AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
632 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

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

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 250 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

UPPER TROUGHING WILL DIG SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS/UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS
WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT...STRETCHING FROM IOWA TO NORTHWEST KS EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON...TO SINK SOUTHWARD THROUGH A VERY MOIST/UNSTABLE
AIRMASS IN OUR FORECAST AREA. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP
NEAR THE FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS AFTER 22Z FROM THE
COMBINATION OF CONVERGENCE/STRONG HEATING ALTHOUGH MID-LEVEL TEMPS
REMAIN VERY WARM. AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH INTO
SOUTHERN KS THIS EVENING...A PROGGED 40 KNOT SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL
JET SHOULD INCREASE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT
INTO THE FRONT. THIS WILL LIKELY ALLOW THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO BECOME
MORE NUMEROUS IN THE 01Z-05Z TIME FRAME. EXTREME INSTABILITY
(MLCAPES 3000-4500 J/KG) WILL BE IN PLACE LATE THIS PM/EARLY
EVE...AS SLIGHTLY STRENGTHENING MID-UPPER FLOW INCREASES DEEP
LAYER SHEAR TO 30-40 KNOTS. THIS SUPPORTS SEVERE MULTICELL AND
SUPERCELL STRUCTURES LATE THIS PM/EARLY EVE...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS. CANNOT RULE OUT A TORNADO ALONG THE FRONT
GIVEN THE EXTREME INSTABILITY. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD WANE LATER
IN THE EVE/OVERNIGHT WITH THE MAIN THREAT BECOMING HEAVY
RAIN/FLOODING. THE BROAD LOW-LEVEL JET NOSING INTO SOUTHWEST/SOUTH
CENTRAL KS AND WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT COULD LEAD TO AT LEAST BRIEF
STORM ECHO TRAINING IN THIS AREA...WITH WARM CLOUD DEPTHS
INCREASING TO 3-4 KM AND ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PW'S OF 1.75-2.40
INCHES. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN
SW/SCNTRL KS THIS EVENING BEFORE THE LOW-LEVEL JET VEERS OUT LATE
TONIGHT.

THE WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH OF THE KS/OK BORDER TUESDAY INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT...AS AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER TROUGH ENCOMPASSES THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. WILL HOLD ONTO
LINGERING STORM CHANCES IN THE SOUTH TUESDAY MORNING...WITH CHANCES
DIMINISHING TUESDAY NIGHT. DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MIDWEST. BELOW
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND DRIER AIR WILL INFILTRATE OUR AREA BEHIND
THE FRONT TUESDAY-THURSDAY.

JMC

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 250 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

THE MEAN UPPER FLOW PATTERN WILL FEATURE BROAD UPPER RIDGING ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CONUS...WITH A BELT OF QUASI-ZONAL FLOW
FROM THE PACIFIC NW INTO SOUTHERN CANADA AND THE NORTHEAST CONUS.
SEMI-PERSISTENT LEE TROUGHING WILL MAINTAIN SOUTHERLY FLOW OF
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE MAIN
PROSPECTS FOR STORM COMPLEXES IS PROGGED JUST NORTH/NORTHEAST OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...SOME LOW PROBABILITIES (20-40%) APPEAR
WARRANTED FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS...WITH SEASONALLY VERY
WARM/HUMID CONDITIONS AREA-WIDE.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 632 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
BY MID-EVENING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE ALONG AND JUST BEHIND A SOUTHWARD MOVING
COLD FRONT TONIGHT. WHILE VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
AWAY FROM CONVECTION...WILL INCLUDE MVFR CATEGORY WITH TSRA
MENTION FOR NOW. AS CONVECTION BECOMES MORE IMMINENT FOR A
TERMINAL...WILL LIKELY AMEND FOR LOWER IFR CATEGORY AS NEEDED.
GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY BEHIND
THE FRONT TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
