Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 1:51 PM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
151 PM CDT THU JUN 27 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 PM CDT THU JUN 27 2013

STRONG TO EXTREME INSTABILITY WILL RESIDE AHEAD OF THE
SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT AND MESO/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WHICH WILL
DRIFT SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THE MOST
INTENSE ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN WITH IMPACT DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID-EVENING. THE IMPETUS INTO THE
LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WILL HINGE ON POTENTIAL COLD POOL
AND MESOSCALE OUTFLOWS...WHICH COULD DRIVE MOST OF THE
CONVECTION SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
THE ELEVATED SEVERE RISK FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND DESTRUCTIVE
WINDS GUSTS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THE SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND IS STILL ON TRACK AS WE GO
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A MEAN NORTHERLY FLOW REGIME
BETWEEN THE AMPLIFIED WESTERN CONUS RIDGE AND EASTERN TROF.
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING TEMPERATURE TRENDS...SHOWING BELOW
CLIMO TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 PM CDT THU JUN 27 2013

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW CLIMO THROUGH MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK AS THE EASTERN CONUS UPPER TROF RETROGRADES WEST
ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND PORTION OF THE PLAINS. THIS MAY ALSO
LEAD TO MODEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION BY MID-WEEK.

DARMOFAL

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CDT THU JUN 27 2013

THE MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CONCERNS ARE THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AT ALL TERMINALS.

UNTIL CONVECTION DEVELOPS...TERMINALS WILL REMAIN VFR WITH
RELATIVELY LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS. AS THE SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO
MOVE SOUTHEAST...CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND IT IS
EXPECTED TO FORM NORTHEAST OF KRSL AND MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS. CURRENT THINKING IS TIMING WILL BEGIN AT 20-21Z FOR
KRSL AND MOVE SOUTHEAST TO KCNU BY 00Z FOR MAIN LINE. THERE MAYBE
SOME GIVE AND TAKE WITH THAT TIMING...BUT THE LATEST HIGH
RESOLUTION GUIDANCE...HRRR/RAP HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT FOR THE LAST
FEW RUNS WITH THAT TIMING.

DURING THE CONVECTION HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH LARGE HAIL
AND STRONG WINDS. GUSTS OF 60MPH OR GREATER ARE POSSIBLE. HEAVY
RAIN WILL CAUSE VISIBILITIES TO BE REDUCED AND CEILINGS TO DROP.
HAVE INCLUDED A TEMP GROUP FOR MODERATE THUNDERSTORMS DROPPING
INTO MVFR...BUT COULD SEE IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN THE HEAVIEST
OF STORMS...AT LEAST BRIEFLY.

AFTER THE STORMS PASS...BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WINDS WILL BE NORTH
TO NORTHEASTERLY WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
