.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS FOCUS AROUND PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE AREA FINALLY DRYING OUT BY MID-WEEK.
SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MID-WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

OLD OUTFLOW/MESO-LOW CURRENTLY EXTENDING NORTHWEST OUT OF OK MAY
BE A FOCUS FOR A FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER
PREDOMINATELY SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
KS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE STORMS.
HOWEVER...LATEST GUIDANCE AND OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS INDICATES
THIS POTENTIAL MAY HAVE SHIFTED SOUTH INTO NORTH-CENTRAL/NORTHWEST
OK. ADDITIONALLY...SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF MORNING CONVECTION HAS
CLEARED THINGS OUT OVER SOUTHEAST KS. CONSEQUENTLY...IT VERY WELL
MAY BE A DRY REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...LATER TONIGHT INCREASING WARM/MOIST
ADVECTION IN CONCERT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH PLAINS ACTIVITY
ROLLING SOUTHEAST SHOULD RESULT IN SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
INCREASING...MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM GREAT BEND-
WICHITA-COFFEYVILLE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FROM NEAR THE KS/OK BORDER ON SOUTH.
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES CONTINUE FOR TOMORROW...AS A WEAK
UPPER WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF
WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY OVER FAR SOUTHERN KS AND POINTS SOUTH. ALL
PRECIPITATION CHANCES SHOULD COME TO AN END SOMETIME TUESDAY NIGHT.

WITH THE GREATEST THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN NOW SHIFTING
SOUTH OVER FAR SOUTHERN KS AND POINTS SOUTH...THINKING THE POTENTIAL
FOR CONTINUED FLOODING CONCERNS IS DECREASING...WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF FAR SOUTHERN KS (GENERALLY SOUTH OF KINGMAN-WICHITA-CHANUTE).
DESPITE THIS...WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH AS IS THROUGH TUESDAY
FOR NOW...AND LET THE EVENING/NIGHTS SHIFT TRIM WHERE NEEDED.

ADK

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013

OTHERWISE...DEEPENING NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL LIKELY ALLOW THE
REGION TO FINALLY DRY OUT BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND DEFINITELY
WEDNESDAY...CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE ONLY CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ARE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...AS A
SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST...POSSIBLY DRIVING A
COMPLEX SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. OTHERWISE...SEASONABLY COOL
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 80S AND
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S/LOW 60S.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1119 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013

AXIS OF CONVECTION FROM SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS INTO NORTH
CENTRAL OK APPEARS ALIGNED WITH 850 MOIST AXIS. THE MESOSCALE
COMPLEX OF STORMS SHOULD TRANSLATE SLOWLY EASTWARD OVERNIGHT
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS...LIKELY AFFECTING HUT...ICT AND
POSSIBLY CNU TAF SITES. MVFR/IFR VSBY/CIG RESTRICTIONS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED DURING THE EARLY AM HOURS AREA-WIDE DUE TO LIGHT WINDS
AND A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.
