Area forecast discussion, Sep 11, 1:53 PM CDT, 5 hours 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 153 PM CDT MON SEP 11 2000 MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE ARE WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES TONIGHT...AND TEMPERATURES THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH COLDER AIR MOVING BACK IN. MODELS SEEM TO BE HANDLING TIMING OF UPPER SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN PLAINS AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT RATHER WELL. SURFACE WINDS HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...AND HAVE NOT SHOWN MUCH SIGNS OF BACKING. WINDS HAVE BACKED IN EASTERN KANSAS WITH BETTER CONVERGENCE SHOWING UP IN AREAS SOUTH OF MANHATTAN ALONG A PREFRONTAL TROUGH. LIKE AVN AND RUC IDEA OF BREAKING OUT PRECIP IN NORTHEAST KANSAS BEFORE 00Z. OTHERWISE... WILL GO ALONG WITH SPC IDEA OF SQUALL LINE DEVELOPING WITH FRONT. SOME QUESTION ON WHETHER THIS WILL BE GOING BY THE TIME THE FRONT ENTERS NORTHWEST MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON DEVELOPMENT AND SHADE POPS TO FIT THE SITUATION BEFORE SENDING ZONES. AREAS THAT WILL NOT SEE FRONT MOVING IN UNTIL THIS EVENING LOOK TO HAVE A GOOD SHOT OF MEASURABLE PRECIP WITH STRONG FRONTOGENISIS AT LOWER LEVELS. FRONT WILL BE RUNNING INTO PLENTY OF SURFACE MOISTURE AND AREA WILL BE SEEING INCREASING MOISTURE AT MID LEVELS AS UPPER SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH. HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE THAT WILL UPS POPS A BIT FROM CURRENT ZONE PACKAGE IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA. FRONT SHOULD SWEEP OUT OF FORECAST AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING...WITH MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS MOVING IN. LOOKING AT LOWS THIS MORNING BEHIND FRONT...AND WHERE TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY SITTING...THINK THE GUIDANCE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE SLOW ON PICKING UP ON THE COLD AIR TONIGHT...SO WILL TREND SLIGHTLY COOLER. TEMPS SHOULD STRUGGLE ON TUESDAY WITH CAA. GUIDANCE NUMBERS MAY BE A SHADE TOO WARM...BUT WILL NOT DEVIATE TOO MUCH...SINCE SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. FURTHER OUT...MRF STILL BRINGING A FRONT THROUGH ON THURSDAY AND TRIES TO BREAK OUT SOME RAIN. CANADIAN KEEPS IT DRY. DO NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE ON THE MOISTURE BEING AVAILABLE FOR MUCH RAIN WITH THE NEXT FRONT SO WILL HOLD OFF @MENTION OF ANY RAIN AT THIS POINT. .EAX...NONE. PC
