AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
950 AM CDT WED JUL 23 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 950 AM CDT WED JUL 23 2014

ELEVATED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO ROLL SOUTHEAST ACROSS EAST-
CENTRAL KS. ACTIVITY APPEARS TO HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG AN ELEVATED
INSTABILITY GRADIENT IN THE PROGRESSIVE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
REGIME. 12Z TOPEKA SOUNDING INDICATES AROUND 2000 J/KG OF ELEVATED
CAPE FROM PARCELS LIFTED FROM 800-700MB...ALONG WITH MODEST DEEP
LAYER SHEAR. CONSEQUENTLY...SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE AS THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO ROLL
SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHEAST KS. EVEN THOUGH ACTIVITY SHOULD TEND TO
WEAKEN AND BECOME LESS WIDESPREAD WITH TIME...SEE NO REASON WHY IT
WON'T HOLD TOGETHER INTO FAR SOUTHEAST KS. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHWEST NE MAY ALSO HOLD TOGETHER AND GET INTO
CENTRAL KS BY AFTERNOON...AS IT ROLLS SOUTHEAST ALONG ELEVATED
INSTABILITY GRADIENT.
