Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 1146 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 407 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022 Key Messages - Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for a high impact storm system impacting the area Wednesday night into Thursday. Accumulating snow, strong northwest winds gusting to 50 mph, frigid temps, and reduced visibility from blowing snow are all anticipated hazards. - Minimum wind chill readings from 25 to 40 degrees below zero are expected across all of northeast Kansas early Thursday through Friday. Wind chills range from 20 to 30 degrees below zero Saturday morning as well. Wind Chill Watch remains in effect. Very weak low level frontogenesis behind the marching cold front this morning has developed patchy light freezing drizzle in central and eastern portions of the CWA. While travel impacts are not expected, the combination of temps quickly falling to the low 20s and light moisture may contribute to a few slick spots on roadways. Any precip diminishes before 12Z. The stratus attempts to scour out behind the cold front this afternoon while a chilly 1040 mb sfc high slides across the central plains. Despite the peak of sun, temps are likely to not make it out of the 20s today. In anticipation of the developing lee trough on Wednesday, sfc winds veer to the southeast and increase from 10 to 15 mph sustained in the afternoon. This should allow us a brief reprieve with readings in the middle to upper 30s Wednesday afternoon and early evening before the arctic front arrives. Timing of the front and shift to strong winds is coming together between guidance, entering north central Kansas after 6 PM Wednesday, bisecting the CWA around midnight and completely through the area before 6 AM Thursday. Winds behind the front increase between 20 and 30 mph with gusts in excess of 50 mph possible Thursday morning into Friday. No big changes were made to the winds or wind chills as readings fall from 15 to 30 degrees below zero Thursday morning before bottoming out between 25 and 40 degrees below zero Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. While there is a slight improvement, the impacts remain the same Saturday morning as wind chills fall between 18 to 30 degrees below zero. Even though the Wind Chill Watch carries through Friday afternoon, it is possible an additional headline will be needed for Saturday AM. The snow variable is the elusive aspect of this storm system. The overall depth of the upper low has weakened some with a slight shift north in the track from 18Z solutions. Latest ECMWF and ensemble solutions have remain largely unchanged in terms of QPF while the GFS ensemble has cut total qpf amounts in half by Thursday afternoon. The NAM and SREF solutions are more in line with the ECMWF with around 0.30 inches of liquid with this system therefore opted to drop storm total qpf. Another factor in question are the snow ratios and how dry the airmass is behind the front. Operational guidance varies between 15 to 25 to 1 so adjusted forecast ratios some to be in the middle closer to 20:1. Combination of the lowered QPF and slightly lower snow ratios resulted in snow amounts from 2 to 5 inches for the storm total. This may easily change in latter forecasts, however it is important to note that regardless of the snowfall, the strong sustained winds and falling snow will likely cause blowing snow and blizzard conditions Thursday and Thursday night. Very hazardous travel is anticipated area wide. Patchy blowing snow continues into Friday as winds sustain from 15 to 20 mph. For headlines, the Winter Storm Watch and Wind Chill Watch will likely need to be upgraded if forecast trends continue. As this upper low rapidly deepens across the Great Lakes and Northeast later this week, the stout winds gradually subside for the holiday weekend. The frigid 1040 mb ridge axis makes a beeline towards northeast Kansas as temps barely approach the low teens Saturday before dropping back down to 10 degrees below zero for actual temps Christmas morning. There is a weak signal for an embedded upper trough to quickly pass through Christmas evening. For now kept the forecast dry, but if trends continue may decide to add precip chances in. Warmer, above freezing temps are in sight for Monday and Tuesday as southerly flow returns to the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1146 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022 MVFR stratus has been slow to clear this morning with uncertainty remaining in how this stratus progresses this afternoon and into Wednesday. Still think KMHK has a better chance of clearing out later this afternoon before MVFR cigs push back in Wednesday morning. Stratus looks to impact KTOP/KFOE through the majority of the period. Winds become south-southeasterly Wednesday morning. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
