AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1243 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015

FRONT NOW DRIFTING SOUTHEAST AND IS LOCATED FROM KK68-KWDG.
INSPECTION OGT HE WSR-88D DATA SHOWS THE FRONT FROM ROSALIA-
MULVANE-BLUFF CITY. INFLECTION POINT SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR
MULVANE.

FIRST ROUND OF CONVECTION NOW MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND
INCREASING IN INTENSITY. THE LATEST HRRR/RAP RUNS SHOW THIS WELL
AND BRING CONVECTION NORTHEAST FROM THAT LOCATION. THE MAIN THREAT
CONTINUES TO BE LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE. THE LARGE HAIL
PARAMETER DOES SUGGEST SIGNIFICANT HAIL POTENTIAL.

THE RAP CONTINUES TO SHOW A RETROGRADING BOUNDARY WITH A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF LOW LEVEL CAPE. THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE INCREASE IN SHEAR FROM THE INCOMING DISTURBANCE COUPLED WITH
THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL PRODUCE A SCENARIO VERY FAVORABLE FOR
TORNADIC SUPERCELLS.

WHAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT HAS BEEN THE CONTINUED FOCUS ON AN AREA
THAT INCLUDES COWLEY...SUMNER...AND SOUTHERN BUTLER COUNTIES WHERE
THESE SIGNIFICANT INGREDIENTS ALL COME TOGETHER. THIS IS ONLY NWP
GUIDANCE...BUT THE CONSISTENCY HAS REMAINED AND IS WORTH
MENTIONING.

MOREOVER...THE RAP CONTINUES TO SHOW A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF
TORNADOES CONTINUING AFTER DARK. PRETTY GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THIS
SCENARIO.

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT WED APR 8 2015

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG SHORTWAVE TRACKING OVER THE
CENTRAL GREAT BASIN. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE IS SITUATED
OVER SE CO WITH THE SYNOPTIC FRONT STRETCHING FROM JUST NORTH OF
KGAG TO BETWEEN KCNU AND KPPF. MEANWHILE...A LOSE DRYLINE EXTENDS
ACROSS THE OK PANHANDLE AND INTO WEST TX.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT WED APR 8 2015

ELEVATED STORMS DEVELOPED A COUPLE HOURS AGO OVER THE FLINT HILLS
IN RESPONSE TO A RAPID INCREASE IN MOISTURE TRANSPORT IN THE
850-700MB LAYER. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART STAY
NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS STILL LOOK LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. CURRENTLY HAVE A LEAN TO THE RAP13 DUE TO ITS PERFORMANCE
WITH THE CONVECTION THAT OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS OVER
SE KS. IN ADDITION...IT SEEMS TO BE DOING A DECENT JOB CAPTURING
THE CURRENT ELEVATED CONVECTION. THE GFS LIFTS THE WARM FRONT
MUCH FURTHER NORTH COMPARED TO THE NAM AND RAP WITH THE FRONT
ALONG I-70. MEANWHILE THE RAP AND NAM LIFT THE FRONT TO JUST NORTH
OF KICT TO SOUTH OF KSLN.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE TRIPLE POINT BY LATE AFTERNOON WILL
BE SITUATED JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA NEAR OR JUST NORTH
OF KGAG WITH THE SYNOPTIC FRONT EXTENDING TO THE NORTHEAST NEAR
KICT AND THEN TO NEAR KEMP. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A LEAD
IMPULSE/JET MAX OVER NORTHERN BAJA. EXPECTING STORMS TO DEVELOP
NEAR THE TRIPLE POINT AS THIS FEATURE MOVES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
HIGH PLAINS. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAN THEN BE EXPECTED NORTHEAST
ALONG THE SYNOPTIC FRONT. IT SEEMS WITH EACH MODEL RUN THE DEEP
LAYER SHEAR HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY AND THE 00Z RUNS WERE NO
EXCEPTION...WITH AROUND 50KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR AND 65-80KTS OF
0-8KM SHEAR OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KS. THESE SHEAR VALUES WILL COMBINE
WITH 2000-3000J/KG OF CAPE TO ALLOW ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS TO
QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. THE SCARY PART IS THAT WITH THE
RETREATING DRYLINE AFTER 00Z...THE ENVIRONMENT ACTUALLY BECOMES
MORE FAVORABLE AFTER DARK AS WINDS BACK AND THE LOW LEVEL JET GETS
GOING. SO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO GET A TORNADO AFTER DARK OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL KS. THE BEST TORNADO POTENTIAL TONIGHT LOOKS TO BE
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 99. IF THE NAM AND RAP13
VERIFIES...SEVERE STORMS OVER CENTRAL KS WOULD BE LESS LIKELY.

BY 12Z THU...THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN
KS/NEBRASKA WITH THE SYNOPTIC FRONT CATCHING UP TO THE DRYLINE AND
SURGING EAST. WHILE THERE MAYBE SOME REMNANT STORMS OVER SE KS
AROUND SUNRISE...THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY AFTER 15Z THU WILL BE
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THE BETTER CHANCES
FOR PRECIP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA THU.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT WED APR 8 2015

A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL ENCOMPASS THE PLAINS FOR FRI
WITH TEMPS FINALLY GETTING BACK TO SEASONAL VALUES. BOTH THE GFS
AND ECMWF BRING A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM OUT OF THE BAJA REGION
AND INTO WEST TX BY SUN EVENING. WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS SAT BUT THE
BETTER PRECIP CHANCES LOOK TO ARRIVE SUN NIGHT AND CONTINUE
THROUGH MON WHEN THE IMPULSE LIFTS ACROSS THE PLAINS. THE GFS HAS
THIS FEATURE QUITE A BIT FURTHER WEST COMPARED TO THE ECMWF WHICH
RESULTS IN THE ECMWF BEING THE WETTER SOLUTION.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1208 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015

CONVECTION NOW DEVELOPING OVER OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO
THE AIRSPACE AND CONTINUE WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS THROUGH 6Z. THIS
WILL AFFECT ALL AIRPORTS AND FIELDS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF KSLN-
KVNX. THESE STORMS WILL BE SEVERE AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

FOG...WHICH CONTINUES TO AFFECT KHUT...KRSL...KSLN HAS BEEN SLOW
TO BURN OFF. THINK IT SHOULD BE GONE BY 21Z. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
PERSIST THROUGH 03Z...WITH FOG REDEVELOPMENT THERE POSSIBLE
THROUGH 12Z.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CLEAR THE AREA BY 14Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT WED APR 8 2015

MAIN FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOOK TO ON THURSDAY.

EVEN WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER
WILL BE IN PLACE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND SE KS DUE TO GUSTY SOUTH
WINDS. HOWEVER...THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY LOOKS TO BE THU.
THIS IS WHEN STRONG NW WINDS WILL BE IN PLACE BY THE AFTERNOON
HOURS ALONG WITH RH'S IN THE 35-45% RANGE. WIND SPEEDS THU
AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE 20-30 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS.
