Area Forecast Discussion

557 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2019

...Updated aviation discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 153 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2019

Convection developing across northern Kansas still looks likely
this afternoon ahead of a approaching 400mb PV anomaly and where
the better moisture and instability will be preset during the mid
to late day. This area of developing afternoon storms will move
southeast overnight across western and central Kansas as the
upper level wave moves along the mid level baroclinic zone. At
this time the CAMS seem to agree that this developing cluster of
storms will march south along and east of highway 283 during the
overnight hours. At this time am little concerned that this may
be a little too far east given the instability axis and 10-14c
700mb temperature gradient from the RAP earlier this afternoon.
Have therefore favored the highs chance along and east of HWY 283
but also will be keeping some higher pops going further west, just
in case.

CAMS also seem to be in decent agreement with the timing of this
event with a few isolated to widely scattered late day/evening
storms followed by the main cluster of thunderstorms after sunset.
Given the instability and shear late day/early evening these
isolated/widely scattered storms will be capable of producing
large hail (+2 inches) along with strong gusty winds. The threat
of severe weather will then shift to strong winds and heavy
rainfall after sunset as the main cluster of storms overnight
pass. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour possible which may
lead to some localized flash flooding.

The bulk of the overnight convection will be tapering off east of
a Larned to Coldwater line early Sunday morning as an upper level
trough moves into Central Kansas. Subsidence behind this upper
level trough will also bring clearing skies from west to east.
Based on clear skies and 850mb temperatures at 00z Monday the
highs Sunday afternoon are expected to comb back into the 90s
across much of southwest Kansas. Highs only in the 80s are
expected where the clouds will clear out last and that will be
east of a Dighton to Dodge City line.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 153 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2019

An upper level trough embedded in a northwest flow will move
across the northern plains late Sunday night/early Monday. As this
upper level system moves east into the Western Great Lakes Region
late Monday a surface cold front will move across southwest
Kansas. Exact timing of this frontal passage is still somewhat
unclear but ahead of this cold front the highs on Monday will be
in the lower 90s while north of this boundary some cooler 80 to 85
degree high temperatures will be possible.

A few scattered thunderstorms will also be possible late day
along this cold front. If the models are correct with the frontal
position by late Monday, then the area most favorable for these
storms will be near the Oklahoma border and across south central
Kansas.

This cool down early next week may be around for several days
given that both the GFS and ECMWF agree with another upper level
trough moving across the Northern Plains Tuesday which will bring
a reinforcement of cooler air into the Central Plains. Along will
the cooler temperatures continuing mid to late week there will
also be a chance for scattered rain showers or thunderstorms mid
to late week.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 557 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2019

Thunderstorms are expected to develop and move across southwest
and central Kansas through the evening into the overnight hours.
There is uncertainty as to expected coverage, especially over the
far southwest Kansas terminals, but any storms that develop in
this area will likely be severe with 50+ knot winds, damaging hail
and possible tornadoes. Farther east the Dodge City and Hays
terminals could have better chances of being impacted by storms
with the same severe weather threats. The storms should be moving
southeast out of the region by 067-07z with MVFR to IFR stratus
developing across much of the area later tonight into Sunday
morning.
