Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
644 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

There is a trough in the Desert Southwest with another wave closer
to the Pacific Northwest. These two features are the focus through
Sunday and will bring a myriad of weather scenarios to the CONUS
with wintry precipitation/snow in the Northern Plains and a
potential outbreak of severe weather in the Southeast. Stay
weather aware on Sunday. Temperatures rose nicely to the mid 70s
to lower 80s across Kansas. Hopefully you are able to get out and
enjoy it today as a stark contrast will move in on Sunday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

Highlights:

1) Strong to severe thunderstorm potential this eve and Sunday
afternoon
2) Windy on Sunday with wintry precip possible in central KS
3) Falling temperatures on Sunday and cooler for start of week

Challenges:

1) Sunday's temperatures - timing of cold air infiltration
2) Sustained wind speed and respective gusts

Changes:
1) High Wind Watch to High Wind Warning as well as Wind
Advisory
2) Winds increased further into evening/overnight Sunday

Headline: High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory for Sunday

Tonight-Sun:

Slight chance for some elevated showers/storms this evening but
given quality of moisture return early on, not overly impressed with
chances for more than a storm or two. Winds staying up a bit and
dewpoints on the increase, temperatures be quite mild overnight.
Front may push a bit north this evening then accelerate south
overnight. Timing of the front (and resultantly temperatures)
will be challenging as usual. Went with the faster model solutions
overnight. Fairly decent clustering of positions by 1800 UTC
Sunday, and leaned towards a bit faster than the midpoint, which
was close to the Canadian. This has the cold front in the vicinity
of KICT at 18z with a very large temperature gradient. Steep
lapse rates will allow good mixing and momentum transfer, so
hoisted high wind warning for areas along/west of flint hills and
advisory in southeast KS. Strongest winds may not occur until
very late afternoon when low level lapse rates improve. - Howerton

Monday-Tuesday

A wave is expected to move across Monday night-Tuesday which
could bring in chances for a wintry mix late Monday night into
early Tuesday morning along the Kansas and Oklahoma border. These
chances are comparable to the previous forecast issuance with
tweaks in the longevity or diminishing the window for
precipitation. Rain with possibly a mix of rain and snow then snow
are the anticipated precipitation types based on the current
thermal profile. Modifications may be made to the chances and
precipitation type depending on the latest guidance. A couple of
locations may flirt with a record cool high on Monday (Chanute) or
a record low temperature on Tuesday (Russell).

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

Highlights:
1) Cool start then gradual warm up

2) Chances of precipitation at end of week and next weekend

Overnight and morning temperatures are expected to hover from the
mid 20s to lower 30s thru Wednesday which will result in multiple
days of frost and possible hard freeze. This is certainly a
challenge for the agricultural and irrigation communities as well
as those who decided to get a head start on their planting this
last week given the temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Don't worry
as a warm up is anticipated for the latter part of the forecast as
temperatures should return to near seasonal values next weekend
which are in the mid 60s.

Another trough should move through at the end of the week into next
weekend. Models are in disagreement on the timing, location and
strength of this system. Thus there are many uncertainties at this
time. The GFS has back to back waves in advance of the main system
while the ECMWF focuses on one system. With some moisture transport,
there could be precipitation; however, it is too early to have any
reasonable confidence given the model resolution variability.
Chances for precipitation have been adjusted somewhat with this
forecast issuance. Stay tuned for further changes.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 632 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

Aviation concerns will be storms this evening along with low
ceilings late tonight. Attention then turns to very strong NW
winds Sun.

Storms developed this evening as deeper moisture surged north and
intersected a dryline. At this time, fairly confident that storms
will miss our TAF sites this evening. Low clouds are expected to
develop late tonight as moisture continues to surge north. KICT-
KCNU-KSLN will have the best chance to see IFR cigs after 09z.
Strong cold front will surge through the entire area Sun, moving
through KRSL around 14z and KICT around or shortly before 18z. The
main story with this front will be the extremely strong winds
behind it. We are expecting sustained winds in the 30-40 mph range
with 50-60 mph gusts.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 345 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

Strong and gusty winds on Sunday will be a big factor in elevating
the Grassland Fire Danger Index to the very high category west of I-
135 despite the continued green up. While the High Wind Warning
highlights the speed component, the passage of the cold front will
create an added challenge as the directional component changes
from the south to the north. Outdoor burning should be avoided and
extra care should be taken if you are handling anything that
could/is creating sparks. Any fire that gets started would be very
challenging to contain.

443 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Central Kansas,
South Central Kansas and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated thunderstorms are possible this evening mainly across
central and south central Kansas. Any storm that develops could
be capable of wind gusts up to 65 mph and half dollar sized hail.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

A cold front will move across the area Sunday bringing strong north
winds gusting as high as 45 to 60 mph. Check the High Wind Warning
and Wind Advisory for additional details. The strong winds may be
accompanied by a wintry mix and reduced visibility in the northwest
corner of the state. At this time, only minor accumulations of ice
or snow are expected. Very high grassland fire danger is possible
west of I-135 as a result of the high winds.

Thunderstorms will be possible again on Sunday afternoon and evening
primarily across southeast Kansas. Once again, a few of those
storms could be strong to severe with wind gusts up to 65 mph and
half dollar sized hail.

Widespread frost and or freeze appears likely early next week for
most, if not all, of the area. A wintry mix of rain and snow may
occur on Monday night into early Tuesday along the Kansas and
Oklahoma border. Minimal if any accumulation is expected. There is
potential for wintry precipitation at the end of the week in central
Kansas.
