Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 8:47 PM CST, 1 hour 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 947 PM CDT WED JUN 29 2005 .UPDATE... ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DIMINISH ACROSS CENTRAL KS AS DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST, HOWEVER LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE TONIGHT WHICH COULD SPARK OFF RE-NEWED DEVELOPMENT LATER ON. RE-DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE FAVORED NEAR THE 850MB FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH CURRENTLY BISECTS THE STATE FROM SW KANSAS TO NE KANSAS. WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS IN CENTRAL KS WHICH WILL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THIS 850MB BOUNDARY, AND TAPER THINGS OFF TOWARDS SOUTHERN KS. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVY RAIN ESPECIALLY IF STORMS REMAIN ALONG THE BOUNDARY, AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS OUT WITH A WEAK SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO CORFIDI VECTORS. && JAKUB --------------------------------------------------------------------- .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 335 PM CDT WED JUN 29 2005/ .DISCUSSION... CHALLENGE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL. FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM WEST OF CONCORDIA, SOUTHWEST THROUGH HAYS THEN JUST NORTHWEST OF GARDEN CITY. DECENT CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT, EVIDENT IN INCREASING CUMULUS/TOWERING CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT, AS CONVERGENCE CONTINUES, COUPLED WITH SLIGHT MID-LEVEL COOLING ALONG SOUTHERN FRINGE OF STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. MEAN MIXED LAYER CAPES ARE AROUND 2000 J/KG AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS AROUND 20-30KTS, SO SEVERE STORMS AND MARGINALLY WEAK SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WILL BE POSSIBLE. DAMAGING WIND (DUE TO HIGH LCLS) AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. FRONT WILL CONTINUE SAGGING SLOWLY SOUTH TONIGHT, BUT UPPER FORCING WILL SHEAR WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. CONSEQUENTLY, NOT ENTIRELY CONFIDENT OF THUNDERSTORMS LASTING THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. HOWEVER, WITH STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET, CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD REMAIN SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES GOING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL, AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY LATE TONIGHT. THINKING SEVERE CHANCES WILL DIMINISH SOME AFTER DARK, BUT HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE AS LOW-LEVEL JET VEERS AND SLOW-MOVING STORMS BACKBUILD TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. MORNING AND THEN LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER MAINLY SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA, AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGS A BIT FURTHER SOUTH. SEVERE CHANCES LOOK FAIRLY SIMILAR TO TODAY, JUST FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST. AS PREVIOUS FORECASTER ALLUDED TO, HIGH PLAINS THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONGEAL INTO AN MCS OR TWO AND MOVE EAST/SOUTHEAST ALONG LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY GRADIENT/STALLED FRONT OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF KANSAS OR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. COULD SEE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY FRIDAY MORNING, BUT THE AFTERNOON LOOKS TO STAY MOSTLY DRY. HOWEVER, DID KEEP SLIGHT CHANCES IN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR WASHED OUT FRONTAL REMAIN. HOWEVER, ELEVATED STORMS COULD MAKE A RETURN BY FRIDAY NIGHT, AS LOW-LEVEL RETURN FLOW COMMENCES. MAY SEE MORE ACTIVITY SATURDAY NIGHT, OWING TO AFTERNOON HIGH PLAINS ACTIVITY VENTURING INTO CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER DARK. COULD VERY WELL BE INTRODUCING POPS FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, AS GFS AND ECMWF ARE HINTING AT PROGRESSING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HELD OFF TO GET A BIT MORE RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. DID NOT MAKE MAJOR CHANGES INTO MID NEXT WEEK. STILL LOOKING LIKE WARMING TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN BY MID WEEK, AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/SOUTHERN ROCKIES. LATEST ECMWF RUN AND GFS ENSEMBLES AGREE WITH THIS SCENARIO. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
