Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
653 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

...Updated for Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

An upper low over Montana this afternoon will lift northeastward
across the northern Plains tonight into Wednesday. The trailing
end of the upper trough axis will move eastward across Kansas
tonight into Wednesday morning. Low-level winds will back in the
warm sector, with increased convergence along the dryline
extending from central Kansas to the Texas Panhandle late this
afternoon and evening, despite the dryline retreating slightly
westward this evening. Weakening inhibition, combined with lift
from the approaching upper trough and dryline convergence, should
allow fairly isolated storms to develop near the western fringes
of the forecast area by early this evening. A small cluster or two
may evolve overnight, aided by upper-level diffluent flow and a
strengthened low-level jet. Not expected widespread storm
coverage. Any isolated storms early on could be supercells given
very strong instability and moderately strong shear. A few reports
of large hail and severe wind gusts will be possible, with fairly
high LCL's.

As the upper low lifts into Canada on Wednesday, the trailing
frontal boundary is progged to stretch from northeast Kansas to
south-central Kansas, to northwest Oklahoma. Strong insolation and
rich Gulf moisture along/south of the front will lead to very
strong to extreme diurnal instability, with cap strength weakening
from northeast to southwest along the front in the afternoon.
Weak frontal convergence with some increased diffluent upper flow
may allow a cluster or two of storms to initiate southwestward
along the front in the pm/eve hours. Primarily, a multicell storm
mode seems favored with localized severe winds/hail possible.

Moderate west-northwesterly flow aloft is indicated Thursday into
Friday, with a lingering frontal/outflow/dryline intersection in the
Kansas region. Rich, Gulf moisture/instability will persist in the
warm sector with above normal temperatures, and continued periodic
chances for strong-severe storms over central/eastern Kansas.
Heat indices of 100-104 degrees are possible both afternoons.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

The GFS and ECMWF continue to indicate a shortwave trough
amplifying as it moves across the northern Plains/Upper
Mississippi Valley into the Great Lakes over the upcoming weekend.
This pushes a cold front southward through the forecast area
Saturday night, with an accompanying chance of thunderstorms. A
return to more seasonal temperatures is indicated behind the front
from Sunday into early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 652 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Primary aviation concern will be thunderstorm chances and
coverage this evening and overnight. Thinking highest chances this
evening will affect portions of central and north-central Kansas
(including Russell and Great Bend), as widely scattered
thunderstorms form in the vicinity of a retreating dryline, with
chances increasing further east and southeast after 10-11pm
(including Salina, Wichita and Hutchinson), as a shortwave
currently across the central/southern Rockies approaches from the
west.
