Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
652 PM CDT Wed May 4 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Current satellite water vapor imagery shows a vigorous shortwave
over the Rockies, with this shortwave expected to move east into the
plains tonight through Thu. Warm advection and low level moisture
transport has led to, off and on, showers and embedded
thunderstorms across southern KS, with the latest RAP showing
persistent moisture transport. Rich Gulf moisture associated with
this moisture transport has led to very efficient rainfall
producers with some areas already picking up 0.5 to 0.75 inches of
rainfall.

Could see a slight lull in the moisture transport for the early
afternoon hours, before its ramps back up this evening and
especially after midnight.

When it comes to severe weather potential, looks like the warm
sector and warm front will stay well south of the area, situated
closer to the Red River in OK, which will keep the severe weather
threat south of the area. But expect deep moisture transport over
the top of the warm front for a good overrunning and elevated
storm event, with skinny CAPE sounding profiles and some elevated
instability. So could a few strong storms, with a very small hail
threat.

The strong moisture transport combined with precipitable water
values running 190 to 200 percent of normal, and a coupled upper jet
structure favors efficient rainfall, and heavy rainfall potential.
So expect periods of moderate to heavy rainfall overnight through
early Thu morning. Expect to see widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to
3 inches across the region, with the potential for some areas in
extreme SE KS seeing 3 to 5 inches of rainfall. Possible flooding is
the main concern. Current location of the flood watch looks right
on track, but gonna expand the watch on the northern edge by a few
counties, considering rainfall that has already fallen. Expect to
see some areal flooding and possible river flooding overnight
into early on Thu, especially over the Flint Hills and SE KS.

The upper low, becomes vertically stacked early on Thu, which will
lead to lingering wrap around clouds/precipitation over the area
through Thursday along with cool below normal temperatures. There is
some concern for renewed convection along the east-northeast
quadrant of this upper low, for the Flint Hills and SE KS for Thu
afternoon with clearing from the mid level dry slot allowing good
sunshine/destabilization on the edge of deeper moisture plume. The
alignment of upper level low/surface low resembles a favorable cold
core setup. If this signal is maintained by the models there would
be small "window of opportunity" for low topped strong/severe
thunderstorms or even some cold core tornadoes in the 0-3km CAPE
axis aligned with surface vorticity area.

Otherwise, the precipitation will taper off Thursday night as main
upper low shifts east into Missouri valley region. Dry weather and
near normal temperatures look to be in store for area on Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Saturday looks to be a dry weather day with above normal
temperatures. Meanwhile, pattern recognition from medium range
models are hinting at a very strong 700mb baroclinic zone residing
over western Nebraska extending east into northern Kansas Saturday
night. This combined with decent upslope of richer moisture in the
surface-850mb layer towards western Nebraska looks to spark off
convection in the models Saturday evening. This convection would
then travel eastward along the 700mb mid-level baroclinic zone in a
forward propagating mode, as low level jet veers out leading the
convective development. At this time, models are showing this
activity possibly clipping central Kansas or remaining north of the
area late Saturday night. Something to monitor for any shifts in the
models with this signal which could result in severe weather.

Otherwise warm and more humid conditions look to prevail for Sunday
into Tuesday with richer Gulf of Mexico moisture in place. Some
medium range models are showing a frontal boundary pushing southward
into this rich moisture which could generate thunderstorms over the
region for Tuesday afternoon or Tue night.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 651 PM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Widespread MVFR and IFR this evening may transitions to
predominately IFR and LIFR as we move through the overnight hours
with multiple rounds of showers and storms bringing heavy rainfall
to much of south central and southeast Kansas. East and northeast
winds will keep abundant boundary layer moisture in place so
locations that are not raining may see more LIFR with low cigs while
conditions improve to IFR under the showers and storms although
visibilities may keep LIFR the predominate flight category
through much of the night and into the morning hours on Thu. A
cold front will eventually arrive across the area on Thu ushering
in northwest winds and some drier air which may help to mix low
cigs out from west to east late in the day tomorrow.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Flood watch has been expanded a few more counties to the north,
given rainfall that has already occurred. Scattered showers and
storms will continue late this afternoon and become more widespread
late this evening into tonight. Widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall
is expected with a few locations in southeast Kansas having
