AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
225 PM CDT SAT JUN 4 2005

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERNS ARE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AND SEVERE WEATHER
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.

FOR TONIGHT...
TSTMS ALREADY DVLPG ERN KS IN VERY UNSTABLE MOIST AMS AS IT SLOWLY
BECOMES UNCAPPED AND READY FOR SERVICE. SPC HI RISK AND NEWLY ISSUED
TOR WATCH FIT IN WELL. UPR LOW ERN COLO AND ATTENDING SHRTWV TO
ROTATE EWD THRU RGN TNGT PROVDG GOOD LIFT OVER SFC BOUNDR AS IT
MOVES EWD TNGT. DRY LN STILL IN WRN KS, SO SVR THREAT COULD LAST
SEVERAL HRS. ALSO THREAT OF HVY RAINFALL OVER REGN WITH SATURATED
GRD FROM YDA AND OVERNGT RAINS. THUS FFA IS CONTD ACROSS ALL BUT FAR
NWRN CWA. CUD BE A VERY BUSY EVNG....

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...THE 5H TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE ACROSS EASTERN KS
DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL PUSH THE PACIFIC
COLD FRONT EAST INTO MO BY NOON. THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES OF THE FA BEFORE FROPA
BY NOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 80S WITH DRIER CONDITIONS.

MONDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER 5H TROUGH WILL MOVE ON SHORE ACROSS
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND DIG INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKY MOUNTAINS. A
MINOR 5H TROUGH WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. EASTERN
KS WILL BE UNDER A DOWN STREAM 5H RIDGE. THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WHEN THE DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES NORTH ACROSS
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT THE RIDGE ALOFT
AND CAP MAY LIMIT ANY DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE
IN THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 60S.

WEDNESDAY/SATURDAY...THE LONGER RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A
LONGER WAVE LENGTH 5H TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. ATTM MOST OF
THE SMALLER WAVE-LENGTH 5H TROUGH WILL LIFT OUT NORTH OF THE FA. THE
GFS SHOWS A 5H TROUGH LIFTING NORTHEAST FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH LIFT TO BREAK THE
CAP AND GIVE THE AREA A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE EXPECT MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES.
&&

.TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL
11 PM CDT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6AM
