AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1015 AM CDT MON SEP 19 2005

.DISCUSSION...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS TRYING TO DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE
FRONT AS NOSE OF UPPER JET MOVES OUT OF SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO
WESTERN IOWA. VERY WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS FRONT IS
KEEPING THIS INITIAL DEVELOPMENT FROM BECOMING TOO WIDESPREAD...BUT
STILL THINK ACTIVITY WILL BE INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON AS FRONT
MOVES INTO LESS CAPPED ENVIRONMENT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI
BACK TO AROUND KANSAS CITY AREA.  WILL PULL POPS FURTHER NORTH FOR
THIS MORNING TO COVER CURRENT ACTIVITY.

PC

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
410 AM CDT MON...
CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IN THE WAKE OF CONVECTION
OVERNIGHT.  ALTHOUGH THE MODELS ARE FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE
STRENGTH AND PLACEMENT OF MAJOR FEATURES...THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
CURRENTLY TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA IS MORE
ACCURATELY REPRESENTED BY THE GFS.

WENT NEAR GUIDANCE TEMPS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TODAY.  WITH LITTLE
CLOUD COVER TO INHIBIT HEATING...DECIDED TO BUMP UP TEMPS.  AT THE
UPPER LEVELS...A FLAT RIDGE IS IN PLACE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S.
THROUGH THE NEAR TERM.  SHORTWAVES PUSHING ACROSS THE RIDGE WARRANT
SMALL POPS...ALTHOUGH MOISTURE RETURN DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL
WEDNESDAY.  BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP TODAY WILL BE IN THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE DAYTIME HEATING WILL BE THE
GREATEST AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL EXPERIENCE THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF
DESTABILIZATION DUE TO THE BOUNDARY. AN AXIS OF MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY SETS UP ALONG THE KS-MO BORDER ON WEDNESDAY SO INCREASED
POPS SLIGHTLY. WITH MARGINAL MOISTURE...DECIDED AGAINST ALSO
INCREASING QPF.

TM

410 PM CDT SUN...
SHORT TERM FOCUS ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT AND MONDAY. WARM
FRONT THAT HAS BEEN SLOW TO LIFT THROUGH FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON...FINALLY ON THE MOVE AND SHOULD BE ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST FROM NORTHEAST KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI EARLY THIS
EVENING. UPPER LEVEL FEATURES A BIT COMPLICATED WITH TWO SHORT WAVES
IN FLOW...ONE CURRENTLY MOVING INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA HELPING TO KICK
OFF CONVECTION THERE...AND SECOND WAVE JUST TO ITS WEST MOVING INTO
NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS INITIAL WAVE QUICKLY MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST
THIS EVENING...AND A SURFACE WAVE THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN CENTRAL
KANSAS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO IOWA AS THIS UPPER WAVE MOVES OFF.
THIS SHOULD HELP TO PULL THE WARM FRONT FURTHER TO THE NORTH AS THE
EVENING PROGRESSES AND SHOULD HELP FOCUS ANY THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT MORE INTO NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI LATER TONIGHT.  COLD
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SURFACE LOW WILL LIKELY WAIT FOR THE
SECONDARY UPPER WAVE TO FINALLY PUSH INTO THE AREA MONDAY MORNING.
THINK THIS INITIAL SYSTEM WILL LEAVE ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE IN ITS WAKE
TO QUELL ANY STORM REDEVELOPMENT IN NORTHWEST MISSOURI BUT AS THIS
FRONT MOVES FURTHER SOUTH DURING THE MORNING...REDEVELOPMENT WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...SO WILL LEAVE CHANCE POPS RUNNING
FROM AROUND KANSAS CITY...THROUGH KIRKSVILLE...SOUTHWARD.

ONCE FRONT MOVES SOUTH OF AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON...SHOULD SEE SOME
DRY WEATHER RETURN FOR TUESDAY...BUT LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...ALREADY
WILL BE SEEING A RETURN FLOW WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT INTO EASTERN
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI...SO WILL PUT SOME LOW POPS INTO THOSE
AREAS.

PC

EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST CONTINUES TO REMAIN A CHALLENGE. DECIDED TO
UP POPS TO THE CHANCE CATEGORY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT NOTED ON THE 310K SURFACE FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS.
NAM VERY DRY IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS THOUGH...WITH A SIGNIFICANT
DISPARITY NOTED BETWEEN THE NAM (-3 TO -6C) AND THE GFS (12 TO 15C)
AT 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE WILL SEE SOME DRYING WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING IN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...AND FEEL A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE TWO WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. THAT WOULD INDICATE
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE FOR THIS LIFT TO TAP FOR SCATTERED STORMS.

ACTIVE PATTERN TO PERSIST INTO THE END OF THE WEEK ACROSS THE
CONUS...AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SLOWLY ERODES WITH INCREASING WESTERLY
FLOW IN THE MID-LATITUDES. GFS HINTS AT DIRTY FLOW AROUND THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE WEAKENING RIDGE...AND WHILE SLIM CHANCES
FOR RAIN MAY BE POSSIBLE...OUR BEST CHANCES ARE TIED TO MUCH
STRONGER SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT FRONT FRIDAY EVENING...AND
RESULTANT RETURN FLOW SATURDAY IN ITS WAKE. ALSO INTRODUCED A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. COMBINATION OF
FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND THE GFS POSITION OF THE REMNANTS OF WHAT IS
CURRENTLY TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHTEEN COULD COMBINE FOR A DECENT
RAIN CHANCE. HOWEVER...DO NOT WISH TO COUNT ON SUCH A SCENARIO OUT
SEVEN DAYS
