Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 6:13 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
613 PM CDT FRI APR 24 2015

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 217 PM CDT FRI APR 24 2015

MESOSCALE FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
LATEST SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LEVEL WAVE WITH
ASSOCIATED DRY SLOT OVER THE WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO RACE NORTHEAST AND INTO CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. STRONG SURFACE HEATING IS UNDERWAY OVER WESTERN KANSAS
AND SPREADING EASTWARD RAPIDLY INTO CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
HELPING TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. WE ARE EXPECTING THE WARM
FRONT BOUNDARY TO SHARPEN UP ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS NEAR THE I-70
CORRIDOR...WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE INCREASING AND INITIATING
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE 3-4PM TIME FRAME. EVEN THOUGH ADVECTION
OF THE HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE BEING HELD IN CHECK DUE TO
MORNING/AFTERNOON CONVECTION ALONG THE RED RIVER AREA...UPPER 50S
TO LOW 60S DEWPOINTS WILL STILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AS
VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVERSPREADS THE REGION FROM
APPROACHING UPPER WAVE.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED DUE TO VERY STRONG WIND SHEAR
ALOFT WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY RISK...HOWEVER
IF LOW LEVEL WINDS CAN MAINTAIN A SOUTHEAST OR SOUTH COMPONENT A
TORNADO RISK WILL EXIST ALONG THE WARM FRONT. THE STORMS COULD THEN
FORM INTO A COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT WOULD SINK SOUTHEAST TONIGHT.
ADDITIONAL STORMS COULD TRY AND DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE DRY
LINE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS EITHER LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EVENING...WITH A SLIGHTLY HIGHER RISK OF TORNADOES DUE TO BETTER
QUALITY MOISTURE PUSHING NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA AND POSSIBLE
DISCRETE NATURE OF THESE STORMS.

JAKUB

OVERNIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

STRONG TO SEVERE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION SHOULD EXIT SOUTHEAST
KANSAS BY DAWN SATURDAY. THE DEEPER CYCLONE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS DURING SATURDAY AS A
SURFACE COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH AND BACKDOORS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
KANSAS. IT APPEARS SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING ALONG AND JUST
NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING MAY PROVIDE
IMPETUS FOR ISOLATED LATE DAY CONVECTION ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA.
IF SO...IT COULD LINGER INTO THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE WANING.
OTHERWISE...COOLER AIR WILL GRADUALLY SETTLE SOUTH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA SUNDAY IN ADVANCE OF THE DEVELOPING CLOSED UPPER LOW
ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. MODEL DIFFERENCES STILL APPEAR ON THE
TRACK OF THIS FEATURE EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE GFS CONTINUING
ITS MORE NORTHERLY TRACK...WHERE AS THE ECMWF IS FURTHER SOUTH
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN RELATIVELY
HIGHER CHANCES ACROSS SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 217 PM CDT FRI APR 24 2015

AFTER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS UPPER LOW MOVES EAST OF THE AREA
BY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...THE WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS
DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.
UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS IS
EXPECTED TO SLIDE GRADUALLY EAST INTO THE PLAINS.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 613 PM CDT FRI APR 24 2015

STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT CENTRAL
AND PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING...AND PERHAPS
SOUTHEAST KANSAS OVERNIGHT. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL CAN
BE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR SOME OF THE TERMINALS ALONG WITH IFR
VSBYS AND MVFR CIGS. THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WITH VFR CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA
DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
