Severe Thunderstorm Warning 174, NWS Wichita, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1218 AM CDT Sun Jun 9 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 304 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

Main focus continues to be convective chances/trends associated
with the strong cold frontal passage late tonight/Sunday and
then the much cooler/below climo temperatures thru early next
week. Kansas will remain on the southern edge of the stronger flow
and lift associated with the upper trof which will move from the
northern Rockies this evening across the northern Plains through
Sunday. The surface cold front and dry-line will focus strong to
severe convection across the central high Plains at peak heating
from southwest Nebraska into northwest Kansas. Convective
clusters/linear segments with potential for damaging winds and a
mesoscale cold pool should develop east-southeastward later this
evening. The development of a modest low level jet/elevated
moisture transport may help sustain convection into central Kansas
overnight. However, warmer temperatures aloft may tend to
cap/suppress further southward propagation/movement into south
central Kansas until closer to sunrise Sunday morning. The main
hazards overnight remain strong to locally damaging winds and
marginal severe hail for locations generally along/west of K-14 in
central Kansas. The flow aloft remains somewhat diffluent on
Sunday with weak elevated instability lagging behind the surface
cold front moving across the forecast area. This should allow
convection to fester Sunday morning and perhaps redevelop into the
afternoon until the mid-level baroclinic zone/front shifts south
and drier low-level air advects into the area by Sunday evening.
This will set the stage for an unseasonably cool Monday after
morning lows either side of 50F in central Kansas. A shortwave
upper trof is still progged to drop southeast in the developing
northwest flow regime across the Plains Tuesday/Tuesday night.
Despite rather modest moisture, relatively cool mid-level
temperatures and decent lift with the approaching trof/front, will
continue to show modest chances PoPs.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 304 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

The upper trof/low will continue to amplify/deepen over the Great
Lakes/Upper Ohio Valley Wednesday/Thursday with a dry and cool
northwest flow regime across Kansas. The flow pattern will then
transition to more zonal late in the week with the influence of
westerly perturbations over the eastern Pacific moving across the
western CONUS into the Plains. This in combination with the eventual
northward flux of moisture/warmer air back into Kansas looks to set
the stage for increasing precip/convective chances again.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1216 AM CDT Sun Jun 9 2019

Main challenge continues to be timing of convection. Only minor
tweaks to previous forecast, with storms most probable at KRSL,
KGBD and KHUT with chances falling a bit at KSLN and KICT. Timing
of storms based on consensus of most probable models. Gusty winds
anticipated in wake of front with brief period of MVFR ceilings
also likely. Conditions should improve in the afternoon. -Howerton

346 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Thunderstorms will develop across the High Plains of western Kansas
this evening, eventually moving east and then southeast, and then
potentially impacting central Kansas around midnight and portions of
south central Kansas before dawn. The primary threats will be
strong wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph and hail from dime to quarter
size. The greatest risk looks to reside across central Kansas,
mainly along and west of highway K-14.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Widely scattered to isolated thunderstorms may linger on Sunday,
especially in the morning. A few strong storms and some with
locally heavy rainfall will be possible, mainly west of I-135.

There is a chance of thunderstorms late Tuesday afternoon through
Tuesday night and then again Thursday night through Friday night.
The risk for organized severe weather appears low for now, though a
few strong storms will be possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight.
