Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 3:34 PM CDT, 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 334 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013 ONGOING CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED AND MOVED INTO THE EASTERN PART OF KANSAS AS OF 2015Z. WATER VAPOR LOOP ENDING AT 1945Z SHOWS A STRENGTHENING OF THE DISTURBANCE THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA. IT WAS LOCATED NEAR WESTERN WYOMING AND CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN GIVEN THE DARKENING ON THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. LEE CYCLOGENESIS UNDERWAY WITH LOW PRESSURE LOCATED IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT IS THROUGH KDDC-KRCP-KCNU- KLNK. THERE IS A SECOND LOW OVER STAFFORD COUNTY KANSAS WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THIS LOW EAST ALONG HIGHWAY 50...THEN EXTENDING INTO SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS. PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THE TYPE HAS BEEN A REAL FRUSTRATION TO ASCERTAIN. THE 22.12Z NAM-WRF HAS A REASONABLE HANDLE ON THE CONDITIONS AND FORECAST AND WAS FOLLOWED TO A DEGREE. THAT SAID...COBB DATA AND AND MODEL SNOW SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR 10 INCHES UP IN SALINA AND RUSSELL. GIVEN ALL THE GUIDANCE...WE ARE ON THE LOW END OF THE AMOUNTS. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF FORCING SUGGESTED...BELIEVE INCREASING THE AMOUNTS IS IN ORDER FOR CENTRAL KANSAS. THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE ADVISORY WILL NO CHANGE AT THIS TIME. GROUND TEMPERATURES AND EXPECTED RATES JUST DO NOT JUSTIFY BRINGING IT FURTHER SOUTH AT THIS TIME. /GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S/ MOREOVER...BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOWS A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN WHETHER WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH CLOUD ICE SOUTH OF THE ADVISORY AREA TO GENERATE A CONSISTENT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION. THIS FURTHER COMPLICATED THE FORECAST SCENARIO...WITH A SMORGASBORD OF PRECIPITATION TYPES OFFERED IN THE FORECAST. ONCE THIS SYSTEM EXITS...RECORD COLD MOVES INTO THE REGION ONCE AGAIN. HAVE ISSUED A FREEZING WARNING/FROST ADVISORY FOR AREAS WITH LOWS BELOW/ABOVE 27 RESPECTIVELY. COOK .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013 HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXIT THE REGION WHILE LEE CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING AN INCREASE OF SURFACE FLOW FROM THE SOUTH THURSDAY. THURSDAY NIGHT...MOISTURE TRANSPORT/NET ADIABATIC ASCENT SHOULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST AREA...LASTING INTO FRIDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH HIGHS BREAKING INTO THE 70S THIS WEEKEND. THE LONGER RANGE LOOKS LIKE A GRADUAL EASING OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPERATURES A BIT CLOSER TO NORMAL...THOUGH STILL MOSTLY ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THAT. COOK && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1250 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013 ANTICIPATING ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS TO WEAKEN AS INSTABILITY WANES. SHOULD SEE BRIEF LULL/IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS/VSBYS...BUT ANTICIPATE CONDITIONS TO GO MVFR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND FRONT. WILL LIKELY GO IFR IN HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER LIFT APPEARS TO WANE DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TUE MORNING...SO ANTICIPATE SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN CONDITIONS. KICT PRECIPITATION TYPE IS QUITE PROBLEMATIC AROUND DAYBREAK...WITH POTENTIAL FOR EITHER LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE AS WELL. WINDS WILL REMAIN QUITE GUSTY FROM THE NORTH DURING ONCE FRONT GOES THROUGH. -HOWERTON && .FIRE WEATHER... ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013 PRECIPITATION IS A CERTAINTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE NEXT WINTER STORM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESIDE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY...THEN SOME RETURN FLOW FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FRIDAY. THIS WIND WILL NOT BE THAT STRONG. ADDITIONALLY...MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND LIFT THURSDAY NIGHT WILL CAUSE SOME PRECIPITATION THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
