Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1213 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 1 2018

The moisture is in the air with dewpoints in the lower 60s across
the eastern two thirds of Kansas. A distinct dryline can be
noticed on satellite imagery with cumulus starting to develop
along this line from Stockton to Sublette.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 1 2018

Highlight: These next few days are the beginning of the severe weather
season for the Plains. Take precautions. Monitor the forecast for
updates. Be ready to take shelter.

Evening/Tonight - The concern for this period has increased with the
set-up of the triple point in central Kansas. Right now the focus
of concern is still across central Kansas specifically in the
north central region into eastern Nebraska; however, it is
possible that more of south central Kansas could be impacted.
Supercells are expected this afternoon with coverage allowing for
discrete cells to quickly become upscale and potentially be long
lasting given the moisture rich environment off to the east and
influx of jet support. These storms are going to be off to the
races with speeds of 40 mph. It is possible that there could be
hail as large as baseballs, a significant tornado and 70 mph
winds. Hodographs for the late afternoon into the evening for the
mentioned area support the higher concern for tornadic potential.
SPC has upgraded this area to a moderate risk for the evening, and
a Tornado Watch has been issued. If you live in the watch area, be
ready to heed any issued warnings. Models are currently
indicating a brief window in time for storms across the county
warning area with an exit by 10 PM.

Wednesday - A similar set-up is in store for Wednesday, but a greater
storm coverage is expected. This could cause interference among
the storms which would then diminish the magnification of the
hazards compared to today given the more discrete nature. All
severe hazards (very large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes) are
arguably still in play. The tornado threat may lower though.
However, this does not mean that one will not occur. It appears
that south central Kansas could be the highlight area for tornadic
potential if activity develops further apart initially. The game
will be when the cap will break which is still expected in the mid
to late afternoon time frame. Depending on where the dryline sets
up, the entire county warning area could have potential for
severe weather. While initially the threat would be large hail, a
transition to a damaging wind threat may occur depending on the
evolution of the convective mode. This activity may stick around
into the overnight.

Thursday - Another day of potential severe weather with the shift
being further to the east. The area would be east of I-135.
Depending on the evolution of storms on Wednesday, southeast
Kansas would still have a decent shot for storms. The main threats
could be large hail and damaging winds. There are certainly many
balls still in the air for this scenario because of the convection
from the previous two days.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 1 2018

This trough surely does not want to move out as it lags across the
eastern portions of the Plains into Saturday. A ridge will follow
in behind this trough leaving a nice Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures in the 80s with relatively little wind by KS
standards are going to make a fantastic start to the first weekend
of May. Outdoor activities should be part of the weekend
festivities. There is another wave still poking its head for the
end of the weekend to the start of next week. Chances of
precipitation have been modified to latter in the period or the
late Monday night into Tuesday timeframe. There is still time and
adjustments likely in the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1213 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018

S winds sustained ~20kts with 25-30kt gusts will continue to
spread rich moisture across KS throughout the night. MVFR CIGS are
likely thru tomorrow morning but breakage in the cloud deck should
ensue late in the morning as heating increases. With a stationary
front setting up from Srn IA, thru C & SW KS to along the CO/NM
border, SVR TSRA are likely across C & SC KS Wed afternoon. These
SVR TSRA are capable of very large hail, 52-65kt winds & tornadoes
so watch the forecast closely.

Severe thunderstorms should be more numerous on Wednesday afternoon
and Wednesday evening. Hail around the size of golfballs, 60 to 70
mph winds and a few tornadoes are all possible.

Another round of severe thunderstorms is possible Thursday afternoon
for locations roughly east of the turnpike. This activity will
depend on the evolution of Wednesday's storms. The most likely
threat would be hail and damaging winds.

A few thunderstorms are possible Monday in central Kansas, but these
are not expected to be severe at this time.
