NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 6:42 PM CST, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 742 PM CDT THU JUN 22 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS EVENING WILL BE THE PROPAGATION OF THE STORMS IN WESTERN KANSAS. CURRENT THOUGHTS ARE TO REMOVE POPS ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS. LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWING VERY INTENSE STORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP IN WESTERN KANSAS. THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN SHOWING PRIMARILY A EAST-SOUTHEAST PROPAGATION. LATEST PROFILERS FROM VANCE AFB ARE OUT OF THE EAST WITH WICHITA OUT OF THE NORTHEAST. MEANWHILE...DODGE CITY VAD WIND PROFILE IS SHOWING GOOD STEERING FLOW ABOVE 10KFT OUT OF THE WEST. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FORWARD MOVING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM IF A GOOD COLD POOL CAN GET ESTABLISHED. IF THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE THEN IT COULD PROPAGATE EAST-SOUTHEAST INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND PRODUCING SOME DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME NEGATIVES TO THIS PICTURE. CURRENTLY...THERE ARE SEVERAL STORMS DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN COMPLEX NORTH OF DODGE CITY WHICH WAS A RESULT OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COLLIDING. THESE STORMS COULD SEND OUT SOME OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT COULD DISTURB ANY FORWARD PROPAGATION AND RESULT IN MORE A HEAVY RAIN THREAT. THE SECOND NEGATIVE IS LOW LEVEL FLOW IS ALSO QUITE WEAK AT THE PRESENT TIME. FOR NOW...WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH TO SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE...BUT AT THE PRESENT TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS TO BE RATHER ISOLATED. THERE IS ALSO AN ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN THREAT WITH THESE STORMS DUE TO THEIR SLOW MOVEMENT. MEANWHILE...SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL MOST LIKELY ESCAPE THE CONVECTION TONIGHT. CURRENTLY...THEY ARE UNDERNEATH THE MESOHIGH BEHIND THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORT LOBE IN MISSOURI. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A RATHER QUIET NIGHT IN THAT REGION. AN UPPER LEVEL COLD POCKET DOES TRY TO MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS TOWARDS DAYBREAK...BUT THERE IS NOT A LOT OF VERTICAL MOTION TO GO ALONG WITH IT. THEREFORE...WE ARE PLANNING ON REMOVING POPS COMPLETELY IN THAT REGION. COX && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
