Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
658 PM CDT THU JUL 7 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2016

Low confidence forecast. Models have been struggling with
outflow/convective trends of late, and given synoptic pattern,
see little change in predictability beyond about the first period.
Some small chance for storms this afternoon/evening in southeast
KS, but based on current observations/trends, thinking cap will
hold. Current thinking is cumulus field on satellite extending from
Northwest to Southeast KS may portend the track of storms
tonight. Thinking high plains storms will eventually develop
somewhere in Northwest KS near/after sunset, then track southeast
during the night along rich moisture axis. Will trend pops that
way. This will result in extensive clouds/precipitation lingering
on Friday across forecast area, and trended temperatures down a
bit. That said, if storms do not develop overnight, chances for
strong-severe storms increases ahead of surface boundary in the
afternoon. Given uncertainty in precipitation and resultant
temperatures tomorrow, opted not to extend heat advisory at this
time. Beyond that, the entire forecast will hinge on amount/extent
of convection and location of ouflow boundaries. -Howerton

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2016

Little change in extended forecast with front potentially hung up
somewhere in the forecast area by both GFS/ECMWF taken at face
value. However similar to the short term, predictibilty in timing
of shortwaves moving through mainly zonal flow and resultant mcs
is low. Clouds/precipitation will have significant impact on
temperatures as well, with some days warmer/some cooler than
initialization grids. -Howerton

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 656 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2016

Expecting mainly VFR conditions overnight into early Fri with main
concerns being nocturnal convective chances. Still could have an
very small chance of an isolated storm along a weak outflow boundary
to the north of KCNU in ern KS, but this chance looks too small to
mention in the KCNU Taf.

Will keep an eye on convective trends to the west of the forecast
area, either in NW KS or SW KS. If convection in either location can
grow upscale overnight, this convection will drift east-southeast
overnight, potentially impacting portions of Central and South
Central KS. Not alot of confidence in either area growing upscale,
but think the better chance appears to be over South Central KS as
SW KS convection will be fed by increasing low level moisture
transport into SW KS.  So will go with a VCTS for both the KGBD and
KHUT Tafs late tonight after 10z/Fri. Could see some of this shower
activity linger across South Central KS into Fri morning, so will
include a VCSH for KICT as well.
