Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1245 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Sat Aug 17 2019

Similar to yesterday, elevated convection continues to fester over
southeast Kansas this afternoon. Another surface outflow boundary
from the early morning convection has weakened across northern
Oklahoma. Pressure perturbation in its wake has resulted in
stronger southerly flow again, and should advect richer surface
moisture/dew points northward into southern Kansas during the
evening. Convective inhibition may weaken enough to allow for
a few storms to develop into far southern Kansas, though better
chances this evening across northwest/north central Oklahoma.
Any surface based convection will be capable of down-burst winds
and hail. Otherwise, perhaps deja vu again for late this evening
and overnight, with high Plains convection rolling east-southeast
across north central into eastern Kansas with mainly a strong to
damaging wind threat. Lingering elevated moisture transport on the
veered/waning low level jet Sunday morning should keep convection
going mainly along/east of the Kansas turnpike. A secondary weak
cold front is progged to drop south across Kansas and position
roughly along the turnpike corridor by late afternoon. This
should be the focus for late day and overnight convection into
Sunday night. The upper ridge will build in over the central
Plains on Monday with warming aloft likely squelching convective
potential or limiting to isolated activity. Dew points look to
also turn-up as well as the heat, resulting in heat indices at or
above 105 across southern Kansas. Tuesday looks even hotter with
the highest heat indices along and east of I-135. A heat advisory
will be considered with later forecasts.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Sat Aug 17 2019

Deeper troughing from eastern Canada across the Great Lakes from
Wednesday into Thursday will allow a decent cold front and cooler
air to advect south across the Midwest and portion of the Plains.
This will send temperatures back closer to seasonal climo with
modest precip/convective chances along the frontal boundary over
the area. Somewhat less confidence on the sensible weather late
in the week, though fairly seasonal with muted chances for
measurable precip.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1245 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2019

Multiple (+)TSRA, several that are SVR with 50-60kt gusts, surging
ESE ~40kts in a training manner from around KHYS thru KEWK to near
KEQA. The training cells are being sustained by a SSW 40-50kt LLJ
that continues to inject ultra-rich moisture into KS. (+)TSRA will
impact nearly all areas thru 10-12Z with the TSRA clearing KCNU at
12Z. Vsbys as low as 1SM & cigs ~2,000ft have been encountered
where +TSRA are occurring. Once the (+)TSRA clear KS this morning
VFR would prevail in all areas.

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated thunderstorms will remain possible over the Flint Hills and
southeast Kansas through early this evening. The storms are not
expected to be severe.

Isolated storms are also possible across Kingman, Harper and Sumner
counties this evening. If so, these storms will be capable of
damaging down-burst winds and hail.

A better chance for thunderstorms will exist overnight a bit further
north across central Kansas, which may move into parts of southeast
Kansas toward dawn. The main threat will be damaging straight-line
winds to 70 mph and hail up to quarter size.

Locally heavy rainfall and minor lowland flooding is possible with
any storms this evening or tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Chances for thunderstorms will continue on Sunday, mainly along and
east of the Kansas turnpike. Strong to severe storms will be
possible, mainly during the late afternoon and evening.

Heat indices will range from 100 to 104 degrees on Sunday afternoon
across south central and southeast Kansas.

Intense heat is anticipated during the afternoon hours on Monday and
Tuesday with heat indices from 100 to around 108. The highest heat
indices on Monday are expected across south central and southeast
Kansas and generally along and east of a Salina to Wichita line on
Tuesday.

Periodic chances for storms will return from Tuesday night through
Friday with the best chances on Wednesday and Thursday. Strong to
marginally severe storms will be possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is a remote possibility this evening and tonight.
