Severe Thunderstorm Warning 136, NWS Topeka, KS

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Topeka KS
336 PM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 336 PM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Convection has developed this afternoon was occurring within the
moisture axis in an area of convergence coincident with a 40 kt mid
level jet. Water vapor loops shows a wave lifting northeast across
western Kansas enhancing lift across north central Kansas this
afternoon. Main frontal boundary remains well north of the cwa this
afternoon. CAMS continue to show scattered convection into the early
evening then focusing further north along the frontal boundary in
Nebraska and Iowa. Main concern for this afternoon with the storms
will be downdraft winds as mesoanalysis shows downdraft CAPE around
1400 J/kg along with steep low level lapse rates. Have adjusted pops
for tonight further north across the cwa. There is the potential for
a back building MCS tonight mainly affecting north central and
northeast Kansas later tonight. Models continue to favor convection
from Nebraska building southward across the cwa on Tuesday. The ARW
suggests that an outflow will move south in the morning then
dissipate with additional convection developing across southern
Nebraska into north central Kansas along the frontal boundary.
Overnight and morning convection may alter any potential severe
weather. Shear is forecast to be weak within a very moist and
unstable environment on Tuesday into Tuesday night. Locally heavy
rainfall will be possible across the area with rather slow movement
of storms. Lows tonight will cool into the mid 70s with highs on
Tuesday reaching back into the 90s and heat indices remain below
advisory levels. Will continue with the heat advisory through 8 PM
today as heat indices continue around 105 this afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 336 PM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Tuesday night into Wednesday the upper trough will move into the
central Plains enhancing the lift across north central and northeast
Kansas. Storms across Nebraska into western Kansas look to form into
a forward propagating MCS during the evening hours and move
southeast into the CWA. Damaging winds and hail will be the main
hazards along with locally heavy rainfall. The upper low then
remains over northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska Wednesday night
and Thursday before exiting off to the east Thursday night or
Friday. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue through
the day on Friday. A quasi zonal flow then sets up for the weekend
with models differing with the placement of precipitation. Cooler
temperatures are expected from Wednesday through the end of the week
with highs in the 80s. Temps warm up back to around 90 by Sunday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Main concern is isolated TSRA near MHK after 20Z with models
continuing to show isolated convection. Main window looks to be
from 20Z-01Z. South winds will be gusty at times this afternoon
decreasing by 01Z. VFR conditions are expected outside of any
convection.
