Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 2:53 AM CDT, 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 253 AM CDT SUN JUL 3 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night) Issued at 247 AM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016 Ongoing large mesoscale convective complex stretches from northwest Oklahoma northeastward across much of eastern Kansas, as a 45 knot southerly low-level jet feeds strong moisture transport into the 925- 850 mb frontal zone, coincident with an axis of 2 to 2.20 inches of precipitable water. Torrential rainfall rates continue mainly across portions of south-central and southeast Kansas, with plenty of ongoing flooding and flash flooding ongoing. Lift is also being aided by a shortwave trough over central Kansas which is moving slowly eastward. As this wave moves eastward this morning, the low-level jet is progged to gradually veer to southwesterly, which should shift the heaviest rainfall over far southeast Kansas by daybreak, before pushing east of there by late morning. Have preliminarily extended the flash flood watch til 18Z for southeast Kansas and will let the current watch continue til 12Z for much of central and south-central Kansas. Widespread convective outflow and considerable cloudiness should lead to a cooler than normal early July day today. Some possibility that storms could linger or redevelop by this afternoon over southeast Kansas with the models still showing the main synoptic front moving through, however this is uncertain given this morning's complex and potential outflow effects. Given skies clear out tonight behind the front, areas of radiation fog may develop underneath the low-level ridge axis with light winds/clear skies across central and south-central Kansas. Dry weather still looks on target for the fourth with slightly below normal temperatures. Models suggest a weak impulse lifting northeast out of New Mexico across Kansas Tuesday into Tuesday night, with southerly flow and moisture return ahead of it. This supports the going slight chance of thunderstorms with warming temperatures and rather humid air returning. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 247 AM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016 Typical summer-like pattern will affect the Central Plains with mid- upper ridging dominating, with above normal temperatures and afternoon heat indices of 100 to 105 possible. Some chance a weak cold front could migrate southward into the Kansas region late in the week, as a significant shortwave trough moves across the Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley. The ECMWF model amplifies this feature more than than the GFS implying uncertainty as to how far south this front will get. Will keep 15-20% chance of storms in late in the week for this front, but not optimistic and much of this extended period should remain dry. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1214 AM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016 Showers/storms with heavy rainfall and gusty winds will continue to push slowly south and east across the region overnight with some reductions on visibility/low cigs. Meanwhile low clouds will overspread central Kansas with LIFR conditions through the mid- morning hours. A cold front will push southward across the are on Sunday with winds switching around to the north and low cigs gradually improving during the afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
