ONGOING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT NORTHEAST

HOURS. ADDITIONAL STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG PERIPHERY / OUTFLOW OF
THIS COMPLEX MAY SPREAD IMPACTS INTO KMLC/KFSM LATE THIS MORNING
INTO THE AFTERNOON. LOWER FLIGHT CATEGORIES ARE LARGELY TIED TO

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 AM CDT WED SEP 9 2009/

DISCUSSION...
A MCV COMBINED WITH ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE ENHANCED BY A LOW
LEVEL JET HAS RESULTED IN A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KANSAS AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS
MORNING.  THE RAIN IS MOVING OVER THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH
AND SEE NO REASON TO CANCEL IT.  WILL NOT EXTEND IT BEYOND THE
MORNING HOURS...HOWEVER...AS I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE RAIN WILL
LAST ALL DAY.  THIS SAME REASONING APPLIES TO MY HIGH TEMPERATURE
FORECAST TODAY.  THINK WE COULD SEE SOME SUN THIS AFTERNOON...
ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA.  WITH
ANY SUN AT ALL...IT WILL HEAT UP QUICKLY GIVEN 850 TEMPS SIMILAR
TO YESTERDAY.

RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL CONTINUE TO BE RATHER STAGNANT IN ITS WIND FIELDS AND MOISTURE
WILL BE PLENTIFUL.  THE BEST RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK WILL BE FROM
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.  AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG AND
CUT OFF OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DRIVING A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA.  BASED THIS ON MY FAVORITE MODELS
FOR THE DAY WHICH INCLUDE THE 12Z ECMWF AND THE 00Z CANADIAN MODEL.
ALSO BASED THIS ON WHAT I SAW LAST NIGHT WHICH WAS QUITE SIMILAR
TO WHAT I SAW THIS MORNING. ALL SAID AND DONE COULD HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT  FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY
OVER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN COULD BE POSSIBLE.

TEMPERTURE WISE...CLOUDS AND THE POTENTIAL RAIN WILL HOLD THEM
DOWN SOME AND HIGHER DEW POINTS WILL KEEP MORNING LOWS RATHER
MILD.  FOR THE WEEKEND SIDED WITH A BLEND OF THE 12Z ECMWF AND
00Z GFS MOS.  THE CLOUD COVER AND RAIN COULD VERY WELL HOLD
HIGHS DOWN INTO THE 70S AND POSSIBLY EVEN LOWER THAN I HAVE
FORECAST.

THE RAIN SHOULD BE ON ITS WAY OUT SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
AND THE CLOUDS WILL LINGER LONGER THAN THE RAIN BUT WILL BE
ON THEIR WAY OUT SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT.  A
MODERATING TREND IN TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
