Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 555 AM CDT SAT SEP 10 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday night) Issued at 308 AM CDT Sat Sep 10 2016 The well-advertised cold front has pushed through the remainder of southeastern Kansas early this morning, and post-frontal stratiform rainfall should clear the far southeastern Kansas counties by 10 or 11 UTC. The parent upper trough over the Upper Midwest will translate eastward to the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley by this evening, with high pressure building into Kansas with cooler and drier air for today. Lee troughing and southerly return flow will develop Sunday into Monday, ahead of mid-upper level height falls occuring over the western states and south-central Canada. This will allow temperatures to modify to slightly warmer than average by Monday. The next cold front is progged to drop southward into Kansas Monday into Monday night, with dewpoints recovering to well up into the 60s ahead of the front. This front will signal the next chance of thunderstorms from late Monday into Monday night, with highest probabilities across central into northeast Kansas at this juncture. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 308 AM CDT Sat Sep 10 2016 An upper trough will continue to press eastward across the Great Lakes and Northeast Tuesday into Wednesday, while an upper trough remains cutoff over the Great Basin. This will allow the cold front to settle south of Kansas. Storm chances Wednesday should be mainly south and west of the forecast area. The upper trough over the Great Basin is progged to approach the Plains late in the week. Moist/unstable air should return northward ahead of this trough, bringing increased chances of showers/thunderstorms to the forecast area for Thursday/Friday per the GEFS, GFS, and ECWMF. Mostly cloudy skies and periodic storm chances during this extended forecast period should keep temperatures near to slightly below seasonal normals. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 551 AM CDT Sat Sep 10 2016 VFR conditions are slated for today into tonight, as surface high pressure builds into the Kansas region behind a cold front. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
