AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
249 PM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES LOOKING LOWER ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...AS CURRENT SHOWERS/STORMS ARE
MAINTAINING LOW-LEVEL INHIBITION AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT.
STILL CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG/SEVERE STORMS BUT THE RISK IS
LOWER. COULD SEE SOME PATCHY FOG TRY TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...AS SURFACE WINDS
BECOME LIGHTER AND SOME RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HANGS UP.
HOWEVER THE BETTER CHANCES FOR FOG WOULD SEEM TO AFFECT NORTHWEST
KANSAS WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER AND HAVE AN
EASTERLY COMPONENT.

A COOLER DRIER AIRMASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION BEHIND DEPARTING
UPPER LEVEL WAVE ON SATURDAY...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERS
ITSELF ACROSS THE HEARTLAND WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
MEANWHILE...MODELS SHOW ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS ON SUNDAY WITH SOME WEAK MID-LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN
POSSIBLY GENERATING ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED
STORMS OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS. THE BETTER CHANCES LOOK TO REMAIN SOUTH
OF KANSAS ACROSS OKLAHOMA WHERE PROXIMITY TO SURFACE WARM FRONT AND
MORE FAVORABLE ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL RESIDE. A SECOND WEAK UPPER
LEVEL WAVE COULD BRING SOME ELEVATED SHOWERS/STORMS TO CENTRAL
KANSAS LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

THE WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET THIS PERIOD HOWEVER MODELS DO
HINT AT A COUPLE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...BUT
PRECIPITATION SIGNALS FROM THE LONG MODELS REMAIN WEAK SO NOT TOO
EXCITED ABOUT CHANCES AT THIS JUNCTURE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE
NORMAL AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1247 PM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

CHALLENGING FORECAST WITH PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY AS
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH AREA. FRONT AT 1800 UTC WAS
ALREADY THROUGH KRSL...AND CLOSE TO KSLN/KHUT. SOME POST FRONTAL
SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE AT KHUT/KICT/KCNU...BUT ANTICIPATE THE
REMAINDER WILL STAY DRY. MAINLY MVFR CLOUDS ARE SPREADING IN
BEHIND THE FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN KS...ALTHOUGH A FEW SITES OUTSIDE
THE AREA HAVE BRIEFLY DROPPED TO IFR CEILINGS. THINK IFR WILL BE
EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. SOME CLEARING ANTICIPATED A FEW HOURS
BEHIND FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT ALL MODELS TO VARYING DEGREE SHOW
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE INCREASING LATE TONIGHT AND LINGERING WELL
INTO SAT MORNING...WHICH APPEARS WOULD RESULT IN MVFR CEILINGS.
