Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
256 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

Short term forecast remains rather active and has under gone some
decent changes from previous runs.  Short term models are having
difficulty resolving the event for this afternoon and tonight as the
long wave trough is beginning to move through the region.  Previous
runs had a slower progression with the main trigger for this
afternoon thunderstorms and likely severe weather being driven the
mid level short wave that is now moving through the region.  New
model runs are now showing a much more progressive long wave trough
which is now in phase with the weaker shortwave trough over the
western portions of Kansas.

There are two main areas of contention between the models at this
time with the lack of agreement on the moisture transport and
resultant moisture axis being the most prominent.  The GFS is much
weaker on the moisture transport and keeps the bulk of the transport
further to the south in Oklahoma while the NAM is more bullish.  The
NAM solution brings a prominent moisture axis into Central Kansas by
this evening which would support a significant round of thunderstorm
activity with a good portions of it severe in nature.  Upper level
winds are much better this time round and 12Z analysis charts have
300mb winds in the 45-55kt range providing some decent exhaust for
thunderstorms to work with.  The short range CAMS are also in
significant disagreement on the thunderstorm focal point and many of
them turn the thunder off shortly after sunset tonight for much of
the CWA. This does not seem likely but could see the severe weather
abate by this time if the model predictions of the 300mb winds
weakening during the late afternoon and evening which would keep
the chances for severe weather down in the evening hours. Currently
looking for some thunderstorm activity during the evening hours in
South Central Kansas with a good chance some of it will be severe
but it is expected to be more isolated.

Monday and Tuesday will have the long wave trough pushing further to
the east which will kick the winds around to the north and west and
will bring the temperatures down some as well.  The moisture
transport looks to remain well to the south by this time as the long
wave through and the northerly flow will keep it out of the region.
This does not mean we will be completely out of the thunderstorm
business but is it unlikely that severe weather will return for
Monday and Tuesday.  This northerly flow and likely lingering cloud
cover will keep temperatures down for Monday and especially Tuesday.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

The change in the short term models has also forced a change in the
extended range.  The extended now looks to be a little warmer than
previous runs but also a little more active.  The frontal boundary
looks to want to stall to the south of the region which will keep
the chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. Intensity
of this activity can't be determined at this time due to how far out
this activity is.  That said, orientation does indicate there could
be some chances for strong to severe thunderstorms with some of this
activity.  Temperatures will seasonable and become hot but the
proximity of thunderstorm activity will keep the temperatures down
and prevent them from getting too far above normal if at all.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1244 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020

Extremely challenging aviation forecast with persistent ongoing
storms in central KS. These have not be reflected in models, and
lends considerable uncertainty on timing/track of storms later
this afternoon/evening. Given instability across the area, would
expect storms to affect all sites at some point. Overall thinking
is that these storms may not die and continue a slow upscale
growth to the south. The alternative scenario is these storms
eventually dwindle with renewed second round developing later this
afternoon/evening. Anticipate VFR outside of storms. -Howerton
