AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 632 AM CDT THU MAY 13 2010 .AVIATION...12Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU WILL SEE SOME IFR/MVFR CEILINGS AND VCTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST KS NEAR THE KCNU TAF SITE AS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSRA CONTINUE ALONG AN ELEVATED BAROCLINIC ZONE. EXPECT THIS AREA OF SHOWERS/VCTS TO SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST BY AROUND 17Z/THU. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER TROF SHOULD ALLOW FOR CLEARING FROM NW-SE ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH KCNU CLEARING OUT LAST. KETCHAM && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 315 AM CDT THU MAY 13 2010/ DISCUSSION... FORECAST CONCERNS: TIMING THE END OF T-STORMS CHANCES IN SERN KS TODAY. THEN ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR RAIN/T-STORMS THIS WEEKEND. TODAY-FRIDAY: SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS JUST PUSHED OUT OF EXTREME SERN KS EARLY THIS MORNING RESULTING IN A DIMINISHED THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. DECENT ELEVATED INSTABILITY/SHEAR WILL PERSIST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH THE 850 BOUNDARY STILL LINGERING BACK IN S-CNTRL KS. THIS WILL SUPPORT ADDITIONAL T-STORM ACTIVITY THIS MORNING OVER THE FLINT HILLS/SERN KS. THE STRONG PV ANOMALY LIFTING NEWD ACROSS WRN KS...HELPING TO SPARK THE STORMS ALONG THE FRONT...WILL BE NORTH OF KS THIS PM. THEREFORE...EXPECTING CHANCES OF RAIN/THUNDER TO DIMINISH CONSIDERBALY IN THE SERN COUNTIES. THE 850 FRONT IS PROGGED BY THE NAM AND GFS TO MOVE JUST SEWD OUT OF FAR SERN KS LATER TONIGHT...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW ANY REMNANT CONVECTION TO END THERE. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND DEPARTING PV ANOMALY TO OUR NORTH...SHOULD ALLOW FOR DECENT CLEARING INTO ALL BUT OUR FAR SERN KS COUNTIES TODAY. OTHERWISE A COOLER THAN NORMAL DAY IS SLATED FOR THE AREA WITH NW WINDS OF 10-20 MPH. WILL KEEP FRIDAY DRY AREAWIDE WITH SOME INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS IN THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE NEXT APPROACHING UPPER TROF IN THE SOUTHWEST. SATURDAY-MONDAY: REMNANT UPPER TROF OVER THE SOUTHWEST IS STILL PROGGED BY THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF TO GRADUALLY LIFT NEWD OUT ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS WEEKEND. OLD FRONTAL ZONE LOOKS TO BE NEAR THE KS/OK BORDER. AN INITIAL ROUND OF ISENTROPIC LIFT/MOISTURE TRANSPORT DEVELOPS NWD ACROSS OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...SUPPORTING A DECENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/T-STORMS LOOK TO CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH THE UPPER TROF LIFTING OUT AND 500 MB TEMPERATURES AROUND MINUS 14 TO MINUS 16 C. THE GFS APPEARS TO SUFFER FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES WITH REGARD TO ITS QPF SAT NGT/SUN IN KS/OK. MODELS STILL KEEP THE GREATER INSTABILITY SOUTH OF KS THIS WEEKEND AND HAVE MUCH LESS SHEAR INDICATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. SO WE'RE NOT EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH A FEW STRONGER STORMS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION GIVEN COOL MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THIS WEEKEND. DRIER WEATHER LOOKS ON TAP FOR MONDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING UPPER TROF AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD REBOUND BACK TO NEAR NORMAL. JMC && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
