AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
606 PM CDT MON MAY 27 2013

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT MON MAY 27 2013

IN THE UPPER LEVELS...CURRENTLY HAVE A BROAD UPPER TROUGH
ENCOMPASSING MOST OF THE WESTERN CONUS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
IMPULSES EMBEDDED IN THIS TROUGH WITH ONE LIFTING OUT OF THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH ADDITIONAL UPPER ENERGY LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT
OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THE HIGH CLOUDS OVER WESTERN KS DENOTES THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE LARGER SCALE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPROACHING WAVE.

AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE IS CONTINUING TO STRENGTHEN BETWEEN
KDDC AND KHLC. A WARM FRONT HAS BEEN REINFORCED BY OUTFLOW FROM THE
STORM COMPLEX THAT TRACKED OVER NORTHEAST KS AND STRETCHES RIGHT
ALONG I-70.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT MON MAY 27 2013

WITH AFTERNOON HEATING THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD START TO WASHOUT
AND SLOWLY LIFT NORTH AND WILL MAKE IT NORTH OF I-70. CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT STORMS SHOULD FIRST DEVELOP NORTH OF THE SURFACE
LOW OVER NW KS IN AN AREA WHERE STRONG CONVERGENCE WILL BE AIDED BY
SOME UPSLOPE FLOW. NOT LONG AFTER ADDITIONAL STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP
NORTHEAST OF THE TRIPLE POINT OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KS.
WHILE FEEL THE MOST WIDESPREAD SEVERE COVERAGE WILL STAY NORTH OF
I-70...ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS WILL ROTATE WHICH WILL ALLOW STORMS
TO TURN RIGHT AND POSSIBLY AFFECT THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST FRINGES OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THE STORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND
OVERNIGHT AS MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT RAMPS
UP. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN AN MCS DIVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHEAST
KS.

A JET MAX LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL PROVIDE SOME OF
THE BEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
IN ADDITION...THE COMBINATION OF BACKED WINDS NORTHEAST OF THE
SURFACE LOW AND THE REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...WILL PROVIDE
IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL SHEAR WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD STORM ROTATION.

BY TUE MORNING THE LARGE AREA OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE TRACKING
OVER NORTHERN MO/SOUTHERN IA WITH A LULL IN ACTIVITY ANTICIPATED FOR
THE FORECAST AREA. THE DRY-LINE IS FORECAST TO SHIFT BACK TO THE WEST
AND WILL BE NEAR THE KS/CO BORDER BY LATE AFTERNOON. FEEL THE "BEST"
CHANCE FOR STORMS TUE AFTERNOON WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOME UPPER
ENERGY LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND INTO OK. THIS MAY
ALLOW A FEW ISO-SCT STORMS TO DEVELOP OVER SE KS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS
VERY LOW WITH THIS OCCURRING. THE MOST WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL
ARRIVE TUE EVENING OVER WESTERN/NW AND CENTRAL KS AS MOISTURE
TRANSPORT IN THE 850-700MB LEVEL RAPIDLY INCREASES. THE NORTH AND NW
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY AFFECTED
BEFORE THIS AREA OF STORMS QUICKLY LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL
NEBRASKA AFTER MIDNIGHT.

BOTH THE NAM AND GFS BRING OUT A MORE IMPRESSIVE MID/UPPER WAVE ON
WED. BIGGEST CONCERN FOR DAYTIME CONVECTION ON WED IS THE LACK OF
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRY-LINE. HOWEVER WITH SOME MID LEVEL
COOLING...FEEL AT LEAST A FEW STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG IT WITH
CENTRAL KS THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR DAYTIME CONVECTION. CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE WIDESPREAD STORMS ON WED NIGHT THAT WILL
AFFECT MOST OF THE AREA. THIS IS DUE TO THE FORECAST AREA BEING
UNDER THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE UPPER JET WHERE UPPER DIFFLUENCE
WILL BE MAXIMIZED.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT MON MAY 27 2013

THE STRONG VORT LOBE IS EXPECTED TO LIFT ACROSS SOUTHEAST KS ON THU
WHICH WILL KEEP STORM CHANCES GOING...ESPECIALLY EAST OF I-135. THIS
WILL ALSO PUSH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SOUTHEAST WHERE IT WILL LIKELY
LINGER FOR FRI. THE MAIN QUESTION FOR FRI-SAT WILL BE HOW FAR
SOUTHEAST THE BOUNDARY MAKES IT WITH STORMS EXPECTED ALONG AND
SOUTHEAST OF IT. RIGHT NOW FEEL THAT SE AND FAR SOUTH CENTRAL KS
WILL HAVE THE BEST SHOT AT STORMS FRI-SAT MORNING AS THE FRONT
SLIDES SOUTH WITH THIS FRONT EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA FOR SUN-MON WHICH WILL FINALLY ALLOW SOME DRIER AIR TO MOVE
BACK IN.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 558 PM CDT MON MAY 27 2013

SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS THRU MIDNIGHT SO WILL INCLUDE TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA AT KRSL
AND VCTS AT KSLN. OTHERWISE WILL CONTINUE THE PERSISTENCE TYPE
FORECAST FOR MVFR CIGS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON TUESDAY MORNING
INTO MIDDAY. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL PERSIST AS WELL...THOUGH THE
COMBINATION OF MESOSCALE OUTFLOW AND SLIGHT EAST PUSH ON DRY-LINE
COULD SWITCH WINDS AT KRSL FOR A TIME EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
