Area forecast discussion, Oct 22, 12:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1246 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 313 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Key Messages Over the Next 7 Days: * Near-record high temperatures are expected through the weekend. * Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected on Sunday with very gusty winds and near-record high temperatures. * Though the forecast remains somewhat uncertain, rain chances are on the increase for Monday, especially along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike. * Potential for additional rain chances Thurs night into Friday. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday night) Issued at 313 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Today: The main concern for today will be dangerous fire weather conditions during the midday and afternoon hours across southeast Kansas. Despite a steady increase in moisture, near record high temperatures, windy conditions, and very dry fuels from exceptional drought conditions will lead to an increased potential for wildfires. These conditions should gradually come to an end during the evening hours. Sunday: A mid/upper trough will dig into the western CONUS and will be the catalyst for potentially multiple hazards on Sunday. Strong southwesterly mid/upper flow associated with the leading shortwave kicking out into the northern plains will support lee cyclogenesis over northeast Colorado and will subsequently tighten the pressure gradient. This along with deep mixing in the afternoon, especially across central Kansas behind the dryline, will likely support very windy conditions with gusts around 50 to 55 mph at times. Despite RH values in the 30s and 40s for most of the area, these gusty conditions along with near record high temps and exceptional drought conditions will likely lead to critical fire weather conditions (more details in the Fire Wx discussion below). One wrench that has been thrown into the wind forecast is the increasing consensus that better moisture ahead of the dryline will lead to increased cloud cover over the eastern half of Kansas. This could potentially limit the mixing down of stronger winds as the increased cloud cover will impede surface heating. Despite this, windy conditions are still expected in the warm sector, and wind gusts up to 45 mph are anticipated during the afternoon hours. Also, while chances remain low at this time, there is the possibility for a strong to severe storm to sneakily develop across central Kansas Sunday afternoon along the dryline. Some global model soundings show enough mid-level cooling to potentially allow for a high-based storm to develop and mix down a strong to severe wind gust near 1-70. Again this is noting the possibility, however support for this remains meager, so will continue with low PoPs Sunday afternoon near I-70. There's also a possibility for a few elevated strong to marginally storms northeast of a Salina-Emporia line Sunday night. Despite limited buoyancy, mid-level coverage should be enough to develop at least a few showers and storms, and strong shear should allow for some organization. Coverage of storms farther south and west during the evening and nighttime hours will be more isolated, though a strong to marginally severe storm also can't be ruled out for south-central Kansas Sunday night. 50 to 60 mph wind gusts and penny to quarter-size hail would be the main threats with the strongest storms Sunday night. Monday: Monday's rain forecast still remains fairly uncertain, but global models are beginning to converge on what will be the most likely scenario. Another shortwave embedded within the larger scale mid/upper trough will traverse northwest over the sweeping cold front that will be moving through the region Monday. Timing of these features will be crucial for exact rainfall amounts and location. With reasonable confidence, areas along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike will be the most likely to see appreciable rainfall throughout the day on Monday. The rainfall forecast for areas along and west of a Wichita-Salina line remains uncertain, and perhaps a bit bleak as the faster, more progressive scenario seems to be more likely. By Monday night, the bulk of the rain will push off to the east along with the advancing cold front. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 313 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Tuesday's forecast also remains uncertain, though the GFS and Euro appear to agree that the larger scale mid/upper trough will dig farther south and progress faster to the east. This will lead to the bulk of the rainfall on Tuesday to be primarily south and east of the area, though a few showers across far southeast Kansas cannot be ruled out. It should be noted the Canadian shows the mid/upper trough to progress much slower, thus this solution gives most of the area another round of appreciable rainfall, but this seems to be an outlier for now. Regardless, by Tuesday evening, the region quickly dries out, and a period of dry weather with near normal temps (highs in the upper 60s) will last through Thursday. For Thursday night through much of Friday, global models are signaling another trough digging into the Rockies potentially bringing another chance for the region to experience some wetting rainfall. However, details in the forecast this far out will likely need to be refined in the coming days. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 The main aviation concern will be gusty south winds continuing this afternoon, mainly along/east of I-135, with much stronger south winds developing Sunday areawide. Thinking gusts Sunday afternoon will reach 40-45+ kts for many, with isolated gusts 50+ kts, especially from central Kansas on west. Given the dry soils across the region, these strong winds should support patchy to areas of blowing dust/dirt and associated lower visibilities, with the greatest chance generally west of I-135. Also, for tonight through early Sunday, a strengthening low-level jet will support low-level wind shear within 2000 ft AGL areawide. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 313 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Today: For portions of central and south-central Kansas, conditions will be warm, breezy and dry with afternoon temps in the upper 80s, wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph, and RH values around 15 to 20%. Very high grassland fire danger is expected for these areas. For southeast Kansas, afternoon temperatures will be in the mid 80s, wind gusts will be around 30 to 35 mph, but it won't be as dry with RH values around 25 to 35%. Extreme grassland fire danger is expected in this area. Sunday: Extreme to catastrophic grassland fire danger is expected throughout the day. Despite RH values being a somewhat limiting factor around 20 to 40%, warm temperatures ranging from the mid-80s to near 90 and gusty winds around 45 to 55 mph working in conjunction with very dry vegetation from exceptional drought conditions will certainly lead to critical fire weather conditions. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

This will lead to elevated fire danger across the entire area Sunday, most critical from central Kansas on westward (see Fire Weather Watch for more details). Also, there is a low chance for an isolated strong to marginally severe thunderstorm Sunday evening generally west of the Kansas Turnpike. Stay tuned for later forecasts. The potential for widespread meaningful rainfall is increasing Monday through early Tuesday across the region, especially over southeast Kansas. Widespread amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible, with locally higher amounts. Please stay tuned for later forecasts. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
