AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

STRONG INSTABILITY EXISTS IN THE WARM/MOIST SECTOR ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH COLD FRONT AND DRY-LINE
JUST OFF TO OUR WEST. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE NEAR
THE TIME OF PEAK HEATING...WITH RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP
CONVECTION DEPICTED BY THE SHORT TERM MODELS IN THE 21-23Z
TIME FRAME. IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT AN
INITIAL SUPERCELL MODE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THOUGH FORCING ALONG THE
EASTWARD MIGRATING COLD FRONT AND FLOW ALOFT MORE PARALLEL TO
THE BOUNDARY SUGGESTS TRANSITION TO A LINEAR MODE AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. THE GREATEST RISK FOR HIGHER END SEVERE WEATHER
INCLUDING VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES SHOULD EXIST LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS WITH ANY
SUPERCELL STORMS AND DURING TRANSITION TO A QUASI-LINEAR
MODE...ESPECIALLY PREFERENTIALLY ON THE SOUTHERN MOST CELLS ALONG
THE FRONT. THE SEVERE RISK SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT AS THE
CONVECTION SHIFTS EAST TOWARD THE TURNPIKE...THOUGH MARGINALLY
SEVERE STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WITH AN INCREASED POTENTIAL
FOR MINOR FLOODING WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT.

MUCH COOLER WEATHER IS STILL ON TAP FOR EARLY THIS WEEK AS THE
MEAN LONGWAVE UPPER TROF SLOWLY MIGRATES EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS
TO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL LINGER ON
MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS THOUGH THE SEVERE RISK LOOKS
MINIMAL WITH PERHAPS JUST A FEW STRONG STORMS BEFORE THE FRONT
EXITS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE ALOFT IN THE BASE OF
THE MEAN LONGWAVE TROF WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS
AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS MAY PROVIDE MAINLY
SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK. SHORTWAVES ALOFT WILL ROTATE SOUTHEAST ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE EASTERN CONUS LONGWAVE ACROSS THE MIDWEST. THIS MAY GIVE
RISE TO SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AS A REINFORCING PUSH OF
COOL AIR AND FRONT PUSHES SOUTH BY THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY.
OTHERWISE IT WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH SOME MODERATION
BY THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 103 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

NO DOUBT THERE ARE MAJOR CONCERNS..NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS THAT OF
+TSRAGR TO ALL AREAS AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES SLOWLY SE ACROSS
CNTRL KS THIS EVE. CHANGES WERE MADE TO INHERITED FCST. THEY WERE TO
DELAY THE ARRIVAL OF THE COLD FRONT & ASSOCIATED +TSRAGR TO SC & SE KS
AS IT DEFINITELY APPEARS THE FRONT WILL NOT REACH KHUT TIL ~12Z...KICT
TIL ~15Z & KCNU TIL MON AFTERNOON. AS SUCH THE ARRIVAL OF +TSRAGR HAS
LIKEWISE BEEN DELAYED TO THESE 3 TERMINALS TO 08Z-10Z. CIGS TO QUICKLY
PLUNGE TO IFR STATUS ALONG WITH VSBYS AS +TSRAGR MOVE THROUGH. AS SUCH
HAVE REMAINED PESSIMISTIC THAT ALL TERMINALS WILL DETERIORATE QUICKLY
WITH KRSL & KSLN NOT EXPECTED TO RETURN TO VFR STATUS TIL EARLY MON
AFTERNOON.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
MEANINGFUL RAINS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS MAY
ALLOW FOR RENEWED GREEN-UP ACROSS DROUGHT STRICKEN AREAS OF CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. EVEN SO...A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED RISK FOR
VERY HIGH GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER MAY EXIST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS...MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 14.

IS ALONG AND WEST OF A SALINA TO HUTCHINSON TO ANTHONY LINE.
SUPER-CELL STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY ON...AND THEN ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE LINEAR IN NATURE. THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY
