.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 304 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/

DISCUSSION...
THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WHICH REMAINED CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
STATES. A STATIONARY FRONT WAS DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA FROM NEAR KCFV
IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS TO KBVO TO JUST SOUTH OF KPNC IN NORTH CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA. ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT...DEWPOINTS WERE HOLDING IN
THE 70S RESULTING IN SBCAPES EXCEEDING 5000 J/KG. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH MORE WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP TONIGHT ALONG NOSE OF MODEST H7 WAA ACROSS MAINLY CENTRAL
KANSAS. THIS SCENARIO WAS HANDLED WELL IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH
ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE.

THU-SAT...A VERY SIMILAR SETUP IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THU-FRI AS THE STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES TO MEANDER NEAR THE
OKLAHOMA STATE LINE LEADING TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS. FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST KANSAS...TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S/AROUND 100 WILL
COMBINE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S LEADING TO MORE OPPRESSIVE HEAT
INDICES AND A CONTINUATION OF HEAT HEADLINES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.
WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
ONCE AGAIN WITHIN A POST-FRONTAL UPSLOPE REGIME WITH MLCAPES
EXCEEDING 2500 J/KG/0-6KM AND BULK SHEAR OF 30-40 KTS POSSIBLY
SUPPORTING A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG/IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF
THE STATIONARY FRONT. WILL MAINTAIN MID POPS THU NIGHT AS WEAK
SOUTHERLY LLJ NOSES TOWARD THE OK STATE LINE. THE STATIONARY FRONT
IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTH ON SAT RESULTING IN RISING TEMPERATURES
AS THE WARM SECTOR EXPANDS NORTHWARD ONCE AGAIN.

SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY...A SERIES OF CLIPPER-LIKE SYSTEMS WILL DIG OVER
THE GREAT LAKES AREA EARLY IN THE WEEK HELPING TO BREAK DOWN THE
PERSISTENT MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WHILE DRIVING A COLD FRONT SOUTH
ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE TUE-WED
BRINGING RELIEF FROM THE HEAT WITH CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AND HIGHS IN THE 80S ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS.
