AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
619 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...
OUTFLOW FROM THIS AFTERNOONS CONVECTION HAS ALL BUT CLEARED THE
FORECAST AREA WITH A FEW NEW UPDRAFTS DEVELOPING SOUTH OF EMP.
THINKING IS THAT THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH OUT OF
ANDERSON AND COFFEY COUNTIES AND THAT WOULD PUT AN END TO THE
IMMEDIATE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. STORMS BACK ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL KS ARE MOVING INTO AN ATMOSPHERE THAT HAS BEEN PRETTY WORKED
OVER AS NOTED BY THE TEMPS STILL AROUND 80 DEGREES. HOWEVER LOOKING
FURTHER UPSTREAM THERE IS CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS WESTERN SD
AND 20Z WATER VAPOR SHOWS A WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. MODELS
STILL SHOWING AN MCV DEVELOPING FROM THIS CONVECTION AND MOVING
ACROSS NORTHEAST KS BY 12Z MONDAY. THEREFORE CONTINUED WITH LIKELY
POPS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CHANCE POPS LINGERING THROUGH MONDAY
THINKING A MCS COULD ROLL ACROSS THE AREA. THERE SHOULD BE A BREAK
IN THE PRECIP CHANCES FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING AS A DECENT
SFC RIDGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR SETTLES IN TO THE FORECAST AREA.
MODELS ARE NOW A LITTLE SLOWER IN BRINGING RETURN FLOW BACK INTO
NORTHEAST KS...KEEPING THE NOSE OF THE 850 JET MORE ACROSS WESTERN
KS. BECAUSE OF THIS HAVE DELAYED THE ONSET OF POPS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
SOMEWHAT. NORTHWEST FLOW AND WEAK WAVES MOVE BACK ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MODELS SHOWING
THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE MORE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES TO MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA. THEREFORE HAVE CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A SFC RIDGE BUILDING IN FOR THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF
IS SLOWER TO MOVE THIS RIDGE OFF TO THE EAST AND SLOWER WITH
BRINGING RETURN FLOW BACK OVER THE RIDGE. THEREFORE HAVE REMOVED
POPS FROM SATURDAY AND LEFT SUNDAY DRY.

TEMPS COULD BE SOMEWHAT TRICKY WITH SOME MODEL GUIDANCE COMING IN
WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S BEHIND THE FRONTS. DUE TO CONVECTION TODAY DID
NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO DIVE INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THE COLD FRONT.
BECAUSE OF THIS ERRORED ON THE MORE CONSERVATIVE SIDE AND KEPT
FORECAST HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 80S FOR WEDNESDAY AND THE WEEKEND.
AM CONFIDENT THOUGH WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW AND OCCASIONAL ROUNDS OF
PRECIP THAT THE HEAT WAVE IS UNLIKELY TO RETURN. IN FACT FLOODING
MAY BECOME AN INCREASING CONCERN. PARTS OF NORTH CENTRAL KS HAVE
ALREADY SEEN A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRECIP OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS.
THOUGHT ABOUT A FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE IN TRACK OF
TONIGHTS MCS IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH. NEVERTHELESS IT WILL BE SOMETHING
THAT NEEDS TO BE WATCHED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

WOLTERS

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. MAIN CONCERN FOR THE
NEXT 12 HOURS IS CONVECTION. NUMEROUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES REMAIN
DRAPED VOER THE AREA AFTER CONVECTION FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...ANY ONE OF WHICH COULD BE THE FOCUS FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR...BUT FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT CONVECTION WILL IMPACT
TERMINALS AFT 06Z. EXPECT CONVECTION TO END AND MOVE EAST BY 12Z.

.TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
