NWS Forecaster Discussion
822 fxus63 ktop 212330 afdtop Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Topeka Kansas 530 PM CST Sat Nov 21 2009 Update... update for 00z aviation. && Discussion... see previous discussion. && Aviation... tough forecast cloud/visby wise overnight. Southeasterly flow continues at all taf sites...as does a stream of clouds out of the south southwest currently over ctrl Kansas and bringing MVFR ceilings to the area. Models and satellite trends indicate some decreasing dewpoints in the eastern portions. However all models suggesting some kind of inversion to develop around 1500ft. At this time think trapping of moisture and clouds under this inversion will keep MVFR ceilings going with some reductions to visby as temperatures slowly fall. Have kept sites clearing up 15z and beyond. At this time atmosphere seems too mixed for fog potential but saturated enough for haze. 67 && Previous discussion... /issued 302 PM CST Sat Nov 21 2009/ Discussion... Short term (through sunday)... Pressure gradient has tightened up over Kansas this afternoon in response to a Lee trough. Despite cloud cover...southerly winds and some warm advection has allowed temperatures to rise into the upper 50s and lower 60s. While low level moisture is in place and producing the cloud cover...deep moisture and lift are quite limited and no precipitation is anticipated. It appears that low level moisture will hang on into tomorrow morning while the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere remain relatively dry. It is not the greatest fog setup...but won't be surprised to see some patchy morning fog and perhaps a bit of drizzle as well. Low temperatures should stay warmer than last night with the slightly warmer airmass and likely cloud cover. Short wave trough energy will swing across the plains on Sunday with some enhanced middle level lift due to positive vorticity advection and jet divergence...but it appears that deep moisture will remain limited. Rain chances will be slightly better to the north over Nebraska while Kansas should stay primarily dry with a chance for some morning drizzle. High temperatures will be similar to today but possibly a degree or two warmer as there should be a bit more sunshine. Barjenbruch Long term (sunday night through Tuesday night)... Sunday night through Tuesday night...an upper level trough will dig southeast from the Pacific northwest across the Central Plains on Monday night and Tuesday. Both the NAM and ec dig the upper level trough farther west across the Central High plains then across northern Kansas into southern Iowa Monday night and Tuesday. While the GFS has a more northern track...digging the 500 mb trough southeast across the Central Plains into central Iowa. At this time...i'm leaning more towards the NAM and ec track...this will provide much of the County Warning Area a chance for light rain developing along the Pacific cold front late Monday afternoon and with enough ascent ahead of the upper trough to keep light rain chances through Tuesday. It may get cold enough aloft and at the surface for some of the rain across the northern counties to become mixed with or change over to snow late Monday night into Tuesday morning. The best area for heavier snowfall will be across central and eastern NE along the deformation axis on the northwest side of the upper low where frontogenetical forcing will be maximized...along with the better trowal formation. I did not place in any snow accumulations across north central Kansas at this time...but if the transition over to snow is quick enough Monday night there may be the potential for a inch or two of wet snow...but surface temperatures should remain at or above freezing Monday night. As the 500 mb trough lifts east and northeast across the Midwest Tuesday afternoon...we should see the wrap around precipitation end from southwest to northeast across the County Warning Area through the afternoon hours. Low-level cold air advection...cloud cover and periods of showers on Tuesday will cause temperatures to be much cooler with highs in the 40s. Wednesday through Friday...a longer wave-length upper level trough will develop across the east central Continental U.S.. this will keep eastern Kansas under northwest flow aloft with most of the precipitation remaining well north and east of the County Warning Area. Highs will continue to be cool with middle 40s to lower 50s. Overnight lows will be in the middle 20s to lower 30s. Saturday...temperatures may warm up again as a downstream upper ridge amplifies over the plains and low-level winds become southerly. Highs Saturday will reach the middle 50s to lower 60s...may be a bit warmer is skies are mostly to partly sunny. Gargan && Top watches/warnings/advisories...none. && $$
