Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Topeka KS
1140 AM CST Fri Feb 22 2019

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 349 AM CST Fri Feb 22 2019

The short-term forecast period will mark the transition for yet
another round of winter weather across much of the region with mix
of spring-like weather as well (i.e. rain possibly enhanced with
some instability aloft).

Currently, the upper air pattern remains in place from previous
periods with little change.  A deep semi-permanent long wave trough
remains over the western CONUS with southwesterly flow over the
region.  At the surface -- and lowest levels above the surface --
moisture has remained largely settled off to the south of the area.
This has helped keep the area clear of clouds overnight thus far.
There is at least some evidence that low stratus is beginning to
develop over southern and southeastern KS as general broad scale
ascent is slowly on the rise and moisture is showing some signs of
beginning to return within the 925-700mb layer per mesoanalysis data
and hinted at by some upstream 00Z obs (albeit shallow and meager).
Meanwhile, another area of mid level moisture and subtle shortwave
was working through western and KS into western and central NE. Some
observing sites in NE were reported light snow while most reports in
western KS were mist with upslope flow in place.

For our area, the main forecast challenge remains when any
precipition will commence across the area today.  A lead wave should
work over the region later today.  This will aid in further ascent
and further enhance isentropic ascent along the 295K surface into
later this afternoon and overnight period.  Temperatures at the
surface warm steadily today and a deep warm nose works into the area
as well.  Thinking that this will allow for all liquid rain and
drizzle over much of the area -- with some of the rain rates
potentially convectively enhanced. One challenge with this will
be along the Hwy 36 corridor as WAA is slower to win the
temperature battle today. This may actually cause a situation
where light freezing drizzle or rain could be supported late
afternoon or perhaps overnight. Due to the depth of the warm nose
and surface wet-bulb temps mainly forecast to be just above
freezing, have to low confidence to issue an advisory. If
traveling along the Hwy 36 corridor this afternoon or evening
though, one should be prepared for the possibility of a very light
glaze of ice especially on untreated surfaces. This situation is
literally a degree or two away from one type of precipitation or
the other. So, it may be possible that a short-fuse advisory has
to be considered later today before the next period which will
contain the bulk of the winter weather arrives into Saturday.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 349 AM CST Fri Feb 22 2019

Winter weather is still on tap for Saturday spreading from west to
east across the north central and northeast Kansas through the day.
Models continue to cluster around a common track for the upper low
progressing out of the southern Rockies and across Kansas on
Saturday and went with a blend of the ECMWF,CMC and the NAM. The gfs
is displaced further to the northwest and was not preferred to the
above mentioned models. Widespread forcing will overspread the
forecast area on Saturday with rain predominately expected through
the morning hours then as the upper low tracks northeast through the
afternoon a surface low is expected to move from the Oklahoma
panhandle northeast across south central and east central Kansas in
the afternoon then move off into Missouri by early evening. The left
exit region of the upper jet along with diffluent flow aloft in the
mid levels and increasing moisture advection will enhance
precipitation efficiency through the day. Problem of the day will be
two fold with the first being potential flooding resulting from
runoff due to saturated ground. The second is the transition to snow
and blowing snow. As the surface low moves northeast into east
central Kansas and into Missouri strong winds are expected on the
backside across north central and northeast Kansas. The may cause
near blizzard or blizzard conditions in the mid afternoon through
the evening hours. Will continue with the winter storm watch at this
time as adjustments in storm track may alter the timing and the
area. I have adjusted the start time to noon for parts of north
central Kansas with northeast Kansas starting after 2 PM. Potential
loss of cloud ice in the evening may lead to areas of freezing
drizzle along with the snow, but amount of ice will be less than a
tenth of an inch. Current snowfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches expected
across north central Kansas with lesser amounts elsewhere.

Looking ahead from Sunday into Tuesday dry weather is expected with
a west northwest flow and the jet retreating northward to the
Canadian border as a ridge builds across the west. There is the
potential for a small chance of precipitation on Wednesday as a
minor mid level wave moves through in the northwest flow.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1134 AM CST Fri Feb 22 2019

MVFR stratus spreads northwards over the rest of the forecast area
early this afternoon, with ceilings gradually lowering to
LIFR/VLIFR levels overnight. Areas of fog and rain/drizzle will
reduce visibilities to a mile or less at times. Patchy freezing
drizzle will be possible along and north of a line from CNK to
MYZ overnight. Winds will be from the east to northeast at 5 to
10 kts.

952 AM CST Fri Feb 22 2019

This hazardous weather outlook is for east central...north
central and northeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Patchy freezing drizzle or rain may be possible into late
afternoon through the overnight hours mainly along and north of the
Highway 36 corridor. There is a low chance that a light glaze of
ice could form mainly on untreated surfaces.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

A potentially major winter storm could affect portions of the
region on Saturday. Heavy snow will be possible Saturday
afternoon and evening, especially across parts of north-central
and northeast Kansas, which could combine with strong winds to
produce significant blowing and drifting snow. Blizzard
conditions will be possible, and dangerous travel conditions may
occur. The greatest chance for the most dangerous winter-weather
conditions will be along and northwest of a line from Council
Grove to Hiawatha, where a Winter Storm Watch is in effect.
Elsewhere, the potential for snow and strong winds will exist,
though snowfall accumulations are presently forecast to be lower.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
