Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1211 AM CDT Sat May 19 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri May 18 2018

Potential for a nocturnal severe event looms for central Kansas.
Moist upslope flow across western Kansas late this afternoon and
diurnal heating will yield MLCAPE values around 2500 j/kg in the
presence of 35-40 kts of deep layer shear. Convergence along the
W-E oriented boundary/pseudo warm front should focus deep moist
convection in the 22z-00z time frame. This activity should evolve
upscale through the evening, aided by the strengthening low level
jet, as it moves east-northeast toward central Kansas. Despite
the modest southwest flow aloft, the storm-relative inflow and
reservoir of unstable air across central Kansas overnight should
support storm maintenance within an environment supportive of
cold pool development/bowing line segments moving across the
area. Convection originating further south over the Texas
panhandle could also affect southern Kansas overnight. While
marginal severe hail is likely, the main risk overnight should
evolve into a strong/damaging wind scenario, though perhaps
weakening a bit as it moves east of the Kansas turnpike late in
the night.

As the main upper trof begins to lift out across the central Plains
on Saturday winds aloft and deep layer shear will increase a bit
along and ahead of the effective surface cold front. While tonights
convection/mesoscale influences will have some affect on the
boundary placement, general model consensus places it along or just
west of the Kansas turnpike during peak late afternoon heating. So
expect another round of strong to severe convection Saturday evening
with all modes of severe weather possible. The upper trof will lift
slowly northeast of the area by later Sunday with a weakening
frontal boundary possibly lingering across far southeast Kansas
for remote chances for convection there.

While the airmass will remain unstable on Monday with weak return
southerly flow, the lack of forcing and weak focus will limit
chances to slight/isolated.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri May 18 2018

Another upper low over California early next week will lift north
across the Great Basin. Weak flow aloft downstream across Kansas and
an unstable southerly low level flow will limit chances for
mainly isolated, diurnally driven convection or perhaps some
nocturnal emissions drifting east from the high Plains into
central Kansas.

KED

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1209 AM CDT Sat May 19 2018

Combo of moisture transport and favorable upper support will keep
precipitation going for several more hours. Still indications for
MVFR ceilings in central KS tomorrow morning. Forecast in the
afternoon and evening is extremely challenging. Some indication
that precipitation could linger well into the day east of I-35,
preventing/limiting convection with front. Or it may be capped.
Some models develop extensive convection ahead of the front in
the afternoon. Precipitation should develop along front
eventually, but is unclear whether KGBD/KHUT or even KICT would
get that convection. As a result, will include VCTS at KHUT/KICT
but keep KSLN/KGBD out for now. MVFR are clouds anticipated in
the wake of the the front. -Howerton

347 PM CDT Fri May 18 2018

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A complex of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to develop
from western Kansas into the Texas panhandle early this evening and
move east-northeast across central Kansas late this evening and
overnight. While a few large hailstones up to ping pong ball size
will be possible, the main risk will be damaging straight-line winds
to 70 mph. The greatest severe risk will be west of the Kansas
turnpike. Storms are expected to gradually weaken late tonight as
they move into southeast Kansas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

There is a risk for strong to severe storms again on Saturday
afternoon and evening across much of the area. The greatest risk
is expected across south central Kansas and the Flint Hills.
Damaging winds, large hail and even a tornado will be possible.

Chances for thunderstorms will remain in the forecast periodically
Sunday through Thursday. While a few strong storms will be possible,
the risk for organized storms and severe weather appears low for
now.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed along and west of a Salina to
Wichita line after 9 pm this evening until about 2 am.
