Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
738 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018

The current forecast remains on track with multiple consecutive
rounds of heavy rain anticipated through Tue as a mid/upper trough
approaches slowly from the west. Efficient rainfall production is
anticipated as we remain within the moist tropical plume with PWATs
running 200+ percent of normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018

Tonight-Monday night...Surface cyclogenesis is underway across the
Southern High Plains which will allow the warm front to continue
mixing slowly north across the area this evening and tonight. As
moisture is advected into central KS, areas of fog appear likely.
Increasing low level flow will serve to transport low level moisture
north across the area tonight with more widespread coverage of
showers and storms anticipated with continued mid-level
waa/isentropic upglide tonight and through the day on Monday. The
more focused heavy rain potential through this period may be along
and west of the Kansas Turnpike region where the frontal zone is
progged to stall. We may see a handful of strong storms Mon-Mon
night with steepening mid-level lapse rates and increasing deep
layer shear but heavy rain is expected to remain the primary
threat.

Tue-Tue night...The mid/upper trough is progged to emerge over the
Central Plains states on Tuesday and Tuesday night. The cold front
will finally begin to march eastward across the area clearing
southeast Kansas Tuesday evening. Some scattered showers may linger
into the overnight hours, but the threat for additional heavy rain
should rapidly come to an end from west to east as we move through
the overnight hours on Tue. Once again, we may see a handful of
strong or marginally severe storms along and ahead of the front on
Tue but the primary threat will continue to be heavy rain and
flooding concerns.

Wed-Wed night...A stable post-frontal regime is anticipated across
the area on Wed as high pressure settles over the area in the wake
of the trough with dry weather and seasonably cool temperatures.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018

The mid/upper flow is progged to become more zonal and progressive
with another shortwave trough progged to move across the area
late in the week bringing additional chances for showers late Thu
into early Fri. This system will be followed by another
progressive clipper system over the weekend which will provide a
reinforcing shot of cool air and only low probabilities for light
precipitation.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 735 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018

IFR/LIFR anticipated at most sites through midday Monday.
Threat of storms and modest instability will be primarily east of
I-35 this evening as diffuse warm front lifts slowly north. Some
improvement anticipated at KCNU/KICT in the morning, with
KHUT/KSLN improving around midday. KRSL will be slowest to
improve. Widespread IFR/LIFR is probable north of warm front.
