AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
704 AM CDT THU OCT 2 2014

...UPDATED FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 AM CDT THU OCT 2 2014

CURRENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND FINE LINE ON RADAR IMAGERY SHOW THE
COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH BARTON...ELLSWORTH...AND LINCOLN COUNTIES
ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS. STARTING TO SEE SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION
DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT...THIS CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO FILL
IN ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS AS UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY  APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. AS THIS ENERGY CONTINUES LIFTS
INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS FOR TODAY...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG-SEVERE STORMS THAT WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT EAST OF THE FLINT HILLS THIS AFTERNOON. ONGOING
CONVECTION ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
MORNING HOURS AS MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. ANY LINGERING CLOUDS IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS MAY INHIBIT SURFACE
HEATING AND FURTHER DESTABILIZATION...HOWEVER WITH STRONG FORCING
ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND WEAK/MODERATE INSTABILITY ALREADY IN PLACE
EXPECT STRONG-SEVERE STORMS TO REDEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF THE FLINT
HILLS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MAIN THREAT WILL
INITIALLY BE LARGE HAIL WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE RANGING FROM
2000-3000J/KG AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR APPROACHING 40-50KTS. STRAIGHT
LINE DAMAGING WINDS WILL BECOME THE MAIN THREAT ONCE THE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR BECOMES ORIENTED PARALLEL TO FORCING ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND
STORMS CONGEAL INTO A SQUALL LINE. THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL VACATE
SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS EVENING AND USHER IN COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND.

A SECOND COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS ON FRIDAY AS AN
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE DROPS DOWN FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT FRIDAY AND COOLER AIR WILL
SETTLE INTO CENTRAL KANSAS FRIDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF CLEAR
SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LEAD TO TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE
MID 30S ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND UPPER 30S ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST KANSAS. AREAS OF PATCHY FROST MAY DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER. SATURDAY IS
SHAPING UP TO BE A GORGEOUS FALL DAY WITH EASTERLY WINDS AND
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AS NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 AM CDT THU OCT 2 2014

NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS KANSAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE BECOMES CUTOFF OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE SURFACE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TRAVERSES CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RETURN AND TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY WARM BACK UP
INTO THE 80S BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 703 AM CDT THU OCT 2 2014

WARM ADVECTION AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES TO LEAD TO
PREFRONTAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE KS MAINLY
TO THE EAST OF THE KCNU TAF SITE. EXPECT THIS AREA OF SHOWERS TO
GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA IN SW MO...SO WILL KEEP A VCSH FOR
ANY LINGERING SHOWERS THIS MORNING.

NEXT CONCERN WILL A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY BISECTING
THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY LOCATED ALONG AND JUST WEST OF THE KS
TURNPIKE. SEEING SOME TRANSIENT IFR CIGS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF
THIS FRONT...THAT WILL AFFECT THE KHUT/KSLN TAF SITES FOR AN HOUR OR
TWO BEFORE MOVING EAST. THE MAIN SHORTWAVE THAT IS HELPING PUSH THIS
FRONT EAST-SOUTHEAST IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS WRN KS. THIS IMPULSE
WILL INCREASE LIFT UNDER THE RESIDENT COLD CORE LEADING TO ELEVATED
POST FRONTAL SHOWERS AND SOME TSRA AFTER THE FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS
INITIALLY CENTRAL KS...NEAR THE KRSL/KSLN TAF SITES. THEN FURTHER
EAST LATER THIS MORNING FOR THE KHUT/KICT TAFS AS WELL.

THINK THIS SHRA ACTIVITY AND ASSOCIATED MVFR CIGS WILL LINGER ACROSS
MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST...THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF TSRA
DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT OVER SE KS. BUT RAPID PROGRESSION OF
FRONT THIS MORNING WILL KEEP THIS CHANCE FURTHER TO THE EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA...SO WILL GO WITH JUST SOME POST FRONTAL VCSH FOR KCNU
FOR NOW.

CLOUD COVER WILL CLEAR OUT RAPIDLY FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
EVENING...AS COOLER/DRIER AIR MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.  ANOTHER
REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
AFTER 06Z/FRI...WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME GUSTY NORTH WINDS.
