NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 5, 4:02 AM CST, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 402 AM CST WED JAN 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... MAIN CONCERN STILL REVOLVES AROUND WINTER STORM CURRENTLY AFFECTING AREA. TODAY: VERY IMPRESSIVE ICE STORM CURRENTLY AFFECTING ALL OF FORECAST AREA AS I TYPE THIS. THERE HAS BEEN A WIDE VARIETY OF PRECIP OCCURRING ACROSS THE AREA. HERE AT ICT SOME SNOW STARTED TO MIX IN AROUND 11 PM OR SO, WHICH WAS FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT. SINCE THEN WE HAVE GONE FROM A MIX OF ICE PELLETS AND SNOW. FEEL THAT THIS TRANSITION WILL OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS TODAY AS IMPRESSIVE FETCH OF PRECIP EXTENDS ALL THE WAY BACK INTO NW TX. THIS AREA OF PRECIP LOOKS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMPRESSIVE COUPLED JET. SINCE THIS BAND OF PRECIP IS NOT EXPECTED TO GO AWAY ANYTIME SOON, WILL UPGRADE BOTH LABETTE AND MONTGOMERY TO WARNINGS. FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING A QUARTER INCH OF ICE AND SHOULD ALSO SEE THE SAME POWER OUTAGE PROBLEMS THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA. WILL ALSO KEEP THE COUNTIES UNDER A FLOOD WARNING GOING AS RAIN WILL STILL BE OCCURRING OVER SE KS WELL AFTER THE PACKAGE GOES OUT. THE SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT SO FAR IS THAT THE SNOW SHUT OFF OVER CENTRAL KS AS DRY SLOT HAS MOVED IN. THE ETA, WHICH IS NOT DOING TOO BAD OF A JOB WITH CURRENT PRECIP, IS SHOWING ADDITIONAL LIFT MOVING INTO CENTRAL KS TODAY. IN ADDITION SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACTUALLY TAKES A MORE NEGATIVE TILT TOWARD SUNRISE WHICH MAY ENHANCE LIFT. THEREFORE WILL KEEP WARNING IN AFFECT BUT MAY BACK OFF AMOUNTS A BIT. TEMPS WILL BE DOWNRIGHT COLD TODAY AS TODAYS HIGHS WILL OCCUR RIGHT AT SUNRISE. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL DROP WIND CHILL VALUES TO BELOW ZERO FOR MUCH OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS. TONIGHT-FRI: UPPER WAVE IS EXPECTED TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST TONIGHT LEAVING FRIGID TEMPS BEHIND. NEGATIVE TEMPS WILL BE LIKELY OVER CENTRAL KS TONIGHT WITH SINGLE DIGITS ELSEWHERE. SURFACE HIGH IS FORECAST TO SLIP SOUTH THU AND THU NIGHT AS UPPER FLOW FLATTENS OUT WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. HIGHS THU WILL CONTINUE TO BE COOL AND ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO GET CLOSE TO NORMAL VALUES BY FRI WITH NO PRECIP ON THE WAY. SAT-TUE: IF THERE IS A SILVER LINING TO THIS FORECAST IT IS THAT MILD WEATHER ARE ON THE WAY. MED RANGE MODELS STILL AGREEING ON A FAIRLY ZONAL UPPER AIR PATTERN SETTING UP WITH SOME LEE SIDE TROUGHING FORMING. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOME GOOD DOWNSLOPE FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THESE PERIODS. HAVE BEEN GOING QUITE A BIT ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR THE LAST FEW NIGHTS AND WILL CONTINUE THIS. FIND IT INTERESTING THAT GUIDANCE VALUES CONTINUE TO WARM SO MAYBE IT IS FINALLY STARTING TO GET AWAY FROM CLIMO AND PICKING UP ON HOW WARM IT WILL BE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, LEFT ALL OF THESE PERIODS DRY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
