Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 4:04 AM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 404 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 403 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2014 AN UPPER DISTURBANCE IS MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS CAUSING THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS LAST NIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PERSISTED THIS MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. SOME AREAS HAVE PICKED UP MORE THAN AN INCH OF RAIN AND SOME STORMS PRODUCED DAMAGE DUE TO MICROBURSTS. MORNING TEMPS ARE IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S. BILLINGS WRIGHT && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 403 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2014 THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS THE TIMING AND LOCATION FOR THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND ALSO ON SATURDAY. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING TO DIMINISH NEAR TO SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. IF ANY STORMS DO LINGER...THEY SHOULD BE OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS BEFORE CLEARING OUT BY AFTERNOON. EXPECT A DRY DAY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM...IN THE 90S. EXPECT HEAT INDICES TO BE NEAR 100 OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER. BY TONIGHT THE NEXT...MORE POTENT UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE AREA AND SET OFF THUNDERSTORMS OVER WESTERN/NORTHWEST KANSAS. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE EVENING BUT MORE LIKELY THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE GUIDANCE HAS DESCREPANCES ON THE TRACK OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AS THEY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY. THUS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT AN AREA FOR THE FORECAST. HAVE CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...AND WILL HOPE LATER FORECASTS HAVE A CHANCE TO BETTER REFINE THE TRACK OF THE STORMS. THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH THE CURRENT FORECAST HINTING THAT SOUTHERN KANSAS WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. DESPITE THE CONSISTENT RAIN CHANCES...IT WILL NOT RAIN ALL DAY AND NIGHT. BILLINGS WRIGHT .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 403 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2014 THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS MORE DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY. EASTERN KANSAS LOOKS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF PRECIP WITH THIS FORECAST ISSUANCE...BUT EXPECT CHANGES AS THE TIME PERIOD NEARS. TUESDAY LOOKS DRY BUT THUNDERSTORMS MAY AGAIN BE POSSIBLE OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF KANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S THROUGH THE EXTENDED. BILLINGS WRIGHT && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 1205 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2014 A CONVECTIVE LINE OF STORMS IS LOCATED ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTH TOWARDS KICT AND KEWK. ELEVATED SHOWERS AND STORMS WERE LOCATED ALONG THIS LINE FROM KCNU TO KICT TO KHUT. THINK THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL SLOWLY PROPAGATE TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE OVERNIGHT CONTINUES...SO WILL GO WITH VCTS AND A TEMPO TSRA FOR THESE THREE TAF SITES UNTIL 09-10Z/THU. WILL GO WILL VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE KRSL AND KSLN TAFS AS AIRMASS TO THE NORTH OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY BECOMES MORE STABLE. ELEVATED SHOWER AND STORM CHANCE MAY INCREASE OVER SE KS EARLY ON THU MORNING...AS WING OF THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORT MAX LOCATED OVER NE KS SWINGS SOUTHEAST INTO SE KS...AND MID LEVEL LIFT INCREASES IN THIS AREA. SO WILL GO WITH A VCTS FOR KCNU UNTIL AROUND 12Z/THU UNTIL LIFT MOVES EAST-NORTHEAST OUT OF THE AREA. KETCHAM && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
