Area forecast discussion, Aug 26, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 644 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night) Issued at 243 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 Expecting scattered storms to develop along the frontal boundary later this afternoon/evening over southeast Kansas, as deeper frontal circulation allows updrafts to breach the cap. Combination of very unstable airmass and 40-50kts of effective wind shear aloft supports higher end severe weather with very large hail/damaging winds as the primary threats. A tornado is a possibility especially if a storm updraft can encounter the outflow boundary that has pushed westward into southeast Kansas from Missouri storms via latest visible satellite imagery. Below normal daytime highs and dry weather will prevail for Tuesday/Wednesday, as drier and relatively cooler air spreads southward over the central plains. Richer gulf moisture will stream back northward into Kansas on Thursday. The combination of low-level upslope flow of this returning moisture and a southward moving cold front across Nebraska should set the stage for storms to develop in southwester Nebraska. These storms look to spread southeast with northwest flow aloft pushing this activity towards central Kansas either late Thursday night or Friday. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday) Issued at 243 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 Unsettled weather pattern looks to be shaping up for Friday and Saturday, with long range models showing a couple upper level waves in the northwest flow affecting the region. This will bring decent chances of thunderstorms to the area with dry weather on tap for Sunday and Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 644 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 Scattered strong to severe convection will affect southeast Kansas this evening as a cold front moves south across that area. Stratocu bases/cigs while mainly VFR may briefly drop into MVFR category behind the front across central/south central Kansas this evening. Otherwise, north winds will advect drier air across the area later tonight and Tuesday. Some altocu bases/cigs are expected on Tuesday. KED && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
