Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1018 AM CDT TUE JUL 5 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1018 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Made a few tweaks to the forecast. First, expanded the heat
advisory west a few row of counties given current dewpoints in the
mid-upper 70s across portions of central/south-central KS. Not
anticipating these dewpoints to mix out substantially given
widespread wet soils.

Secondly, inserted a slight chance of thunderstorms generally
along/west of the Flint Hills for this afternoon given the
expected strongly unstable airmass, in concert with a subtle upper
level disturbance approaching from the southwest. Forecast
soundings do indicate a modest capping inversion in place, which
may prevent anything from forming altogether, but thought it
prudent to at least have a slight mention.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night)
Issued at 319 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

The low/mid lvl thermal ridge will expand eastward across the
Central Plains today resulting in rising temperatures. A very
moist pbl will allow the heat index to rise above the century mark
across much of the area and a heat advisory will remain in effect
for southeast KS and portions of south central KS. A shortwave
trough moving over the Southern High Plains this morning is
progged to translate eastward across the area this afternoon but a
strong cap may preclude deep moist convection across the area.
Better chances for isolated/widely scattered storms may arrive
tonight across central KS as another subtle shortwave trough moves
over the Central Plains states. This activity may develop SSE as
the H85 LLJ noses into south central KS/southeast KS late tonight
and bumped pops up across the area.

Wed-Thu...Dangerous heat indices are anticipated again on Wed-
Thu and a heat advisory will likely be extended...especially for
locations along and east of the Kansas Turnpike. Mid lvl
temperatures continue to rise supporting dry weather conditions
and a continuation of excessive heat on Wed while a sagging cold
front will bring increasing chances for storms late Thu.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 319 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

More seasonable temperatures are expected to return on Friday in
the wake of a front. Another shortwave trough is progged to arrive
late Friday bringing increasing chances for storms Friday night
into Sat as the remnant front meanders over the area. Hot and
humid conditions are expected to return late in the weekend and
into early nest week as a mid/upper ridge builds over the Southern
Plains and noses into the Central Plains states.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 618 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

A weak vort lobe will move northeast across south central Kansas
today with some high-level cloudiness this morning. Isolated
storms could form this afternoon underneath this feature, but
degree of lift and capping lead to too much uncertainty for TSRA
mention in TAFs. Other storms are expected to develop along a
surface trough axis in Nebraska and northwest Kansas this evening,
possibly forming into an organized complex overnight which may
track across northern/northeastern Kansas. Have included VCTS at
RSL, SLN, GBD, and CNU terminals for tonight. If storms develop,
they will likely contain very strong wind gusts and brief
torrential rainfall.
