AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
336 AM CDT THU APR 24 2008

.DISCUSSION...

AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE SE PORTIONS OF
THE CWA THIS MORNING...AHEAD OF UPPER SHORTWAVE TRAVERSING EASTERN
KS ATTM PER WV IMAGERY. CLOUDY SKIES AND SERLY WINDS ARE HOLDING
TEMPS IN THE UPPER 50S MOST AREAS.

BIT OF A TOUGH FORECAST FOR TODAY. WOULD EXPECT A LULL IN THE
PRECIP THANKS TO SOME SUBSIDENCE BEHIND INITIAL WAVE LATER THIS
MORNING. THIS MAY ALSO GIVE CLOUDS A CHANCE TO BREAK UP A LITTLE
BIT AND ALLOW FOR BETTER HEATING. NEXT SHORTWAVE PER WV IS
CROSSING THE ROCKIES IN SOUTHERN COLORADO ATTM...AND APPEARS TO BE
THE ONE TO WATCH FOR TRIGGERING TSRA TODAY. PLENTY OF AVAILABLE
INSTABILITY WITH 1K-2K J/KG CAPE SPREADING ACROSS THE CWA BY THE
NOON HOUR. HOWEVER AT THAT SAME TIME...CAP STRENGTHENS A BIT AND
COULD HOLD OFF CONVECTION UNTIL IT WEAKENS AGAIN IN MID AFTERNOON
AS FIRST IMPULSE TRIGGERS STORMS IN THE CWA.

FOR THE EVENING HOURS CAN FIND A FEW FACTORS TO INSTIGATE
STORMS...WITH CONVERGENCE IN THE 850MB WIND FIELD OVER THE 850MB
FRONT AND ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE...FOLLOWED THEN IN THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS BY PASSAGE OF FRONT. COVERAGE LOOKS TO BE BETTER IN THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES WHERE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT SETS UP AND
HAVE ADJUSTED POPS UPWARD THERE. IN TERMS OF SEVERITY THROUGH THE
TODAY/TONIGHT PERIOD...ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL HAVE GOOD
INSTABILITY PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AND 20-30KTS OF SHEAR TO WORK
WITH. BY THE TIME THE FRONT MAKES IT INTO OUR AREA...NOT SURE IF
IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO OVERCOME BETTER CAP FARTHER SOUTH...SO MAY
SEE AN AREA OF STORMS MOVE ACROSS THE CWA WITH BRUNT OF CONVECTION
MOVING ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70. STILL APPEARS HAIL AND
WIND PRIMARY THREATS...AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL /ESPECIALLY ANY
THAT FALLS OVER EAST CENTRAL KANSAS/ COULD BRING SOME LOCALIZED
FLOODING OR ADDITIONAL RISES IN CREEKS AND RIVERS THERE. WILL NOT
ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS TIME AS CURRENT THINKING PUTS BETTER CHANCES
FOR HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHERN COUNTIES.

COOLER DAY IN STORE FOR FRIDAY AS UPPER MIDWEST SHORTWAVE BRINGS
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO THE STATE.
CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR SATURDAY WITH YET ANOTHER REINFORCING WAVE
DROPPING SOUTHWARD AND REINFORCING THE NORTHERLY FLOW...BRINGING
ANOTHER SYSTEM INTO THE STATE FOR SUNDAY. COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW
CONTINUES THROUGH MONDAY...WITH SLIGHT WARMING TREND BACK TOWARDS
NORMAL MID WEEK AS UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA. NO CHANGES
BEYOND SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...

MID LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT AIDING IN HIGH BASED SHOWER DEVELOPMENT
EARLY THIS MORNING. MAY SEE BRIEF MVFR RESTRICTIONS IN THE HEAVIER
SHOWERS. MAIN CONCERN FOR MUCH OF THE DAY APPEARS TO BE CEILINGS.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS MAY BE PREVALENT...AND TRENDS
TO THE WEST AND SOUTH ARE HEADING DOWNWARD. DRIER AIR ALOFT MAY
ALLOW FOR INSOLATION TO MIX THIS OUT...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS
POINT. CONVECTIVE CHANCES INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF THE
FORECAST...BUT AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS TOO HIGH FOR ANY INCLUSION.

&&

.TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL...NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. SOME OF THE
STORMS MAY BE SEVERE...WITH THE PRIMARY RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING AS AN UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM CROSSES THE STATE. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE
ENHANCED OVER NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY ALSO CAUSE LOCALIZED
FLOODING...PARTICULARLY IF THE STORMS MOVE OVER PORTIONS OF EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL ON WEDNESDAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST OUT OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE
NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SATURDAY LATE AFTERNOON AND
OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS ANOTHER FRONT CROSSES THE STATE.
