AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
313 PM CST MON FEB 4 2008

.DISCUSSION...

A 35 DEGREE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURE EXISTS ACROSS THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE UPPER 30S IN FAR NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS TO THE
MIDDLE 70S IN EAST CENTRAL KANSAS. THE TEMPERATURE DELINEATION WAS IN
THE FORM OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT STRETCHED FROM SALINA TO
MANHATTAN TO HIAWATHA BY MID AFTERNOON. ANTICIPATE THIS BOUNDARY
WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST OUT OF KANSAS BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH COOLER
AIR AT THE SURFACE ADVECTING IN. THE H85 COLD FRONT WILL LAG
BEHIND...WITH THE 0C LINE NOT MOVING THROUGH THE ENTIRE CWA UNTIL
EARLY AFTERNOON TUESDAY. THIS WILL HAVE SOME PRECIP TYPE
IMPLICATIONS ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA DURING THE FIRST
HALF OF TUESDAY...WITH A RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX POSSIBLE BEFORE A
FULL TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW. PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK FAIRLY LOW
TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. EXCEPTIONS WILL BE ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS CLOSER TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWER POTENTIAL DEVELOPING
INITIALLY IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS. AREAS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IN NORTH
CENTRAL KANSAS MAY SEE PERIODS OF DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

BY TUESDAY MORNING...BRIEF PERIOD OF DOWNGLIDE WILL RESULT IN LOWER
PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES ACROSS MOST AREAS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS CLOSER TO APPROACHING LARGE SCALE ASCENT FROM
THE HIGH AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE TROUGH. SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS ACROSS
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WITH ENHANCED CONVECTION ALONG THE SURFACE COLD
FRONT...WHICH WILL ALL RIDE NORTHEASTWARD DURING THE DAY. MINOR
CONCERNS OF CONVECTION AFFECTING MOISTURE TRAJECTORY INTO THE CWA.
WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WILL HAVE A VERTICAL TEMPERATURE PROFILE
SUPPORTIVE OF ALL SNOW DURING TUESDAY MORNING...SO SOME ACCUMULATION
IS EXPECTED DURING THE MORNING HOURS IN THIS DOMAIN.

BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...MODELS SUGGEST A SETUP
FAVORABLE FOR A DEFORMATION BAND TO DEVELOP OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN
KANSAS...YIELDING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. A PLAN
VIEW OF EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE AT H7 SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED
WARM CONVEYOR BELT MOVING NORTH FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
MID MISSOURI VALLEY REGION. ARCHING WESTWARD IS A TROWAL LIKE
SIGNATURE COLLOCATED WITH MODEST H7 FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
EASTERN KANSAS. CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS SUPPORTS THIS SETUP WITH
DEEP OMEGA ONTOP OF FRONTOGENESIS WITH A WELL DEFINED SECONDARY
VERTICAL CIRCULATION ENHANCING VERTICAL MOTION THROUGH A SATURATED
LAYER. HOWEVER...MANY MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON THE
EVOLUTION AND PLACEMENT OF THIS DEFORMATION REGION. EARLIER RUNS
WERE SUGGESTING NORTH CENTRAL OR EASTERN KANSAS WITH THE SLIGHTLY
MORE UNRELIABLE 18Z RUNS SUGGESTING ALONG THE MISSOURI-KANSAS
BORDER. REGARDLESS...SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL ARE ANTICIPATED
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR AN ENHANCED REGION OF SNOWFALL RATES TO OCCUR WITHIN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. WITH THIS...HAVE EXPANDED THE WINTER STORM
WATCH TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE CWA FOR THE POTENTIAL OF 5-7 INCHES IN
SOME AREAS AND WILL REFINE FORECAST WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUNS AND
ANALYSIS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AND ISSUE ANY POTENTIAL
ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS AS GREATER CONFIDENCE COMMENCES. ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY NIGHT. BLAIR

WED-FRI...SYSTEM PROGGED ATTM TO MOVE QUICKLY NORTH AND EAST BY
LATER WEDNESDAY...WITH UPPER FLOW SWINGING QUICKLY BACK AROUND TO
SOUTHERLY BY THE END OF THE AFTERNOON. SINCE TEMPERATURES WILL
DEPEND GREATLY ON WHERE AND HOW MUCH SNOW FALLS ON TUESDAY...WILL
PLAY TEMPS ON THE COLD SIDE. ANOTHER WEAK WAVE TO PASS OVERHEAD
WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY AND WILL INCREASE CLOUDS AND SHIFT
WINDS FOR THIS BUT OTHERWISE LEAVE DRY. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND
WILL LEAVE COOLER HIGHS FOR THURSDAY...AND AGAIN WILL DEPEND ON
ANY RESIDUAL SNOW COVER. YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TO MOVE THROUGH THE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ON FRIDAY AND WILL KEEP TEMPS NEAR NORMAL.

SAT-MON...WESTERN RIDGE MAKES A BIT OF EASTERN PROGRESS INTO THE
GREAT BASIN ON SATURDAY...WHICH SHOULD INCREASE SOME OF THE LOW
LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION AND RAISE TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES.
RIDGE FLATTENS A BIT ON SATURDAY AS ANOTHER WAVE MOVES INTO THE
BAJA...THEN MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS WAVE AS
IT MOVES INTO THE CTRL US. KEPT A DRY FORECAST WITH TEMPS AT OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. 67

.AVIATION...

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL BE REPLACED WITH STRATUS BEHIND COLD FRONT
AS COOLER AIR USHERS IN TONIGHT. CEILINGS MAY FALL TO 1K WITH
REDUCED VISIBILITY BEHIND FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WINDS WILL SHIFT AT TAF
SITES FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY THIS EVENING INTO
