AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1125 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

...UPDATED FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 900 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

WARM AIR ALOFT HAS EFFECTIVELY KEPT CONVECTION WELL NW OF THE
FORECAST AREA ALONG THE MAIN SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT IN NRN KS. ALSO
LOOKING AT KDDC RADAR...FINE LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRY LINE SHOWS
DRYLINE BEGINNING TO PUSH BACK TO THE WEST...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY
INCREASE CONVERGENCE AS THIS DRYLINE INTERSECTS THE COLD FRONT.
EXPECT THIS CONVERGENCE TO LEAD TO A LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING
OVER SW KS LATE THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AND MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INCREASES IN THIS AREA. ONCE THIS CONVECTION GETS
GOING...THINK IT WILL MAKE STEADY EASTWARD PROGRESS TOWARDS THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA SOMETIME AFTER 06Z. THUS SPC
HAS ISSUED A SEVERE WATCH FOR A COUPLE OF CENTRAL KS COUNTIES...AS
MUCAPE VALUES REMAIN VERY HIGH...WITH A THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AS
THE CONVECTION PUSHES EAST. SO FOR THE TIME BEING..HAVE CUT BACK ON
POPS BEFORE 06Z WITH THIS IN MIND.  MAY HAVE TO MAKE FURTHER
ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS FOR AREAS IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA AS THE NIGHT CONTINUES...DEPENDING ON HOW CONVECTION
DEVELOPS IN SW KS.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS FOCUS AROUND THUNDERSTORM/SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES THIS EVENING-TONIGHT.

DESPITE SHORT-TERM AND CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODELS STRUGGLING TO
DEVELOP ACTIVITY ACROSS CENTRAL KS (LIKELY DUE TO A STOUT
CAP)...KEEPING BRUNT OF CONVECTION FURTHER NORTH OVER NORTHERN KS
AND NE...EXPECTING AT LEAST ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING OVER
WEST-CENTRAL TO NORTHWEST KS...NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF A DRYLINE
AND ADVANCING STRONG PACIFIC COLD FRONT...AND AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE FROM THE WEST. ADDITIONAL MORE ISOLATED
ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE DRYLINE OVER
WESTERN KS. GIVEN STRONG INSTABILITY AND AMPLE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR...THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS THIS EVENING...GENERALLY AS FAR EAST AS
HIGHWAY 14 OVER CENTRAL KS. GIVEN LARGE TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT
SPREADS...ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO ONE OR MORE CONVECTIVE
COMPLEXES THEREAFTER...ADVANCING EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REST OF
EASTERN KS OVERNIGHT. DUE TO INITIAL STORMS MOVING MAINLY
NORTHEAST...THINKING ACTIVITY WILL NOT GET INTO CENTRAL KS UNTIL
7-8PM AT THE EARLIEST...WITH THE TURNPIKE CORRIDOR NOT AFFECTED
UNTIL 11PM-MIDNIGHT AT THE EARLIEST. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND
ASSOCIATED SEVERE POTENTIAL EAST/SOUTHEAST OF CENTRAL KS LATER
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT IS MORE UNCERTAIN...DUE TO A
STRENGTHENING CAP...AND BEST UPPER FORCING GLANCING NORTH OF THE
AREA. HOWEVER...GIVEN STRONG FRONTAL FORCING...THINKING AT LEAST
STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND IS POSSIBLE AS FAR EAST AS THE
FLINT HILLS AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH POTENTIAL ADVANCING SQUALL LINE.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY GETS HUNG UP OVER SOUTHEAST KS SUNDAY AS
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. DESPITE WEAK
FRONTAL CONVERGENCE...STRONG INSTABILITY...WEAK CAP AND SUBTLE
SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST MAY PROVE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS GENERALLY SOUTHEAST OF THE TURNPIKE LATE SUN
AFTERNOON-EVENING. STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET AND MOISTURE
ADVECTION MAY ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO FESTER WELL INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH POSSIBLE REDEVELOPMENT OVER CENTRAL KS LATE
SUN NIGHT ON EASTERN FRINGE OF STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET AND
ASSOCIATED WARM/MOIST ADVECTION.

ADK

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

THEREAFTER...DRY...WARM AND BREEZY SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT--WEDNESDAY...WITH LEE TROUGHING
OUT TO THE WEST AND BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVERSPREADING
MID-AMERICA. LACK OF FOCUS AND WARM MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD
PRECLUDE THUNDERSTORMS THIS PERIOD. HOWEVER...THUNDERSTORMS WILL
AGAIN BE POSSIBLE BY LATE WED INTO THU...AS MODELS TRACK ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1124 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

LARGE COMPLEX OF TSRA IS RAPIDLY MOVING EAST-NORTHEAST...AND WILL
REACH CENTRAL KS BY AROUND 0430Z NEAR KRSL AND 05Z FOR KSLN. THE
STRONGEST TSRA COULD PRODUCE SOME VARIABLE SEVERE WIND GUSTS TO
40-55 KTS ALSO REDUCING VSBYS TO 2-4SM (MVFR) IN AND AROUND THE
HEAVIEST STORMS.

THE FORWARD PROPAGATING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE
TO MAKE RAPID MOVEMENT TO EAST-SOUTHEAST TOWARDS KHUT AND KICT LATE
TONIGHT BY AROUND 07Z/SUN.  NOT EXPECTING AS STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH
THE TSRA FOR KHUT/KICT...BUT SOME GUSTS TO 35-45KTS STILL SEEM
POSSIBLE AROUND THE STRONGEST STORMS ALONG THE LINE.  ALSO VSBYS
COULD DROP TO 2-5SM.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND CONVECTION WILL MOVE QUICKLY INTO SE KS FOR
EARLY MORNING ON SUN...WITH CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED FOR MOST OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS BY SUN MORNING. FRONTAL BOUNDARY HANGS
UP OVER THE FLINT HILLS FOR SUNDAY...WHICH COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER
ROUND OF TSRA FOR KCNU FOR SUN AFTN. SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW SUN
AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE...SO WILL LEAVE TSRA OUT OF THE
KCNU TAF FOR NOW.
