Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
313 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

Main challenge in the short term will the timing and intensity
of the thunderstorm activity this afternoon and evening.  Instability
is strong with more than two grand of CAPE and 30 to 40 knots of
shear will make this afternoon and evening ripe for severe
weather. While golf ball sized hail and severe wind will be the
initial primary threat, this will transition into a wind and heavy
rain threat by the evening hours. PW is very high, generally
holding in the 1.4 inch range which is well above the normal of
0.9 inches for this time of year. Moisture transport is also
strong with good mid and upper level dynamics will make any storm
that develops this afternoon and evening a very effective rain
maker. Much of the thunderstorm activity will have very heavy rain
and will likely cause localized flooding.

Once the frontal system moves through the region late tonight, the
thunderstorm threat will come to an end. Unfortunately, this
front will not change the air mass much if at all. Temperatures
will still remain unseasonably warm and humid for the most part
Wednesday and Thursday. Storm chances for Wednesday are good as
there still is plenty of moisture available but instability,
forcing and upper level dynamics are significantly less. As such,
severe weather chances will drop off significantly Wednesday.
However, with the ample moisture available, any storms that do
develop will be capable of producing very heavy rain and some
localized flooding in the southern areas of the CWA. Thursday, the
rain and thunderstorm threat will shift a little more to the east
into the Southeastern portions of Kansas.

Metzger

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

Main challenge in the extended will be the extent of the heat for
Friday and the timing of the cold front which will bring
temperatures back down toward normal for this time of year.
Friday, a mid level ridge will encroach on the region ahead of the
cold front will southerly winds. This will allow temperatures to
approach record levels for this time of year. If the wind shifts a
little more to the west, records will become quite likely. The
front is expected to come through later. Unlike the previous
frontal system which came through Tuesday and Wednesday, this
system will likely come through dry as the moisture transport just
is not there to support significant thunderstorm development. By
Saturday, winds will shift some out of the north and west and will
allow temperatures to come back down toward normal for the
weekend.

Metzger

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1225 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

Main aviation concern will be convective trends this evening
through the overnight hours.

Water vapor imagery shows upper wave spinning over northwest
Nebraska/se SD. Outflow from morning convection pushed down into
nw OK and looks to have finally stalled and is expected to slowly
wash out. Meanwhile, sct elevated showers and storms continue
across parts of central KS in an area of very strong mid level
theta-e advection that looks to slowly shift northeast.

Storms are still expected to develop generally after 21z west of
I-135 as the main upper wave lifts out. This activity should
affect KRSL-KGBD around 21-22z and KICT around 00-01z. Heavy rain,
hail and strong winds will be possible with the stronger storms.

1245 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

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

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and Tonight

Chances for thunderstorms will increase this afternoon across
central Kansas and become likely by early this evening along and
west of the Kansas turnpike. Severe storms capable of damaging winds
to 70 mph, large hail to golf ball size will be possible. There will
be a brief window for a tornado early this evening southwest of a
Kingman to Wellington line.

A larger complex of storms is expected to move southeast from
central and south central Kansas into southeast Kansas overnight.
While a few strong to marginally severe storms will be possible, the
main risk later this evening and overnight will be the potential for
minor lowland flooding due to heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Chances for storms will diminish or end early Wednesday before
returning Wednesday night through Thursday night. A few strong
storms are possible Wednesday night across south central and
southeast Kansas.

Heat and humidity will increase across the region late in the week,
with heat index values at or above 100 degrees possible during the
afternoon hours on Friday across much of the area.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is possible late this afternoon and evening,
generally for locations along and west of the Kansas turnpike.
