Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
645 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

The main low pressure system is over the Northern Plains with a
portion stretching back to the Great Basin. A cold front associated
with this system has stretched from the Texas Panhandle to along the
central Kansas/Oklahoma border into central Missouri. This front
will be the focus for convective development this evening. There is
initial development visible in western Oklahoma. A Severe
Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for a few counties in south
central Kansas, and this area may be expanded to the east and north
depending on further convective development. If you have outdoor
plans this evening, make sure to stay weather aware and have an idea
of where you would take shelter if needed. When thunder roars, go
indoors.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

Highlights:

1) Showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday

2) Localized flooding through early Thursday

3) Cooler

Change: Modified precipitation chances tonight-Wed

Headlines:

1) Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 10PM
2) Flood Watch thru midnight Thursday

Showers and thunderstorms are expected through Wednesday. The cold
front as mentioned above should be the initial focus for convection
this evening with short term models showing storms moving
in/expanding in coverage around 5-7PM. SPC did tweak their outlook
for today removing the enhanced risk from southeast Kansas with the
better threat in western Oklahoma and parts of the Texas Panhandle.
Potential still exists for strong to severe thunderstorms with the
possibility of up to golf ball sized hail and 60 mph winds in south
central and southeast Kansas. Initial supercells could pose the
potential for a tornado, but the threat is quite low. The activity
is expected to fill in and become more linear. Elevated storms will
become the factor to the north and west of the front late this
evening and tonight.

Localized flooding is a concern especially across south central and
southeast Kansas with the possibility of training showers and storms
over those areas. Precipitable water values are on the increase. The
Flood Watch covers this well. Most locations where the heavier
rainfall is expected received minimal if any precipitation in the
last 24 hours. This will become the concentrated area for this
evening and tonight with potential for one to two inches; however,
thunderstorms can certainly overachieve on precipitation amounts.
Thus locally higher amounts are anticipated. Models disagree on the
coverage for Wednesday which in turn challenges when chances will
move out. General consensus is that precipitation should be gone by
Thursday morning. Precipitation chances have been tweaked somewhat
to better account for the latest trends.

Cooler air moves in for Wednesday through Friday with Wednesday
being the coolest day of the week thanks to rain and cloud cover.
Afternoon temperatures are forecast to range from 10 to 20 degrees
below seasonal normal on Wednesday when highs range from the lower
60s to mid 70s. Thursday and Friday should be a bit warmer as a
ridge moves in, but the temperatures are still forecast to be about
5 to 10 degrees below normal. Only minor changes were made to the
ongoing forecast.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

Highlights:

1) Weekend warm up

2) Chances for showers and thunderstorms

After a cooler week, the weekend will offer a warm up but
essentially near the seasonal normal values (lower 80s). Models are
showing a couple of short waves through the weekend. This could
bring chances for showers and thunderstorms. These waves don't look
very impressive at this point. There are chances for showers and
storms throughout the extended. If you have outdoor plans for the
weekend, stay tuned as changes are likely. Minor tweaks were made to
the extended part of the forecast as the ongoing one appeared mainly
representative.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 630 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

Storms will become more numerous for tonight with some severe
storms possible across mainly southern Kansas. The storms will
also be capable of producing heavy rainfall. Meanwhile low cigs in
the MVFR category or possible IFR category is expected during the
night time hours across south central/southeast Kansas.
