AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 332 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2005 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST PROBLEMS THIS MORNING ARE PRECIP CHANCES. MCS THAT ORIGINATED IN EASTERN WY AND WESTERN NEB YESTERDAY AFTERNOON IS NOW MOVING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KS. WITH LOW LEVEL JET FEEDING INTO IT AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY DOWN STREAM FROM THE CONVECTION...THINK PRECIP WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND HAVE INCLUDED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MID MORNING. OTHERWISE...MODELS SHOW MID LEVEL CAP STRENGTHENING DURING THE DAY TODAY. ONCE THE PRECIP ENDS...THINK THE REST OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DRY. THE 00Z NAM INDICATED POSSIBLE ELEVATED CONVECTION REDEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL KS WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASING AROUND 600MB. ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KS FOR POSSIBLE ISOLATED PRECIP LATE TONIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER THEY ARE SLOWING THE FRONT UP ACROSS CENTRAL KS OVERNIGHT AND IT DOES NOT MOVE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z THU. THE GFS DOES NOT PRODUCE NEARLY AS MUCH QPF AS THE NAM DOES ALONG THE STALLING BOUNDARY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THINK THE GFS IS DRYER DUE TO A STRONGER CAP AND LOWER DEWPOINT TEMPS ALONG THE FRONT. BUT THINK THAT WITH THE FRONT PROVIDING CONVERGENCE WITH A VEERING LOW LEVEL JET THAT AT LEAST ISOLATED AND POSSIBLE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP WEDNESDAY EVENING AND CONTINUE OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IN THE COVERAGE OF PRECIP IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT SO POPS REMAIN AT 30%. THE FRONT GRADUALLY SLIDES SOUTH DURING THE DAY THURSDAY SHIFTING THE BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIP SOUTH. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS TO REFLECT THIS AND REMOVED POPS ALONG THE NORTHERN ROWS OF COUNTIES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE VERY HOT UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND COOLER AIR FILTERS IN. MODELS WARM THE 850 TEMPS TO AROUND 30C...AND INDICATE THE THERMAL RIDGE POSITIONED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR WEDNESDAY WITH 1000-500 THICKNESSES AROUND 1585 DECAMETERS. SEVERAL AREAS ACROSS CENTRAL KS COULD SEE TRIPLE DIGITS TODAY...WITH THE HEAT SPREADING FURTHER EAST FOR WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY MORNING LOWS SHOULD NOT FALL VERY FAR WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS KEEPING THE BOUNDARY LAYER WELL MIXED. HAVE ADJUSTED MINS UP INTO THE MID 70S FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING. SURFACE RIDGING AND CAA BEGIN TO MOVE IN DURING THE DAY THURSDAY PROVIDING SOME TEMPORARY RELIEF. GOING FORECAST FOR THURSDAY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. MODELS SHOW THE SURFACE RIDGE STILL OVER THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THEREFORE HAVE LOWERED MINS AND MAXES FOR FRIDAY TO THE MID 60S AND MID TO UPPER 80S RESPECTIVELY. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AFTER FRIDAY. && .TOP...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && WOLTERS
