969 FXUS63 KTOP 110436 AFDTOP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 1036 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Above normal temperatures through the rest of the week. - Next chance for rain appears to hold off until Sat-Sun. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 105 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 Even with a sunny sky, temperatures are slow to climb today with Arctic high pressure overhead. The surface high slowly slides off to the southeast tonight as warm air advection and southerly surface wind develops overnight ahead of a weak trough. Above normal temperatures return tomorrow, with highs in the 60s to low 70s for the rest of the week and lows in upper 30s to 40s. The jet stream remains north of the area through the week, which should lead to a dry forecast until the weekend. The next big pattern change is favored to arrive Saturday into Sunday. A deep upper-level low is depicted moving into the southern Plains Sunday in all of the major long term models. How far north/south this low moves will depend on how much/little rain we receive from it. The 12 UTC runs show a more northward track, bringing most of the area at least a little precipitation Sunday into Monday. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1036 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 Some gusts have developed upstream where the low-level jet has formed with warming temperatures locally, indicating mixing increasing. Given this, have kept the going forecast intact with minor gusts and LLWS for most of the next several hours. Winds still on track to steadily diminish from mainly the west over the last half of the forecast. VFR conditions continue. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Jones AVIATION...Poage
