AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
318 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION THIS
WEEKEND.

TODAY AND TONIGHT:
SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDED ACROSS SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
ALONG AND NEAR A COFFEYVILLE TO WICHITA LINE THEN SOUTHWARD INTO
NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. DECENT ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WITH
SCATTERED CONVECTION ON-GOING. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD WANE THIS
MORNING THEN REDEVELOP IN CENTRAL KANSAS BY EARLY
AFTERNOON...SPREADING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON...THEN INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS DURING THE EVENING. CAN NOT
RULE OUT THAT LIKE TODAY ANY STORMS THAT DUE DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
AND INTO THIS EVENING COME BECOME SEVERE WITH HAIL AND STRONG WINDS
THE MAIN THREAT ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. CONVECTION SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO JUST SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY MIDNIGHT.

SUNDAY:
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE
AREA IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. TO THE WEST AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL
CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN AREA. THIS SHOULD
SETUP A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER EASTERN COLORADO. WILL SEE
A FAIRLY DESCENT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER OUR AREA RESULTING IN BRISK
SOUTH WINDS. SHOULD STAY DRY DURING THE DAY BUT A DRYLINE IS
EXPECTED TO TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY EVENING MAINLY
ALONG AND EAST OF THE TURNPIKE.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY:
MONDAY WILL BE NEARLY A CARBON COPY OF SUNDAY. AS THE UPPER TROF
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SHOULD
BISECT CENTRAL KANSAS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
WILL AGAIN FIRE ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS WITH HOT TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN. THE TROF AND BOUNDARY WILL
SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR LATE IN THE DAY ALONG THE
COLD FRONT AS IT PUSHES EAST.

THIS WAVE WILL HELP PUSH THE COLD FRONT OUT OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY
EVENING.  THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ALONG THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE DAY TUESDAY...AND THE COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AND POSSIBLE
CLOUD COVER WILL AID IN KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN THE COOLER 80S.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY:
BY WEDNESDAY THE FRONT WILL BE WELL EAST OF THE AREA...AND FEEL ANY
POTENTIAL WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA AS
WELL. AM EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN
THE 80S. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ANOTHER BOUNDARY SETTING UP
THURSDAY NEAR THE OKLAHOMA/KANSAS BORDER AND COULD BE THE FOCUS OF
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS
FEATURE IS LOW...HAVE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCES IN.

.AVIATION...06Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MOIST UNSTABLE AIR-MASS COMBINED WITH MID-LEVEL LIFT MAINTAINING
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL NORTH OF A COFFEYVILLE-WICHITA-
KINGMAN LINE. THE COMPLEX OF ENHANCED CONVECTION THAT EXTENDED
FROM NEAR NEWTON TO EMPORIA SHOULD MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT
AND BE INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI BY 12Z. REMAINDER OF THE SCATTERED
CONVECTION THOUGH WESTERN INTO CENTRAL KANSAS SHOULD WANE BY 15Z
WITH REDEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS 18-21Z...SPREADING
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY 00Z.
