AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
319 PM CST MON FEB 16 2009

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS THROUGH THE NEXT 7 DAYS INCLUDE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS TUESDAY (IN FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW) AND VARIOUS
TEMPERATURE SWINGS. NO MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED...AS
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PREVAILS FOR A MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OFF THE SOUTHERN CA COAST WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS TONIGHT...ALLOWING CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW
AND NORTHWARD MOISTURE RETURN ACROSS THE PLAINS. CONSEQUENTLY...LOW
CLOUDS WILL SPREAD/DEVELOP NORTHWARD LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE
RUSSELL...BARTON...LINCOLN AND ELLSWORTH COUNTIES. CLOUD THICKNESS
MAY BE JUST THICK ENOUGH FOR A FEW AREAS OF LIGHT MIST/DRIZZLE...BUT
THINKING FOR THE MOST PART CLOUD THICKNESS WILL BE TOO THIN. BY
AFTERNOON...CLOUDS WILL CLEAR FROM THE WEST...AS DRIER AIR FILTERS
EAST IN RESPONSE TO THE SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST.
STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE DRYLINE IN CONCERT WITH FULL
SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SOAR INTO THE 60S AND
70S...WARMEST ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL KS. GUIDANCE WASNT NEARLY HIGH
ENOUGH OVER CENTRAL/SOUTH-CENTRAL KS...SO WENT 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE
GUIDANCE THERE. CLOUDS COULD VERY WILL LINGER MUCH OF THE DAY OVER
SOUTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL KS...HOLDING TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S.
COULD BE LOOKING AT WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL
KANSAS...ALTHOUGH PROXIMITY OF SURFACE LOW MAY KEEP WIND SPEEDS DOWN
SOME.

COLDER AIR AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL FILTER SOUTH ON TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST. COULD SEE SOME FLURRIES ACROSS CENTRAL KS WITH THE
MID-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE ON TUESDAY NIGHT...AND THEN AGAIN
WEDNESDAY WITH THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND STRATOCUMULUS...BUT
THINKING MAJORITY OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN NORTH AND EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA. AFTER A BIT OF A WARMUP ON FRIDAY...GFS AND ECMWF
MODELS BOTH PLUNGE ANOTHER SHOT OF POLAR/ARCTIC AIR SOUTH ACROSS THE
PLAINS/MIDWEST BY SATURDAY. THE GFS IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD AIR...WITH THE ECMWF NOT AS
AMPLIFIED/COLD. WITH MID/UPPER FLOW BECOMING MORE ZONAL BY LATE
WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK...TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE. QUESTION WILL
BE HOW FAST COLD AIR WILL RETREAT EASTWARD. GFS WOULD INDICATE
COOLER AIR HANGING TOUGH THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH ECMWF SCOURING OUT
COLD AIR ON SATURDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING FOR A WARM SUNDAY.
REGARDLESS...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT WARMING TREND WILL COMMENCE BY
AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY.

ADK

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS...KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MVFR CIGS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA DURING LATTER HALF
OF THE FORECAST VALID PERIOD. INCREASING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL RESULT IN MOISTURE TRANSPORT NORTHWARD INTO KANSAS...WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF STRATUS/STRATOCU CIGS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING.

KED

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SKIES WILL CLEAR AND DEWPOINTS WILL DROP BY LATE TUESDAY MORNING FOR
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/SOUTH-CENTRAL KS...AS THE DRYLINE PROGRESSES
EAST. STOUT SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AS WELL. THERE
REMAINS SOME QUESTION ON HOW FAR EAST THE DEWPOINTS WILL MIX
OUT...WHICH WILL AFFECT TEMPERATURES. THERES ALSO SOME QUESTION ON
WIND SPEED MAGNITUDE DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE SURFACE LOW.
CONSEQUENTLY...WENT WITH A RED FLAG WARNING WHERE CONFIDENCE IS
HIGHEST THAT THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INDEX WILL REACH THE EXTREME
CATEGORY (BARTON...RICE...RENO...KINGMAN AND HARPER COUNTIES) FROM
NOON-6PM. WENT WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE ROW OF COUNTIES
SURROUNDING THE WARNING. WILL LET THE NIGHT SHIFT MAKE THE CALL ON
WEATHER OR NOT TO UPGRADE TO A WARNING.
