AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
258 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2014

A QUICK HITTING SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE NRN ROCKIES WILL MOVE
RAPIDLY E-SE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS INTO THE PLAINS. AS THIS SYSTEM
APPROACHES...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP OVER MOST OF KS
AS CYCLOGENESIS LEADS TO A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA DEVELOPING OVER
SW NE. SHORT TERM MODELS ACTUALLY SHOW THE SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS
INCREASING SOME DURING THE EVENING HOURS...AS THIS SYSTEM DEEPENS
ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER NEAR NW KS. SO EXPECT MINIMUM TEMPERATURES TO
BE A LITTLE ON THE MILD SIDE FOR MID MARCH.

MODELS SUGGEST MAIN SURFACE LOW WILL STAY ACROSS NEB AS MON NIGHT
MOVES INTO TUE MORNING...WITH MOISTURE SOUTH OF THIS SYSTEM ACROSS
KS LACKING. SO EXPECT ANY PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM
TO STAY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA. EXPECT THE
SURFACE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW PRESSURE AREA TO SWEEP
ACROSS THE FORECAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON TUE...WHICH WILL
LEAD TO WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND DRIER AIR MOVING ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. GRADIENT ON THE WEST SIDE OF
SYSTEM COULD LEAD TO WINDS GUSTING AS HIGH AS 40-45 MPH ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA FOR TUE AFTERNOON. SO CURRENT WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS
WEST OF THE KS TURNPIKE LOOKS WARRANTED.  WITH THE DRIER AIR ALSO
MOVING IN...THINK MOST AREAS WILL NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG
WARNING AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALL INTO THE LOW 20S. (SEE FIRE
WEATHER SECTION BELOW).

WED-THU: THE ZONAL TO WEAK NW FLOW LOOKS TO CONTINUE FOR THE END
OF THE WORKWEEK. THIS WILL LEAD TO WEST/SW FLOW REMAINING OVER THE
REGION WITH GOOD DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL WED
TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THU. EXPECT THU TO BE WARMER....AS A WEAK
SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS...WITH A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY PUSHING SOUTH INTO NW KS. THIS WILL LEAD TO GOOD
COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT FOR THU...SO WILL TWEAK
MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES WITH THIS IN MIND.

KETCHAM

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2014

EXPECT THIS FRONT TO GRADUALLY MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR
FRI. NOT ALOT OF MOISTURE FOR THIS BOUNDARY TO WORK WITH AS IT MOVES
ACROSS...WITH MAINLY A WIND SHIFT AND GUSTY WINDS AGAIN BEHIND IT.
THIS MAY AGAIN LEAD TO MORE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR FRI AFTERNOON.

SAT-SUN: AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON FRI...EXPECT COOLER AIR
TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR SAT...WITH COLD ADVECTION ACROSS MOST OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL GENERALLY PUSH TEMPS BACK DOWN
TOWARDS CLIMO NORMALS FOR THE WEEKEND. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW
FLOW GOING FROM ZONAL TO MORE OF A NW FLOW FOR THE END OF THE
WEEKEND. THIS SHOULD KEEP ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER MAKERS WELL TO
THE SOUTH OF THE AREA...AS A CANADIAN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN.

KETCHAM

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1157 AM CDT MON MAR 17 2014

MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY WINDS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

STEEPENING LEE TROUGH WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
GUSTING TO 30-35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL
KS THIS PM/EVE....WITH SLIGHTLY LESSER GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS AT CNU.
A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH
CENTRAL KS TUESDAY MORNING SWITCHING WINDS TO NORTHWESTERLY
GUSTING TO 30-35 KNOTS. STRONG/GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AREA-WIDE. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL.

JMC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2014

GUSTY WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS AHEAD OF A SURFACE TROUGH IN EXTREME
NW KS WILL LEAD TO EXTREME GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER VALUES FOR THE REST
OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

THE SURFACE TROUGH OR DRY LINE WILL RAPIDLY MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA ON TUE...SHIFTING SURFACE WINDS AROUND TO THE WEST...WITH WIND
GUSTS TO 40 T0 45 MPH ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS TROUGH. SURFACE
DEWPOINTS WILL DROP INTO THE LOW 20S BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH WILL
PRODUCE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS IN THE 20-25 PERCENT RANGE. THIS
COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS/DRY CONDITIONS AND CURED GRASSLANDS WILL
LEAD TO EXTREME GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER VALUES ACROSS MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA ON TUE. SO A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL
OF CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KS.

OUTDOOR BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED EITHER LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR TUE
AFTERNOON.
