NWS Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 2:17 AM CST, 2 hours 19 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 317 AM CDT SUN JUN 5 2011 .DISCUSSION... 08Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. A CUT OFF LOW WAS SPINNING OFF THE COAST OF CA...AND THE MEAN WESTERLIES WERE OVER SOUTHERN CANADA. FOR TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A HOT A DRY FORECAST IS EXPECTED AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE KEEPS THE BETTER FORCING TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. BECAUSE OF THIS A CAPPING INVERSION SHOULD PREVENT ANY STORM DEVELOPMENT WITH GENERAL SUBSIDENCE UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. THE GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR A THERMAL RIDGE TO DEVELOP BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS PUSHING 100. THE GFS SEEMS TO BE THE ODD MODEL OUT IN THIS REGARD BY KEEPING COOLER 850 TEMPS OVER THE AREA AND NOT MIXING THE BOUNDARY LAYER OUT. BECAUSE OF THIS THINK THE GFS IS WAY OVERDONE WITH ITS DEWPOINT PROG DURING THE AFTERNOON AND WOULD EXPECT THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE TO MIX OUT MORE IN LINE WITH THE NAM PROGS. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN TUESDAY AND BY WEDNESDAY...MODELS BRING A WEAK BOUNDARY INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW THIS BOUNDARY REMAINING IN THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW AND THE OCCASIONAL SHORTWAVE LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODELS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT WITH THE ECMWF WANTING TO BRING IT FURTHER SOUTH BY THE END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER WITH THE LOWERING HEIGHTS AND BOUNDARY IN THE AREA...HAVE CONTINUED WITH SOME POPS FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY. WHILE THERE WILL NOT BE CONTINUOUS PRECIP THROUGH THE PERIOD...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR CONVECTION JUST ABOUT ANY TIME. WE SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN THE HEAT BY FRIDAY DUE TO THE BOUNDARY MOVING IN...LOWER HEIGHTS AND THE PRECIP CHANCES. WOLTERS && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WEAK BOUNDARY IN NORTHERN KANSAS WILL MIX NORTH SUNDAY. LIMITED MOISTURE AND WEAK LOW LEVEL WINDS SHOULD KEEP ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN CHECK. WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT WITH DAYTIME HEATING SUNDAY. 65 && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
