Area Forecast Discussion

640 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020

...Updated Aviation Section...

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020

Late morning mesoanalysis would suggest a severe weather risk
across SW Kansas this afternoon/early evening. Dewpoints in the
mid 60s across the central zones have established a respectable
axis of instability, with MUCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg, already as of
late morning. Moisture convergence along a weak frontal boundary
is expected to get a few storms initiated by 3 pm, and effective
bulk shear will support some supercell structures given the ample
CAPE. SPC has upgraded the NE 1/3 of SW KS to a slight risk (15%
wind/hail probability), and we will update social media messaging.
The area of greatest concern is the NE/east zones, where
convergence on the weak frontal boundary, and enhanced
shear/backed surface winds will come into play near the remnant
outflow boundary from this morning's convection. It is NWly flow
in late June in western Kansas, and you have to be ready for the
"NW flow surprise/mesoscale accident". That said, overall forcing
for ascent is weak at best. Given this, we are confident to see
some storms, but coverage should be isolated. Given an isolated
supercell, hail up to 2 inches in diameter is possible.

South winds will remain elevated tonight, as boundary layer mixing
is maintained by a low level jet (850 mb/2000 ft agl winds to near
50 mph). As such, temperatures will struggle to fall to the mid to
upper 60s by sunrise Thursday.

The Kansas wind machine returns on Thursday, after a several day
break. Mid level flow will become zonal/westerly, which will in
turn deepen a 996 mb leeside surface cyclone near Goodland by
7 pm (per 12z NAM). Progged pressure gradients near 10 mb across
SW KS will support south wind gusts near 40 mph. Daylight hours of
Thursday appear dry, with scattered thunderstorms at least near
the northern zones Thursday night. Afternoon temperatures in the
mid 90s will be typical Thursday afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 155 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020

The best chance of thunderstorms during the long term continues to
focus on the Friday/Friday night time frame, when the relative
maximum in pop grids from NBM was retained. 12z ECMWF continues to
suggest MCS generation in the western Kansas vicinity Friday
afternoon, and maturing into an MCS into eastern Kansas Friday
evening.

Over the weekend, modest westerly midlevel flow Saturday will
become SWly on Sunday, in response to a strong 554dm closed low
diving into Oregon by 7 pm Sunday. At least isolated late day
convection is most likely across the eastern zones Saturday.
Sunday through Tuesday, closed low over the Pac NW slowly
dissolves into a broad trough per 12z ECMWF, making very little
progress eastward. Flow over the plains will remain SWly early
next week, but models suggest a weak nebulous flow, with probably
occasional weak shortwaves embedded. The moisture and instability
of late June will be there, so will need to determine thunderstorm
coverage/intensity on a day to day basis. There is little
convective predictability that far out, but it is clear the
afternoons will be hotter early next week, with maximum
temperatures in the upper 90s/near 100 Monday and Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020

Scattered thunderstorms were ongoing across portions of mainly
central Kansas early this evening at the onset of this TAF period,
with some thunderstorms attempting to back-build into Ford County.
This could affect the DDC terminal through the mid evening hours,
so we will maintain VCTS for DDC. We will keep the rest of the
terminals HYS, GCK, LBL free of thunderstorms in the TAF given
lower confidence and expected coverage. A nocturnal low level jet
will develop in the 45-50 knot range, leading to low level wind
shear concerns overnight. Strong south-southwest surface winds
will develop on Thursday with sustained winds in the 20 to 25 knot
range and gusts above 30 knots.
