.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 237 PM CDT TUE SEP 4 2012/

DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT:
CURRENT SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER SOUTHERN KS IS
CONTINUING TO DECAY. THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPED ALONG A WEAK
CONFLUENCE ZONE ALONG AN AXIS OF HIGHER PRECIPITABLE
WATERS...AIDED BY FAVORABLE LOCATION OF JET STREAK ANCHORED OVER
NORTHERN KS. FOR THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THINKING SCATTERED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS MAINLY
SOUTHERN KS...IN RESPONSE TO WEAK MID/UPPER ENERGY CURRENTLY
APPROACHING FROM SOUTHEAST COLORADO...IN ADDITION TO THE
PERSISTENT JET ENERGY OVER NORTHERN KS. ADDITIONALLY...THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS ALONG LEE
TROUGH COULD HOLD TOGETHER THROUGH THE EVENING DUE TO
STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET AND AFFECT CENTRAL KS THIS
EVENING/OVERNIGHT. ALL-IN-ALL...NOT ANTICIPATING SEVERE WEATHER
DUE TO LACK OF INSTABILITY...ALTHOUGH INVERTED-V SOUNDING PROFILES
MAY PROMOTE GUSTY WINDS WITH ANY ACTIVITY THAT CAN GET INTO
CENTRAL KS THIS EVENING.

DUE TO CLOUDS/RAIN...CANCELLED HEAT ADVISORY TODAY OVER A GOOD CHUNK
OF SOUTHERN KS...ALTHOUGH WILL HOLD ONTO IT OVER FAR SOUTHEAST KS
UNTIL 8 PM.

-KLEINSASSER

WEDNESDAY-WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WHICH WILL RESULT IN A COLD FRONT PUSHING
SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA DURING WEDNESDAY. THE BOUNDARY
LOOKS TO STALL FROM OKLAHOMA INTO THE TX/OK PANHANDLES LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH PUSHING SOUTHEAST OUT
OF SOUTHWESTERN CANADA. WILL MAINTAIN SOME LOW PROBABILITIES
(20-30%) OF THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WEDNESDAY IN SOUTH
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS. VERY MODEST CHANCE OF STORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES...WITH POSSIBLE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY
RETURN NORTH OF STALLED FRONT. COOLER AIR EXPECTED IN CENTRAL KS
BEHIND FRONT WEDNESDAY...WHILE THE HEAT CONTINUES IN THE SOUTHEAST.
PROJECTED APPARENT TEMPERATURES LOOK TO APPROACH BUT NOT REACH HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY NIGHT:
A GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING MID-UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES...ACROSS THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE
PERIOD. TEMPERATURES LOOK NEAR NORMAL THURSDAY WITH WEAK SOUTHERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL PUSH QUICKLY
THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA FRIDAY WITH SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AIR
INFILTRATING THE AREA BEHIND IT. MOISTURE/INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED
TO RETURN AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
ARRIVING BY FRIDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A DECENT CHANCE (40-70%) OF
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

SATURDAY-TUESDAY:
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY...WITH CLEAR SKIES AND COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THIS
SHOULD MAKE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND FOR THOSE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS.
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RETURN MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH LEE TROUGHING
BECOMING ESTABLISHED. STILL EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH
TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING TO AROUND SEASONAL AVERAGES.
