Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
629 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

An upper level low is located over northeast Iowa this afternoon,
At the surface, a weak frontal boundary/trough extends from Iowa
southwest into southern Kansas. The cluster of thunderstorms that
developed ahead of this boundary earlier this morning continues to
push E/SE across our far eastern counties at this time. These
storms will continue to pose a damaging wind threat as they clear
the area.

In the wake of this activity, satellite and radar imagery show a
residual outflow boundary draped across parts of southern KS.
Recently, this boundary has shown signs of shifting NE as
southwesterly low/mid level flow ensues. At the same time, upper
level ridging is beginning to build in from the Four Corners
region. The question, then, is whether or not convection can
redevelop along this boundary. The better upper level forcing will
be east of the area, suggesting at least some subsidence in its
wake. This along with some mid level height rises may be enough to
keep a lid on any additional convection. That said, the increasing
low/mid level flow/warm air advection this evening combined with
at least some weak surface convergence along the boundary may be
just enough to allow a few thunderstorms to develop. For now,
we'll keep lower-end pops in the forecast to account for this
potential. If any storm were to develop, it would be in an
environment favorable for severe thunderstorms, primarily capable
of damaging wind and large hail. The key takeaway here, though,
is the threat of any redevelopment is very much conditional and
confidence remains low.

Beyond today, the main concern will continue to be the heat as the
upper level ridge continues to build east across the
Central/Southern Plains. Temperatures warming well into the 90s to
near 100 combined with dewpoints in the 70s will allow heat
indices to near or exceed 105 both Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons, especially east of I-135. For now, we will leave the
current area highlighted in the Heat Advisory as is as this is
where the best chance of seeing those higher dewpoints/heat
indices is. Increasing southwesterly winds may promote better
mixing by Thursday/Friday, with the threat of 105+ heat indices
being more focused across SE KS. After coordination with
surrounding offices, it was decided to extend the Advisory into
Thursday afternoon. However, the western tier of counties may be
able to be dropped from this advisory Thursday afternoon if the
somewhat lower dewpoints pan out. - Martin

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

Medium range models continue to remain in good agreement regarding
the eastward shift of the upper ridge and the development of a WRN
US trough. This should lead to an increased risk of thunderstorms
over the weekend along with a subsequent decrease in temperatures
(albeit, slight). - Martin

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 627 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

Isolated thunderstorms will continue to develop over eastern
Kansas for this evening then should gradually diminish after 06z.
Meanwhile VFR conditions will prevail across the region with
light south winds in the morning gradually increasing.
