AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 225 PM CDT MON SEP 28 1998 CHALLENGING FORECAST AGAIN TODAY AS MULTITUDE OF SUBTLE FEATURES AFFECTING WEATHER. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SEVERAL WEAK WAVES BEING GENERATED IN UPPER JET FIELD. PROFILER DATA SHOWS BETTER LOW LEVEL JET SET UP NORTH OF AREA FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. WEAK SURFACE FRONT IN DAKOTAS AND WESTERN NEBRASKA IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND IOWA TONIGHT. ETA AND NGM BRINGS THIS NORTHERN SURFACE FRONT INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI OVERNIGHT. CONVERGENCE ALONG IT REMAINS WEAK...SO WILL NEED TO LOOK ALOFT FOR CLUES AS TO WHERE CONVECTION MIGHT INITIATE TONIGHT. MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH LOW 70S DEWPOINTS STREAMING INTO EASTERN KANSAS AT THIS TIME. PLENTY OF MOISTURE ALSO SHOWING UP AT 850 MB. WAVE AT 850 MB TO BE BRUSHING NORTHERN MISSOURI OVERNIGHT SO THINK NORTHERN PART OF FORECAST AREA WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. FOR TUESDAY...BETTER DYNAMICS DEVELOPING AS A STRONGER SHORT WAVE EJECTS OUT OF WESTERN U.S. AND JET STREAK DEVELOPS OVER NORTHERN PLAINS. SURFACE BOUNDARY AND 850 BOUNDARIES SET UP ACROSS FORECAST AREA TO PROVIDE A BETTER FOCUS AND STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE.
