Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
324 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 324 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2016

Excessive heat will linger through at least the weekend as a
mid/upper ridge builds over the Central Conus and an excessive heat
watch will be issued for much of the area from Friday through
Sunday. With limited advection of low level moisture...the PBL
should gradually begin to dry out...especially along and west of I-
35 so the higher heat indices are expected to remain along and east
of I-35 through much of the period. Otherwise...a persistence-type
forecast will be issued with little change anticipated from day-to-
day. Warm mid-lvl temperatures should preclude more widespread deep
moist convection although a rogue storm or two may develop through
the period.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 324 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2016

Hot and dry weather conditions will linger through the
beginning of the week.  As we move toward the middle of the week we
may see a brief break from the heat and the GFS/ECMWF both break
down the mid/upper ridge driving a cold front south bisecting Kansas
Tue/Wed. Maintained low probabilities for storms and trended
temperatures down.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1248 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2016

VFR conditions expected to prevail through the forecast valid
period. Upper ridge will remain in place over the area with
weak to modest southerly flow at the surface. Strong diurnal
heating may result in isolated showers/storms during the late
afternoon/evening with potential for downburst winds. However
due to the isolated nature will omit from the terminals.
