.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 PM CDT FRI APR 8 2011/

CORRECTED TO INCLUDE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION...

DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT:
WARM FRONT HAS REDEVELOPED NORTHWARD INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST KS AND WILL LIFT NORTH OF I-70 LATE TONIGHT. A DRYLINE
WILL EXTEND FROM SOUTH CENTRAL KS TO FAR WESTERN OK. STRONG
INSTABILITY (MLCAPE ~3000 J/KG) EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG/S OF WARM
FRONT AND EAST OF DRYLINE INTO EARLY THIS EVE AS GULF MOISTURE
INCREASES VIA SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS. MLCIN WEAKENS LATE THIS
PM/EVE. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER THE TX/OK
PANHANDLES LIFTING NEWD AND THIS FEATURE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS THIS EVE PROVIDING LIFT. ISOLATED-WIDELY
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS MAY INTIATE IN THE WARM SECTOR 22Z-00Z AND
INTO THE EVENING HOURS POSSIBLY AFFECTING S-CNTRL/SERN KS. DEEP
LAYER SHEAR FAIRLY STRONG AT 40-50 KT AND THE CAPE/SHEAR IS
SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELL-TYPE STORMS. THE INCREASED MOISTURE AND
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL LEAD TO A VERY MILD NIGHT TEMPERATURE-WISE WITH
LOWS ABOUT 20 DEGREES OR SO ABOVE NORMAL.

SAT-SUNDAY NIGHT:
PRIMARY CONCERN IS MAJOR! EXTREME FIRE DANGER ON SUN AS INTENSIFYING LOW
PRESSURE MOVES FROM NEBRASKA NE TO ALONG THE IA/MN BORDER. SUCH BEHAVIOR
WILL INDUCE LWR-DECK FLOW TO NOT ONLY INCREASE GREATLY...BUT GRADUALLY
VEER TOWARD THE SW SUN MORNING. SUCH A TRANSITION WILL ADVECT MUCH DRIER
AIR NE ACROSS MOST OF KICT COUNTRY THEREBY RESULTING IN AN EXTREME FIRE
FOR ALL OF CNTRL & SC KS AS WELL FOR GREENWOOD...ELK & CHAUTAUQUA
COUNTIES. AS SUCH FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS BEING ISSUED FOR EACH OF THESE
COUNTIES FROM 12N-9PM. A SECOND CONCERN: STRONG TO SVR TSRA WILL DEVELOP
OVER MUCH OF THE REGION FROM LATE SAT AFTERNOON-LATE SUN AFTERNOON AS A
DEEPENING MID-UPR DECK TROF GRADUALLY DEEPENS WHILE MOVING E ACROSS NRN
ROCKIES. THE FEATURE WILL EJECT A FEW IMPULSES NE ACROSS WRN/CNTRL KS &
AS IT APPROACHES RICHER GULF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE N OVER ERN
HALF OF KS. ALTHOUGH THE GREATEST SVR POTENTIAL SHOULD OCCUR OVER NE KS
& NRN MO SAT AFTERNOON & EVENING A PRONOUNCED AXIS OF HIGHLY UNSTABLE
AIR WILL EXTEND S/SW OVER MUCH OF KICT COUNTRY SAT AFTERNOON. DEEP-LAYER
SPEED & DIRECTIONAL SHEAR QUITE IMPRESSIVE & WILL SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF
A FEW SUPERCELLS LATE SAT AFTERNOON & NIGHT. INITIATION WILL OCCUR CLOSE
TO I-135 SAT AFTERNOON WHERE CLOSEST TO APPROACHING DRY LINE WHICH WILL
OSCILLATE SLIGHTLY SAT NIGHT. AS PRE-FRONTAL TROF PUNCHES E ACROSS CNTRL
& SC KS BEST CHANCES FOR STRONG/SVR TSRA WILL SHIFT E TOWARD SE KS SUN
AFTERNOON AS MID-UPR LOW SURGES E/NE FROM THE ROCKIES ACROSS NRN/CNTRL
PLAINS.

NEXT WEEK:
A NICE START TO THE WORK-WEEK AS DEAMPLIFYING MID-UPR RIDGE SPREADS E
ACROSS CNTRL 1/3 OF U.S. HOWEVER A GRADUALLY DEEPENING MID-LVL TROF WILL
VENTURE E FROM THE ROCKIES TO WRN/CNTRL KS TUE NGT & WED. THE ATTENDANT
SFC LOW WILL VENTURE SE TOWARD THE WRN RED RIVER THEREBY ENABLING GULF
MOISTURE TO RETURN QUICKLY TO CNTRL & ERN KS. AS SUCH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
-TSRA ARE EXPECTED FROM TUE NGT-THU. THERE'S CONSIDERABLE DISPARITY
BETWEEN MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS FROM WED ONWARD WITH RESPECT TO COLD-FRONTAL
BEHAVIOR. AS SUCH CONFIDENCE REMAINS FAIRLY LOW AS TO WHEN TSRA WILL
TRANSITION TO -SHRA. FOR NOW HAVE LEFT MOST ASPECTS OF INHERITED
FORECAST INTACT.

FIRE WEATHER...
SLY WINDS WILL INCREASE NOTICEABLY ON SAT TO BETWEEN 15 AND 25 MPH BUT
INCREASED RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD RESULT IN NO GREATER THAN A VERY
HIGH FIRE DANGER FOR ALL AREAS ON SAT. SUNDAY IS A DIFFERENT MATTER!
WITH SOUTH WINDS GRADUALLY SHIFTING TOWARD THE SW & GREATLY INCREASING
TO BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH...AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER WILL EXIST OVER MOST
AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON & EVENING. THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS ARE PARTS OF SE
KS. AS SUCH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF CNTRL & SC KS
AS WELL AS GREENWOOD...ELK & CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES FROM 12 NOON TIL 9 PM
SUN. ONE IS STRONGLY URGED TO MONITOR THE FORECAST CLOSELY AS THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IS LIKELY TO BE INCREASED TO A RED FLAG WARNING DURING
THESE PERIODS.

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MAIN HAZARDS: THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS EVENING...MVFR VISIBILITIES
IN SOUTHEAST KS EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

STRATUS HAS ERODED NORTHWARD TO ABOUT I-70...AND TRENDS INDICATE
RSL AND SLN WILL BE CLEAR BY 19Z OR SO. WARM FRONT WILL LIFT
NORTHWARD INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KS THIS PM...THEN WILL
LIFT NORTH OF CENTRAL KS BY 12Z SATURDAY. WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO INITIATE OR MOVE NEWD INTO S-CNTRL/SERN
KS THIS EVENING BEFORE MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF AREA LATE TONIGHT.
POSSIBLE SITES AFFECTED INCLUDE HUT/ICT/CNU AND WILL CARRY A VCTS
FOR NOW. FOG CHANCES LOOK MUCH LESSER TONIGHT...HOWEVER MVFR VSBYS
POSSIBLE EARLY SAT AM AT CNU. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP
TOWARD MIDDAY SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON.
