701 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

LATEST WATER VAPOR SATELLITE LOOP AND PROFILERS SHOW A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVING ACROSS COLORADO AND ANOTHER WAVE OVER CENTRAL KANSAS.
SURFACE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AT 20Z. LATEST MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS INCREASING
SURFACE BASED CAPE OF 900 TO 1500 J/KG ACROSS CENTRAL THROUGH EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS WITH AROUND 20 KTS OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND AROUND 30
KTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT INTO NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS.
INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE
BOUNDARY AND ALSO ADVECT HIGHER MOISTURE INTO NORTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT
WITH CELLS CAPABLE OF DROPPING HEAVY RAINS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR
WHICH WILL ADD TO THE FLOOD THREAT. IN ADDITION TRAINING CELLS NEAR
AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE FLOODING RISK
THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE VEERING OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
LATE IN THE NIGHT WILL FOCUS THE HIGH MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND MISSOURI WITH THE HEAVIER RAINS MOVING OFF TO
THE EAST. A MID LEVEL WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT AS
WELL WHICH WILL INCREASE THE VERTICAL MOTIONS IN A DEEP LAYER ACROSS
EASTERN KANSAS. LOWS TONIGHT WILL NOT BE AS COOL WITH MOST LOCATIONS
IN THE 60S WITH LOWS AROUND 70 IN EAST CENTRAL KANSAS AS THE WARM
FRONT LIFTS NORTH.

BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS ON TUESDAY A FRONT WILL BISECT THE CWA IN THE
MORNING THEN MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER IN THE EAST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BUT
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL WARM
BACK UP INTO THE 80S.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 348 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
FEW CHANGES TO THE FORECAST THIS PERIOD. UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD
OVER THE ROCKIES AS LOW DIGS ALONG THE WEST COAST. AS RIDGE
AMPLIFIES THE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA TURNS TOWARD THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY. RESULTING NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DROPS
WEAK BOUNDARY INTO THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ENOUGH
INSTABILITY AND LINGERING MOISTURE TO WARRANT ADDITION OF SLIGHT
CHANGE POPS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KANSAS DURING THIS
PERIOD. ANY ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY IN THE EVENING. MODELS
HINTING THAT SOME CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY POSSIBLE AGAIN THURSDAY
AFTERNOON IN CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW. AT THIS TIME DIFFICULT TO
PINPOINT WHEN AND WHERE THIS WILL OCCUR...SO FOR NOW ONLY ADDED
SLIGHT CHANCE TO FAR NORTH CENTRAL. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED BOTH DAYS. JJZ

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MID/LOWER MO VALLEY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
WITH THE NORTHERN CWA MOST IN LINE WITH A POSSIBLE MCS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURE. A WEAK FRONT SHOULD ALSO SHIFT
SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA...THEN REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY IN OR NEAR
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY. MODELS IN
AGREEMENT THAT THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL WEAK
SHORTWAVES TO MOVE THROUGH THE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WILL THEREFORE CONTINUE
CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NOT ONLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND BUT INTO
MONDAY AS WELL. WITH THE CLOUDS...PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND FRONT IN
THE AREA...IT IS DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ANY ONE DAY FOR THE HIGHEST
TEMPERATURES THIS FAR OUT...SO WILL KEEP THE FCST HIGHS IN THE 80S
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH LOWS GENERALLY 65 TO 70.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)

CIGS ARE EXPECTED AFT 00Z AT KTOP/KFOE/KMHK WITH VIS REDUCED
BETWEEN 3SM AND 4SM THRU 11Z. FOG DEVELOPING AS THE RAIN BANDS
EXIT AFT 11Z MAY BRING CIGS DOWN TO MVFR AND PERHAPS IFR DEPENDING
ON THE THICKNESS AND LINGERING SHOWERS IN VCNTY. WILL MONITOR
POTENTIAL AT NEXT ISSUANCE. SCT MVFR CLOUDS MAY LINGER INTO THE
