Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
345 PM CDT Sat May 19 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat May 19 2018

Forecast Headline/Highlight:
Severe thunderstorms primarily with both large/very large hail and
damaging winds likely across south-central & southeast KS until
late this evening. A couple tornadoes are also possible.

Tonight:
This afternoon a SE-moving cold front was nearing the KS Turnpike.
The front is approaching a moisture-rich environment that combined
with sufficient heating, is causing rapid destabilization across
south-central & southeast KS. Severe thunderstorms are erupting
along the front from northern OK to southeast KS. At 3 PM CDT, the
front extended from south-central IA, to along the KS Turnpike, to
the western Red River. The front is being driven by a weak mid-
upper level shortwave that extends from central Nebraska to
central CO. With the shortwave shearing as it moves E/NE, the
front should decelerate this evening & perhaps stall as it
ventures into eastern & southern OK late tonight. This would
slowly shift the axis of strong & severe thunderstorms SE as the
night progresses. The mid-upper shortwave will couple with the sfc
front to promote increasing & deepening speed & directional shear
to trigger severe thunderstorms, especially along & southeast of
the turnpike. With the strengthening deep-layer shear, hail may
reach around 2 inches along with winds that may reach around 70
mph. There continues to be concern that a few tornadoes may form,
perhaps as far west as the turnpike. The front's presence will
produce a fairly sharp NW-SE temperature gradient with lows from
around 50 at KRSL & KGBD to around 65 in southeast KS.

Sun & Sunday Night:
The decelerating front dictates increasing PoPs across southeast
KS, especially Sun morning. With the front decelerating, a few
showers & isolated thunderstorms may redevelop just south of the
OK state line Sunday night, so wouldn't be surprised if slight
chance PoPs are assigned near the OK line on the next couple
forecasts.

Mon-Tue Night:
There should be a brief intermission from thunderstorms as a mid-
upper wave, which'll deepen rapidly near the Pacific Coast Mon
Night, undergoes pronounced cyclogenesis early next week. This
would cause amplification of a mid-upper ridge over the Great
Plains. The mid-upper pattern deamplifies Tue & Tue night as a
shortwave ejects E/NE across the central Rockies. This may enable
a few thunderstorms to develop Tue night.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat May 19 2018

Southwest mid/upper flow is progged to return as we move through
much of the upcoming week. This will help steer any subtle
shortwave troughs into the area bringing additional chances for
showers and thunderstorms through much of the period. Above
normal temperatures are also expected with highs around 90.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1256 PM CDT Sat May 19 2018

Once again thunderstorm activity is the primary concern for this
forecast period. There has been some shower development in
central KS which would impact KRSL and KGBD for the next couple of
hours. The cold front is on the move and winds are beginning to
swing to the north. This frontal boundary and an outflow boundary
are going to be the source of thunderstorms closer to 0Z. Tempo
groups have been inserted for each site for the highlighted time
periods of greatest potential based on the latest model guidance
as well as IFR conditions given the expected heavy rainfall. Amendments
are certain once the initialization occurs.

As the front moves through and mentioned above, there will be a
shift in the wind direction. This could occur sooner than
currently in the forecast. A gradual trend has been indicated for
now. Ceilings are expected to drop behind the precipitation and
fall to the MVFR category and stay there for the latter part of
this forecast.
