AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
410 PM CDT Thu May 7 2015

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 405 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

Challenging forecast again tonight with somewhat disorganized
convection this evening and overnight.  Band of stronger
thunderstorms forming in weak convergence and max instability axis
from central KS to southeast Nebraska.  0-6 km bulk shear in that
area in the 30 kt range while 0-1 km shear is weak.  Storms could
display some organization with hail and wind the main severe
threats.  Very heavy rain may also be a concern with slow storm
movement and the potential for some training.  Showers and isolated
thunderstorms in east central KS in an area of weak isentropic lift
and have persisted for awhile today and are not going away by late
afternoon.  RAP and last few HRRR runs have done alright with
development along boundary/instability axis and have this area
persist and then move southeast overnight.  Heavy rain will be the
main threat later tonight.

Challenge for Friday is how much remnant showers/storms will occur
in the morning.  Believe best chances of persistence into the
morning will be in east central Kansas.  Several models are then
supportive of a shortwave impulse coming out of the southwest moving
into forecast area around early evening on Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 405 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

By Friday evening severe convection will form along the dry line
across far southwest KS. That area of convection will likely expand
in coverage as it moves northeastward through the overnight hours.
At the surface a warm front will begin to lift back northward into
the day Saturday. Convection looks to generally track along this
front passing through most of southern KS. Lapse rates decrease
during the evening hours as mid to upper 60 dewpoints spread into
the southern half of the forecast area. This places cape values in
the 1500-2500 j/kg valid at 00Z. Models agree that the cape will
decrease, but remains somewhat modest as the deep layer shear
increases to around 35 kts. The NAM is the most aggressive with an
increasing low level jet developing over southern KS as the storms
approach the area. Given the parameters in place strong to severe
storms are possible. The models are fairly consistent in bringing a
decent amount of QPF through the area by 12Z Sat. Flooding will
definitely be a concern especially given the recent rainfall and
saturated ground at some locations. There is a chance for a dry
period during the day Sat before the next round associated with the
main mid level low ejecting out of the Rockies. The chance for
severe storms overnight Saturday is greater across the area given
the dry line will be further east into central KS. Also, the deep
layer shear looks to be closer to 50 kts and the cape remains as
high as 2000 j/kg. Low level jet increases again leading to wind
profile favorable for supercells and possibly tornadoes. This threat
may diminish during the early morning hours as depicted by the NAM,
which barely brings QPF into the area overnight. The dry line
continues eastward as the main mid level low lifts through NE and
SD. By the time the atmosphere destabilizes the dry line will be
located somewhere in far eastern KS where storms are likely to form.
The vertical wind profile appears to be more unidirectional out of
the southwest, which is more parallel to the boundary possibly
leading to more cell interaction. So discrete supercells initially
may quickly transition into a cluster or line, and there is plenty
of cape and deep layer shear for these storms to be severe Sun
afternoon.

The upper level system finally begins to lift northeast late Sunday
into Monday and becomes and open wave by Tuesday over the Upper
Mississippi Valley.  Dry and stable conditions are left in its wake,
which will be very needed by this point as the area needs to dry out
a bit before the next system develops.  The upper levels will
transition to a more zonal flow pattern over the Central Plains.
Meanwhile, the next trough will begin to set up over the Western
CONUS.  At this point, it could be a similar upper level pattern
developing as has recently been in place.  However, at this point,
it doesn't appear moisture recovery, necessary for as wet of a
pattern, will be in place at least through Thursday night.  A quick
upper level shortwave may be ejected out of the Southern Rockies in
the afternoon time frame on Wednesday and possibly interact with a
weak warm boundary near the KS/NE border.  There could be some
isolated convection flare up, but at this point it doesn't appear to
be too noteworthy of an event.  Will have to stay tuned as this is
too far out to have much confidence at this point in how exactly it
will play out.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFs through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 1242 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

Deck of MVFR stratus hanging in over central KS and KMHK. Expect
this to lift early this afternoon. Thunderstorm chances begin
again by mid to late afternoon at MHK and early evening farther
east at FOE and TOP. Other than in thunderstorms, could get
another stratus deck in later tonight with MVFR ceilings.
