Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 6:51 PM CDT, 2 hours 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
651 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011

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

TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE ONGOING CONVECTION IS THE MAIN CONCERN
FOR THIS TAF FORECAST. CURRENT BOUNDARY IS EAST OF THE
TURNPIKE...WITH NORTH WINDS BEHIND IT AND SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF IT.
EXPECT VCTS FOR KCNU TAF WITH A TEMPO FOR TSRA AS THE RADAR IS
SHOWING A SUPERCELL MOVING EASTWARD TOWARDS THE SITE. OTHERWISE
THE REST OF THE SITES SHOULD REMAIN IN VFR OVERNIGHT WITH WINDS
DEVIATING TO THE NE. LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS
UNCERTAIN. BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS TOMORROW A CU FIELD SHOULD
DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA.

DUNTEN

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011/

DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS CONTINUED CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS
THIS EVENING AND SATURDAY...WITH A COOL DOWN IN TEMPERATURES. THEN A
WARM UP BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

SYNOPSIS:
THE DISTURBANCE THAT IMPACTED THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING
HAS MOVED NORTHEAST OF THE AREA...BUT ANOTHER PULSE OF ENERGY IS SET
TO PUSH AROUND THE BASE OF THE BROADER WAVE THIS EVENING AND WILL BE
THE FOCUS FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS.  AT THE SURFACE THE COLD FRONT IS
SITUATED ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.  WIDESPREAD CLOUDS HAVE BEEN
PRESENT NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES DOWN
SOME...ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL KANSAS.  WHERE THE SUN HAS PEEKED
OUT...TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE MID 80S.  SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED INTO THE LOW 90S.

TONIGHT:
A STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST KS GENERALLY
FROM NEAR KWLD TO JUST SOUTH OF KCNU. A MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO POOL ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY...WITH SBCAPES INCREASING INTO 3000-3500 J/KG RANGE...BUT
THIS AREA REMAINS FAIRLY CAPPED. EXPECT CAPPING INVERSION TO
GRADUALLY ERODE AS THE LATE AFTERNOON CONTINUES AS AREA REACHES PEAK
HEATING.

AS THE CAP WEAKENS...WILL PROBABLY SEE SOME CONVECTION REDEVELOP
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING. WITH
BULK SHEAR OF 40-45 KTS AND THIS VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN
PLACE...THINK STORMS WILL RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE WITH A LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT THE MAIN CONCERN. NOT EXPECTING THE STORMS
TO BE AS NUMEROUS AS LAST NIGHT GIVEN THE CAPPING INVERSION...BUT A
COUPLE OF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS LOOK POSSIBLE DUE TO THE DIRECTIONAL
SHEAR...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A KWLD TO KCNU LINE.

EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO REMAIN OVER SOUTHEAST KS AT LEAST UNTIL
06Z/SAT BEFORE BOUNDARY DROPS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH INTO NORTHEAST
KS AS COLD POOL FROM ANY CONVECTION PUSHES THE BOUNDARY INTO OK.

COULD SEE SOME ELEVATED SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE OVER SOUTHEAST KS BUT
MAINLY JUST SOME WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY.  -KETCHAM

SATURDAY - SUNDAY
DURING THE DAY SATURDAY THE FRONT WILL RETURN AS A WARM
FRONT...PUSHING FURTHER NORTH OVER WESTERN KANSAS...WITH
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE.  DURING THE MORNING THERE WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS MOISTURE IS ADVECTED NORTHWARD
OVER THE BOUNDARY.  THERE LOOKS TO BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY DURING THE
AFTERNOON OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BEFORE CHANCES INCREASE AGAIN
FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  WITH PLENTIFUL CAPE AND MODERATE
SHEAR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.  SPEED SHEAR ISN'T
GREAT...BUT THERE IS GOOD DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN THE LOW TO MID
LEVELS.

BY SATURDAY EVENING THERE IS GOOD CONSISTENCY IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE
SHOWING A MCS DEVELOPING OVER NORTHWESTERN KANSAS AND MOVING
SOUTHEAST OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING..AGAIN SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE.

BY SUNDAY THE WARM FRONT WILL PUSH FURTHER NORTH...BRINGING THE
SCORCHING HEAT BACK TO THE REGION.  TEMPERATURES NEAR 100 WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR THE STATE LINE IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AGAIN...WITH
MID TO UPPER 90S SEEN ELSEWHERE. ANY RESIDUAL PRECIPITATION WILL PUSH
NORTHEAST OUT OF THE REGION BY LATE SUNDAY-SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY - FRIDAY:
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION WITH WARM AIR
ADVECTION.  THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES HOT FOR THE WHOLE WEEK.  THE
MODEL DISCREPANCIES WITH WEAK WAVE PULSES KEEP CONFIDENCE VERY LOW
ON ANY PRECIPITATION EARLY IN THE WEEK.  THUS HAVE KEPT THE BEGINNING
OF THE WEEK DRY FOR NOW.

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT OVER THE
PAST DAY REGARDING A WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING INTO THURSDAY.  HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE
TIMING OF THE WAVE AND FOR ANY PERIOD HAVE DROPPED POPS INTO THE
SLIGHT CATEGORY BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY.  OVERALL A FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION SOMETIME MID-WEEK...BUT TIMING WILL LIKELY
CHANGE IN LATER FORECASTS.

BILLINGS

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

TWO AREAS OF CONCERN TODAY..AS NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS
OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KS THIS AFTERNOON. FIRST AREA IS POST
FRONTAL STRATUS SITUATED OVER CEN KS...WITH SOME MVFR CEILINGS OVER
KHUT/KSLN AND KRSL.  EXPECT THIS AREA OF STRATUS TO GRADUALLY BURN
OFF FROM SOUTH TO THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON...CLEAR FIRST NEAR KHUT
AND FINALLY NEAR KSLN AND KRSL AFTER 22-23Z.

NEXT CONCERN WILL BE CHANCE OF WIDELY SCATTERED TSRA OVER SOUTHEAST
KS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT.
THINK CONVECTION WILL STAY MAINLY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE KCNU TAF
SITE...SO WILL ONLY GO WITH A VCTS FOR THIS LOCATION FROM 21Z/FRI TO
06Z/SAT.
