AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
1102 PM CST Fri Feb 28 2014

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 950 PM CST FRI FEB 28 2014

Have updated the forecast to hold off on the patchy freezing
drizzle until after 12Z Saturday. The RAP/NAM/GFS isentropic progs
show the upglide developing between 12 and 15Z. Think this is when
any patchy freezing drizzle is most likely to occur, and it still
looks like some flurries could fly through the day as the lower
portion of the forecast soundings cool down enough for dendrites
to form.

The 00Z NAM has not cleared things up much. It is now more
aggressive in advecting dry air in from the north and ends the
precip by Sunday morning. Do not have much confidence in making
adjustments based solely off the NAM so will maintain the watch
for now. In general it looks like we could see some isentropic
upglide through the day Saturday, then a band of frontogenesis
moving across central and eastern KS overnight. Forecast soundings
from the 00Z NAM continue to suggest sleet may be the more
predominate precip type with its warm nose remaining over much of
the area until midnight. With no cyclogenesis or strong synoptic
scale forcing progged by any of the models (upper closed low
progged to weaken quite a bit as it moves across the Rockies and
become an open wave moving across OK) am wondering if a shorter
duration event is becoming more likely. Will wait to digest the
GFS and other models before making substantial changes to the
forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 404 PM CST FRI FEB 28 2014

Current sfc analysis places the cold front or trough across central
KS and into SE NE. The arctic front associated with the cold air is
plowing southward through central NE at the moment, and should reach
the northwest forecast area in about an hour or two, and exit the
southeast forecast area by around midnight. Ahead of the front low
level moisture has been slow to spread northward, but has finally
made it into most of northern KS in the form of a stratus deck.
With the moisture in place isolated to scattered rain showers are
possible along and behind the front mainly north of interstate 70
for the rest of this evening as it progresses eastward along the NE
KS border. Any precip that falls should remain light. Winds shift
behind the front the to NNE and increase to around 15 mph with gusts
up to 20 mph. Some of the latest guidance is suggesting the low
level lift and saturation remains over eastern KS through the
overnight hours. With temperatures rapidly falling behind the front
there could be a period of light freezing drizzle. As the deep cold
air continues to filter southward temperatures within the layer of
lift may be cold enough for ice growth therefore flurries could mix
in as well. The NAM keeps the lift through tomorrow afternoon,
although there could be a lull early tomorrow morning before picking
up again ahead of the approaching system. Do not expect much impact
from the freezing drizzle since the warm temperatures today and
flurries could mix in as well. Also not confident how long the low
level lift persists behind the front. Temperatures will bottom out
overnight and should reach the low 10s in north central KS to the
mid 20s in far east central KS by sunrise tomorrow. Temperatures
will basically remain steady through the day tomorrow with the highs
only a few degrees warmer than the morning lows as of now. As the
lift and saturation increases in the mid levels tomorrow afternoon
snow could develop especially areas north of interstate 70. Models
do agree that the warm nose could still be present tomorrow
afternoon as far north as the NE KS border so could not rule out
periods of sleet as well.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 404 PM CST FRI FEB 28 2014

The bulk of the attention today was placed on the period from
Saturday evening through Monday morning, when a potentially
significant winter storm combined with dangerously cold wind chills
will impact the area. From a forecast perspective, uncertainty is
higher than normal and the potential spread of forecast solutions is
quite large. So, while the entire area will experience hazardous
winter weather, the magnitude of the winter storm remains very much
in question.

In this rather complex weather scenario, the first player will be an
upper trough and jet max that moves well to our north and into the
Great Lakes region. This system will send increasingly cold air into
Kansas, air which will also be a bit drier in nature. The associated
frontogenesis and favorable jet dynamics will also provide enhanced
vertical motion across the area and associated precipitation. At the
same time...a well developed storm system will move out of the
southern Rockies. Ahead of this trough, a broad area of warm moist
advection will overtake the Southern Plains and nose into the
Central Plains...overriding the cold air incoming from the north.
This will create a very dynamic situation by Saturday evening
through Sunday morning during which a battle between dry cold
advection from the north and moist warm advection from the south
will result in bands of probably intense vertical motion. In more
detail, these bands will be comprised mainly of intense
frontogenesis in the mid levels, isentropic ascent within and above
the nose of warm advection aloft, favorable jet dynamics, and the
coincidence of this lift with weakly stable to convectively unstable
thermal profiles. The expected result is a WSW to ENE oriented band
of heavy precipitation gradually moving south across the area from
Saturday evening into Sunday. As the southwest trough approaches,
the progression of the heavy precipitation band will slow and nearly
stop...with some model guidance suggesting additional precipitation
developing north of the heaviest band and spreading back across the
area. Some of the latest mid day guidance however is more aggressive
with the intrusion of the northerly dry air and maintains a track
of the upper trough a bit farther south...which would limit precip
in northern parts of the forecast area on Sunday.

There are currently two primary questions with this forecast. The
first is the magnitude of the dry air incoming from the north. If
this airmass marches well into the forecast area on Sunday...which
would also be tied to the storm track of the incoming upper
trough...then precip amounts on Sunday would be substantially lower
especially north of I-70. If this precip falls, it would be entirely
snow so any reduction in precip on Sunday would be a stark reduction
in snow totals on top of any sleet/snow combo that falls with the
heaviest band. The other primary forecast question revolves around
whether we get more sleet or snow as the heaviest band drifts
overhead. Sleet is definitely favored early in the event near and
south of I-70, and it could pile up quickly before turning over to
snow. This would cause snow amounts to be much lower however. The
current forecast reflects this in lower snow amounts along the I-35
corridor despite higher expected liquid content. A quicker change
over to snow would obviously result in less sleet and a lot more
snow. As it stands, expect some locations especially near and south
of I-35 to be in the 0.5 to 1 inch of sleet range. Snow amounts near
the Nebraska border should be lightest...probably in the 1-5 inch
range with more uncertainty farther south. Would not be surprised to
have several observations of 6 to 8 inches in addition to some
sleet. With all of this in mind, have maintained the winter storm
watch for most of the area, but did issue a winter weather advisory
for the far northern counties as the probability of a non-warning
winter weather event is likely in this area.

Wind chills will be very cold from Saturday night through Monday
morning, and will not rise above -10 during the day on Sunday before
approaching -25 on Monday morning.  Beyond Monday, a gradual warming
trend is expected with no high impact weather expected through the
remainder of the forecast.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Saturday Night)
Issued at 1102 PM CST FRI FEB 28 2014

Models are in reasonable agreement that MVFR CIGS will persist
through the period. The RAP and NAM isentropic surfaces continue
to show relatively deep upglide developing by mid morning, and think
there is a good chance for patchy freezing drizzle and flurries in
the late morning and through the afternoon. Confidence in the
start of the heavier banded sleet and snow with possible IFR CIGS
and VSBY is a little more marginal, and may begin closer to 06Z
Sunday. Therefore will not include any IFR conditions at this time
and let later shifts refine the timing.
