NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 3, 11:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 3, 11:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1139 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012

.UPDATE...

OVERNIGHT:
AN ISOLD +TSRA HAS RAPIDLY DEVELOPED OVER BARBER COUNTY. WITH CELL MOVG
NE25KTS HAVE UPDATED SC KS ALONG & W OF I-135 TO ASSIGN 30-40% POPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1022 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012/

AVIATION...06Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

AVIATION CONCERNS STILL REMAIN SOME MVFR CONDITIONS FOR EARLY FRI
MORNING.

NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TAF ISSUANCE. STILL EXPECTING
VISIBILITIES TO LOWER TO BETWEEN 3-6SM AFTER 09Z. IN ADDITION SOME
MVFR CIGS MAY ALSO CREEP INTO CENTRAL KS. THE MOST LIKELY AREAS FOR
THESE MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE OVER CENTRAL KS WHERE SOME WEAK
SURFACE CONVERGENCE SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME MOISTURE POOLING AND
REDUCED MIXING. CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH THAT STORMS WILL STAY
NORTHEAST OF OUR TAF SITES.

LAWSON

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 916 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012/

UPDATE...

UPDATED TO MAKE SOME TWEAKS TO PRECIP CHANCES.

MAIN REASON FOR THE UPDATE IS TO CONTINUE TO DECREASE STORM CHANCES
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY THE WESTWARD EXTENT. IT APPEARS THAT WARM MID
LEVELS WILL CAUSE STORMS TO REALLY STRUGGLE TO WORK BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST WITH THE BETTER CHANCES REMAINING OVER FAR NORTHEAST KS.
AM RELUCTANT TO PULL POPS ALL TOGETHER GIVEN SOME GOOD ISENTROPIC
LIFT AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT ALONG THE 310K SURFACE. ALSO MADE SOME
MINOR TWEAKS TO CLOUDS...HOURLY TEMPS AND DEW POINTS.

LAWSON

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012/

AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT...MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE SOME MVFR
CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT.

AN EXTREMELY MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA. THE SURFACE FRONT IS SITUATED FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA
INTO WEST-CENTRAL KS. WARM MID LEVEL AIR SHOULD LIMIT STORM CHANCES
OVERNIGHT WITH THE BETTER CHANCES OVER NORTHEAST KS. WITH LOWER
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT...WOULD EXPECT MORE SITES
TO FALL TO BETWEEN 3-6SM LATE TONIGHT WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT
VISIBILITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE IFR LEVELS.

LAWSON

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 243 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGES...CONVECTIVE CHANCES/TRENDS THIS EVENING
AND TONIGHT...THEN AGAIN LATE IN THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THIS EVENING-TONIGHT
SHORT TERM MESO ANALYSIS AND FORECASTS SHOW AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS AT PEAK
HEATING. A REMNANT MESO/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SITUATED ACROSS THIS AREA
AND TRAILING WEST-NORTHWEST TO THE SAGGING SYNOPTIC FRONT/SURFACE
TROF WILL PROVIDE THE FOCI AND LOCAL CONVERGENCE FOR POTENTIAL
CONVECTIVE INITIATION BY EARLY EVENING. ANY POTENTIAL UPDRAFTS
WILL STILL HAVE TO OVERCOME AT LEAST SOME WEAK CAPPING...THOUGH AT
LEAST ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION SEEMS PLAUSIBLE THROUGH THE
EVENING...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST OF THE WICHITA METRO. THE
STRONG INSTABILITY WILL EASILY OFFSET THE MODEST SHEAR FOR SEVERE
STORMS SHOULD CONVECTION DEVELOP. STORM SCALE/BOUNDARY INTERACTION
AND THE NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET MAY ALLOW CONVECTION TO FESTER
INTO A PORTION OF TONIGHT THOUGH A WARMER/VEERING ELEVATED LOW
LEVEL FLOW WILL TEND TO CAP/LESSEN CHANCES OR PUSH THEM INTO
PORTIONS OF EAST-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS TOWARD DAWN FRIDAY.
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING GRIDS NEEDED IN THIS REGARD.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY
WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE SOME CONVECTION COULD LINGER ACROSS SOUTHEAST
KANSAS INTO FRIDAY MORNING WHICH COULD ALSO LAY OUT ANOTHER
MESO/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW ON
FRIDAY...AS THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR THE SYNOPTIC
FRONT/BOUNDARY TO SHIFT NORTH OF THE AREA WITH LACK OF FOCUS AND
WARMER TEMPS ALOFT LIMITING OR SQUELCHING CHANCES FOR THE MOST
PART. WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A PERSISTENCE TYPE FORECAST INTO
SATURDAY...WITH THE WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS
THE AREA WHICH COULD RIVAL SOME RECORD MAXS.

SUNDAY-MONDAY
A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE UPPER TROF LOOKS TO EJECT NORTHEAST WITHIN
THE DEVELOPING WESTERN CONUS LONGWAVE ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL PUSH A
MODERATE STRONG COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS KANSAS. THE TREND HAS BEEN
FOR A SLIGHTLY FASTER MOVEMENT...THOUGH EXPECT ONE MORE RELATIVELY
WARM DAY. WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW INCREASING PRECIP/CONVECTIVE
CHANCES ALONG AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY...MAINLY ALLOWING SOME WIGGLE ROOM IN CASE THE
FRONT SLOWS DOWN FROM RECENT TRENDS.

TUESDAY-THURSDAY
THE ECMWF HAS COME MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS IN SHOWING A RATHER
SIGNIFICANT UPPER TROF DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WHILE A CLOSED
LOW BECOMES CUT-OFF ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND DRIFTS INTO THE BAJA
REGION OF NORTHWEST MEXICO. THIS SUPPORTS NOT ONLY A COOLER BUT
DRIER REGIME...SO WILL OPT TO LOWER OR REMOVE POPS.

DARMOFAL

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
MVFR CIGS HAVE OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE AREA AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
RISE INTO THE 3-5K FT LEVEL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE FLINT HILLS AREA OR ALONG
A DIFFUSE SFC TROUGH AXIS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGH
THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING HOURS BUT PROBABILITIES REMAIN
TOO LOW TO MENTION IN AREA TAFS. LATE NIGHT THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
NEAR THE MISSOURI AND KANSAS STATE LINE MAY IMPACT KCNU AFTER
09Z...BUT ONCE AGAIN BETTER CHANCES APPEAR TO REMAIN EAST OF THE
AREA. THERE IS ALSO SOME CONCERN FOR LOW CIGS RETURNING TO AREAS
ALONG AND EAST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE AFTER 09Z WHICH HAS BEEN
RATHER PERSISTENT THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND TRENDED TAFS TOWARD
THIS SCENARIO.
