AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
657 PM CDT FRI MAY 20 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM (THROUGH SATURDAY)...

THROUGH THIS EVENING...CONVERGENT FLOW ALONG A NORTH TO SOUTH
ORIENTED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN CENTRAL KANSAS WAS FORCING THUNDERSTORM
INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND
MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING AIDED BY THE PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENT ZONE AND SUPPORT FROM A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING
NORTHEAST OUT OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS THIS EVENING. A FEW SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO WARM A BIT MORE THIS AFTERNOON UNDER BROKEN CLOUD COVER...
CREATING A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS
SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURE BUT ORIENTATION TO THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL PROMOTE FREQUENT STORM INTERACTIONS AND
EVOLUTION INTO SMALL CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION. THESE CLUSTERS MAY
BRIEFLY TRAIN OVER AREAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST 48
HOURS...AND WOULD REINVIGORATE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. EXPECT THE
THREAT TO BE LOCALIZED AND HAVE OPTED NOT TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AT THIS TIME.

THE BEST MID AND UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH OF
THE AREA TONIGHT AND THE CENTRAL KANSAS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO LOSE
SUPPORT AND GENERALLY DISSIPATE. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP
ORIGINATING WELL TO THE SOUTH TO WORK INTO SOUTHEAST AND PERHAPS
EAST CENTRAL KANSAS LATE TONIGHT BUT DO NOT EXPECT ANY LARGE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT AND
HAVE REDUCED PRECIP CHANCES ACCORDINGLY.

EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
THE DAY ON SATURDAY. THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SHIFT FURTHER
EAST WHILE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WORKS ACROSS KANSAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL COOL AS THE WAVE
APPROACHES WITH IMPROVING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THIS WILL PAIR WITH
A WARMING BOUNDARY LAYER AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S TO
BRING A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER CENTRAL
AND EASTERN KANSAS. WHILE INSTABILITY SHOULD BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL
THAN ON FRIDAY...SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE A BIT WEAKER...AND MAY HAVE
A BIT MORE TROUBLE DEVELOPING MID LEVEL ROTATION AND ORGANIZED STORM
STRUCTURE. NEVERTHELESS...SEVERE STORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

BARJENBRUCH

&&
.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

A BRIEF LULL IN THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ON SUNDAY
MORNING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES NORTH OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. A
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE IN QUICKLY BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING KEEPING CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FORECAST. THE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING APPEARS TO BE OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHERE BETTER
MOISTURE RETURN WILL OCCUR. ON MONDAY MODELS AGREE THAT ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THIS SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL LEAD TO YET MORE THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE CWA. AGAIN THE BEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ON MONDAY
WILL BE OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THEREFORE...HAVE INCLUDED
THE HIGHER PROBABILITIES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA.

TUESDAY THE EC AND GFS BOTH SHOW A SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW THAT
WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA. BOTH MODELS SHOW SIGNIFICANT
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY. WITH THE MODEL
AGREEMENT...HAVE CONTINUED CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY AS
WELL. THESE THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS
MODELS INDICATE A SLOW MOVING SYSTEM AS SEVERAL WEAK SHORTWAVES
INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE LOW. EVENTUALLY...MODELS INDICATE A MORE
ROBUST UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL AID IN KICKING OUT THE
SURFACE LOW. WEAK RIDGING THEN BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON
THURSDAY AS THINGS LOOK TO BE DRY.

ANDERSON

.AVIATION...

AREA OF 3-4KFT CIGS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TERMINALS THROUGH 07Z
WITH SCT-BKN015 BKN035 CIGS THEN THRU 14Z WITH SOME MVFR FOG POSSIBLE
WITH THE WET GROUND AND LIGHTER WINDS IF SKIES ARE NOT OVERCAST.
OTHERWISE KEPT TAFS DRY FOR NOW...BUT MAY NEED TO ADD THUNDER/CB AFT 21Z
IN LATER UPDATES IF TRENDS CONTINUE. CONFIDENCE TOO LOW AT THIS POINT.
