Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 2:24 PM CST, 4 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 324 PM CDT SUN AUG 6 2006 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST CHALLENGES/CONCERNS FOCUS ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...ALONG WITH CONTINUED HOT TEMPERATURES...ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A FEW INTERMITTENT BREAKS IN THE HEAT THROUGH THE NEXT 7 DAYS. TONIGHT-TUESDAY NIGHT (SHORT-TERM): WILL ALLOW HEAT ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS HAVE MIXED OUT...EVEN OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE SOIL MOISTURE REMAINS RELATIVELY HIGH...RESULTING IN MOST HEAT INDICES FROM 102-107F THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS ALONG AND BEHIND A COLD FRONT. THINKING STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH MID EVENING. STRONG WIND GUSTS SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT GIVEN LARGE LOW-LEVEL TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A THREAT DUE TO SLOW STORM MOVEMENT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS TOO WEAK FOR LARGE HAIL. MORE ISOLATED TERRAIN INDUCED ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY EVENING ACROSS MAINLY THE FLINT HILLS. A FEW STRONG GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS WELL. AS STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET IMPINGES ON SOUTHWARD MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND WEAK MID LEVEL WAVE EJECTS OUT OF COLORADO...THINKING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD GET QUITE NUMEROUS ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT. SEVERE THREAT SHOULD WANE LATER THIS EVENING...BUT HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT SHOULD INCREASE GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70...AS A COMPLEX OR TWO SHOULD TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN NE/NORTHERN KS. CONSEQUENTLY...RATHER EXTENSIVE CONVECTIVE COLD POOL SHOULD PUSH FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH MOST OF THE CWA. HOWEVER...DO NOT THINK COLD POOL WILL BE DEEP ENOUGH ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL OR SOUTHEAST KS TO INITIATE MUCH (IF ANY) THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...GIVEN WARM/CAPPED AIRMASS. THINKING NAM/WRF AND GFS DO NOT PUSH THIS BOUNDARY FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TONIGHT. SHALLOW NATURE OF OUTFLOW SHOULD ALLOW THE BOUNDARY TO PUSH BACK NORTHWARD ON MONDAY. CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY ALONG BOUNDARY SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MAINLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 54/400. SIDED CLOSER WITH THE NAM/WRF WITH FRONTAL POSITION...ALTHOUGH THE MODEL MAY STILL BE TOO FAR NORTH. TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY TRICKY ON MONDAY...BUT THINKING INCREASED CLOUDS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL KANSAS WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN. BIG TIME BUST POTENTIAL IF CLOUD COVER IS AS EXTENSIVE AS WHATS CURRENTLY OVER NEBRASKA. TEMPERATURES COULD VERY WELL BE HELD IN THE 80S. 100+ TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER. MORE CHANCES FOR STORMS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERS ACROSS THE CWA. FRONT SHOULD BE LESS DIFFUSE BY NOW...SO CHANCES SHOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE BY TUESDAY NIGHT. SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE. WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY (LONG-TERM): BUILDING UPPER RIDGE...SOUTHERLY FLOW...AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD SPELL THE RETURN OF HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR ALL AREAS BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. BY LATE WEEK...MOST OPERATIONAL MODELS DROP A SHORTWAVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST...WHICH MAY SETTLE ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA. MODELS ARE STARTING TO SHOW SOME CONSISTENCY WITH THIS SCENARIO...SO POPS MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED AROUND THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WILL BE ANOTHER COOL DOWN ON THE WAY IF THIS BOUNDARY CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE CWA. KLEINSASSER && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
