MOST INTENSE CELLS...CAPABLE OF 70-80MPH WINDS...GOLFBALL- SIZED HAIL & TORRENTIAL RAINS HAD JUST CROSSED THE KS TURNPIKE FROM ANDOVER TO NEAR BELLE PLAINE 925PM CDT. MUCH OF SE KS (ESPECIALLY AREAS GENERALLY ALONG & N OF A LINE FROM MOLINE (SW ELK COUNTY) TO NEODESHA) SHOULD BE READY FOR PRIMARILY DAMAGING 70-80MPH WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAINS THRU THE MID-NIGHT HOUR. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 843 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2009/ MESOSCALE UPDATE... SVR TSTRMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GOLFBALL-SIZED HAIL AND DAMAGING 70-80MPH WINDS CONTINUE TO SURGE E THROUGH THE HEART OF KICT COUNTRY THIS EVENING. AT 835 PM CDT...SVR TSTRMS WERE CROSSING I-135 WITH THE MOST INTENSE CELLS CROSSING THE KS TURNPIKE BETWEEN KICT & THE OK BORDER. ANOTHER SVR TSTRM IS MOVG E35MPH ALONG THE KINGMAN/HARPER COUNTY LINE & SHOULD CROSS THE KS TURNPIKE BETWEEN 900PM & 915 PM CDT. DAMAGING 2-INCH DIAMETER HAIL IS LIKELY WITH THIS LATTER CELL. POPS/WX/QPF GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPPATED TO REFLECT THE MOST RECENT TRENDS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 704 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2009/ AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS TAF ISSUANCE IS THE TIMING OF WHEN THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. LATEST RADAR LOOP WAS SHOWING NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST AND AFFECT THE MAJORITY OF THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING. THIS COMPLEX MAY STILL ORGANIZE INTO AN MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE. AFTER THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS MOVES THROUGH WE ARE LOOKING AT CLEARING SKIES WITH SOME SCATTERED 1500FT STRATUS POSSIBLE TOWARDS DAYBREAK. COX PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 316 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2009/ DISCUSSION... THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE THE SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL THIS EVENING...THEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. TONIGHT: LATEST VISIBLE IMAGERY WAS SHOWING A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS ACTIVITY LOOKS TO BE RATHER CAPPED AND ELEVATED AT THIS TIME...AND MAY REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...LOOKING AT THE LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS IT APPEARS LIKE THE MIXED LAYER CONVECTIVE INHIBITION IS LESS ACROSS AREAS EAST OF THE TURNPIKE. IF THIS CLUSTER CAN HOLD TOGETHER...THEN IT MAY BE ABLE TO BECOME SEVERE ONCE IT MOVES INTO AREAS OF THE TURNPIKE. ALTHOUGH...WE ARE NOT REAL CONFIDENT IN THIS OCCURRING. THE MAIN FOCUS APPEARS TO BE IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS STRETCHING INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE WHERE QUITE A BIT OF CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT IS TAKING PLACE IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER LEVEL POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANOMALY. THIS POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANOMALY SHOULD STIR UP QUITE A BIT CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IN WESTERN KANSAS AND THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON. PUTTING ALL OF THIS TOGETHER IT APPEARS LIKE WE COULD SEE A FEW ISOLATED STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...EARLY THIS EVENING. IF THESE STORMS DEVELOP...THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE SUPERCELLULAR WITH EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT...ESPECIALLY IF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS AHEAD OF THE CELLS. LATER TONIGHT IS A TOUGH CALL ON THE TRACK OF THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (MCS). AT THIS POINT...WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO FOCUS ON ANY PARTICULAR AREA. ALTHOUGH...THE BEST CHANCE FOR A LONG LIVED MCS APPEARS TO BE IN CENTRAL KANSAS ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF WESTERLIES. SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS ON THE OTHER HAND IS NOT OUT OF THE WOODS ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH HIGH INSTABILITY IN PLACE...GOOD 850MB STORM RELATIVE FLOW. A STRONG COLD POOL COULD ALSO DEVELOP WHICH MAY CAUSE A PROLONGED WIND EVENT. WE ALSO WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT...DUE TO HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN PLACE. TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT: THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE PICTURE MAINLY BEFORE DAYBREAK ON TUESDAY...BUT THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WILL SEE A FAIRLY NICE DAY WITH COOLER CONDITIONS. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AS SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT DEVELOPS ALONG A BAROCLINIC ZONE BETWEEN 310-315K. HOWEVER... THERE IS NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. WITH SOME INSTABILITY IN PLACE...WE PLAN ON KEEPING SMALL CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WEDNESDAY-MONDAY: THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPEARS TO MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL PUSH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. AS A RESULT...MORE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. BEYOND THIS PERIOD...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE AREA AND BRING BACK HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND. COX AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU A STATIONARY BOUNDARY SPANS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS AREA WILL BE THE FOCUS OF A DECENT CUMULUS FIELD. ELSEWHERE...WARM TEMPERATURES AND AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL KANSAS. THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO. LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY IN SW KANSAS WILL MOVE EASTWARD A KICK OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF NOCTURNAL STORMS. ONCE AGAIN...LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY CULPRIT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
