AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
630 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011

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

COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN WITH ONE BOUNDARY EVIDENT IN CUMULUS
FIELD NORTH OF KRSL/KSLN AND THE OTHER JUST SOUTH OF OK BORDER.
CURRENTLY HAVE ONGOING RAIN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AROUND KCNU AND
SUSPECT THOSE COULD FESTER FOR A FEW MORE HOURS. ALSO SUSPECT
CHANCES FOR STORMS ARE HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION VCTS AT KRSL/KSLN...
FOR STORMS CURRENTLY OVER NORTHWEST KS WORKING THEIR WAY DOWN THE
SAGGING BOUNDARY THIS EVENING. MODELS SUGGEST THAT PRECIPITATION
SHOULD WEAKEN LATER THIS EVENING WITH PASSAGE OF SHORTWAVE...SO
HAVE NIXED ANY MENTION OF PRECIPITATION AT KHUT/KICT FOR NOW. WITH
FRONT SLOW TO MOVE SOUTH...MAY SEE LOW CLOUDS DEVELOP AT KCNU LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY TUE MORNING. NOT OVERLY OPTIMISTIC...WITH BETTER
CHANCES SOUTH...BUT WILL MAINTAIN SCATTERED MVFR DECK FOR NOW.
OTHERWISE WEAK NE FLOW SHOULD BE THE RULE AT ALL SITES TOMORROW.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 256 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011/

DISCUSSION...

MAIN CONCERNS: THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.

TONIGHT-THURSDAY...
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS MADE IT INTO NORTHERN OK/SOUTHERN MO
THIS AFTERNOON. MAIN SYNOPTIC FRONT EXTENDED FROM NORTHERN KS INTO
IOWA. CONVECTIVE PROSPECTS LOOK HIGHER ON THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY
GIVEN BETTER INSTABILITY AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE. WILL MAINTAIN
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES IN FAR SOUTHEAST KS NEAR THE OKLAHOMA
BORDER...TAPERING QUICKLY TO SLIGHT CHANCE IN CENTRAL KS. SEVERE
CHANCES NOW APPEAR BEST JUST TO OUR SOUTH ALONG/SOUTH OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY IN OKLAHOMA. TUESDAY LOOKS PLEASANT WITH SUNSHINE AND
NORTHEAST WINDS BEHIND FRONT...AND NEAR NORMAL HIGHS. SHORTWAVE
ENERGY OVER THE PACIFIC NW LOOKS TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS
NEBRASKA/KANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY. UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD INITATE
SEVERE STORMS TO OUR NORTHWEST OVER THE HIGH PLAINS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVE. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY
WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE AS THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES
INTO A HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS. THEREFORE STORM ACTIVITY TO
OUR NW SHOULD EVOLVE INTO ONE OR MORE EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD MOVING
MCS'S THAT SHOULD AFFECT AT LEAST PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES TUES NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS WHERE MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY
COOLER. CLOUDS/RAIN/EAST WINDS WILL LEAD TO BELOW NORMAL HIGHS
WEDNESDAY...FIRST TIME SINCE MID-LATE JUNE. AT LEAST SMALL CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY GIVEN WEAK
DISTURBANCES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT.

FRIDAY-MONDAY:
A FAIRLY STRONG SHORTWAVE TROF WILL MOVE FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS
EARLY FRIDAY INTO THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY. THIS WILL
DRIVE ANOTHER COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD THROUGH OUR AREA LATE
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO A MOIST/UNSTABLE
AIRMASS. AFTER NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS ON
FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL COOL DOWN SOME TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
READINGS OVER THE WEEKEND.

JMC

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
LINGERING SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS EASTERN
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. MAIN SURFACE FRONT IS STILL NORTH OF THE
REGION IN NEBRASKA...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS MORNING
ACTIVITY PUSHING SOUTHWARD INTO OKLAHOMA. EXPECTING STORMS TO
DEVELOP ALONG BOTH FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. BEST
CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS ON TUESDAY
WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
