AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

...Updated for the 00z TAFs and aviation discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT
TUE AUG 6 2013

The wet weather pattern continues as weak disturbances move around
the periphery of an upper level high centered across Texas. The mid
and lower levels of the atmosphere will be quite moist for this time
of the year with PWAT values over 1.25 inches across western Kansas
through the short term period. Thunderstorms are expected to form
across far western Kansas this afternoon and spread eastward through
the evening. Some of these storms may become severe with large hail
and damaging winds being the main concern. A few other storms could
form across the KS/OK border where a stationary front is located.
Thunderstorm chances continue through midnight with decreasing
coverage during the early morning hours. If storms train over the
same location for an extended period of time, flooding could become
a concern. Clouds will increase this afternoon with mostly cloudy
skies expected overnight. Winds at the surface will generally be
from the east to east southeast which will allow upslope flow to
occur across western Kansas. With mostly cloudy skies overnight,
lows tonight are expected to range from the upper 60s across west
central Kansas to lower 70s across south central Kansas.

Another lull in the action is expected Wednesday morning as the
thunderstorms the night before moves into eastern Kansas. Meanwhile,
a surface cold front is progged to move through Nebraska in the
morning and into northern Kansas by the afternoon. Another round of
thunderstorms are forecasted to form across eastern Colorado in the
afternoon and move into western Kansas. A few of these storms could
also become severe with strong winds and large hail being the main
concern. Once again, if storms train over the same location for an
extended period of time, flooding could become a concern. Winds will
continue to be from the east with the exception of areas behind the
aforementioned front where northeast winds will be observed. Cooler
temperatures are expected tomorrow with highs ranging from the mid
70s across west central Kansas to mid 80s across south central
Kansas.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

Not too much has changed in the extended forecast, except rain
chances have increased in the Thursday time frame.  80% categorical
shower and thunderstorms chances late Wednesday night and early
Thursday morning will taper to 50 to 60 percent likely chances by
Thursday day break, and stay about there through the day Thursday.
a meandering surface front across southwestern Kansas will combine
with an upper level short wave moving east across western Kansas, to
bring more substantial rainfall to southwestern Kansas Thursday.
The upper wave will move into central Kansas late Thursday night,
and precipitation chances will taper even lower into the 40 percent
range Thursday night, and diminish downward to 15 percent by Friday
afternoon.  Once that upper wave is to our east, another will be
tracking from the west, nearly on it's heal.  Saturday will see
scattered 20 to 30 percent rain chances, and low widely scattered
showers and thunderstorm trend will persist into Sunday night.  On
Monday, chance pops will cover most all of our forecast area of
southwestern Kansas, as the larger upper wave will be crossing
then.  Precipitation chances will shift east Monday night and
Tuesday, and felt slight chances were enough for now out in the day
8 time frame.

For temperatures, Thursday will start out "cool" with highs int he
upper 70s across out northern 3/4ths of the forecast area, and in
the lower to mid 80d along the Oklahoma border.  This will mainly be
due to a cold front slipping southward through our area, but also
due to clouds and precipitation being plentiful.  Clouds will be
slow to break up and clear on Friday, so temperatures will respond
to the lower 80s to middle 80s.  A warming trend will ensue through
Sunday, when max temps will rise into the lower to middle 90s.  Max
temps will remain in that 90s range Sunday through Tuesday.

Minimum temperatures will range in the lower to middle 60s from
Thursday through Sunday, then rise a little into the middle 60s to
lower 70s Monday through Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
ISSUED AT 550 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

Tonight will be another night of scattered strong storms moving
through, first from west to east as an upper wave travels through.
Then a cold front will cross from north to south, bringing more
storms. Based on the TSRA trends upstream, I think mvfr cigs and
high end ifr vsbys will be associated with the thunderstorms.
Convection should mainly be between 01z and 05z, followed by ifr
cigs and scattered showers. winds will be southeast at 10g17kt
early, then become light and variable after midnight.
