057 FXUS63 KTOP 251114 AFDTOP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 614 AM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Precipitation chances continue to diminish for the late week and weekend. - Near normal temperatures into early next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 232 AM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024 Above normal mid/upper level height anomalies will remain in place over the central and northern Rockies over the next several days as Tuesday`s upper trough and the developing Gulf system linger over the Deep South. This keeps a rather tranquil pattern in place with little chance for precipitation and fairly steady temperatures. Surface high pressure centered over western Kansas combined with evening clearing and some areas of wet ground may give rise to some shallow fog through sunrise this morning. Will monitor satellite and observation trends for inclusion but the chance for an Advisory is rather low (15%). The track of the conglomeration of the upper lows to the southeast continues to trend farther east in recent model runs and the chances for precipitation in the NBM continue to fall in kind. The next significant system of note appears to be a modified Pacific cold front that passes in the Monday to Monday night timeframe which brings temperatures down noticeably, though far from impacting those with sensitive vegetation. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 614 AM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024 Indications of ground fog have been intermittent overnight but give enough evidence for inclusion at TOP and MHK early in this forecast. VFR conditions will be the rule otherwise in and dry lower and middle troposphere. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Poage AVIATION...Poage
