Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 6:43 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 643 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday night) Issued at 322 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Showers and embedded thunderstorms continue early this morning, for areas mainly east of the KS turnpike. This large area of convection is right along the 850-700h baroclinic zone, aided by the right exit region of the upper level jet currently moving across the southern Great Lakes. Expect this area of showers and embedded thunderstorms to continue across southern KS for a good portion of the morning hours as this first wave and jet streak shifts east of the area. Another stronger impulse currently moving across the Rockies will rapidly move out into the plains for later today into this afternoon/evening, with lift associated with this shortwave leading to showers and embedded thunderstorms becoming more widespread across the area for the afternoon into this evening. Already seeing signs of this second system, with showers/storms increasing across the Tx panhandle. Left front quad of this approaching system will lead to very efficient rainfall across most of the area later today, which may lead to periods of heavy rainfall, with the heaviest rainfall amounts expected late this afternoon, especially for areas from Wichita east to Chanute. Fairly impressive effective shear (60- 85kts) as this system moves across, but better instability for a severe storm chance remains well south of the forecast area. So could see a few strong storms along the KS/OK border, as strong effective shear/steep lapse rates lead to a few strong updrafts, but think the main severe chance will stay well south of the area. Some of the latest Hi-rez models suggest that a large bowing segment will move across OK this afternoon. Plan on keeping the areal flood watch as is, as some areas may see an additional 1 to 2 inches of QPF as this secondary system moves across, which could lead to some minor flooding of low lying areas and creeks and streams. The widespread showers and embedded storms will lead to a cool temp day, with temps struggling to make it out of the middle 50s with east to northeast surface flow. The rapid progression of the shortwave will lead to most of the showers and embedded storms shifting to the east, as this evening progresses, with some areas across Central KS actually picking up their rainfall late this evening as the main trowal axis moves across Central KS. The rain will gradually taper off early Saturday morning over southeast Kansas. Expect a coolish weekend as a weak upper level ridge moves across the area with north-northeast surface flow. Main surface ridge axis looks to move across the forecast area on Sunday morning, which may lead to some patchy frost over Central Kansas. But expect a pleasant weather day on Sunday with light winds and seasonal temps. Ketcham .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 322 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Zonal flow will lead to dry and warm conditions for the start of the work week. Low level moisture will be slow to return, with a weak shortwave moving across the northern plains, leading to cold front sagging south across the area for Tue. Not expecting alot of shower activity as this front pushes south, as better moisture will remain to the south of the area. Medium range models suggest flow will gradually shift to more of a W-SW flow pattern by the middle of next week, which will lead to thunderstorm chances increasing for Wed/Thu as low level moisture quality improves.
