Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
312 PM CDT Mon Mar 28 2022

...Significant Fire Danger Possible Tuesday...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 306 PM CDT Mon Mar 28 2022

* Spring storm to bring multiple hazards to the area Tuesday/Tuesday
  night

Early this afternoon, low pressure continues to slowly deepen in the
lee of the Rockies in advance of a well-defined, and deep, upper low
that is currently moving ashore along the California coastline.
Meanwhile, a developing warm front extends southeast from the SFC
low, and stretches from the TX/OK Panhandles through southern OK and
on into northern Louisiana. As the upper low moves inland, a broadly
diffluent flow aloft combined with the exit region of the upper jet
and increasing mid-level height falls will support a more rapid
deepening of low pressure in the lee of the Rockies through Tuesday.
This will act to increase the low-level flow across the Southern and
Central Plains, pulling the warm front north into northern Kansas by
Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, a plume of very dry air over the High
Plains, currently characterized by dewpoints in the single digits
and teens, will get pulled northeast from eastern New Mexico into
western/central Kansas Tuesday afternoon as a strengthening
southwesterly flow develops south of the deepening SFC low. The
drying will only be further enhanced by downslope effects. Lastly, a
developing cold front will eventually sweep slowly southeast across
central/eastern KS Tuesday night-Wednesday morning, finally clearing
the area by early Wednesday afternoon. This will be a classic, multi-
hazard mid-latitude spring storm to impact the Plains. Let's break
down the various threats.

Likely the most notable hazard with this event will be fire weather.
A strong, southwesterly low to mid level jet will overspread the
warming and drying airmass in the wake of the dryline, setting the
stage for a dangerous fire day along and south of I-70 and along and
west of I-135. How far east the threat extends will depend on how
far east the dryline gets. Model guidance generally agree on the
above-outlined area, but there's some potential for this threat to
extend as far east as a line from Salina to Wichita. It should be
noted that, conceptually-speaking, this matches with research on
higher end fire days for this region, so please understand that this
fire event has the potential to be a more significant one. Forecast
soundings behind the dryline all point towards very deep mixing,
with moderate to strong winds within the mixed layer supporting
wind gusts of 50+ mph. It's entirely plausible that there will be
some wind gusts near 60 mph where the deepest mixing occurs
beneath the strong, SW mid-level jet. East of the dryline, the
wind speeds/gusts will be more gradient-driven, but even with
shallow to modest mixing, should still support a widespread area
of 35-50 mph wind gusts. A Wind Advisory will be issued where the
potential for 45+ mph gusts is the highest. Of note, a small High
Wind Warning may eventually be needed if the potential for 55-60
mph gusts increases behind the dryline. A Red Flag Warning will be
issued where the best overlap of wind and dry air will be, and
where confidence in dangerous fire conditions is the highest. A
Fire Weather Watch will be in effect where dangerous fire
conditions are possible, but where confidence is lower due to
uncertainties with how far east the dryline will mix. Lastly, the
above-mentioned cold front moving through, which accompanied by
higher humidity values, will keep dangerous fire conditions going
longer than normal into the evening due to the impact the wind
shift will have on any ongoing fires.

Now to the convective side of this event. A sharpening dryline will
setup from roughly Salina south through Wichita, and then on south
into western Oklahoma. Along/east of the dryline, modest boundary
layer moistening beneath steep lapse rates may support 250-750
MUCAPE during peak heating. Strong low-level warming will lead to a
fairly stout capping inversion. However, perhaps enough low-level
convergence could support some high-based showers/thunderstorms mid
to late afternoon. While weak, any shower or storm that develops
could mix down some strong wind gusts given the strong winds aloft.
Later Tuesday evening through Tuesday night, an 120kt upper jet will
nose into the destabilizing warm sector, providing increased large-
scale forcing for ascent. The jet will take on more of a meridional
orientation, with a coupled jet structure developing. This will lead
to increasingly stronger lift with time through the night. Warm
temps aloft will continue to be a limiting factor for deeper
convection, but with time, cooling aloft plus the increased lift,
and continued low-mid level moistening should allow an increased
risk of convection, especially as low-level convergence increases
along the advancing cold front. Where this overlap occurs is still
somewhat uncertain, but generally appears to be focused east of the
KS Turnpike. Where convection develops, shear parallel to the SFC
boundaries should lead to a quick clustering of storms and, as SPC
noted, should lead to more of a linear mode with time. Where
shear/instability is maximized, sporadic instances of large hail and
damaging wind gusts will be possible. It still looks like the
tornado threat is low this go around, especially given a less than
favorable storm mode and weaker instability. That said, should
moisture and instability end up higher, a low-end tornado threat
could occur.

Forecast-wise, there weren't many changes from the previous forecast
shift. The main change was to lower dewpoints a bit further behind
the dryline, mainly due to the dry air already in place to the west
just waiting to get pulled into the area. Otherwise, the forecast
and potential hazards look good.

On the backside of this system, strong north winds will bring much
cooler air into the area, along with a continued risk of showers and
possibly a few sub-severe thunderstorms.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 237 AM CDT Mon Mar 28 2022

Lingering central CONUS longwave troughing will support continued
seasonably cool temperatures through Thursday. By Friday afternoon
through Saturday morning, deterministic and ensemble consensus
supports increasing rain chances across the forecast area, as a
potent upper shortwave traverses Mid-America. Moisture/instability
appear limited with this next system, so not expecting strong or
severe storms, although degree of forcing may support widespread
modest rainfall amounts. A warming trend is expected by Sunday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1231 PM CDT Mon Mar 28 2022

VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours. Low-mid level
moisture will gradually return overnight, but most of the Cigs
associated with the increased moisture will be in the mid levels.
With the increasing low level jet, expect low level wind to also
increase across the forecast overnight as well.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 306 PM CDT Mon Mar 28 2022

* Significant fire danger possible Tuesday

Strong, southwesterly winds (possibly gusting 50+ mph) will
overspread a dry to very dry airmass in the wake of a dryline
Tuesday afternoon and evening, supporting dangerous fire
conditions. The potential exists for this to be a more significant
fire weather day for areas south of I-70 and west of I-135. A Red
Flag Warning has been issued where confidence in the most
dangerous fire conditions is, while a Fire Weather Watch is in
effect for areas where the potential exists, but isn't as high as
further west.
