Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Topeka KS
1222 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2020

As of 20Z broad northwesterly midlevel flow was present across the
Central Plains with a very subtle shortwave trough bisecting the
forecast area. A midlevel cloud deck is helping to identify this
subtle feature. At the surface a weak/diffuse surface frontal
boundary is also bisecting the area from approximately Council
Grove to near St. Joe, MO. Visible satellite imagery reveals two
zones of potential thunderstorm develop. The first is along and
southeast of I-35, where a cumulus field has developed. Two
updrafts have developed in extreme northeast Anderson County.
Additional development is possible throughout the afternoon and
early evening. The second zone is across far northeast KS into
northern MO, where an additional cumulus field has developed. The
background environment is conditionally very unstable with steep
midlevel lapse rates contributing to MLCAPE values greater than
3000 J/kg. Effective shear values are less than 30 kts and would
tend to yield multicell/pulse modes of convection. Furthermore,
Pwat values now exceed 1.6", which suggests any storm that does
develop will produce very heavy rainfall, possibly resulting in
localized flash-flooding. Combining these two features, very moist
and weakly sheared environment, increases the potential for
microburst. As the aforementioned shortwave trough progresses
southeast of the area early this evening, expect the bulk of
thunderstorm activity to decrease in coverage.

Another round of thunderstorm activity is possible overnight as
thunderstorms, which are currently developing across the High
Plains of NE/WY/CO, grow upscale and propagate across the
forecast area. Damaging winds and brief heavy rainfall will be the
primary concerns with this round. Overnight lows should bottom out
near 70.

By Thursday, the thunderstorm complex that is progged to traverse
the area tonight should exit the area by sunrise. Similar to
today, a very conditional threat for thunderstorm development
exists but confidence is very low. The background environment will
be similar today with a damaging wind and locally heavy rainfall
potential. Otherwise, another hot and humid day is expected with
highs in the 90s. Heat indices will reach the upper 90s to near
100.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2020

Transitioning into the extended, the threat for thunderstorms
continues through Friday while heat and humidity continues through
the weekend. By Thursday night, a shortwave trough is progged to
eject across the mid-MO valley region Thursday evening into the
overnight hours. This could aid in thunderstorm development
generally after 00Z Friday. Primary hazards would likely be large
hail, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall.

The southwestern US midlevel ridge will amplify and overspread
the Plains Friday into Saturday. The persistent frontal boundary
will remain near/just north of the forecast area through the day
Friday. As a result, another hot and humid day is expected with
highs in the mid to upper 90s. Heat indices will range from
100-105; subsequent forecasts will have to reevaluate for the
potential for heat advisory headlines. Model solutions continue to
have a weak shortwave trough rounding the ridge axis Friday night
across the mid-MO valley. Additional thunderstorm develop is
possible with its passage. A drier pattern looks to setup over the
weekend with the aforementioned ridge axis building into the
area. Highs look to remain in the 90s throughout the weekend with
heat indicies in the mid to upper 90s.

Model guidance continues to suggest the remnants of Tropical
Storm Cristobal may approach the forecast area Tuesday into
Wednesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1220 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will move through the
terminals through 8Z THU. The stronger wind gusts of 40 to 50 KTS
may occur around 7Z at KTOP and KFOE and 35 to 45 KTS at KMHK
just after 6Z. The line should move southeast of the terminals
after 8Z. The heavy rain may drop visibilities down to 1 to 2
miles briefly. After the line moves through expect VFR conditions
after 10Z.
