Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1114 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 903 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

Strong cold front continues to push south across the forecast area,
with gusty N-NW winds for most locations except extreme SE KS. Most
of the surface based instability has dropped south of the forecast
area into NE OK, but some lingering elevated instability, around 500-
1000 J/KG, continues to linger over SE KS. Latest short range RAP
doesn't show alot of low level moisture transport over the top of
the shallow post frontal air, so having my doubts on whether areas
east of the KS Turnpike will see any showers or storms late this
evening. But with the lingering instability still around and some of
the high rez CAMS showing a chance of post frontal showers, will
keep some pops across SE KS for a few more hours. Think chances will
diminish or end after 06z.

Ketcham

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

There is a narrow/very conditional window for convection along
the cold front early this evening in far southeast Kansas, though
despite modest instability, strong shear would support a locally
strong storm. Some post-frontal elevated convection seems possible
though associated with cooling aloft late in the evening aided by
lift/forcing from the approaching PV anomaly and some mid-level
frontogenesis. Otherwise, the main story into Wednesday and
Thursday will be the strong, deeply mixed, nearly unidirectional
northwesterly flow regime across the area on the backside of the
deepening low evolving across the Great Lakes. A very dry airmass
characterized by steep/dry adiabatic lapse rates up through
680-700 mb will support a solid Wind Advisory along/west of the
Kansas turnpike and High Wind Warning for the higher terrain of
Russell/Barton counties. See Fire Weather section for details on
wildfire concerns. It looks to remain a bit windy/breezy into
Friday as well with temperatures averaging below climo for the
latter part of the week.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

The medium range supports a return to milder southerly flow on
Saturday with transient ridging aloft across the area between the
departing eastern conus trof and upstream low/trof over western
Canada into the far northwest conus. The latest trends support
more agressive troughing across the western conus into early next
week, especially the ECMWF, with an eventual frontal boundary
sagging southward into the area. Exactly how this plays out with
regard to precip/convective chances and temperature trends is
still uncertain, though there is potential for a more active
weather pattern even just beyond day 7.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1113 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

strong gusty winds continue behind a strong cold front that has
pushed south of the area into OK. Mid level baroclinic zone behind
the front has led a few mid level sprinkles.  So will add a VCSH for
the KICT/KCNU and KHUT tafs for a few hours until this area of
saturation shifts further south.  Otherwise VFR conditions are
expected.

Strong and gusty winds will return for Wed, with NW winds expected
to gust to 40 to 45 kts for the afternoon hours.  Could see some
blowing dust (BLDU) with the stronger wind gusts across central KS,
which may lead to minor vsby restrictions on Wed afternoon across
central KS.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 247 PM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022

** Extreme Fire Danger expected Wednesday and Thursday **

A few hours of very high grassland fire danger is likely late this
afternoon behind a cold front across portions of central Kansas,
along and northwest of a Lincoln to Great Bend line.

However, extreme grassland fire danger is expected on Wednesday
afternoon across central and south central Kansas, with potential
for catastrophic fire danger for locations along and west of a
Lincoln to Hutchinson line. Northwest winds are expected to gust
over 50 mph with lowest daytime humidity values around 20 percent.
Strong northwest winds are expected again on Thursday with
critical fire danger possible again.
