AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 857 PM CDT MON JUL 10 2006 .UPDATE... A FEW FRISKY STORMS THIS EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS...FOCUSING ALONG A SUBTLE SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY IN AN UNSTABLE AND UNCAPPED AIRMASS...WITH 30-35 KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR. THINKING SEVERE THREAT WILL END WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...THE SALINA AREA WILL LIKELY SEE SOME FLOODING THIS EVENING...WITH NUMEROUS STORMS TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREAS. THIS ACTIVITY MAY BE WHAT AFFECTS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS TONIGHT...AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTLES SLOWLY SOUTH. ADDITIONALLY...INCREASING ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT AHEAD OF HIGH PLAINS UPPER TROUGH MAY ACT TO INCREASE AREAL COVERAGE OF THIS ACTIVITY AS IT PROPAGATES SOUTHEAST/SOUTH INTO INCREASING LOW-LEVEL JET. HOWEVER...NOT VERY CONFIDENT IN THIS SCENARIO...AS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA STORMS HAVE ACTED TO INCREASE STABILITY SOME OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS. THE MAIN SHOW MAY REMAIN OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...WITH LESS NUMEROUS STORMS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. HOWEVER...TOO MANY UNCERTAINTIES PRECLUDE DECREASING POPS AT THIS TIME. NEVERTHELESS...GIVEN MOIST/ALMOST TROPICAL AIRMASS (2.03 PW FROM TOPEKAS 00Z SOUNDING)...HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH ANY CONVECTION TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREAS. KLEINSASSER && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 304 PM CDT MON JUL 10 2006/ DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL WITH ENDING TIME OF THE UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN...FOLLOWED BY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS FOR LATE IN THE WORK WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TONIGHT LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A MCV MOVING EAST INTO EASTERN KANSAS WHICH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NUMEROUS SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE HAS CLEARED OUT THE SKIES SOMEWHAT AND CREATED A LULL IN PRECIP ACTIVITY OVER CENTRAL KANSAS...HOWEVER A SECOND PIECE OF TRAILING ENERGY WAS SITUATED FROM NORTHERN KANSAS INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. STORMS COULD RE-DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING DUE TO STRONG DAYTIME HEATING AND A WEAKENING CAP AHEAD OF THE TRAILING SHORT WAVE ENERGY. MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL JET/ISENTROPIC LIFT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATER TONIGHT WITH PRECIP COVERAGE INCREASING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS WHERE LOW LEVEL JET/MOISTURE TRANSPORT BECOMES MORE FAVORABLE. HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL WILL EXIST GIVEN VERY TROPICAL-LIKE AIRMASS IN PLACE...AND POSSIBLE TRAINING OF PRECIP ACTIVITY TONIGHT. TUES-WED NEAR NORMAL TEMPS(90S) AND VERY HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS PERIOD ALONG WITH OFF AND ON PRECIP CHANCES. A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO SAG SOUTHWARD FOR TUESDAY AND PERHAPS LINGER OVER THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LOCATION OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN GIVEN POSSIBLE MESO-SCALE EFFECTS FROM CONVECTION. AS A RESULT...WE WILL KEEP CHANCES OF SHOWERS/STORMS GOING AS A MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINS OVER KANSAS ALONG LINGERING LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY. MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY/WARM AIR ADVECTION SEEMS FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY...AS ANOTHER POSSIBLE IMPULSE MOVES ACROSS KANSAS. THUR LINGERING PRECIP ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE MORNING HRS FOLLOWED BY MUCH WARMER TEMPS. TEMPS LOOK TO REACH INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S ACROSS THE REGION. EXTENDED: FRI-MON HOT...HUMID AND DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THIS PERIOD AS SUMMER TIME HEAT BUILDS ACROSS KANSAS. ONLY A FEW MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE AS BROAD UPPER RIDGE PATTERN APPEARS TO SETUP ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. ONE CONCERN FOR LATER SHIFTS TO MONITOR...ECM MODEL SOLUTION IS TRYING TO SLIDE A WEAK WAVE INTO THE AREA FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY BETWEEN TWO UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERS. THIS COULD RESULT IN SOME DIURNAL PRECIP ACTIVITY IF IT PANS OUT...BUT WE WILL LET LATER SHIFTS RE-EVALUATE NEXT SUITE OF MODEL RUNS BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES AT THIS JUNCTURE. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS COMBINED WITH HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITIES COULD YIELD HEAT INDICES ABOVE 100 DEGREES. JAKUB && PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
