Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 5:57 PM CST, 2 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
557 PM CST SUN FEB 27 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
POSSIBLY SOME SNOW OR FREEZING PRECIP BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW.

A STATIONARY/WARM FRONT IS EXTENDING ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS AND IS
THE FOCUS FOR STORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.  THUNDERSTORMS ARE
IMPACTING AND WILL CONTINUE TO THREATEN KICT...HUT AND KCNU INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. SOME SMALL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE
STORMS. DUE TO THE WARM FRONT WINDS VARY WITH ALL SITES BUT KCNU
SEEING NORTHERLY WINDS...WITH KCNU SEEING SOUTHERLY WINDS. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE ALONG THE KANSAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER AND WINDS
WILL SWITCH AT KCNU. AS THE LOW MOVES INTO MISSOURI...PRECIPITATION
WILL TRANSITION TO SNOW AND END BY 12Z ACROSS THE AREA. IFR
CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY LIFT TO MVFR OVERNIGHT.

SKIES WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY MONDAY.
AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN.

BILLINGS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CST SUN FEB 27 2011/

DISCUSSION...
THE PRIMARY CONCERN THROUGH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS WILL BE THE ONGOING
SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. AFTER THE INITIAL ROUND OF ELEVATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL LIFTS INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
KANSAS, ANOTHER ROUND OF DEEP MOIST CONVECTION BEGINNING TO DEVELOP
OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE EAST/NORTHEAST
IMPACTING SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR LOCATIONS NORTH OF
THE WARM FRONT THROUGH MID-EVENING WHILE A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT.

A RAPID TRANSITION TO SNOW IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS AS A TRANSIENT AREA OF COUPLED FORCING SWEEPS ACROSS
THE AREA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE MID/UPPER TROUGH. DUE TO THE
TRANSIENT NATURE OF THE MORE ORGANIZED FN CONVERGENCE, ONLY A
DUSTING TO AROUND 1 INCH OF ACCUMULATION IS ANTICIPATED BEFORE
STRONG LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE ARRIVES TOWARD MORNING
BRINGING A RAPID DEMISE TO THE PRECIPITATION.

MON-WED...RISING TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ON TAP
FOR MON-TUE BEFORE A COLD FRONT ARRIVES ON WEDNESDAY. MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES ON TUE ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 60S WITH MORE
SEASONABLE HIGHS EXPECTED BY MID-WEEK.

THURSDAY-SUNDAY...A FAIRLY LOW AMPLITUDE MID-UPPER FLOW REGIME IS
PROGGED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CONUS ON THU WITH INDICATIONS OF
FALLING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES/SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES
ON FRIDAY. MAINTAINED MID POPS FRI-EARLY SAT UNTIL THE CENTRAL
PLAINS STATE COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING LAT
SAT-SUN LEADING TO DRY WEATHER AND RISING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEKEND.

MCGUIRE

FIRE WEATHER...
RECENT PRECIPITATION WILL RESULT IN MINIMAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK.

MCGUIRE

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

MESSY FORECAST WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ALONG OF NORTH OF A WARM
FRONT TODAY. WILL SEE A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON BY
AROUND 21Z/SUN AS THE LOW PRESSURE AREA APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KS...WITH MIXING IN THE LOW LAYERS INCREASING
SOME.

EXTREMELY TOUGH CALL ON WHERE TO PUT THE WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON
LIKELY IN THE VICINITY OF KICT THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL LIKELY
PLAY INTO AMOUNT OF RAIN SHOWERS VS THUNDERSTORMS AND CEILINGS. A
FURTHER NORTH POSITION...MIGHT ALLOW SOME BRIEF CLEARING AT KICT
LATE AFTERNOON BEHIND DRYLINE. GUSTY WINDS AND MVFR...PSBLY IFR
CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT AS COLD AIR ADVECTION SPREADS
ACROSS THE AREA. COULD ALSO SEE A BURST OF LIGHT SNOW MOVE ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA AS WELL...REACHING KRSL/KSLN BY AROUND 03Z/MON AND
POSSIBLY BY 06Z/MON IN KHUT AND KICT.  THIS SNOW WILL BE SHORT
LIVED...BUT COULD DROP CEILINGS TO NEAR IFR FOR A FEW HOURS
OVERNIGHT.
