NWS Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 3, 1:39 PM CST, 6 hours 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 239 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007 .DISCUSSION... NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW CONTINUES ITS EASTWARD PROGRESSION INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES STATES. A FAIRLY MOIST LOW LEVEL PROFILE COMBINED WITH AMPLE SURFACE HEATING AND AN APPROACHING SUBTLE DISTURBANCE WILL LEAD TO A SMALL WINDOW OF MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND LIFT FOR LOW TOPPED CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS TONIGHT. AS SUNSET COMMENCES...EXISTING CONVECTION WILL QUICKLY BEGIN TO DISSIPATE WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS. NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN ON MONDAY WITH NEAR UNIDIRECTIONAL NORTHWESTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE COLUMN AND YET ANOTHER SMALL DISTURBANCE TIMED TO DROP THROUGH EASTERN NEBRASKA DURING PEAK HEATING. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER WILL BE CONFINED TO MAINLY FAR NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. TEMPERATURE WISE...NOT MUCH OF A CHANGE FROM TODAY WITH EVER SO SLIGHTLY WARMER H85 TEMPS YIELDING TO A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. BLAIR TUES/WED...COOLER HIGH PRESSURE DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO OUR AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL KEEP MOST AREAS IN THE UPPER 70S LOWER 80S. SOME PRECIP GENERATES ALONG THE BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH AND BACK WESTWARD INTO THE HIGH PLAINS DURING DAYTIME HEATING. LOW LEVEL JET THEN KICKS IN AND DRAWS 850MB FRONT NORTHWARD BACK TOWARDS THE KS/NEBRASKA BORDER AROUND 6Z WED. BOUNDARY AND LLJ ARE JUXTAPOSED FAVORABLY FOR CONVECTION FORMING OUT WEST TO PROPAGATE EASTWARD...AND THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN CORFIDI VECTORS TO THE SOUTHEAST. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS FOR THE AREA DUE TO POTENTIAL MCS MOVING FROM HIGH PLAINS INTO OUR NORTHEAST FOR EARLY WEDNESDAY. FLOW THEN TRANSITIONS TO SOUTHWESTERLY ALOFT...AND BY THE AFTERNOON MIXING AHEAD OF LEE TROF WILL BRING APPROX 20C MID LEVEL TEMPS DOWN TO THE SURFACE AS UPPER 80S WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS. BETTER SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR WEDNESDAY EVENING IS TAKING A NORTHERLY SHIFT AS CIN INCREASING AND COLDER AIR ALOFT IS FARTHER NORTH THIS RUN. WILL HAVE TO WATCH AS EVENT DRAWS CLOSER...SINCE GOOD SHEAR AND INSTABILITY REMAIN AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY IN OUR AREA AS IT MOVES SOUTHWARD. THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...UNSETTLED PATTERN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND WEEKEND. WEAK WESTERN TROF COUNTERED BY HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN US RESULTS IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CONTIGUOUS US. STRONG LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD...AND ALTHOUGH LATITUDINAL PLACEMENT OF THAT SYSTEM DIFFERS BETWEEN MODELS...END RESULT WILL BE TO STAGNATE PROGRESS OF THE OVERALL PATTERN WESTWARD. SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES THROUGH THE FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN US THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AND DRAWS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS. WITHOUT A STRONG KICKER TO PUSH IT SOUTH...BOUNDARY THEN HANGS UP ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. AMOUNT OF COOLER AIR THAT CAN REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS OUR CWA WILL DEPEND SOMEWHAT ON THE STRENGTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST. FOR NOW WILL PLAY TEMPS NEAR NORMAL AND HPC GUIDANCE BUT NOTE IT WOULDNT TAKE MUCH TO SHIFT WARMER AIR BACK NORTH OVER THE STATE. WILL KEEP CHANCE OF PRECIP IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. 67 && .AVIATION... ENTIRE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY CURRENTLY COVERED WITH LOW LEVEL CUMULUS FIELD AND THIS SHOULD PERSIST UNTIL A COUPLE HOURS AFTER SUNSET WHEN COVERAGE WILL BECOME MUCH LESS. A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS BUT DONT ANTICIPATE ANY NOTABLE ISSUES WITH THIS CONVECTION. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE DECOUPLING OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
