Flash Flood Warning 39, NWS Topeka, KS

Area Forecast Discussion

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019

Main concern this afternoon and evening will be convection rapidly
developing across the area. Latest satellite trends show building
cumulus along a frontal boundary across central Kansas as well as a
northward moving warm front across east central Kansas. These were
developing in areas of deep moisture convergence, especially just
north of the surface low in south central Kansas. Good deep moisture
advection was occurring across eastern Kansas at 19Z and surface dew
points have risen into the mid and upper 70s across east central
Kansas. The atmosphere was becoming increasingly unstable with
SBCAPE exceeding 4000 J/kg across much of the CWA at 19Z. Effective
shear of 30 to 45 kts was observed with the highest across north
central Kansas. Some backing of the low level winds in central and
north central Kansas will locally enhance low level helicity so
cannot rule out an isolated tornado.

Also along with the severe threat of winds and hail will be locally
heavy rainfall potential. As stated above good deep moisture flux
into eastern Kansas will make for efficient precipitation potential
where storms could quickly produce 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
precipitable water values look to rise to near 1.8 inches across the
area. Expect one round this evening and then a second toward sunrise
from an MCS from western Kansas. Given the amount of moisture
expected have decided to issue a flash flood watch for much of the
area through 1 PM Sunday. May need to possibly extend parts of east
central Kansas longer depending on where the frontal boundary is
located. Overall severe threat could be minimized if morning
convective debris limits destabilization in the afternoon hours.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019

Majority of the active convection should be well east and southeast
of the area by Sunday evening.  Axis of short-wave trough still
upstream by 00Z Monday with strengthening upper-level jet rotating
northeastward toward eastern Nebraska by 06z Monday.  Significant
westerly component to low-level winds Sunday evening, but appears
enough lingering modest instability could be in place for some
scattered evening convection, primarily across northeast and east-
central Kansas.

Seasonably cool and dry day for Monday.  Increasingly moist and
conditionally unstable air begins to return Monday night.  Despite
decent low-level theta-e advection, soundings look generally
unsupportive of convection until later Tuesday.  By that time,
typical summer airmass in place with abundant CAPE and only limited
convective inhibition, but also not much in the way of any
substantial source of initiation.  GFS does kick out some modest QPF
late Tuesday. There may be a very weak boundary near KS/NE border
then, and going forecast has this well-covered with low-chance PoPs.

Wed-Fri look more like summer with slowly rising mid-level heights
and weakening flow. Could be some isolated late-afternoon/early-
evening thunderstorm activity as mid-level temps don't become
prohibitively warm through the forecast period.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 635 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019

Clusters of TSRA are expected to continue at or in vicinity of
terminals throughout the overnight period. Highest confidence
in reduced categories is through 06Z before the first wave exits
eastward. Short term models are trying to lift another wave of
TSRA during the morning period, but there is still some
uncertainty with coverage. Behind the departing sfc trough, light
southerly winds veer towards the southwest towards the end of the
period.
