Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 550 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Thunderstorms likely through tonight, some of which will be severe. All severe hazards are possible. - Slight risk of a few severe storms eastern KS Sunday PM. - Off-and-on thunderstorm chances return Tuesday afternoon through Thursday night. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 316 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 Thunderstorm mode has ended up being rather messy so far given meridional component to mid-upper flow, multiple storms on the scope, and multiple storm mergers. This should tend to limit how many storms are capable of "higher-end" severe weather. However, strong low and deep layer shear coupled with moderate to strong instability will continue to favor a severe weather threat, especially over southeast Kansas were the airmass has been relatively undisturbed (outside of dense anvil debris). In this area, favorable low-level shear, low-level instability, and low cloud bases will support tornadoes with any embedded supercell or QLCS structures. Damaging winds are also possible. The large hail threat (anything greater than golfballs or so) will likely be confined to cells that remain more discrete. Another area of concern is north-central Kansas, where a slowly northward retreating boundary is situated. Any cells that can become rooted along this boundary will ingest rich low-level shear along/just north of the boundary, and be capable of all severe hazards (including tornadoes). Additional storms may develop this afternoon-evening up and down the dryline across western portions of KS-OK, with this activity then tracking rapidly northeast. There's some concern that current widespread storm coverage and associated dense anvil cirrus east of the dryline will limit instability and associated storm potential along the dryline. However, if storms are able to form, CAPE/shear combination will support all severe hazards with this activity, especially if storms can remain more discrete. A third round of storms may develop by later this evening over western and central portions of KS-OK, ahead of approaching upper forcing and mid-level cooling. The primary threat with this activity would likely be 60+ mph winds (if storms are able to become severe) given the stronger forcing and increasingly unfavorable hodographs. Another threat we don't want to forget this afternoon through tonight is heavy rainfall and localized flooding, especially from roughly the KS Turnpike corridor on southeast, as numerous thunderstorms continue to train northeast. Pockets of 1-3+ inches are likely, and may fall in a short period. Consequently, areas of street and low-land flooding are likely, along with modest to sharp rises in area streams and rivers, again mainly along and southeast of the KS Turnpike. For Sunday, a few strong to severe thunderstorms will remain possible over eastern KS, generally along and east of the Flint Hills corridor, as the dryline continues to advance east. If a storm or two is able to form (they may struggle due to decreasing forcing), hail and wind would be the primary threats. Taking a look ahead...an off-and-on active weather pattern thunderstorm-wise looks to take shape once again Tuesday afternoon/evening through Thursday night. Stay tuned, as we continue to refine forecast details the next several days. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/... Issued at 550 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 TSRA is expected to continue in the CNU vicinity through 03Z with - RA expected afterwards to 12Z. Elsewhere, potential for convection remains low enough to not warrant any specific mention in the TAF but if it occurs, it looks most likely during the 07-12Z timeframe near HUT and ICT. MVFR to potentially IFR cigs are possible towards daybreak at RSL, SLN, and GBD with highest confidence at SLN. Brief lowered vsbys are also possible but confidence is not as high. Southerly winds will gradually become northerly to westerly with gusts to 25kts returning tomorrow afternoon. && .ICT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Some of the storms will be severe, capable of baseball size hail, winds greater than 75 mph, and tornadoes. The greatest severe weather threat should occur before midnight. Locally very heavy rainfall will also impact mainly southeast Kansas, supporting pockets of flash flooding of streets, roads, and low- lying areas. Modest to sharp rises in area streams and rivers are possible as well. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday An isolated strong to severe thunderstorm or two will remain possible Sunday afternoon and evening, mainly along and east of the Flint Hills. The main threats will be quarter size hail and 60 mph winds. There will be more off-and-on chances for thunderstorms across much of the area from late Tuesday through Thursday night. There is some risk for severe weather, stay tuned for later forecasts. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is likely through late this evening. && For a graphical version of this information, see our webpage at: https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=ict
