Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
622 AM CDT Sun May 3 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 529 AM CDT Sun May 3 2020

Convection has developed a bit further south into south central
Kansas early this morning, where it is realizing much more
instability and stronger cloud-bearing shear. Dime size hail was
reported near one of the taller/stronger cores, though perhaps
slightly larger than quarter size is possible through mid-morning.

KED

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 313 AM CDT Sun May 3 2020

Main concern is precip/convective trends tonight and Monday and
potential for strong/severe storms. For early this morning, it
appears the elevated low level flow is stronger than progged
currently via the KICT-88D VWP. The implication being a bit more
lift and saturation ahead of the low amplitude wave moving across
the area. So expect continued development a bit further
southeastward across portions of central and southeast Kansas
where there is a bit more potential instability. Cloud bearing
shear may be sufficient to result in a couple of locally strong
storms with small hail through about mid-morning. This activity
should exit southeast Kansas by midday with the rest of the day
dry and slightly cooler, though seasonably mild for early May.
Otherwise, there continues to be a decent signal for the
development of elevated convection across central and eastern
Kansas late tonight into Monday morning, in the presence of
stronger warm advection/moisture transport. It is quite possible
this could evolve into a mesoscale cluster or complex with the
cloud bearing shear and instability combo supporting a few severe
storms. This activity should exit into Missouri by late morning.
The main challenge on Monday afternoon remains how far north the
effective warm front and better moisture/instability will get
before the Pacific front arrives late in the day. The GFS remains
more bullish in this regard which is reflected in stronger
buoyancy and a weaker cap across southern Kansas during peak
heating. If so, strong vertical wind shear is a given, which
continues to support a conditional risk for organized severe
storms Monday afternoon across across primarily southeast Kansas.
This will be followed by a drier and seasonably mild airmass on
Tuesday.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 313 AM CDT Sun May 3 2020

The medium range guidance still supports much cooler weather for the
end of the week as an upper low which forms over Hudson Bay evolves
into a larger vortex as it expands/moves southward toward the Great
Lakes. This will send temperatures below seasonal climo by Friday
and Saturday.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
Issued at 622 AM CDT Sun May 3 2020

Robust elevated convection will continue eastward from south
central into southeast Kansas through mid-morning. Locally large
hail and gusty winds can be expected. Otherwise, dry weather
expected in the storms wake this afternoon and early evening.
Winds will veer from north-northeast to east-southeast tonight.
Southerly elevated return flow will advect deeper moisture across
the area with chances for convection again toward the end of the
forecast valid period. While mainly VFR, localized MVFR cigs and
IFR vsbys in convection will be possible.
