AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
315 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2011

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE ISOLATED STORM CHANCES TODAY...WITH BETTER
CHANCES IN ERN SECTIONS ON TUE. THEN MAINLY TEMPS LATER IN THE
WEEK.

THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT:
WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS OVER SW KS AT THIS TIME...WITH A
WEAK COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS CEN KS. MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA REMAINS UNDER A WARM AIRMASS ALOFT...WHICH IS KEEPING
THE AREA CAPPED. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE INTO THIS
EVENING...WITH THIS WARM AIR CAP KEEPING CONVECTION CHANCES AT A
MINIMUM OR NEAR NIL THIS EVENING.  FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO SHOW SOME
WEAKENING OF THE CAP BETWEEN 22-02Z NEAR KICT/KHUT BUT LACK OF GOOD
CONVERGENCE SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT NOTHING MORE THAN AN ISOLATED
STORM IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. IF A STORM CAN GET GOING...THINK AN
ISOLATED SVR STORM CHANCE EXISTS...AS AIRMASS BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE
ALONG OR JUST BEHIND THE BOUNDARY ACROSS CEN KS. BULK SHEAR ALSO
SUGGESTS A POSSIBLE MULTICELL TYPE STORM...WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE
MAIN THREAT...GIVEN THE INVERTED-V SOUNDING.  BETTER CHANCE OF
STORMS LOOKS TO REMAIN JUST TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA IN
NORTHEAST KS...WHERE AIRMASS IS VERY UNSTABLE...AND CAP WILL BE
WEAKER.

DO NOT THINK ANYTHING THAT CAN DEVELOP WILL LAST MUCH AFTER
SUNSET...AS HEATING OF THE DAY ENDS WITH LOW LEVEL JET VEERING INTO
NE KS HELPING A COMPLEX OF STORMS FORM IN THIS AREA.

FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT MOVEMENT OF THE
COLD FRONT IN CEN KS...AND WHETHER IT WILL MAKE ANY PROGRESS INTO
SOUTH CEN KS LATE THIS EVE OR OVERNIGHT. NAM/WRF IS THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE IN PUSHING THE BOUNDARY INTO SRN KS...WHILE THE GFS/ECMWF
KEEP IT IN CEN KS UNTIL EARLY ON TUE.  NOT SEEING ALOT OF PRESSURE
FALLS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...SO PREFER THE SLOWER GFS/ECMWF FOR
FRONTAL MOVEMENT...DELAYING ITS SRN PROGRESSION UNTIL EARLY ON TUE.

TUE-WED:
PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO BE PROBLEMATIC FOR TUE.
WITH SLOWER GFS/ECMWF IN MIND...THIS WOULD PUT THE BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE AFTERNOON
HOURS ON TUE. WARM AIR ALOFT WILL AGAIN KEEP MOST CONVECTION AT BEY
UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MAIN DIFFERENCE ON
TUE WILL BE AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE...WHICH WILL HELP
WEAKEN THE CAP ENOUGH FOR CONVECTION TO TAP INTO A VERY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS EXPECTED TO POOL JUST ALONG OR AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH
BULK SHEAR AROUND 40KTS AMPLE ENOUGH FOR A SVR THREAT. THINK
THIS CONVECTION CHANCE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN TONIGHT
WITH THE GREATEST AREA OF CONCERN EAST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE.

CONVECTION ON TUE NIGHT AND COLD POOLS FROM THE CONVECTION WILL
HELP PUSH THE BOUNDARY FINALLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS WILL BRING SOME WEAK RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA FOR WED...WITH ANY
CONVECTION CHANCES STAYING TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA...WITH SEASONAL
TEMPS ON TAP.

THU:
THE DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS WARM ADVECTION (WAA)
BRINGS THE BOUNDARY RAPIDLY BACK TO THE NORTH ON THU. THIS WAA WILL
PUSH THE WARM FRONT BACK ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON
THU...WITH A CHANCE OF SOME WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHRA/TSRA.
WILL KEEP A LOW POP IN FOR THIS CHANCE...WITH SEASONAL TEMPS
EXPECTED.

FRI-SUN:
MID LEVEL HEIGHTS LOOK TO GRADUALLY INCREASE INTO THE
WEEKEND...WHICH WILL LEAD TO WEAK RIDING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
ANOTHER WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA LOOKS TO DEVELOP OVER SW KS
AGAIN...WITH THE MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES STAYING TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THE AREA AND NORTHEAST. SO EXPECTING SFC FEATURES SIMILAR TO THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE CHANCES STAYING TO THE NW
AND NE OF THE AREA. COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED CHANCES IN THE
EXTENDED...BUT PLAN ON LEAVING MOST OF THIS TIME FRAME DRY...EXCEPT
FOR SUN...WHEN WEAK RIDGE GRADUALLY BREAKS DOWN.

KETCHAM

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THIS FORECAST IS THE TIMING OF THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE WHICH WENT THROUGH KRSL ABOUT 15Z. WEAK SURFACE
LOW REMAINS IN WESTERN KANSAS AND SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST. THERE ARE MODEL DISCREPANCIES AT WHEN THE FRONT WILL
REACH KSLN AND KHUT WITH CURRENT THOUGHTS TO HAVE THE TRANSITION
TO NORTHERLY WINDS AT KSLN ABOUT 02Z AND KHUT AT ABOUT 6Z.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN EXACT TIMING OF THE FRONT FOR ALL BUT
KRSL WITH IDEA THAT IT MAY NOT BE UNTIL LATER THAN CURRENT
FORECAST. CONTINUAL POSSIBILITIES OF ISOLATED TSRA COULD DEVELOP
ALONG THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR KRSL...KSLN
AND KHUT...HOWEVER REMAINED WITH TREND TO LEAVE OUT BECAUSE OF
ISOLATION. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE LOW COULD
BRING IN SOME MVFR CIGS AND REDUCED VIS FOR CENTRAL KANSAS BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT. DUE TO CURRENT CONSISTENCY BETWEEN MODELS OF
DROPPING CIGS AND VIS...DECIDED TO BRING IN JUST TO KRSL FOR THE
LATE NIGHT INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS.
