Severe Thunderstorm Warning 236, NWS Wichita, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
233 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023

A cold front was bisecting northwest Kansas early this afternoon
where northwest winds were gusting over 30 knots. Meanwhile,
elevated showers and storms with pockets of heavy rain remained
across much of eastern Kansas. These elevated storms were being fed
by continued mid-lvl waa. Although this mid-lvl waa is progged to
diminish in areal coverage we may see it continue impacting
southern KS and southeast KS through the evening hours before the
mid/upper trough axis sweeps across the area. With some breaks in
the clouds this afternoon, moderate to strong destabilization should
lead to some increased potential for redevelopment late in the day
along any residual outflow boundaries. Showers and thunderstorms
will be most likely along a southward moving cold front this evening
as a shortwave trough sweeps across the Central Plains. We'll see
increasing large-scale forcing for ascent as the shortwave trough
approaches and the entrance region to the H25 jet develops this
evening. Shear and buoyancy combinations will support severe storms
with heavy rain potential given warm layer cloud depth
approximations of 4000-4500 meters and PWATS over 2 inches.

Mon-Tue...A stable post-frontal regime will overspread the region on
Mon with seasonably cool highs around 80 anticipated. This airmass
will begin to modify on Tue while remaining seasonably cool with
highs in the 80-85 degree range anticipated.

Wed...Southerly low level flow will return to the Central Plains
towards the middle of the week as sfc high pressure translates
eastward away from the area. Shortwave ridging will help start the
warming trend with highs on Wed returning to more typical Aug
temperatures. Afternoon values are expected to range from the upper
80s in far southeast KS to the lower 90s in central KS.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023

A shortwave trough impacting the Great Lakes area will drive a
weak backdoor front into the area on Thu but it is expected to
have a limited impact on sensible weather with seasonable highs in
the lower 90s anticipated. The subtropical ridge will overspread
the region towards the end of the week and into the weekend
bringing hot and dry weather back to the Great Plains. Highs are
expected to climb above the century mark this weekend with very
little chance for wetting rain. This hot and dry pattern may
extend into the beginning of next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1151 AM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023

Elevated convection will linger thru mid-afternoon across portions
of central and southeast Kansas. Otherwise, a better chance for
organized strong to severe convection is expected to develop along
a strong cold front late this afternoon through early tonight.
While mainly VFR away from convection, expect MVFR/IFR vsbys in
rain with strong and gusty outflow winds. A prevailing north to
northwest wind will become gusty behind the front.
