Severe Thunderstorm Warning 190, NWS Wichita, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
603 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 312 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023

Currently have northwest upper flow from the Northern Rockies down
through the Central Plains and into the Ozarks. Meanwhile, a broad
upper low stretches from Central Ontario into the Northern Great
Lakes region. At the surface, cold front extends generally along
I-80 across Iowa and Nebraska with high pressure across the
Northern Plains.

Will be a difficult convective forecast today as there will be a
couple different opportunities for development. First, a tight mid
level baroclinic zone will remain across the forecast area with
some decent isentropic lift and convergence along it. Plus, once
you get above 800mb, capping looks minimal. So would not be out of
the question to see some storm development in the next few hours.
Additional storm will be possible this afternoon along a sagging
cold front over northeast KS/north-central MO with this activity
tracking southeast this afternoon. With a great shear profile, any
storm that can develop will have the potential to produce hail.

Some shortwave energy is expected to move out of the Central
Rockies and into Nebraska tonight which is expected to spark an
MCS that will track southeast across northeast KS/northern MO Tue
morning into the early afternoon. The big story for our forecast
area on Tue will be a return of extreme heat. Confidence is high
that heat index values will be in the 105 to 110 range for areas
generally south of I-70. Latest guidance does have the cold front
moving into central KS which may keep the extreme heat out of a
handful of counties. Confidence is high enough at this point to
run with an advisory for Tue.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 312 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023

There is good model agreement that shortwave energy will track
out of southern Saskatchewan and into the Northern Plains by Wed
morning. This will allow a cold front to sink down into the area
and will bring storm chances to the area for Wed night. These
storm chances will linger into Thu and Thu night as the front
lingers across the forecast area and we also remain in northwest
flow aloft. The better rain chances will push south and west for
Fri through the weekend with the bigger story being much cooler
temps. Highs Fri through the weekend area expected to be in the
80s, with Fri being the coolest of the 3 days.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning)
Issued at 559 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023

Patchy fog will dissipate near SLN near 12Z. Otherwise, decaying
showers aren't expected to impact the terminals. Storm chances
will continue across the entire area through the day but
confidence in timing/location is too low for any mention at this
point. Winds will remain predominately from the east for the
central KS TAF sites and south to southeast for the remaining
sites.
