Area forecast discussion, May 7, 8:03 PM CDT, 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 803 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... ISSUED AT 757 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 THUNDERSTORMS ARE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING ALONG THE RETREATING DRYLINE THIS EVENING. WITH STILL MODEST MUCAPE OF 1000-2000 J/KG AND 20-30KTS SHEAR SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE. BECAUSE OF THAT HAVE EXPANDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 124 TO INCLUDE BARTON AND ELLSWORTH COUNTIES. WATCH CONTINUES UNTIL 10PM. BILLINGS WRIGHT && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 355 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 THIS AFTERNOON A DEEP UPPER-DECK TROF WAS SLOWLY MOVING EAST OVER UT & AZ WHILE AN UPPER-DECK RIDGE OF ROGUE WAVE PROPORTIONS WAS COVERING THE EASTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA. DOWNSTAIRS A STRONG DRY LINE CURVED FROM NORTH-CENTRAL KS THROUGH SOUTH-CENTRAL KS TO WESTERN OK. THIS DRY LINE WILL THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AS IT CONTINUES TO SHARPEN. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 355 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 TONIGHT: WITH THE ULTRA-HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE COVERING THE EASTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER-DECK TROF SITUATED OVER UT & AZ WILL BEGIN TO TAKE A SLIGHTLY MORE NE TREK TOWARD THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THE TROF WILL SLOWLY DEVELOP A SLIGHT NEGATIVE TILT. A 90-100KT UPPER JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER WAVE WILL SURGE NE FROM THE NM/TX BORDER TO THE PANHANDLES THEN SPREAD ACROSS WESTERN & CENTRAL KS. THE MAXIMUM HEATING COUPLED WITH FAIRLY HIGH OCTANE FUEL WILL CAUSE FURTHER AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO CENTRAL & EASTERN KS. MIXED LAYER CAPES CONFIRM THIS WITH 3-HOUR INCREASES FROM 400-1000 J/KG WITH THE GREATEST INCREASES COVERING EASTERN KS. WITH DEEP-LAYER SHEAR (BOTH SPEED & DIRECTIONAL) PRONOUNCED PLUS 6-KM BULK SHEAR INCREASING FROM ~40KTS TO 50-60KTS...SUPERCELLULAR CONVECTION CAPABLE OF PRIMARILY VERY LARGE HAIL IS CERTAIN. A FEW TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL KS. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED OVER CENTRAL & SOUTH CENTRAL KS WITH A SEVERE DESCRIPTOR APPLIED. LATER TONIGHT THE PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING 70MPH WINDS. ON A LESSER NOTE THE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE CANCELLED. THU & THU NIGHT: THE GREATEST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL SHIFT SLOWLY EAST WITH HIGHEST POTENTIAL ALONG & EAST OF I35/I-135. THE STRONG DEEP-LAYER (ESPECIALLY THE SPEED VARIANT) WILL SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINS. FRI & FRI NIGHT: THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SE ACROSS KS DUE TO NE MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER-DECK WAVE. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 355 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 SUNDAY & SUNDAY NIGHT: THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN & THUNDERSTORMS IS STILL SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE LATE SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUN MORNING AS THE NEXT UPPER-DECK WAVE GREATLY STRENGTHENS AS IT SURGES SE FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TO KS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY & SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE ATTENDANT COLD FRONT SURGES SE ACROSS KS ON SUN. MON-WED: SHOULD BE QUIET AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SPREADS E/SE ACROSS KS. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 644 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2014 THE MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CONCERN IS FOR THE CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT AND THEN AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE FIRST GROUP OF STORMS IS MOVING TOWARDS TOPEKA THIS EVENING...BUT THERE COULD BE LATER ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT...HAVE VCTS AND SOME TEMPO GROUPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL SUBSIDE DURING THE DAY TIME HOURS BEFORE DEVELOPING AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE AS WELL. ASIDE FROM THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT...GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO THURSDAY. THE FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH KRSL/KSLN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST. BILLINGS WRIGHT && .FIRE WEATHER...
