AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Topeka KS
620 PM CDT SUN AUG 28 2016

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
Issued at 251 PM CDT SUN AUG 28 2016

Storms have begun to form within the tropical air mass in place
across the area. The instability is moderate and will support strong
updrafts, also soundings show a moist environment through most of
the vertical profile. This in turn may help to produce a wet
microburst at the surface. Although the deep layer shear is minimal
therefore updrafts will not last long. The storm outflows will then
support further development through the evening. Storm motion is
rather slow and several cells may train over the same locations, and
rainfall rates are efficient. All together could not rule out
localized gusty wind, heavy rainfall, and perhaps small hail. Since
most of this activity will be diurnally driven the coverage should
decrease this evening. Any remaining outflows may keep showers and
storms into the late evening as depicted by high res models. Models
then focus the showers and perhaps storms across north central KS
tonight. The warm air advection appears rather weak, but models are
hinting at a wave tracking over western KS into southern NE. This
activity could linger into tomorrow morning especially given the
potential wave. Some models are forecasting light wind and clear
skies across portions of northeast KS. With recent rainfall some
areas could develop ground fog around sunrise. A similar environment
is forecasted for tomorrow so expect storms developing late morning
and early afternoon. Models do show that wave will possibly deepen
as is tracks over NE, which may contribute to large scale lift
during the day. Moderate instability, weak shear, and high moisture
tomorrow will support storms capable of localized gusty wind and
heavy rainfall.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 251 PM CDT SUN AUG 28 2016

The weather pattern remains fairly stagnant through Tuesday and
Wednesday with very weak flow and ample moisture aloft with weak
low level forcing in the region each day. The difference will be
that the mid-level vorticity maxima will be closer to the local
forecast area and may help support more than just the diurnally
driven daily convection during this period. Expect several of
these impulses along with occasional MCV structures to provide
this extra vertical motion, and also to enhance local moisture
content and moisture flux into smaller areas. Pwat values will be
typically in the 1.75-2" range, and all of these ingredients along
with the convective nature of the precipitation suggest that
mainly localized areas of heavy rainfall and flooding will be
possible. Could also see periods of training precipitation so can
not rule out a few even smaller areas of very heavy rain totals
through Wednesday night. Temperatures through this time frame will
see a slight cooling trend as there should be more cloud cover in
the area but still expect highs mainly in the 80s.

Thursday a few storms could linger in southwestern parts of the
forecast area, but then expect a dry period through Friday night
as dry high pressure builds in from the northeast. While the
airmass will be cooler and drier, there will also be more of the
August sunshine so highs are likely to maintain in the 80s and
lows in the 60s.

Southerly return flow builds back into the area for next weekend
with additional northern stream disturbances skirting the local
area and eventually forcing another decaying front into the
central Plains. This is cause for a return of thunderstorm chances
along with warmer temperatures and more humidity for much of the
area.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday)
Issued at 620 PM CDT SUN AUG 28 2016

Ordinary TS are expected to continue weakening with the loss of
daylight. Therefore have removed the mention of VCTS as chances
appear to be diminishing. VFR conditions are forecast to persist
into Monday. Will have to deal with ISOLD to SCT convection in the
afternoon. However predictability remains to low to include in
the forecast at this time.
