AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1137 PM CST SAT MAR 1 2008

...UPDATED AVIATION FORECAST...

.DISCUSSION...
/416 PM CST SAT MAR 1 2008/
MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS AFTERNOONS FORECAST EFFORTS IS ON THE WILD
WEATHER THAT WILL PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING EAST INTO THE
PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. UNDER IT A DEEPENING SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS
WESTERN NEBRASKA AND KANSAS HAS RESULTED IN RAPID PRESSURE FALLS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND SOUTHERN IOWA SOUTH TO OKLAHOMA. THIS
IN TURN HAS TIGHTENED THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE KANSAS AND
MISSOURI BORDER. COUPLED WITH A STRONG 50+ KNOT 850MB JET...AND
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE FOR BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING...WE HAVE BEEN SEEING
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ACROSS THE GREATER KANSAS CITY METROPOLITAN
AREA. THE SURFACE WIND SHOULD BEGIN TO SUBSIDE A LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AS SURFACE HEATING FADES AWAY AND THE 850MB WIND DECREASES A LITTLE.
AT THIS TIME I ANTICIPATE LETTING THE ADVISORY EXPIRE AT 4 PM.

THE DEEPENING SURFACE TROUGH TO OUR WEST TODAY WILL BECOME A
PROGRESSIVE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS STATES SUNDAY WITH
A SHORTWAVE...CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...
PUSHING IT ALONG. LOOKING TO OUR SOUTH...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS MOISTURE BEGINNING TO SURGE BACK TO THE NORTH AS THE CUMULUS
FIELD SOUTH OF OKLAHOMA HAS BEGUN TO MOVE NORTH. EVEN WITH THE
STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND IT SHOULD TAKE TILL EARLY SUNDAY MORNING FOR
WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER TO FILL IN ACROSS THE REGION.

LATELY MODELS HAVE BEEN A BIT INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROJECTED SPEED
OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS. HOWEVER...WITH
THE SHORTWAVE PUSHING THE FRONT NOW HAVING MADE LANDFALL...THE
GFS/NAM-WRF/SREF HAVE ALL CONVERGED TOWARDS A SLIGHTLY SLOWER
SOLUTION. THOUGHTS ARE STILL THAT THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION
WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THOUGH WE
SHOULD SEE SOME SHOWERS AND OR THUNDERSTORMS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SEVER THUNDERSTORMS STILL DO NOT APPEAR TO BE A
PROBLEM. OTHERWISE...FOR THE DAYLIGHT HOURS SUNDAY I HAVE BUMPED
SUNDAYS HIGH TEMPERATURES UP TO AROUND 70 DEGREES FOR AREAS SOUTH OF
THE MISSOURI RIVER. WINDS COULD BE A BIT STRONG AND GUSTY AGAIN AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND SURFACE LOW FORMS ALONG THE FRONT
TOMORROW. CLOUD COVER SHOULD INHIBIT THE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING
THOUGH...SO NO WIND ADVISORY IS ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME FOR
SUNDAY.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY...IT WILL BE A RACE BETWEEN THE
EXITING PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND THE ADVECTING COLD
AIR MASS TO DETERMINE THE PRECIPITATION TYPE. WITH A SLOWER FRONT
AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL MISSOURI...WILL BE PRONE TO MIDNIGHT
HIGHS. OTHERWISE...OVERNIGHT SHIFT HAS ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR MUCH OF
THIS SLOW DOWN IN THE FRONT...THEREFORE ONLY ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS
WHERE TO INCREASE THEM SOME. DID ADJUST THE PRECIPITATION TYPE TO
INCLUDE A TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW USING A MIX OF RAIN/SLEET/AND
SNOW.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING RAINFALL TOTALS COULD BE ON THE HIGH
SIDE AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL TOP OUT OVER ONE INCH ALONG
AND BEHIND THE FRONT. DYNAMICS LOOKS GOOD WITH A COUPLED JET
STRUCTURE ALOFT...BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW WIDESPREAD IT BE AND WILL
THE CHANGE OVER TO SLEET/SNOW MITIGATE THAT RUNOFF. CURRENT THOUGHTS
ARE THAT THE CHANGE OVER WILL NOT MITIGATE RUNOFF THAT MUCH...AND
THAT THE STORMS MIGHT PROGRESS FAST ENOUGH TO TO LEAVE VALUES JUST
BELOW HEADWATER GUIDANCE VALUES. HOWEVER...THIS WILL NEED CAREFUL
EVALUATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

