This bulk download tool provides the NWS text
in a raw form, hopefully directly usable by your processing system.
You can either provide a complete 6-character PIL/AFOS ID or provide
the 3-character base ID (e.g., AFD
). The start and end
dates represent 00 UTC for those dates. The Zip format is useful as
the filenames will have the product timestamp, which is useful for
when the product format has ambiguous timestamps.
706 FXUS63 KTOP 062319 AFDTOP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 619 PM CDT Mon Sep 6 2021 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 142 PM CDT Mon Sep 6 2021 Warm and dry highlights the forecast this week. A surface trough, currently over the western Dakotas, will swing southeastward and be on our doorstep by late morning tomorrow. As the trough passes, it will do little more than bring some mid/high clouds and a wind shift out of the north. Boundary-layer moisture will be quite limited and forecast soundings indicate the presence of a cap, thus the threat of precipition is quite limited. Cool, dry air will filter in behind the front. Dewpoints Wednesday will likely only rise to the low 50s. We'll maintain a mild and dry pattern through the rest of the work week. We will enter a more active pattern by the weekend as several mid/upper- level waves ride of the ridge to the west and dive into the central Plains. However, moisture appears to remain limited through this time-period. Therefore, precipitation chances remain low at best through the next seven days. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 617 PM CDT Mon Sep 6 2021 Expect VFR conditions at all terminals through the next 24 hours.
