Area forecast discussion, May 31, 12:07 AM CDT, 3 hours 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
1207 AM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWING CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER WESTERN MO MOVING
SLOWLY EWD AHEAD OF ONE MID-LEVEL TROUGH.  HOWEVER...THERE IS A VERY
SHORT WAVELENGTH BETWEEN THAT TROUGH AND THE FOLLOWING IMPULSE THAT
APPEARS TO BE OVER WRN KS AT MID AFTERNOON.  SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FIRED OVER WRN KS AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE AND THEY
ARE MOVING EWD.  SHORT RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE NOT RESOLVING THE
DETAILS OF THIS VERY WELL...HOWEVER THE 17Z HRRR DOES NOW HAVE A
LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING INTO CENTRAL KS BY 21Z.  IT FORECASTS THIS
TO BREAK UP WITH THE REMNANTS MOVING ACROSS NORTHEAST KS DURING THE
EVENING...AND THEN ANOTHER SMALL CONVECTIVE SYSTEM MOVES SOUTHEAST
OUT OF NEBRASKA INTO NORTHEAST KS LATER TONIGHT.  DO NOT HAVE HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO...ALTHOUGH SOME TYPE OF SMALL MCS WOULD
APPEAR TO BE LIKELY IN CENTRAL/NORTHEAST KS LATER TONIGHT.  THIS
POSSIBLE SYSTEM WOULD APPEAR TO MOVE THROUGH FAST ENOUGH AS TO NOT
CAUSE SIG PROBLEMS WITH HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING.  EARLIER CONCERNS ABOUT
WARM AIR ADVECTION CAUSING LIFT AND THUNDERSTORM AREA WITH
POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER EC KS TONIGHT ARE LESSENING AS
CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY SAGS WAY SOUTH INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
THUS...HAVE CANCELLED FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT WAS IN EFFECT FOR THIS
AFTERNOON...AND AM NOT PLANNING ON GOING OUT WITH A NEW ONE AT THIS
TIME.  CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS OF PRECIPITATION EVOLUTION TONIGHT
IS NOT HIGH.

ON FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD MAKE IT FAR ENOUGH SOUTH BY
AFTERNOON THAT THE MAIN CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WOULD BE IN
EC KS...MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE.  LOWS TONIGHT
EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 60 OVER NC KS AND IN THE MID 60S EC.  HIGHS ON
FRIDAY ARE FORECAST TO MAX OUT AROUND 80.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

DETAILS ONLY GET MURKIER FOR FRIDAY EVENING...BUT AT LEAST SOME
CHANCE SHOULD EXIST AHEAD OF THE SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY FOR SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN LOCATIONS. SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WOULD SUPPORT A
SEVERE CONCERN THROUGH THIS TIME AS WELL..BUT THE SOUTHEASTWARD
SHIFTING UPPER LOW SHOULD PUSH THE EFFECTIVE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA
BY DAWN. COLD AIR ADVECTION SETS IN FOR SATURDAY ON NORTHWEST
BREEZES WITH SOME STRATUS/STRATOCU DEVELOPING BY MID AFTERNOON.
WEAKENING WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES SPELL A COOL NIGHT SATURDAY
NIGHT. SURFACE RIDGE SETS UP FOR SUNDAY WITH LITTLE IF ANY
MODERATION TO HIGHS.

GULF MOISTURE DOES NOT GET COMPLETELY SCOURED OUT...AND BY LATE
MONDAY SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING NORTHERN ROCKIES CYCLONE
WILL BRING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BACK. BEST CHANCES LOOK TO BE
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON A MID LEVEL
WAVE PASSING. TEMPS SHOULD GENERALLY BE NEAR EARLY JUNE NORMALS SAVE
ANY DAYTIME MCS ACTIVITY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1132 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE I 70 CORRIDOR AND SHOULD
PERSIST THROUGH 09Z IN THE TERMINALS BEFORE DECREASING/ENDING FROM WEST
TO EAST IN THE 08-11Z TIMEFRAME. EXPECT TEMPS MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS
IN THE STRONGER ELEVATED CONVECTIVE CELLS BEFORE DIMINISHING AND
ENDING BEFORE SUNRISE. BEYOND 11Z VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE
RULE...ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER INITIALLY. SFC WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY VEER THROUGH THE DAY...BUT REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT SOUTHWEST
TO WEST.

&&

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