  AT 19Z...CONVECTION THAT
DEVELOPED OVER WESTERN KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING IN ZONE OF WEAK
CONVERGENCE COINCIDENT WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD
NOW PUSHING THROUGH CENTRAL NE. HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL...UP TO DIME
SIZE...HAIL WAS REPORTED WITH SOME OF THE STRONG STORMS THIS
MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SET THE STAGE FOR WATER ISSUES IN THE NEAR
TERM FORECAST. AFTERNOON WV IMAGERY DEPICTING DEEP...BROAD TROUGH
CONTINUES TO ROTATE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. SEVERAL PIECES OF ENERGY
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...WHICH WILL EJECT NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ONE NOTABLY NOW
OVER NORTHERN NM...WHICH WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR CONCERN OVERNIGHT. AT
THE SURFACE...WARM/NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT SITS ALONG A LINE FROM
JUST SOUTH OF HAYS...SOUTHEASTWARD TO JUST NORTH OF CHANUTE. WEAK
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY HELPING A FEW SHOWERS POP-UP OVER
CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...CONVECTION WILL INITIATE ALONG THE SURFACE DRYLINE OVER
WESTERN KANSAS. MEAN WINDS/CORFIDI VECTORS POINT CONVECTIVE
PROPAGATION N/NE-WARD...SIMILAR TO LAST EVENING. THIS WILL TAKE THE
BULK OF THE CONVECTION ACROSS NE...AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS.
SEVERAL FACTORS PLAYED INTO THE DECISION TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH OVERNIGHT. FIRST...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES GREATER THAN 1.5
INCHES WILL ALLOW FOR STORMS TO BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. NEXT...
SATURATED GROUND IN PLACE OVER NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS FROM RAINFALL
THIS MORNING. THIRD...RIVERS HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE RISE.
FINALLY...EVEN IF HEAVIEST RAINFALL STICKS NORTHWEST OF THE
AREA...WATER WILL DRAIN THROUGH BASINS INTO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
TROUBLE LIES IN WHAT HAPPENS BEYOND THE FLOODING. CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL LOOKS CONFINED TO NORTH CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
KANSAS OVERNIGHT...WHERE BETTER SHEAR EXISTS. BEST AXIS OF MOISTURE
ADVECTION ALONG THE LOW LEVEL JET STREAMS ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS
THROUGH THE NIGHT. DIFFICULTY HERE IF CONVECTION OVER NE THROWS OUT
AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...AS WAS THE CASE THIS MORNING...WHICH WOULD
LIMIT PRECIPITATION CHANCE ACROSS NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS.
ALSO...QUALITY OF MOISTURE RETURN MAY BE COMPROMISED IF CONVECTION
OVER OKLAHOMA REALIZES.

SATURDAY...WARM FRONT LOOKS A BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH THAN TODAY.
MAY SEE THE EASTERN EDGE STICK A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE MODELS
ARE SHOWING...REINFORCED BY A POTENTIAL AFOREMENTIONED OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY. CONVERGENCE LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER ALONG THE BOUNDARY
TOMORROW. GOOD CAPE VALUES OF AROUND 3500J/KG AND FAVORABLE SHEAR
VALUES WOULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE STORMS...AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL...THUNDERSTORM WINDS...AND POSSIBLY
TORNADOES. HEAVY RAIN WOULD REINFORCE THE FLOODING POTENTIAL.

EL

THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE TO THE EAST OF THE DRY LINE ACROSS
CENTRAL KANSAS SATURDAY EVENING AND IN EASTERN KANSAS NORTH OF A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN SOUTHERN KANSAS. FLOW THROUGH THE SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST WITH THE UPPER
TROUGH RETROGRADING INTO THE EASTERN PACIFIC. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS
FORECAST TO SET UP ACROSS TO BE NEAR THE KANSAS AND NEBRASKA BORDER
THROUGH SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET
INCREASING EACH NIGHT AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS WELL AS
POOLING OF MOISTURE WILL SEE PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS AND CORFIDI VECTORS SHOWING AN EAST
SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT FOR FORWARD PROPAGATING STORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO
1.80 INCHES IN NORTHEAST KANSAS SUNDAY NIGHT. COULD SEE SOME
FLOODING AGAIN IN NORTHEAST CORNER IF SCENARIO PLAYS OUT.

UPPER FLOW FLATTENS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY WEDNESDAY WITH
MINOR WAVES EJECTING OUT INTO THE PLAINS FROM THE TROUGH IN THE
WEST. THE BAROCLINIC ZONE SETS UP ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE FRONT THEN MOVING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON
THURSDAY. WILL KEEP SMALL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION GOING THROUGH THE
PERIOD AS CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON EXACT PLACEMENT OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
AND TIMING OF WAVES. A TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS MAINLY AFFECTING THE NORTHERN COUNTIES
THURSDAY NIGHT THEN EXITING FRIDAY. HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S AND LOWS
IN THE 60S.

AVIATION...

SEVERAL CONCERNS FOR THE 18Z TAF CYCLE AT EACH TOP/FOE/MHK.
FIRST...THE CHANCE FOR THUNDER. CONVECTION THAT INITIATES ALONG THE
DRYLINE ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS TONIGHT LOOKS TO PROPAGATE MAINLY NE.
WARM ADVECTION MAY HELP SPARK STORMS LATE THIS EVENING
OTHERWISE...BUT WITH LOW CONFIDENCE AS TO WHEN INITIATION WILL
BE...CHOSE TO MAINTAIN GOING VCTS GROUP AFTER 01-03Z. SECOND...CIGS
LOOK TO REMAIN RIGHT AT TO BELOW VFR THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.
THIS AFTERNOON...CIGS HAVE SCATTERED OUT FOR THE MOST PART...BUT
ROBUST MOISTURE ADVECTION AXIS LOOKS TO SET UP RIGHT OVER MHK
TONIGHT. EXPECT CIGS TO DROP TO IFR...POTENTIALLY LIFR AT MHK EARLY
SAT MORNING. TOP/FOE WILL MORE LIKELY STAY MVFR...POTENTIALLY
DROPPING TO IFR EARLY IN THE MORNING--WHICH WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED BY UPCOMING SHIFTS. WINDS WILL BE EASTERLY THROUGH THE
PERIOD GENERALLY NORTH OF WHERE THE WARM/STATIONARY FRONT SETS
UP...AND REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE EVENING...AND AGAIN TOMORROW
MORNING. VIS WILL BE MVFR FOR A FEW HOURS SAT MORNING WITH MOISTURE
POOLING ALONG THE FRONT.
