AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
253 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

IN THE UPPER LEVELS...A TROUGH EXTENDS FROM THE GREAT BASIN INTO THE
DESERT SW WITH THE MAIN PIECE OF ENERGY DIVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GREAT BASIN. THERE ARE SOME MORE MINOR IMPULSES AHEAD OF THE
MEAN TROUGH THAT ARE LIFTING NORTHEAST FROM IA DOWN INTO WESTERN OK.
AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM
CENTRAL IA INTO CENTRAL KS AND THEN INTO WESTERN OK AND MAY PROVIDE
THE FOCUS FOR LATE AFTERNOON STORM DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THU)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

MUCH OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN THIS EVENING WILL BE DICTATED BY WHAT
OCCURS ALONG THE QUASI-STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON.
STILL THINK THE BEST CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL BE EARLY THIS EVENING
OVER MAINLY CENTRAL KS AS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY LIFTS BACK TO THE
WEST. HOWEVER...AT THIS POINT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON HOW WIDESPREAD
THE COVERAGE WILL BE. STILL FEEL THAT AFTER MIDNIGHT THE BETTER
STORM COVERAGE WILL BE GENERALLY NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
OBVIOUSLY ANY STORM THAT GOES UP THIS EVENING WILL HAVE A GOOD
CHANCE TO BECOME SEVERE.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEEPEN OVER WESTERN KS ON WED AS
AN UPPER WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. TO START THE DAY THE
DRYLINE WILL BE OUT NEAR THE KS/CO BORDER BUT WILL MOVE OUT DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THE DRYLINE WILL STAY
WELL WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY. THE BIG QUESTION WILL
BE HOW MUCH ACTIVITY DEVELOPS ALONG THE DRYLINE OVER WESTERN KS. THE
NAM WOULD SUGGEST VERY LIMITED DEVELOPMENT WHILE THE GFS HAS MUCH
BETTER CONVERGENCE. EVEN WITH THE WAVE LIFTING OUT...BOTH THE NAM
AND GFS HAVE MAINTAINED QUITE A BIT OF CAPPING...ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 14. WITH THE DRYLINE STAYING WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA AND CONFIDENCE LOW ON THE AMOUNT OF STORM COVERAGE
ALONG IT...NOT ORALLY IMPRESSED WITH DAYTIME SURFACE CONVECTION ON
WED...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-135. THE BIGGER STORY ACROSS
OUR FORECAST AREA WED MAYBE THE VERY STRONG SOUTH WINDS THAT WILL BE
IN PLACE MOST OF THE DAY. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME GUSTS
APPROACHING 45 MPH OVER CENTRAL KS.

STILL CONFIDENT THAT THE MORE WIDESPREAD STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE FOR
WED NIGHT AS AN MCS DIVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED WITH SEVERE WX POTENTIAL ON
THU...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE KS TURNPIKE. THE WED NIGHT
CONVECTION SHOULD PUSH THE BOUNDARY SOUTHEAST AND ALSO EXPECTING AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TO BE OVER SOUTHERN KS. MORE IMPORTANTLY BOTH THE
GFS AND NAM FINALLY BRING A STRONG UPPER JET OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
KS AND ESPECIALLY OK. THE WEST/NW ORIENTATION OF THIS JET WILL SETUP
A PRIME SHEAR PROFILE FOR SUPERCELLS. IN ADDITION...WITH BACKING LOW
LEVEL WINDS AS SUNSET APPROACHES...TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY STORM THAT CAN REMAIN MORE ISOLATED. THE MAIN AREA OF
CONCERN WOULD BE ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE KS TURNPIKE.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY IN THE SVR WX DEPARTMENT LOOKS TO BE ON TAP FOR
FRI AS THE RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE OVER EASTERN KS.
IN ADDITION...A VERY STRONG JET WILL REMAIN THROUGH ALL OF KS
PROVIDING GREAT SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS. BY SAT AFTERNOON THE FRONT
SHOULD FINALLY PUSH OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA ALLOWING SOME RELIEF
FROM THE MUGGY CONDITIONS. PRECIP WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST
FOR SUN AND MON AS THE UPPER WAVE TRACKS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1234 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

LOW CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO SCATTER OUT THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTY
SOUTH WINDS PERSISTING. STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN
KANSAS AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE EASTWARD
TONIGHT. THIS ACTIVITY COULD AFFECT A FEW TAF SITES IN CENTRAL
KANSAS TONIGHT...BUT COVERAGE IS NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO MENTION
AT ANY SITE AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE SOUTH WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
REALLY INCREASE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP.
