AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
708 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

STRONG INSTABILITY EXISTS IN THE WARM/MOIST SECTOR ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH COLD FRONT AND DRY-LINE
JUST OFF TO OUR WEST. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE NEAR
THE TIME OF PEAK HEATING...WITH RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP
CONVECTION DEPICTED BY THE SHORT TERM MODELS IN THE 21-23Z
TIME FRAME. IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT AN
INITIAL SUPERCELL MODE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THOUGH FORCING ALONG THE
EASTWARD MIGRATING COLD FRONT AND FLOW ALOFT MORE PARALLEL TO
THE BOUNDARY SUGGESTS TRANSITION TO A LINEAR MODE AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. THE GREATEST RISK FOR HIGHER END SEVERE WEATHER
INCLUDING VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES SHOULD EXIST LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS WITH ANY
SUPERCELL STORMS AND DURING TRANSITION TO A QUASI-LINEAR
MODE...ESPECIALLY PREFERENTIALLY ON THE SOUTHERN MOST CELLS ALONG
THE FRONT. THE SEVERE RISK SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT AS THE
CONVECTION SHIFTS EAST TOWARD THE TURNPIKE...THOUGH MARGINALLY
SEVERE STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WITH AN INCREASED POTENTIAL
FOR MINOR FLOODING WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT.

MUCH COOLER WEATHER IS STILL ON TAP FOR EARLY THIS WEEK AS THE
MEAN LONGWAVE UPPER TROF SLOWLY MIGRATES EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS
TO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL LINGER ON
MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS THOUGH THE SEVERE RISK LOOKS
MINIMAL WITH PERHAPS JUST A FEW STRONG STORMS BEFORE THE FRONT
EXITS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE ALOFT IN THE BASE OF
THE MEAN LONGWAVE TROF WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS
AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS MAY PROVIDE MAINLY
SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK. SHORTWAVES ALOFT WILL ROTATE SOUTHEAST ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE EASTERN CONUS LONGWAVE ACROSS THE MIDWEST. THIS MAY GIVE
RISE TO SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AS A REINFORCING PUSH OF
COOL AIR AND FRONT PUSHES SOUTH BY THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY.
OTHERWISE IT WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH SOME MODERATION
BY THE WEEKEND.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 707 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE A MAIN CONCERN FOR MOST
OF THE TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT 12-18 HRS.  MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL
INITIALLY BE MOST NUMEROUS NEAR THE KRSL TAF SITE...WITH THE SHOWERS
AND TSRA SPREADING SLOWLY TO THE EAST AS THE LATE EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES.  SO WILL GO WITH PREVAILING TSRA FOR KRSL AND
EVENTUALLY WILL SEE PREVAILING TSRA FOR KSLN/KHUT BY AROUND 02-04Z.
EXPECT THIS AREA OF CONVECTION TO TRAIN TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST AS THE
OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES...AND APPROACH KICT AFTER 06-08Z. WILL
CERTAINLY SEE MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN AND NEAR THE STORMS.

EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST-NW AS THIS LINE OF CONVECTION
PROGRESSES TO THE EAST EARLY ON MON ASA COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...FOR THE KRSL AND KSLN TAF SITES.

EXPECT THE AREA OF CONVECTION TO SHIFT EAST ACROSS KICT AND KCNU
FOR MON MORNING...WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN AND AROUND THE CONVECTION.

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
MEANINGFUL RAINS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS MAY
ALLOW FOR RENEWED GREEN-UP ACROSS DROUGHT STRICKEN AREAS OF CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. EVEN SO...A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED RISK FOR
VERY HIGH GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER MAY EXIST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS...MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 14.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS...
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THE GREATEST RISK
IS ALONG AND WEST OF A SALINA TO HUTCHINSON TO ANTHONY LINE.
SUPER-CELL STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY ON...AND THEN ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE LINEAR IN NATURE. THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY
LARGE HAIL GREATER THAN 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...DAMAGING DOWN-BURST
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 75 MPH...AND TORNADOES. AS THE LINE OF STORMS
MOVES SLOWLY EAST TOWARD THE KANSAS TURNPIKE LATER THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT...THE RISK OF HIGHER END SEVERE WEATHER WILL LESSEN.
HOWEVER STORMS OVERNIGHT MAY STILL CONTAIN HAIL UP TO GOLF BALL
SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS TO 65 MPH.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A RISK FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL MINOR
FLOODING THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AS THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOP
AND TRAIN ALONG THE SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. THE GREATEST RISK FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS.

STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
INTO MID-EVENING. THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND STRONG WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER VERY HIGH TO EXTREME
FOR RAIN-FREE AREAS THAT ARE WEST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE. PLEASE
REFER TO THE RED FLAG WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY FOR DETAILS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST
