AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Topeka KS
625 PM CDT FRI AUG 19 2016

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT FRI AUG 19 2016

Water vapor imagery depicts an upper level disturbance currently
over north central Kansas. With this, a cluster of storms have
formed and along a surface front extending from western Iowa into
southwest Kansas. Storms started as elevated and have become more
surface based as they organize, with small hail and heavy rain
already reported. CAPE ahead of this activity is over 2500 J/kg,
with DCAPE values near 1000 J/kg, and shear continues to be
marginal with values near 25kts. Models indicate storms may
initially start as clusters and then merge into a line as they
move through the forecast area primarily between 3 and 10 PM. The
main threat will be locally damaging winds with any clusters that
manage to move ahead of the front and bow, but small to severe
hail is also possible. Rainfall totals are generally be around an
inch for the area, although heavier amounts up to 2.5 inches will
be possible creating a concern for localized flash flooding.
Storms will be diurnal in nature and should begin to weaken after
sunset.

Scattered showers may linger behind the front, but overall storms
will come to an end by early morning tomorrow.  Conditions will
steadily improve through the morning with skies clearing from west
to east as surface high pressure moves into the area.  A strong
pressure gradient will be present over the area tomorrow morning as
this new airmass pushes into northeast Kansas and gusty winds up to
20kts are expected through the morning, decreasing through the
afternoon. Even with clearing skies and ample sunshine tomorrow
afternoon, prevalent cold air advection will only allow highs to
top out in the mid to upper 70s tomorrow.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT FRI AUG 19 2016

Northwest flow aloft will prevail across the Central Plains on the
backside of the upper level trough moving into the Mid Mississippi
Valley Saturday night. High pressure will build into central and
eastern Kansas and gradually move east across eastern Kansas on
Sunday. Lows Sunday morning will be cool with highs in the low to
mid 50s. Forecast soundings show mixing down from 780mb to 820 mb
from west to east on Sunday which should give highs in the lower
80s. As an upper level trough moves into the Pacific Northwest
Sunday night a surface trough will develop across the Western High
Plains while the surface high moves off to the east. This will
induce a return of southerly flow across the area and expect lows
Monday morning from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Monday the upper
trough will deepen across the west with ridging across the Central
Plains. Expect highs to be a few degrees warmer on Monday with highs
in the mid 80s with a few readings in the upper 80s possible near
central Kansas. Sensible weather will be rather benign Saturday
night through Monday.

Tuesday through Friday will see off and on rain and thunderstorm
chances as a pair of weak waves traverse over a weak and slow moving
frontal boundary across northeast into east central Kansas.  On
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning it seems reasonable with the
timing of shortwaves and development of a weak to moderately strong
LLJ in place over central to north central Kansas could enhance
elevated showers and storms which eventually move into portions of
northeastern Kansas overnight.  Some stronger storms could have just
enough instability and shear have some small hail and strong gusty
winds.  Second best chance of storms for the extended period sets up
Wednesday night into Thursday early morning as second wave moves
into the region.  After this, the front should push south as a
stronger surface ridge builds in from the northwest.  Expect temps
to be overall lower during the period with highs in low to mid 80s
with overnight lows possibly around 60 by next Friday.
