AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
324 PM CDT TUE AUG 7 2007

.DISCUSSION...

LARGE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN US THIS AFTERNOON. HEAT WAVE CONTINUES ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND MIDWEST WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS IN THE LOWER 100S WITH A
FEW LOCATIONS APPROACHING 110F. WILL THEREFORE CONTINUE WITH THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WITH THE ONLY RELIEF IN SIGHT CONTINGENT ON
CONVECTION AND A WEAK FRONT BY THE LATTER PARTS OF THE WEEK.

DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY EVIDENT FROM NORTHEAST KANSAS...ACROSS
NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND INTO SOUTHERN IOWA. AGGRAVATED CU DEVELOPING
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS BOUNDARY BEING AIDING BY ENHANCED ASCENT
ASSOCIATED WITH REMNANT MCV ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA. HAVE ALREADY
SEEN A FEW SHOWERS POP ACROSS NORTHWEST MISSOURI/SOUTHWESTERN
IOWA/SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA WITHIN WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT. GIVEN SFC
TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S COUPLED WITH TDS IN THE LOWER TO MID
70S...MLCAPES OF 4000+ J/KG SEEMS ACHIEVABLE ACROSS THE AREA. IN
ADDITIONAL...30-35KTS OF 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VIA REGIONAL PROFILERS AND
LATEST RUC ANALYSIS WOULD SUPPORT ORGANIZED MULTICELL CLUSTERS WITH
PERHAPS AN ISOLATED SUPERCELL AS WELL. WITH FAIRLY STEEP LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ALONG WITH PWS AOA 1.5 IN...APPEARS VIGOROUS INITIAL
UPDRAFTS WOULD SUPPORT DECENT WATER LOADING AND A STRONG WIND
POTENTIAL WITH ANY PRECIP CORE ENHANCED DOWNDRAFTS. IN
ADDITION...MAY SEE AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL AS STORMS WILL
TEND TO BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. OTHERWISE...HAIL POTENTIAL
SEEMS LOW AS 16KFT+ FREEZING LEVEL WOULD TEND TO LIMIT LARGE HAIL
PRODUCTION TO THE MOST VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS. WILL LIKELY SEE AN MCS
ORGANIZE LATER TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF NEBRASKA AND IOWA CLOSER TO
THE VICINITY OF MCV AND HAVE THEREFORE KEPT HIGHEST POPS CLOSER TO
IOWA BORDER.

ANOTHER ROUND OF HOT TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AGAIN TOMORROW AS H85
TEMPS OF 22-26C WILL AGAIN BE EVIDENT. THEREFORE...EXPECTING TEMPS TO
ONCE AGAIN REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S AND PERHAPS FLIRT WITH THE
CENTURY MARK. EXPECTING CONVECTION TO ONCE AGAIN BE FOCUSED AROUND
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF UPPER RIDGE AS EMBEDDED VORT MAXES RIDE ACROSS
NEBRASKA AND IOWA. THEREFORE...HAVE ONCE AGAIN KEPT POPS
CONCENTRATED ACROSS THE NORTHER HALF OF THE CWA.

MODELS APPEAR TO BE ON BOARD IN BRINGING A WEAK WIND SHIFT ACROSS
THE AREA THURSDAY AND HOPEFULLY TAKING A SLIGHT EDGE OFF THE
FURNACE. HOWEVER...HEAT INDEX EFFECTS WILL DEPEND ON AREAS THAT
EXPERIENCE SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR INTRUSION ALBEIT MINIMAL AS H85 TEMPS
CONTINUE TO BAKE THE AREA.

DEROCHE

LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...

SYNOPTIC SCALE TRENDS OVER THE MEDIUM RANGE FEATURE THE SPRAWLING
RIDGE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH RETROGRADING AND CONSOLIDATING OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WITH 500MB HEIGHTS POTENTIALLY NEARING 600DM.

AS THIS EVOLUTION OCCURS...THERE MAY BE A WINDOW LATE THURSDAY/EARLY
FRIDAY FOR A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT FRONT TO TEMPORARILY SETTLE
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CWA BEFORE HEIGHTS REBUILD OVER THE AREA. FOR
NOW KEPT THINGS A TOUCH COOLER IN THIS REGION...BUT ANY CONVECTION
THURSDAY COULD RESULT IN A MODIFIED COLD POOL OVER THE EASTERN CWA
FURTHER LIMITING THE WARMING ON FRIDAY.

FROM SATURDAY ONWARD...LIGHT E/SE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL ENSURE THAT
HAZE BECOMES A MAINSTAY ALONG WITH THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY.
HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD APPROACH 110 DEGREES SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS
850MB TEMPS OF 25C PUSH SURFACE HIGHS TOWARD THE 100 DEGREE MARK.

.AVIATION...

MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE WITH CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS EVENING
AND TONIGHT. HAVE KEPT MENTION OUT OF THE TAFS ATTM AS CONFIDENCE IS
LOW AS TO THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF PRECIP. FEEL THE BEST POTENTIAL WILL
BE AT THE KSJT TERMINAL CLOSER TO THE SFC BOUNDARY.
OTHERWISE...SHOULD SEE AREAS OF HZ BY MORNING AS STAGNANT AIR MASS
REMAINS ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE AREA.
