AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
419 AM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 417 AM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

THE COMBINATION OF STRATUS BUILD DOWN EFFECTS AND VERY MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL GIVE WAY TO AREAS OF DENSE FOG THIS
MORNING...MAINLY FOR LOCATIONS WEST OF I-135. OTHERWISE...EXTREMELY
HEAVY RAINFALL FROM TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS WAS ON-GOING OVER
SOUTHEAST KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING...DUE TO STRONG MOISTURE
TRANSPORT OF HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS BEING FOCUSED
UPSTREAM FROM INITIATION POINT. THIS IS A CLASSIC BACK-BUILDING
SIGNAL WHICH TYPICALLY RESULTS IN VERY SIGNIFICANT FLASH
FLOODING...WITH PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS AT HIGH RISK THIS
MORNING. THIS CONVECTION SHOULD GRADUALLY TAPER OFF DURING THE
MORNING HOURS. MEANWHILE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON ALONG ANY RESIDUAL SURFACE BOUNDARY WHERE
CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED AND WITH-IN MOIST UPSLOPE REGIME OVER
NORTHWEST KANSAS. OMINOUS LOOKING SIGNAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AGAIN
TONIGHT AS THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER CENTRAL
KANSAS AND SPREAD SLOWLY EASTWARD OVERNIGHT...AS LOW-LEVEL JET
INCREASES IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING UPPER JET ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. THE VERY MOIST AIRMASS WILL SUPPORT HIGH RAINFALL
RATES AND POSSIBLE RE-NEWED FLOODING...AND SOME SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING COULD OCCUR DUE SATURATED SOILS THEREFORE WE WILL EXPAND
THE FLOOD WATCH IN TIME AND SPACE. ALSO IF THERE IS ENOUGH
CLEARING OF SKIES TODAY THE AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES COULD SOAR INTO
ADVISORY LEVELS. THE UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR
TUESDAY BUT MORE SO FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS MODELS SHOWS YET
ANOTHER OMINOUS HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING SIGNAL...WITH STRONG ISENTROPIC
LIFT OF RICH MOISTURE OVER-RUNNING THE LOW LEVEL FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
THE FLOOD WATCH COULD BE EXTENDED EVEN FURTHER IN TIME BY LATER
SHIFTS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 417 AM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

UNFORTUNATELY THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN PREDICTED BY THE LONG RANGE
MODELS LOOKS TO KEEP THE WEATHER UNSETTLED WITH ADDITIONAL CHANCES
OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR KANSAS...ESPECIALLY FOR THURSDAY AND THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND. THIS WOULD ONLY PROLONG THE EXTREMELY WET
PATTERN AND CAUSE MORE FLOODING FOR SOME OF THE REGION.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1136 PM CDT SUN AUG 4 2013

KANSAS TERMINALS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL AFFECT
SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. A GENERAL
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR IS EXPECTED BY MONDAY AFTERNOON ALL AREAS
WITH RENEWED CONVECTION POSSIBLE LATER MONDAY EVENING.
