Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 2:50 AM CDT, 14 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 250 AM CDT THU JUN 30 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION BECAME MORE WIDESPREAD AND INTENSE ACROSS NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER LEVEL SPEED MAXIMUM AND LOW LEVEL JET COMBINED TO OVERCOME THE FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL 900-700 MB CAP THAT WAS IN PLACE. EARLY MORNING SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THE COLD FRONT IS NOW STRETCHED FROM CENTRAL IOWA SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE NORTHWEST TIP OF MISSOURI...AND BACK ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY...REACHING A KIRKSVILLE TO KANSAS CITY LINE BY THE NOON HOUR. EXPECT WE WILL HAVE A CONVECTIVE LULL AFTER MID MORNING...BUT WILL HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE CWA (ALONG/SOUTH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED NOON-TIME FRONTAL POSITION). MAY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME OVERCOMING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FROM THE MORNING ACTIVITY AND CAPPING INVERSION...ALTHOUGH BOTH NAM AND GFS MODELS PROG DECENT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WILL ALSO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE FROM DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS. WITH FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 15K FEET...LARGE HAIL REMAINS A MUCH LESSER THREAT. CONVECTION SHOULD SHIFT SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING...AND HAVE CHANCE POPS ENDING BY MIDNIGHT. HAVE GONE ON THE LOWER END OF GUIDANCE AGAIN FOR HIGH TEMPS TODAY...ESPECIALLY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE RESIDUAL CLOUD COVER. IT WILL STILL BE AN UNSEASONABLY WARM DAY SOUTH OF THE FRONT...WHERE ANTICIPATE TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETREAT BACK TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL READINGS ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH ZONAL FLOW WILL QUICKLY BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE WEEKEND...ENDING THE BRIEF HIATUS FROM 90 DEGREE READINGS. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE STILL FORECASTING A STRONGER SHORTWAVE TO TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA LATE IN THE WEEKEND...AND PUSH A SURFACE FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS PROGS A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO REACH NORTHERN MISSOURI EARLY ON INDEPENDENCE DAY MORNING. HOWEVER...DUE TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE REGARDING THIS FEATURE AND THE SOUTHWARD PENETRATION OF THE FRONT...WILL ONLY MAINTAIN 20 POPS AT THIS POINT. SCHMIT & .PREV DISCUSSION... 420 PM CDT WED... CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS HELD TEMPERATURES DOWN ACROSS NORTHERN PART OF CWA THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH MOST LOCATIONS MADE IT INTO LOWER 90S. TEMPERATURES ON TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN SECTIONS WHERE A FEW LOCATIONS REACHED UPPER 90S. MOIST AXIS TRANSLATING EAST...BUT STILL ENOUGH LOW LEVEL HUMIDITY TO KEEP OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ON THE MUGGY SIDE. BOOSTED OVERNIGHT MINIMUMS A COUPLE DEGREES ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER...AS AIRMASS WILL NOT MODIFY THAT MUCH OVERNIGHT. SHORT TERM MODELS CONSISTENT ON DRIVING SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO NORTHWEST PART OF CWA LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE REST OF CWA ON THURSDAY. SUBSTANTIAL CAP AT 850 MB PER 18 UTC OAX SOUNDING IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. BETTER CHANCE OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT LATE TONIGHT AS THERMAL RIDGE AT 700 TRANSLATES EAST AND SOUTH DUE TO APPROACHING NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE. LLJ WILL HELP ENHANCE CONVERGENCE ALONG EDGE OF CAP ACROSS NE/NC KS AND BELIEVE CONVECTION WILL FIRE PER NAM/WS NAM SOLUTION. ADJUSTED TIMING OF CONVECTION TO AFFECT NW MO BY 06-08 UTC...AND THE I-70 CORRIDOR BY 09-10 UTC. FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN METRO...OR ALONG US 50 CORRIDOR ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE OF DIURNAL CONVECTION TOMORROW SINCE 700 TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER. FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF CWA BY 00 UTC BRINGING MUCH ANTICIPATED COOLDOWN FOR END OF WEEK. SF A WELCOME RESPITE FROM THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL COME ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION AGAIN...INITIALLY DRAWING COOLER AND DRIER AIR SOUTH ON NORTHERLY WINDS. THE COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE A BRIEF STAY BEFORE A WARMUP REINITIATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH THE RETURN OF SOUTHERLY WINDS. BY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS BRING A COLD FRONT SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA. QUESTION REMAINS WHETHER OR NOT THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO BRING PRECIPITATION TO THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE STALLING OUT. HAVE KEPT THE GOING SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI/NORTHEAST KANSAS SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. STOFLET && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE KS...NONE
