Area forecast discussion, Aug 23, 2:56 PM CDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 256 PM CDT Mon Aug 23 2021 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night) Issued at 256 PM CDT Mon Aug 23 2021 Main challenge/concern is the more intense heat and humidity combo the next few days across the area. Center of the upper ridge and heat dome will build northward into Kansas through mid-week. It appears a bit more southwesterly flow from the high Plains and mixing in the afternoon will allow for lower dew points across western portions of central and south central Kansas. So despite hotter temperatures, the heat indices may be closer to the actual air temperature. Not so for locations along/east of the I-135 corridor and after inter-office collaboration, plan to extend the heat advisory in time and space through Tuesday. The heat looks unabated through mid-week under the upper ridge over the area. It is quite likely that the heat advisory may be extended or even upgraded to a warning for parts of the area, depending on the expected surface dew point forecast. Darmofal .LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday) Issued at 256 PM CDT Mon Aug 23 2021 There is some hope for tempered cooling or "less hot" temperatures sometime over the weekend, as a series of more progressive upper trofs move from the northwest across the north central conus. This may allow for a cold front to slip southward into and across Kansas though maybe not until Sunday or Monday and also bringing precip chances as well. KED && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Mon Aug 23 2021 Main aviation concern will be some wind shear tonight. Currently have upper trough digging over the Pacific Northwest with southwest upper flow extending from the Desert Southwest through the Plains. Confidence is high in VFR conditions continuing across the area through the next 24 hours. The only concern will be some low level wind shear tonight with southwest winds by around 2,000ft in the 40-45kt range. Gusty southwest winds will be in place Tue with many sites gusting over 30 mph. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
