AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
335 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2009

.DISCUSSION...

PRIMARY CONCERNS IN THE FIRST PART OF THE FORECAST ARE STRONG
GRADIENT SURFACE WINDS AND SEVERE WEATHER THREATS.

STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH 56 KT WIND AT 1500FT HAVE
COMBINED TO PRODUCE HIGH WIND CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS
SURFACE FRONT COLD FRONT RACES EASTWARD AND THE ISOALLOBARIC COUPLET
MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. CURRENT HIGH WIND WARNING EXPIRES AT 7
PM AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE...HOWEVER...SOME COUNTIES IN THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN CWA MAY STILL HAVE VERY STRONG WINDS EARLY THIS
EVENING. MAY HAVE TO EXTEND THE WARNING FOR A COUPLE HOURS IN THE
FAR SOUTHEAST...BUT THE REST OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE WINDS DIMINISH
BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA BY THE EXPIRATION TIME.

INITIAL LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA
SHOULD MOVE NORTH INTO NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON WITH INITIATION OF
ADDITIONAL STORMS EXPECTED IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING. SURFACE FRONT OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE
IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO BECOME
MORE LINEAR AND THUS A DAMAGING WIND/HAIL THREAT NORTH OF I-70.
FARTHER SOUTH...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOWER TO OVERTAKE THE
DRYLINE AND CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN DISCRETE SUPERCELLS INTO THE
EVENING HOURS BEFORE EVOLVING INTO A DAMAGING WIND THREAT LATE
TONIGHT.

THE FRONT HANGS UP IN SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS BEFORE SUNRISE TUESDAY.
LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA. IN CONTRAST...THE NORTHWESTERN
PORTION OF THE CWA WILL HAVE SOME CLEARING AND TEMPS FALLING BACK
INTO THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S BY SUNRISE. ON TUESDAY...UPPER TROF
SHIFTS EASTWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON. COULD BE A COOL BLUSTERY
DAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN CWA WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 50S.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WITH WEAK SURFACE
HIGH BUILDING IN WILL ALLOW FOR A BRIEF BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS FOR
OUR CWA. FOLLOWING A COOL MORNING WEDNESDAY WITH LOWS IN THE LOW TO
MID 30S...HIGHS RECOVER INTO THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

NEXT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM DROPS INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY
THURSDAY NIGHT AND GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS THROUGH SATURDAY. UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES AND SOME
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. INCLUDES A
MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA.
