.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...
PRIMARY CONCERN IS SHORT TERM SEVERE STORMS...

OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL OK INTO WESTERN KANSAS
BETWEEN GCK AND DDC WITH LLJ ALONG IT AND UPPER LEVEL JET FROM SW TO
CROSS IT THIS EVENING. FROM MORNING SOUNDING 94 OVER 64 GIVES OVER
5K J/KG AND BACKED LOW LEVEL FLOW ON EAST SIDE OF OFB PRODUCES A
VERY HEALTHY SUBCLOUD LAYER HODOGRAPH. WE SHOULD EASILY GET A FEW
SUPERCELLS IN CONVERGENCE ALONG THE OFB AND THE TORNADO THREAT COULD
BE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT AT LEAST EARLY ON IN THE STORMS DEVELOPMENT.
THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH HOWEVER LAGS THE SYSTEM A BIT
TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WILL PROBABLY NOT PRODUCE ANY SIGNIFICANT
FORCING UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING. BY THEN WE SHOULD SEE A LOT OF
CONVECTION DEVELOP INTO A MULTICELLULAR CLUSTER ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE COLD FRONT IN NORTHWEST KANSAS. BY TOMORROW, THE FRONT SHOULD
SINK SOUTH INTO THE AREA AND WE MAY WELL SEE THUNDERSTORMS OFF AND
ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH ANOTHER MULTICELLULAR BEAST FORMING OVER
MY CWA AND JUST EAST OF THE SURFACE LOW TOMORROW EVENING. DIDNT
MAKE A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE GRIDS EXCEPT TO TRIM HIGHS TOMORROW AND
ADJUST POPS TO FIT THINKING ABOVE. AS I TYPE THIS WE HAVE
COORDINATED WITH SPC ON A TORNADO WATCH FOR ALL OF MY CWA THROUGH
04Z.

DAYS 3-7...
THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT OUT THROUGH 84 HOURS.
THE LATEST ECMWF FROM 09/00Z SUPPORTS HAVING A SHORT BREAK IN PRECIP
CHANCES SUNDAY MORNING, BUT BRINGS A LARGE UPPER TROUGH THROUGH
WESTERN KANSAS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.  FOR THIS REASON, HAVE
INCREASED POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY /40E & 30W/ SATURDAY NIGHT,
DOWN TO ZERO SUNDAY MORNING, AND THEN BACK TO 40E/30W SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.  THIS UPPER TROUGH SHOULD BE MOVING THROUGH RAPIDLY, AND
DROPPED POPS TO 20 SUNDAY NIGHT.  HOPEFULLY, BY MONDAY, THE CHANCE
FOR POPS WILL DIMINISH, AS WE ARE BETWEEN UPPER IMPULSES BY THAT
TIME.  BOTH THE GFS AND DGEX BRING AN UPPER LEVEL LOW, ALTHOUGH NOT
TOO TIGHT OR DEEP, THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS ON WEDNESDAY.  SO
INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR TRW- WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AND THEN
AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A SECOND LOBE OF UPPER
VORTICITY ROTATES THROUGH.  AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES, KEPT THE LOWER
MAX TEMPS GOING FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY, DUE TO AFTER AFFECTS OF THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SUNDAY.   THEN, WE SHOULD BEGIN SLOWLY WARMING
UP AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN OVER THE ROCKIES AND WE GET
INTO NORTHWESTERLY DOWN SLOPE AFFECTS.  WARMED MAX TEMPS BACK UP TO
THE 90S BY WEDNESDAY AND KEPT THEM THERE.  AS FOR LOWS, MOSTLY MID
50S NW TO LOWER 60S SE MONDAY AND TUESDAY, RISING TO NEAR 60NW TO
UPPER 60S SE BY THURSDAY.
