AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
715 PM CDT THU MAY 19 2011

.UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT:
GREATEST SVR POTENTIAL IS SHIFTING N/NE FOCUSING ON NC KS WHERE MLCAPES
OF 500-1000J/KG RESIDE. HOWEVER...SLIGHTLY GREATER MLCAPES ~1,500 J/KG
EXIST OVER WC/CNTRL KS. TRENDS OVER PAST 3 HRS HAS DECREASED SO FOR NOW
WOULD EXPECT TOR #309 TO EXPIRE CLOSE TO SCHEDULE. HAVE REALIGNED POPS
OBVIOUSLY REFLECT MOST RECENT DOPPLER TRENDS WITH GREATEST POPS (50-70%)
SITUATED OVER CNTRL & SC KS (THE LATTER CASE WHERE ANOTHER ROUND OF TSRA
COVERING MOST OF CNTRL/SRN OK WILL SPREADN/NE LATER THIS EVENING. REST
OF FORECAST KEPT INTACT FOR TIME BEING.

&&

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON TSRA POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY OVER CNTRL & SC KS WHERE
TOR #309 REMAINS IN EFFECT TIL 02Z. PER DOPPLER TRENDS +TSRA HAVE
SHIFTED N/NE OVER CNTRL/NC KS & AS SUCH HAVE ASSIGNED "TSRA" TO KRSL &
KSLN FOR 1ST 3-4 HOURS OF FORECAST. EXPECT DRY LINE TO RESIDE W AS NIGHT
PROGRESSES...HOWEVER TSRA SHOULD VENTURE SLOWLY E TOWARD SE KS EARLY FRI
MORNING. CONFIDENCE LACKING AS TO EWD EXTENT OF TSRA AS SUCH "VCTS" IS
ASSIGNED TO KCNU TAF THRU 20/12Z. A 2ND FOCUS IS ON CIGS THAT MAY FLIRT
WITH IFR CATEGORY. SUCH CIGS CERTAINLY TO BE EXPECTED IN VICINITY OF
TSRA WHERE 2-4SM VSBYS ARE LIKELY. LIMITED IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED FOR THE
20/12Z-20/18Z PERIOD AS BROAD...RICH LWR-DECK MOISTURE WILL KEEP MOST
TERMINALS IN NO GREATER THAN MVFR CIG STATUS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 258 PM CDT THU MAY 19 2011/

DISCUSSION...
THE FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL THROUGH FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AN H3 JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF A MID/UPPER TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES WILL HELP TO SHARPEN A DRYLINE OVER THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR
DEEP MOIST CONVECTION/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS WITH
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DRIFT NORTH AND EASTWARD THROUGH THE
NIGHT WITH SUFFICIENT BUOYANCY TO SUPPORT A CONTINUED RISK OF
LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS.

THE MID/UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE LITTLE THROUGH
FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ALONG THE
DRYLINE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING EARLY IN
THE PERIOD GIVEN WEAK CINH LEADING TO A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN CONTINUED LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR
ASCENT/DIFFLUENT MID-UPPER FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL
MAINTAIN MID POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...THE MID/UPPER TROUGH IS PROGGED TO TRANSLATE
EAST-NORTHEAST AND EMERGE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS STATES ON
SATURDAY. LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE IS EXPECTED TO
OVERSPREAD MUCH OF KANSAS LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION...HOWEVER THE GFS/NAM BOTH INDICATE A MODEST AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WEIGHTED IN THE EAST.
WILL MAINTAIN LOW POPS GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...HOWEVER WITH MARGINAL
DEEP LAYER SHEAR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS TO BE LIMITED AT THIS
TIME. ANOTHER SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PROGGED ON SUNDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGS INTO THE SOUTHWEST AND LOW PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE DEEPENS OVER THE HIGH PLAINS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

MONDAY-THURSDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS
EJECT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES. A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY BRINGING A
DRIER/CONTINENTAL AIRMASS TO THE REGION AND DIMINISHING CHANCES FOR
DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO
MODERATE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD AS A MID/UPPER RIDGE RETURNS
TO THE ROCKIES.

MWM

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
WITH SOUTHEAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE HAVE A CLASSIC UPSLOPE
SITUATION. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS RESULTING IN IFR
CONDITIONS AT THE KRSL AND KSLN TAF SITES...THEN MVFR CONDITIONS
ELSWEHERE. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
TO THE WEST A SURFACE DRYLINE IS SETTING UP BETWEEN GREAT BEND AND
DODGE CITY THEN SOUTHWARD ALONG THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER. THIS
WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON. STORMS SHOULD MOVE INTO THE KRSL AND KHUT AREAS BY
2200Z THEN INTO KICT AND KSLN BY 0000Z. A FEW OF THESE STORMS
COULD BE SEVERE UNTIL ABOUT 0300Z. THE AREA OF STORMS WILL MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST AND INTO THE KCNU BY 0400Z. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
DIMINISH IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH IFR
CONDITIONS REFORMING OVER MOST OF THE AREA AFTER 0900Z.
