AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
1047 AM CDT FRI APR 25 2008

.DISCUSSION...

HAVE SENT A QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST TO CANCEL THE WIND
ADVISORY AND TO REMOVE POP CHANCES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. MAIN
UPPR LVL SHRTWV TROF IS NOW MOVING THRU CNTRL NEB AND THE SFC
CDFNT HAS CLEARED THE CWA. FRONT WAS TAKING THE BEST INSTABILITY
EAST OF THE CWA AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE NO LONGER EXPECTED.
PROFILERS FM SRN NEB AND KS INDC MARGINAL LO LVL WINDS FOR WIND
ADVRY. 15Z SFC ANLYS ALSO INDCS BEST PRES RISES OF +4 MB PER 3 HRS
IS ALSO NOW MOVING EAST OF THE ADVRY AREA. THUS WINDY CONDS ARE
EXPECTED...BUT SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE ADVRY CAT ARE NOT EXPECTED.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 750 AM CDT FRI APR 25 2008/

UPDATED DISCUSSION...

HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES TO REFLECT THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO NEAR
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. KEPT MENTION OF SEVERE THREAT IN EAST CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS MORNING MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE TURNPIKE WHERE
BEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ARE LOCATED. THE FRONT WILL PROGRESS
QUICKLY EAST AND SHOULD CLEAR THE CWA BY 1330-14Z. LOW LEVEL JET IS
VEERING AND WEAKENING SO THINK THE SEVERE THREAT WILL DECREASE AFTER
THE 14Z TO 15Z PERIOD.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH FRONT MAKING ITS WAS ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS. STORMS
BECOMING MULTICELL AND ELEVATED BEHIND CONTINUING REINFORCING
OUTFLOW SO SEVERE WEATHER THREATS AREN/T QUITE WHAT THEY WERE
EARLIER...THOUGH SOME HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING CONCERNS ARE RAISED.
ELEVATED INSTABILITY REMAINS RATHER IMPRESSIVE THOUGH SHEAR IS
LACKING IN SOUTHERN AREAS. MAY STILL SEE A FEW SEVERE STORMS THIS
MORNING...BUT CHANCES QUICKLY DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT
PUSHES EAST. STRONG WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 50 MPH WERE OCCURING
BEHIND THE FRONT...AND SIMILAR THOUGH PROBABLY NOT QUITE AS STRONG
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS MORNING IN WESTERN AREAS AS PRESSURES
QUICKLY RISE. WILL GO WITH A MORNING ADVISORY IN NC KS. SOME
LOCATIONS AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY BE RATHER STRONG AS WELL...BUT
IMPINGING OUTFLOW AND VEERING JET SHOULD KEEP CONSISTENT STRONG
SPEEDS IN CHECK. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE MUCH IN THE
DEVELOPING COLD AIR ADVECTION.

NEXT UPPER WAVE A BIT FASTER TO ROTATE SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA THAN
EARLIER PROGGED...PROMPTING AND INCREASE IN PRECIP CHANCES SATURDAY.
GOOD ELEVATED LAPSE RATES SUGGEST SOME THUNDER STILL POSSIBLE...WITH
PROFILES COOLING TO LEVELS THAT SNOW ISN/T IMPOSSIBLE SATURDAY
EVENING. TEMPS BOTH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT APPROACH LEVELS OF
FROST CONCERN...BUT WINDS APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH FOR NO MENTION AT
THIS TIME.

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED.

AVIATION...

MVFR TO IFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS TODAY AS
COLD ADVECTION CONTINUES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR KTOP AND KFOE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY 14Z.
EXPECT THE MVFR CIGS TO HOLD THROUGH 02Z TO 03Z SATURDAY...THEN
CLEARING AND BECOMING VFR. WINDS WILL ALSO DECREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS.
