Severe Thunderstorm Warning 160, NWS Wichita, KS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
654 PM CDT TUE JUL 9 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 216 PM CDT TUE JUL 9 2013

THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS PACKAGE WILL BE THE CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.

TONIGHT...
RAIN CHANCES...THE SURFACE COOL FRONT SLOWLY MOVES TO THE SOUTHEAST
OVERNIGHT.  THE GFS AND NAM SOLUTIONS ARE VERY DIFFERENT WITH THE
GENERATION OF PRECIPITATION.  WITH THIS BEING JULY...I WILL OPT FOR
THE DRYER NAM SOLUTION BUT MAY HEDGE JUST A BIT TOWARDS THE GFS.
THE BEST FORCING OVERNIGHT SEEMS TO BE RELEGATED TO A SALINA TO
EUREKA CORRIDOR.  THIS FORCING IS ALOFT AND JUST AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY.  THE SURFACE CONVERGENCE SEEMS LIMITED AT THIS TIME.  SO I
WILL TREND THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TO FOLLOW THIS PVA BULLS
EYE OVERNIGHT. I DID ALSO NOTICE A LITTLE BIT OF ISENTROPIC LIFT
ALONG THIS REGION.

TEMPS...WITH A SLOWER PROGRESSION TO THE SURFACE COOL FRONT...THE
LOWS TONIGHT WILL REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE 70S WITH MUGGY CONDITIONS.  A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A REPRIEVE MAY OCCUR TO THE NORTH OF I70 TOWARDS
MORNING.WILL BE THE HEAT ON TUESDAY AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY...
THE COOL FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DROP SE AND SITUATE ITSELF ALONG
THE KS/OK LINE.  MIGHT BE A BIT TO LATE THOUGH FOR TEMPERATURES...AS
READINGS MAY CREEP INTO THE UPPER 90S OR LOWER 100S BEFORE FROPA.
LATE WEDNESDAY AND OVERNIGHT...MAY POSE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA.  DECENT PVA WILL EXIST ALONG WITH
SOME MINOR ISENTROPIC LIFT.  THE NAM IS PAINTING A PRETTY GOOD BLOB
OF RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THE BEST LOCATION LOOKS TO
BE ALONG A THE SALINA TO INDEPENDENCE TRACK.  I WILL TREND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACCORDINGLY.

THURSDAY...
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS MAY BE AROUND EARLY IN THE MORNING. LATER IN
THE DAY LOOKS TO BE DRY.  THE NICE PART WILL BE THE
TEMPERATURES...AS THEY RETURN TO A MORE SEASONABLE READING IF NOT
JUST BELOW.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY) ISSUED AT 216 PM CDT TUE
JUL 9 2013

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE
EASTERN SECTIONS WHILE A BOUNDARY EXTENDS ALONG THE KS/CO BORDER.
THE GRADIENT PACKS DOWN A BIT TIGHTER AND SSW WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH
START TO ADVECT WARMER TEMPS INTO THE AREA.  HIGHS ON BOTH DAYS WILL
CREEP BACK INTO THE LOWER 100S TO THE WEST OF HIGHWAY 14 WITH MIDDLE
90S ELSEWHERE.

SUNDAY...
THE WARMER TEMPERATURES AT H8 SLIDE BACK TO THE WEST A BIT AND WHICH
WILL KEEP OUR SURFACE TEMPS IN CHECK A BIT AND MORE SEASONAL.  ALL
AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO HOVER AROUND 95...GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE
DEGREES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 644 PM CDT TUE JUL 9 2013

JUST LIKE THE LAST FEW NIGHTS THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE
CONVECTIVE TRENDS.

STORMS DEVELOPED ALONG THE WEAK FRONT THIS AFTERNOON OVER WEST-
CENTRAL KS WITH THIS ACTIVITY TRACKING EAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. THROUGH 06Z...CENTRAL KS(KRSL-KSLN) WILL HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE TO BE IMPACTED BY THESE STORMS. CONFIDENCE IN THE AREAL
COVERAGE OF STORMS DECREASES AFTER 06Z AS THE FRONT SLOWLY WORKS
SOUTH. FOR NOW WILL RUN WITH SOME VCTS AT KHUT AND KICT LATER
TONIGHT. WOULD EXPECT AT LEAST SOME ISO ACTIVITY ALONG THE FRONT
OVER SOUTHERN KS WED AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH LACK OF STRONG
CONVERGENCE OR UPPER SUPPORT...CURRENTLY HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN
HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE.
