Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
542 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017

GOES water vapor channels readily indicate a strong
shortwave trough across the central Rockies early this afternoon,
with a mid-level dry slot (associated with mid-level speed max) from
Arizona/New Mexico northeastward into southwest/central Kansas. A
quasi-stationary front extended from eastern Nebraska to west-
central Kansas, to a surface low in far southeast Colorado. A
corridor of anomalously rich Gulf surface dewpoints around 70
degrees fahrenheit stretched from western/central Oklahoma up into
central Kansas. Partial to strong insolation/heating was
contributing to increasing instability along the frontal zone.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017

Main forecast concerns: Severe thunderstorm potential late this
afternoon/evening in central/south-central Kansas, and locally heavy
rainfall/flooding potential through tonight mainly in central
Kansas.

The strong shortwave will translate eastward across the Central
Plains tonight into early Saturday, which will result in the frontal
zone moving southward as a cold front across our forecast area. Mid-
level cooling, increased upper-level diffluence, and low-level
convergence along the front, will allow for scattered severe storms
developing initially near the surface low by late afternoon, then
spreading northeastward into central Kansas by early this evening. A
few of these initial storms may be supercells through about 00-01
UTC, given west-southwesterly shear vectors of 45-50 knots above a
moderate instability axis. Large hail, damaging winds with bowing
segments toward the northeast, and perhaps a tornado (mainly
southwest to west-central KS) could accompany the supercells. As the
deep layer shear vectors back to southwesterly (more parallel to the
cold front) and moisture transport strengthens dramatically
along/ahead of the front early this evening, storms should congeal
into a quasi-linear line of strong-severe storms, with the main
threats likely transitioning to heavy rainfall particularly in
central Kansas, and strong-severe wind gusts. The severe threat
should diminish by late evening as instability wanes, but an
organized line of thunderstorms will continue to move southeastward
across south-central and southeast Kansas overnight. The storms
should be exiting southeast Kansas early Saturday morning. Will
maintain the Flood Watch for central Kansas where 1-3 inches of
rainfall is possible, with much of the watch area having received
about 300% normal rainfall over the past 5 days.

Slightly cooler and much drier air will filter into the region in
the wake of the cold front Saturday into Saturday night. Sunday
looks pleasant as winds becoming light southerly with temperatures
warming slightly above normal via full sunshine.

The next strong shortwave trough/upper low is progged to move out of
the south-central Rockies across the Central/Southern Plains Monday-
Monday night. A much stronger cold front is indicated with this
system, which will bring a chance of showers and isolated storms
Monday into Monday night. A large temperature contrast is likely
from northwest to southeast across Kansas Monday afternoon, which
makes the high temperature forecast very challenging, depending on
exact frontal timing. In general, the southeast half of the state
looks warmer than normal, with cooler than normal air in the
northwest behind the front.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017

Cooler than normal temperatures with clear skies are expected behind
this system for Tuesday-Wednesday, before temperatures moderate late
in the week to slightly above normal. Another upper trough will
carve out across the western states late in the week. Precipitation
chances with this system could enter the picture toward the
weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 539 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017

Main concern is of course thunderstorms and timing. Thunderstorms
will likely be ongoing at start of forecast at KRSL/KGBD.  Brief
period of MVFR or IFR likely with heaviest rain but that should be
short lived. Gusts of 35-40kt are very likely at most sites.
Some gusts in the 50-70 knots range will also occur but
location/timing are problematic. Front should make good progress
across the area with precipitation clearing Southeast KS around
daybreak. Drier air/downslope flow and subsidence in wake of
shortwave should result in clear skies towards end of the period.
