Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
614 PM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

Tonight:
A few showers/thunderstorms have flirted with northeast fringes of
the forecast area this afternoon. These isolated storms developed
in same axis as storms did yesterday. High res models show this
waning as convergence and convective focus shifts to
quasistationary boundary just north/northwest of forecast area.
Anticipate storms to develop on front shortly, with watch to
follow. Storms will gradually develop and spread southeast during
the night. Decent window for severe storms this even in central
KS, where 2000 J/kilogram MLCAPE and some middle level shear will
exist. Severe hail possible if discrete storms can develop on
front, but microburst winds are more likely along with some cold
pool gusts, especially early on. Later tonight instability
diminishes and expect storms to weaken towards daybreak, but given
upper support, do expect them to persist all night. 1.0-1.3 inch
rainfalls probable in parts of central KS where slow movement,
training and respectable precipitable water are likely. Forecast
amounts are less than half of the one hour flash flood guidance so
flood watch was not indicated, although would not be surprised if
an areal flood warning was issued.

Wednesday:
Rain/storms will persist on Wednesday as main lobe of energy
rotates around upper low, which should push front across all or
most of the eastern half of forecast area. Some strong/severe
storms possible ahead of the front, depending on amount of
instability which is less than certain. NAM MLCAPE is around 1600
J/kilogram at 2100 UTC while GFS is closer to 1000 J/kilogram.
Appears to be a lower end severe threat at this point.

Thursday-Friday:
With upper low continuing to rotate moisture into area, chances
for showers and storms will persist on Thu. Better chances will be
in eastern half of forecast area, while temperatures will be
highly dependent on amount of clouds, which is less certain, but
do anticipate highs well below normal. Some clearing Thu night but
middle level return flow may trigger some elevated precipitation
along western edge of forecast area. -Howerton

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

Uncertainty is high over the weekend due to zonal flow aloft and
chaotic/weak flow at the surface. Location of any surface boundary
is suspect and convergence would likely be weak. Meanwhile
ripples in upper flow will likely trigger storms over the high
plains which may or may not reach the forecast area before
dissipating. Precipitation chances should ramp up Monday-Tuesday
as next upper low moves into the high plains making nocturnal
storm a bit more likely. -Howerton

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 600 PM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

Aviation concern will be storms tonight.

Storms developed along the cold front late this afternoon and have
become more widespread over western KS but have been very slow to
move east. Additional storms are tracking out of eastern CO and
are associated with a decent upper wave rotating across the
Rockies. Feel that storms should stay west of our CWA for the next
couple of hours but will be on the move once the shortwave
approaches. Confidence is high that KGBD-KRSL will be affected
before 05z with storms then diving southeast eventually affecting
KHUT-KSLN-KICT generally after 06z. KRSL-KGBD will have the best
chance to see some severe storms with downburst winds and hail the
main threats. Heavy rain will also be likely with any of the
stronger showers and storms.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Central Kansas,
South Central Kansas and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Thunderstorms will develop late this evening in central Kansas and
spread southeast during the night. Severe storms are possible this
evening roughly northwest of a line from Salina to McPherson and
Hutchinson. Winds to 65 mph and heavy rain are the main threats. Any
stronger storms that are isolated this evening could produce up to
golf ball sized hail. Strong storms are possible over the rest of
the area overnight, with winds to 50 mph and heavy rain the main
threat.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Storms will persist on Wednesday, with some severe storms possible
in the afternoon roughly east of I-35. The stronger storms could
produce winds to 65 mph and quarter sized hail.

Multiple rounds of storms are possible from Thursday through
Monday. Strong to severe storms are likely sometime during the
period. It is difficult to pinpoint times and locations of severe
threats during the period. However storms in general will be more
likely during the late night and early morning hours.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

There is slight chance of spotter activation northwest of a line
from Salina to Great Bend this evening.
