AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
231 PM CDT MON JUN 20 2011

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN: SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT.

TONIGHT:
STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
AHEAD OF DRYLINE WITH MLCAPES OF 2,500-4,000 J/KG. PACIFIC FRONT
SHOULD BE CATCHING UP TO THE DRYLINE ALONG THE I-135 CORRIDOR
TOWARD 4PM-5PM. MID-LEVEL COOLING CATCHING UP TO THE FRONT/DRYLINE
AND DECENT THETA-E CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY SHOULD PROMOTE
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON THE DRYLINE/FRONT.
STRENGTHENING DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE MAINLY PARALLEL TO THE
FRONT WITH A SLIGHTLY GREATER ANGLE NEAR THE OKLAHOMA BORDER.
THEREFORE WE EXPECT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN AN AXIS
ROUGHLY ALONG OR JUST EAST OF I-135 BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH THIS
STORM ACTIVITY EVENTUALLY CONGEALING INTO A BROKEN-SOLID QUASI-
LINEAR BAND...TRANSLATING SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE FLINT HILLS
AND SOUTHEAST KS THIS EVENING. VERY LARGE HAIL AND SIGNIFICANT
WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM THIS BAND
OF STORMS. LOW-LEVEL WINDS BACK TO SOUTHEASTERLY EARLY THIS
EVENING IN SOUTHEAST KS AS LCL HEIGHTS LOWER...SO THERE WILL BE AT
LEAST A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO THERE. THE BULK OF THE
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM SHOULD SHIFT EASTWARD OUT OF
SOUTHEASTERN KS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE 850 FLOW/MOISTURE TRANSPORT
VEERS OUT. CURRENT WIND ADVISORY REASONABLE WITH LITTLE ADJUSTMENT
NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

TUESDAY-THURSDAY:
THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE UPPER
MIDWEST TO THE GREAT LAKES DURING THIS PERIOD. THERE WILL BE A
LINGERING SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES OUT TUESDAY EVENING...AND IN THE
WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE AREA OVER OUR NORTHWESTERN-MOST COUNTIES.
OTHERWISE...LINGERING GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
BEHIND THE DEPARTING STRONG STORM SYSTEM. A RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED DURING THIS 3 DAY PERIOD.

FRIDAY-MONDAY:
UPPER RIDGING WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER STATES INTO THIS
WEEKEND...WITH THE FASTER WESTERLIES ALOFT OVER THE NORTHERN STATES.
THIS WILL LEAVE OUR AREA IN A MAINLY WEAK ZONAL FLOW ALOFT PATTERN
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR WEAK EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES. THE RESULTANT LEE
TROUGHING WILL DRAW LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY NORTHWARD INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS. AT LEAST LOW THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RETURN TO
THE FORECAST INTO THIS WEEKEND...WITH RELATIVELY HIGHER
PROBABILITIES IN OUR NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES GIVEN THE NW-SE ORIENTED
MID-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE.

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM REMAINS CONVECTION. DRYLINE HAS MADE IT TO
K9K7 TO P28. WINDS AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE ARE 18030G40KTS...WEST OF
IT THEY ARE 24020G30KTS.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE DRYLINE BETWEEN
21Z AND 22Z. THIS WILL AFFECT KCNU LATER THIS EVENING BY 6 TO 8
PM. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WHETHER KICT...KHUT...AND
KSLN WILL GET INTO ANY OF THE ACTIVITY. LOOKS LIKE NOW THEY MAY
DEVELOP JUST ALONG OR EAST OF THOSE SITES.

THE STORMS SHOULD EXIT KANSAS BY 5Z. WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT.

CIGS SHOULD BE VFR EXCEPT IN THE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
