AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
657 PM CDT WED JUN 8 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

SHARP STATIONARY FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM JUST SOUTHEAST OF
KSLN...SOUTHWEST TO JUST NORTHWEST OF KHUT...WILL EVENTUALLY SURGE
NORTH LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED SOUTH OF
THE FRONT...WITH NORTHEASTERLY WINDS NORTH OF THE FRONT. THE FRONT
WILL FLIRT WITH KHUT-KSLN OVERNIGHT. FOR THIS EVENING...MAY SEE A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AFFECTING MAINLY KHUT
AND KSLN. DO NOT THINK THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BE WIDESPREAD
GIVEN WEAK TO NIL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND VERY WARM 700MB
TEMPERATURES. THE MAIN THREATS WILL ANY ACTIVITY THIS EVENING WILL
BE LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD END BY 06Z. SHOULD SEE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR ALL SITES EXCEPT KCNU...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY
INTERACTS WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN PLACE.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 337 PM CDT WED JUN 8 2011/

DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW AND TEMPERATURES FOR TOMORROW.

SYNOPSIS:
A TROUGH SITS ALONG THE WESTERN CONUS WITH A BROAD RIDGE OVER THE
EAST COAST.  MOST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS SITS UNDER SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW WITH A FEW DISTURBANCES AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND ITS
INFLECTION POINT.  THE DISTURBANCE THAT MOVED ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS EARLY THIS MORNING HELPED TO DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS
KANSAS.  THIS FRONT AS OF 20Z IS SITUATED FROM JUST WEST OF SALINA
TO SOUTH OF GREAT BEND.  SOUTH OF THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES HAVE
AGAIN SURGED INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS WHILE BEHIND THE FRONT TEMPS ARE
IN THE MORE MODERATE 80S.  A LOW LEVEL CU FIELD IS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE FRONT IN NORTHEASTERN KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT:
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN A POSSIBILITY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.
MAXIMUM HEATING THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
HELP TO INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.  CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
BOUNDARY WILL HELP WEAKEN THE CAP AND WITH 1000-2000 J/KG CAPE NEAR
THE BOUNDARY AND 40-50KT SHEAR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS IS THE LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. THE
HRRR THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING CONVECTION IN
TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS...NEAR THE LOW CENTER IN NORTHWESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND DEVELOPING NORTHEAST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS...AND IN
NORTHEASTERN KANSAS BETWEEN 22-01Z.  THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...BEFORE MOVING EASTWARD
INTO EAST CENTRAL KANSAS AND INTO MISSOURI.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NEAR
MORNING - BETWEEN 06-12Z. THIS TIME THERE IS A WEAK DISTURBANCE
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION...GIVING SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...ALONG
WITH MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE BOUNDARY.  BECAUSE
OF THIS HAVE INCLUDED POPS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THIS
PERIOD.

THURSDAY - SATURDAY:
THE FRONTAL POSITION WILL PIVOT ACROSS THE STATE WITH THE FRONT
RETURNING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON.  TEMPERATURES
WILL AGAIN BE CLOSE TO REACHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS NEAR THE
OKLAHOMA/KANSAS BORDER.  TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE IN
THE MUCH COOLER UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S.  A FEW DISTURBANCES WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE DAY AND
EVENING.  THIS WILL HELP INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS AS CAPE/SHEAR REMAIN
PLENTIFUL...WITH THE ADDITION OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.

THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD FRIDAY...BUT MAKE
LITTLE PROGRESS UNTIL EVENING WHEN IT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS AND OUT OF THE STATE.  PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL
CONTINUE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH THE
INCREASED MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND LOW LEVEL JET.

BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS...LEAVING THE WARM/MOIST AIRMASS ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS.  THIS WILL AID IN THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT...WITH 2000-2500 J/KG CAPE AND 50KTS OF BULK SHEAR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE...AND WITH THE
EXTREMELY CURVED HODOGRAPHS...TORNADOES COULD BE POSSIBLE. IT WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

SUNDAY - WEDNESDAY:
A FEW WAVES CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE EXTENDED
PERIOD OF THE FORECAST...KEEPING LOW CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN
THE MIX.  THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD IN...BUT THE WAVES WILL MOVE
OVER IT...BREAKING IT DOWN BY THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK.  MOST
OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KANSAS WILL STAY SOUTH OF AN APPROACHING
FRONT...KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S FOR THE PERIOD.  THERE
REMAIN SOME SLIGHT DISCREPANCIES WITH HOW THE EXTENDED MODELS HANDLE
THE UPPER WAVES...AND HAVE KEPT SLIGHTS IN THE FORECAST FOR PART OF
MONDAY/TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

BILLINGS

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

CURRENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT A COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED THROUGH
KRSL AND IS SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST. A LINE OF CU HAS
ALSO BEGUN TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BECAUSE OF THE RELATIVE ISOLATION NATURE OF
THE STORM COVERAGE...KEPT TAFS AT A VCTS WITH CB GROUP INSTEAD OF
TSRA. WOULD WANT TO SEE THE RADAR TRENDS TO HELP INCREASE
CONFIDENCE LEVEL BEFORE INSERTING A TSRA GROUP. MODEL DATA SHOWS
THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND BEGIN
TO STALL OUT NEAR KHUT AND KICT LATE TONIGHT. THE BEST AREA TO
RECEIVE PRECIP WILL BE KHUT/KSLN/KICT. TOMORROW THE BOUNDARY WILL
BEGIN TO LIFT BACK NORTH AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAY.
