Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 3:35 PM CDT, 7 hours 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
335 PM CDT THU APR 24 2008

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS SEVERE WEATHER. EARLY AFTN
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDCS NEXT UPSTRM SHRTWV IS NOW MOVING THROUGH
CO AND IS PROGGED TO EMERGE OUT ONTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS THIS
EVNG. 18Z SOUNDING FM KTOP INDCS A SIG INCREASE IN THE EML
TMPS...BUT ALSO A SIG INCREASE IN H825/850 MB MOISTURE. THUS THE
SOUNDING IS NOT STRONGLY CAPPED...BUT WITH A LACK OF LO LVL FORCING
AND LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE ALOFT...THE CAP IS EXPECTED
TO HOLD THRU THE EVENING. THUS MAINTAINED A SCHC POP IN THE FAR WEST
THIS EVNG AND THEN SPREAD LIKELY POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT ALONG THE KS
NEB BORDER WITH LO CHC POPS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. CURRENT THINKING
IS STILL THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE TRI STATE REGION
OF SW NEB LATE THIS AFTN. SHEAR AND INSTABILITY SHLD ALLOW FOR
STORMS TO KEEP GOING THROUGH THE EVNG AS THEY MOV EWD. DEVELOPMENT
SHLD BE UPSCALE INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS AND ENTER OUR NW CWA
AT OR AFTER 9 PM. THUS SOME SEVERE WEATHER ACRS THE NORTH TONIGHT
STILL LOOKS LIKELY WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN
THREAT. WL CONT WITH THE SVR WORDING IN THE NRN CWA WITH THIS
THINKING IN MIND. INCREASED GOING LOWS FOR TONIGHT OVER CNTRL AND
SOUTHERN CWA WHERE STG SRLY FLOW SHLD CONT THRU THE NIGHT KEEPING
TMPS UP.

SFC CDFNT SHLD BE MOVING THRU THE ERN CWA ARND 12Z FRI AND CLEAR THE
CWA AROUND 18Z. WL CONT WITH A MENTION OF TSRA IN THE MRNG ERN
CWA...BUT SHLD SEE A DRIER AFTN WITH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
GETTING PUSHED EWD. GOOD MIXING EXPECTED TOMORROW BEHIND THE FNT
TOMORROW WITH MOST LOCATIONS MIXING TO AT LEAST H85. DECENT CAA
BEHIND THE FNT WILL OFF-SET SOME OF GOOD MIXING...BUT DID INCREASE
GOING HIGHS OVER THE SRN CWA. BOUSTEAD

AS MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS OUT ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND
WINDS BECOME LIGHTER WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR IN
PLACE...EXPECT AN UNSEASONABLY COOL NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S
COMMON. ANOTHER NORTHWEST FLOW WAVE WILL DIG SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS ON SATURDAY AND PROVIDE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. WITH A COOL START AND AN INCREASE IN
CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY...HIGHS MAY BE LIMITE SOMEWHAT...ESPECIALLY
WITH ANY PRECIP THAT DEVELOPS. HAVE THEREFORE LOWERED HIGHS INTO THE
LOWER 60S ALONG AND NORTH OF I 70 AND INCREASED POPS IN THE
AFTERNOON NORTHWEST AREAS.

MODELS ARE QUICKER WITH THE SPEED OF THIS WAVE AND IT EXITS THE CWA
EARLY SUNDAY. AS A RESULT TRIMMED POPS SUNDAY TO ONLY THE SOUTHEAST
CWA IN THE MORNING. ALSO LOWERED HIGHS SLIGHTLY AS WELL WITH CAA
ARRIVING EARLIER IN THE DAY. OTHERWISE A COUPLE MORE UNSEASONABLY
COOL NIGHTS IN STORE ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHTS
IN NORTHWEST FLOW AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ACROSS THE AREA.

VEERING UPPER LEVEL FLOW AND LEESIDE CYCLOGENESIS WILL DEVELOP BY
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AND ALLOW FOR TEMPS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY TO
WARM BACK INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. IT WILL ALSO HELP TO
INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG AND
NORTH OF A WARM FRONT NEAR THE AREAS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
BOTH ECMWF AND GFS ARE SIMILAR WITH THIS SCENARIO. HAVE THEREFORE
ADDED POPS INTO THURSDAY.  63

&&

.AVIATION...

MVFR CONDS EXPECTED TO GENERALLY CONT THRU THE NIGHT. AS MIXING
CONTS THIS AFTN MAY SEE SOME VFR CONDS FOR A TIME THIS EVNG
ESPECIALLY FOR THE MHK TAF SITE...BUT AS LO LVL JET ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOPS TONIGHT WLD EXPECT MVFR CONDS TO SET BACK IN AFTER 06Z
TONIGHT. CONSIDERED PUTTING IN SOME NON CONVECTIVE LO LVL WIND SHEAR
TONIGHT WITH THE LO LVL JET...BUT EVEN AFTER WINDS DIMINISH A LITTLE
THIS EVNG...SHLD SEE THE GUSTS ONCE AGAIN PICK UP AFTER MIDNIGHT.
DECIDED NOT TO INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF THUNDER IN ANY OF THE TAFS
SITES AS BEST COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE NORTH OF THE
TERMINALS...BUT THIS WL HAVE TO BE MONITORED THRU LATE EVNG. VFR
CONDS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THRU THE DAY ON FRI AS FNT MOVS
TO THE EAST. BOUSTEAD
