Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
923 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 923 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

Diurnally driven convection, along a diffuse outflow boundary has led
to convection propagating to the NW towards the convective complex
currently moving east out of NW KS. The bigger concern, now, is the
strong/severe complex of storms moving E into KHYS and what is the
path of this complex of storms late this evening and overnight.

Current RAP propagation vectors suggest that this complex will
continue to move E-SE as it progresses into central KS, possibly
taking more of a turn to the SE with time towards McPherson and
Marion, as the complex follows the main instability axis to the SE.
Could see damaging winds along the bowing segment with heavy
rainfall as well, given the very unstable airmass.  After
coordination with SPC, gonna issue a SVR Watch for portions of
central KS for the damaging wind threat.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

Morning convection which moved across the southern Flint Hills
has evolved into a decent MCS this afternoon across eastern
Oklahoma. This has stabilized much of the area in the wake of
the outflow boundary which arches from central Oklahoma into
portions of southwest Kansas. This will focus the more robust
convection west of the forecast area late this afternoon. As the
weak mid-level flow becomes more northerly this evening, it may
tend to keep much of this convection from developing/moving too
far east into central Kansas. However, airmass recovery is
expected within the reservoir of elevated low level moisture
across central and eastern Kansas later this evening, so will
expand slight/modest PoPs overnight. Weak northerly flow aloft
looks to be maintained across the area through Independence Day
with instability axis across eastern Kansas. While chances for
organized convection look low, cannot rule out a few storms the
next few days. Temperatures should average near or slightly above
early July climo, though will likely stay just below the 105 heat
advisory criteria.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

Upper ridge will retrograde across the Southwest CONUS late in
the weekend through early next week as weak troughing over the
high Plains migrates across the area. This may provide modest
precip/convective chances across the area.

KED

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 700 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

Diurnally driven convection continues across south central KS and
extreme SE KS at this time.  Most of the convection is flirting with
the KHUT/KGBD and KCNU taf sites.  Current propagation of the south
central KS storms, are moving to the NW, towards the KGBD taf site.
So will go with VCTS for the KGBD and KHUT taf sites.  Will also
include VCTS for the KCNU taf site, as outflows from the convection
to east of CNU may propagate back to west.  Think most of the
convection is diurnally driven, with most of the convection expected
to wane a couple of hours after sunset.

VFR conditions are expected overnight into Fri.

There is another chance of isolated storms across south central KS
on Fri afternoon. For now, will not include a VCTS in for this
chance, as pinning down the location of any storms is too far out to
pinpoint just yet.
