AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
247 PM CDT THU AUG 27 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT THU AUG 27 2015

WESTWARD PROPAGATING OUTFLOW HAS ALLOWED LOW LEVEL FLOW TO REMAIN
BACKED WHICH MAY PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CONVERGENCE FOR DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL KS AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE
REGION. STEEP MID LVL LAPSE RATES ON THE MOIST SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY
MAY SUPPORT LARGE HAIL IN ADDITION TO HEAVY RAIN WITH THE STRONGEST
UPDRAFTS. AS YOU MOVE FURTHER WEST...A MORE DEEPLY MIXED PBL MAY
WOULD SUPPORT GUSTY WINDS WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP GIVEN TALL
SKINNY CAPE PROFILES.

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS
KS AND NE TONIGHT AND ALTHOUGH THE MORE ROBUST LOW LVL MOISTURE
TRANSPORT/MID LVL WAA AND LLJ CONVERGENCE WILL REMAIN NORTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA...MAINTAINED HIGHER POPS ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
KS WHERE CONFIDENCE IN DEEP MOIST CONVECTION REMAINS HIGHER GIVEN
MODERATE INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH 35 TO 40 KT OF 1-7KM BULK SHEAR.
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...INCREASING CINH MAY PRECLUDE MORE
WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY. STORMS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS GRADUALLY WORKING EASTWARD INTO
SOUTHEAST KS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING
HOURS BEFORE MOVING EAST OF THE AREA. LIMITED INSOLATION AND A
SUBTLE FROPA WILL KEEP HIGHS JUST BELOW CLIMATE NORMALS WITH MOST
LOCATIONS REACHING THE MID 80S. WITH WEAKER CINH/SHEAR THE THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS LOW AT THIS TIME ALTHOUGH SOME POCKETS
OF HEAVY RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE.

A DRY POST-FRONTAL REGIME IS ANTICIPATED ON SATURDAY-SUNDAY BEHIND
THE DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER
THE AREA SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S ON SATURDAY. BY
SUNDAY...RETURN FLOW IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP SUPPORTING HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 80S/NEAR 90.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT THU AUG 27 2015

A PERSISTENCE TYPE FORECAST WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE ENTIRE
PERIOD AS AN ELONGATED MID-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS PARKED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES DURING THE PERIOD. THIS
WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS AND SEASONABLY MILD
TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1243 PM CDT THU AUG 27 2015

MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE CONVECTIVE TRENDS THROUGH THE NEXT
24 HOURS.

STORMS CONTINUE OVER SE KS THIS AFTERNOON IN AN AREA OF STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE 310-315K LAYER WITH THIS BAROCLINC ZONE
REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD SLOWLY COME TO AN END AS THE EVENING HOURS
APPROACH WITH THE MAIN THREAT HEAVY RAINFALL. ATTENTION WILL THEN
TURN TO OVERNIGHT STORM CHANCES ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING
UPPER WAVE. THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO SWING ACROSS NORTHERN
KS/NEBRASKA AFTER 00Z. CONFIDENCE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS LOW
WITH MUCH HIGHER CONFIDENCE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. SO WHILE
WE ARE CONFIDENT STORMS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 00Z ACROSS CENTRAL
KS...NOT SURE HOW WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY WILL BE. SO WILL MAINLY JUST
RUN WITH VCTS IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.
