AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
341 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015

LATEST WATER VAPOR SHOWS A WEAK SHORTWAVE OR MCV MOVING ALONG THE
KS/OK BORDER NEAR THE OK PANHANDLE AT THIS TIME. A QUASI-STATIONARY
BOUNDARY REMAINS PARKED ACROSS CENTRAL OK...WITH SBCAPES TO NORTH OF
THE BOUNDARY STILL IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE.  HEATING IS
INCREASING ACROSS SRN KS...AS THIS MCV MOVES ACROSS...WHICH IS
LEADING TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
KS AT THIS TIME. THINK DIURNALLY DRIVEN WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED STORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN KS AS THIS MCV
CONTINUES TO PROGRESS EAST FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS.

HOW THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL EVOLVE IS UNCERTAIN...AS CURRENT
THINKING SUGGESTS THAT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR OVER
SOUTHWEST AND SOOUTH CENTRAL KS LATE THIS EVENING...AS A PORTION OF
THE FRONT DRIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH.  SO WILL INCREASE POPS OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL KS AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY WED MORNING...AS ANY
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS OVER SW KS WILL MAKE SLOW
PROGRESS TO THE EAST.

CONSIDERED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOME OF THE BORDER COUNTIES TO
THE SW AND S OF KICT AS PRECIP WATER VALUES REMAIN 180-200 PERCENT
OF NORMAL...AND SOME AREAS PICKED UP ALMOST 2 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAINFALL LAST NIGHT. BUT WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS AND UNCERTAINTY FOR
TONIGHT...HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON THIS FOR NOW.  BUT WILL
MENTION HEAVY RAINFALL FOR AREAS SW OF KICT.

WED: THINK PORTIONS OF SRN KS WILL SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR
WED MORNING...AS THE STATIONARY FRONT IN CENTRAL OK MAKES SLOW
PROGRESS BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON WED.  SOME UNCERTAINTY
ON HOW FAST THIS WARM FRONT WILL TRAVEL BACK TO THE NORTH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA ON WED...WITH SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS NOW COMING IN
SLOWER WITH THE NORTHWARD PROGRESSION...KEEPING THIS BOUNDARY ALONG
THE KS/OK BORDER THROUGH WED AS WELL.  THIS COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAINFALL CENTERED ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER POSSIBLY LASTING FOR
A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY ON WED AS WELL.  SO PLAN ON KEEPING SOLID
CHANCE POPS FOR MOST LOCATIONS ACROSS SRN KS...BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY
NOW ON HOW FAR NORTH THE PRECIP CHANCES WILL GET...IF THE BOUNDARY
STAYS ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER.

CURRENT TRENDS SUGGEST THAT WARM FRONT PROGRESSION BACK TO THE
NORTH...WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL EITHER LATE WED NIGHT OR DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS ON THU. SO COULD EVEN SEE SOME CONVECTION DEVELOP
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ALONG THE WARM FRONT OR IN THE WARM SECTOR
AS IT PUSHES BACK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR THU. NAM/WRF SUGGESTS
THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KS WILL
BECOME VERY UNSTABLE FOR THU AFTERNOON...BUT AN ELEVATED MIXED
LAYER...DUE TO WARMER AIR ALOFT ALSO MOVING INTO THE AREA...WILL
KEEP MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE CHANCES CAPPED OFF.

WITH THE RETURN OF THE WARM SECTOR...THE MAIN STORY ON THU WILL ALSO
BE THE RETURN OF THE HOT AND MUGGY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY FOR MOST
OF SOUTHERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS.

KETCHAM

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015

FRI LOOKS LIKE THE REALLY HOT DAY... AS THE MAIN MID LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE PLAINS.  THIS WILL LEAD TO MOST AREAS CLIMBING
BACK INTO THE MID-UPPER 90S FOR HIGH TEMPS...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES
IN THE 105-108 RANGE.  SO LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO CONSIDER SOME
SORT OF HEAT ADVISORY FOR FRI AREAWIDE AND POSSIBLY SAT IN SE KS.

TROPICAL RIDGE LOOKS TO REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.  SHORTWAVES RIDING OVER THE
TOP OF THE RIDGE COULD LEAD TO MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING CHANCES
OF PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL
KS...WHERE A STALLED SURFACE TROUGH WILL LEAD TO A BETTER FOCUS FOR
STORMS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015

ISSUED AT 1230 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015

WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS MAY BEGIN TO REDEVELOP WITHIN A
WEAKLY CAPPED AIRMASS ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS AFTER 20-21Z. BETTER
CHANCES MAY ARRIVE TONIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. TRANSIENT IFR/MVFR MAY DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF STORMS WITH
SOME CONCERN FOR STRATUS DEVELOPING IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS
AFTER 08-10Z MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN KS.