HAVE LEFT CHANCE SNOW POPS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST EDGE OF THE FORECAST
AREA FOR MONDAY.

CUTTER

NEXT SHORTWAVE IN THE SERIES WILL DROP IN BEHIND THE EXITING SYSTEM
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THINK BEST ENERGY/LIFT WILL STAY JUST
NORTH OF THE REGION. SO WITH WEAK LIFT AND LITTLE AVAILABLE
MOISTURE...EXPECT WEDNESDAY TO BE PREDOMINANTLY DRY. HOWEVER THE
COLD FRONT WILL HAVE SOME AFFECT...DROPPING TEMPERATURES FOR
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. HAVE THEREFORE LOWERED EXPECTED HIGHS FOR
THAT TIME-FRAME.

PATTERN REMAINS SOMEWHAT MESSY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH
GENERAL UPPER LEVEL TROUGHINESS AND EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TRANSLATING
THROUGH THE FLOW. DIFFICULT TO TIME THESE SHORTWAVES. HOWEVER
MOISTURE WILL STRUGGLE TO RETURN...SO REGARDLESS...WILL MAINTAIN
POPS LESS THAN 15 PERCENT THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
WILL ALSO HOLD TEMPS TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL LEVELS THROUGH
SATURDAY.

NRR

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAF...WILL CONTINUE THE STRONG LLWS...PER WHAT IS
SHOWING ON THE PROFILERS AND THE VAD WINDS OFF OF THE 88D.
DEWPOINTS ARE STARTING TO CLIMB...AND EXPECT SOME STRATUS TO FORM
AFTER DAYBREAK ACROSS THE TAF SITES AS THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO ADVECT INTO THE REGION. MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW DOWN
ARRIVAL OF THE SURFACE FRONT...SO WILL DELAY IT ARRIVING UNTIL THE
00Z TO 01Z TIMEFRAME.  BETTER LAPSE RATES AND INSTABILITY SHOULD BE
SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON...SO WILL KEEP THUNDER
OUT OF THE TAFS...BUT WILL RETAIN THE MENTION OF A CB WITH THE
FRONT. MOST OF THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE POST FRONTAL
SUNDAY EVENING. ANY CHANGE OVER TO SNOW SHOULD BE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
COLD AIR DEEPENS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A STRONG SOUTHWEST WIND WILL PREVAIL ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KANSAS AND
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI FROM ATCHISON SOUTH THROUGH OLATHE AND LEES
SUMMIT THROUGH 4 PM. THIS WILL INCLUDE THE AREAS AROUND LEAVENWORTH
AND KANSAS CITY THROUGH EXCELSIOR SPRINGS AND BLUE SPRINGS. SUSTAINED

AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS...AND BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE EVENING HOURS. IN
ADDITION...A COLD RAIN WILL FORM BEHIND THE FRONT.

CONDITIONS...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS COULD BECOME
SWOLLEN AND FLOOD IF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN DOES FALL.

TIME AREAS NORTH OF A KANSAS CITY TO KIRKSVILLE LINE HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE TO SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ALTHOUGH THE ENTIRE REGION COULD
SEE SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION OVERNIGHT SUNDAY. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
ARE ENCOURAGED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE LATEST FORECAST FOR INFORMATION
ON ANY SHIFT IN STORM TRACK AND INTENSITY WHICH COULD PUSH
PRECIPITATION AREAS FARTHER NORTH OR SOUTH.
