...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 322 AM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Cool below normal temperatures for today with surface warm front to
remain south of the KS/OK border and overcast skies. Current ALPW
polar satellite data shows deep surface-700mb moisture plume surging
northward across Texas. This deep moisture axis will continue to
advect northward today via increasing low-level jet. Scattered
showers/storms will spread northward into Kansas this morning and
become more widespread later this afternoon and tonight.
Precipitable water values running 2 to 3 standard deviations above
normal within this moisture axis favors higher rainfall rates of
1"/hr or greater, especially for locations east of the Kansas
Turnpike over the Flood Watch area during the late afternoon and
night time hours. In addition, a few strong storms could produce
small hail or gusty winds, severe weather risk is low with the main
risk being heavy rainfall.

The upper level low pressure center will move very slowly eastward
across Kansas on Thursday with wrap around precipitation
lingering over central Kansas. The heavier rainfall area will
shift east of Kansas by early Thursday afternoon, thus ending the
heavy rain risk. There could be a window for re-newed surface
based convection over southeast/eastern Kansas early Thursday
afternoon with clearing from mid level dry slot allowing good
sunshine/destabilization on back edge of deeper moisture plume.
The alignment of upper level low/surface low resembles a favorable
cold core setup. If this signal is maintained by the models there
would be some potential for low topped strong/severe
thunderstorms or even some cold core tornadoes in the 0-3km CAPE
axis aligned with surface vorticity area. Something for later
shifts to keep tabs on. Otherwise, the precipitation will taper
off Thursday night as main upper low shifts east into Mississippi
valley region. Dry weather and near normal temperatures look to be
in store for area on Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 322 AM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Saturday looks to be a dry weather day with above normal
temperatures. Meanwhile, pattern recognition from long range models
are hinting at a very strong 700mb baroclinic zone residing over
western Nebraska extending east into north central Kansas Saturday
night. This combined with decent upslope of richer moisture in the
surface-850mb layer towards western Nebraska looks to spark off
convection in the models Saturday evening. This convection would
then travel eastward along the 700mb mid-level baroclinic zone in a
forward propagating mode, as low level jet veers out leading the
convective development. At this time, models are showing this
activity possibly clipping central Kansas or remaining north of the
area late Saturday night. Something to monitor for any shifts in the
models with this signal which could result in severe weather.
Otherwise warm and more humid conditions look to prevail for Sunday
into Tuesday with richer Gulf of Mexico moisture in place. Some long
range models are showing a frontal boundary pushing southward into
this rich moisture which could generate thunderstorms over the
region for Monday/Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 708 AM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Off-and-on showers and thunderstorms will increase across the
region by mid-late morning today, and persist through tonight.
Widespread MVFR ceiling should gradually lower to IFR later today
through tonight. Severe weather threat is low, although the
strongest activity will be capable of small hail, gusty winds, and
locally heavy rain.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 322 AM CDT Wed May 4 2022

Flood watch has been expanded into Cowley county for this
afternoon through Thursday morning. Scattered showers and storms
will develop this morning and become more widespread later this
afternoon into tonight. Widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall is
expected with a few locations in southeast Kansas having potential
to see amounts greater than 3 inches. This will result in rises
on rivers and streams with some minor flooding problems in low
lying areas.
