AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1220 PM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

...UPDATED FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 327 AM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING AND MOVING NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE STATE THIS MORNING AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY IS SPARKED IN
ADVANCE OF A SHORT WAVE/RIPPLE OF DISTURBANCE MOVING OFF OF THE
UPPER LOW OVER THE WEST. MORNING LOWS ARE IN THE UPPER 60S WITH
LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 327 AM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

TODAY-TONIGHT:
THE MAIN CONCERN IS SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE
DAY AND DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE LATEST HIGHER RESOLUTION
HRRR/NAM GUIDANCE INDICATE THAT THE ONGOING CONVECTION WILL
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHEASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON...IMPACTING CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KANSAS BY
EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY COULD IMPACT MUCH OF CENTRAL TO
SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS THE AFTERNOON WARES
ON...YET ANOTHER DISTURBANCE/SHORT WAVE/RIPPLE IN THE UPPER FLOW
WILL EJECT NORTHEASTWARD AND MOVE OVER THE AREA WHICH WILL HELP
TO POTENTIALLY FIRE MORE CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL TO SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL ALSO MOVE NORTHEAST...FOCUSING
ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE CLOUD
COVER AND POTENTIAL RAIN AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL HELP TO KEEP
TEMPERATURES ON THE COOLER SIDE. HIGHS IN THE 80S ARE ANTICIPATED.

SATURDAY - SUNDAY:
THE MAIN THREAT THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL CHANCE FROM PRECIPITATION
TO THE HEAT. TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY SOAR BACK INTO THE 90S AND
100S. THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WILL CAUSE HEAT
INDICES TO REACH TO CLOSE TO AND EVEN POSSIBLY EXCEED 105 SUNDAY.
A SURFACE TROUGH/LOW PRESSURE WITH DRY AIR WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN
AND CENTRAL KANSAS ON SATURDAY...AND EVEN FURTHER EASTWARD ON
SUNDAY WHICH WILL HELP TO DRY OUT AND HEAT UP TEMPERATURES IN
CENTRAL KANSAS. HAVE INCREASED HIGHS IN CENTRAL KANSAS TO UP TO
105 IN CENTRAL KANSAS DUE TO THE DRIER AIR FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE COMBINATION OF THE HOT TEMPS
DUE TO THE DRIER AIR AND THE UPPER 90S/LOWER 100S WITH THE HIGHER
DEWPOINTS WILL CAUSE HEAT INDICIES TO BE EXTREME. HEAT HEADLINES
MAY BE NEEDED FOR SUNDAY.

BILLINGS WRIGHT

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 327 AM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

THE UPPER RIDGE RETROGRADES BACK TO THE WEST THROUGHOUT THE WORK
WEEK. KEEPING TEMPERATURES HOT. AGAIN ON MONDAY HIGHS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE SIMILAR TO SUNDAY WITH THE DRY AIR IN CENTRAL KANSAS...AND
TEMPS EXCEEDING 100 ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE AND HEAT INDICES
CLOSE TO OR EXCEEDING 105. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE HOT ACROSS
THE STATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH LITTLE CHANGE
COMING TO THE PATTERN. THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION
SCATTERED THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH THE BEST CHANCE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AT THIS TIME DUE
TO DISCREPANCIES WITH TIMING IN THE LATER PERIODS OF THE MID-RANGE
GUIDANCE.

BILLINGS WRIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1220 PM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

A CORRIDOR OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON...SUPPORTED BY MODERATE TO STRONG ELEVATED MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AND A SHORTWAVE ALOFT MOVING ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS.
CHANCES FOR CONVECTION TONIGHT SHOULD GENERALLY FOCUS CLOSER TO THE
I-70 CORRIDOR AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH...BEFORE SHIFTING NORTH OF
THE AREA ON SATURDAY. WHILE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST VALID PERIOD...PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
CAN BE EXPECTED WITH BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE IN CONVECTION. SOUTH WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE AND BECOME GUSTY...ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY.
