AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT RANGE (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PAINTS A NOT SO PRETTY PICTURE ACROSS THE CONUS
TODAY. AN UNSEASONABLY LARGE LOW IS MOVING OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION INTO THE WEST CENTRAL PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE LOW
REFLECTION IS LOCATED IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. A COLD FRONT/
DRY-LINE EXTENDS SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY
SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE PREVAILING ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF KANSAS AND
ALL OF MISSOURI. ALSO OF NOTE ALOFT ARE SEVERAL SMALL SHORTWAVE THAT
ARE MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE SURFACE TROUGH...AND ARE EJECTING
NEARLY DUE NORTH THROUGH THE KANSAS AND NEBRASKA PLAINS. THESE WAVES
HAVE BEEN HELPING INITIATE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG AND BEHIND
THE FRONT FROM CENTRAL KANSAS AND NEBRASKA BACK TO THE WEST STARTING
THIS MORNING.

CURRENT ANALYSIS OF MODELS AND OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT ANOTHER
SMALL SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE EXITING LOW
ACROSS KANSAS AND NEBRASKA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS OCCURS WINDS
WILL BACK JUST A LITTLE ALOFT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFY HELPING
INCREASE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONTAL LINE. THIS SHOULD HELP EVOLVE
THE INDIVIDUAL SMALL LINES OF STORMS OR SUPER-CELLS INTO A LARGE
LINEAR SQUALL LINE. THIS LINE COULD REACH THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF OF
THE FORECAST AREA AS EARLY AS 9 OR 10 PM THIS EVENING. MAIN THREAT
WITH THIS SQUALL LINE WILL BE FROM LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS. OTHERWISE...COOLING ALOFT FROM THE SCATTERED CONVECTION
ACROSS EAST KANSAS...AND/OR COOL AIR SWEEPING IN ALOFT AS THE MAIN
TROUGH GOES NEGATIVELY TILLED...COULD ERODE THE CAP ACROSS THE
KANSAS/MISSOURI BORDER REGION BETWEEN AND 6PM AND 8PM. THIS WOULD
ALLOW FOR DISCREET CELLS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LINE OF STORMS
WHICH WOULD LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR NOT ONLY LARGE HAIL...BUT ALSO
ISOLATED TORNADOES. HOWEVER...THIS THREAT FOR ISOLATED STORMS IS NOT
LOOKING GREAT AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE STABILIZING EFFECTS OF THE
CLOUD COVER THAT HAS DOMINATED THE KANSAS/MISSOURI BORDER REGION
TODAY.

ALONG WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TONIGHT WILL COME SOME
POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FOR TONIGHT ARE
RUNNING AROUND 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES...AND GIVEN HOW LOW RIVER HEAD
WATER AND FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS I HAVE GONE WITH A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT FROM 7 PM TO 7 AM
FRIDAY MORNING.

AS FOR THE WIND ADVISORY...GOING TO KEEP IT GOING FOR NOW THROUGH
ITS CURRENT EXPIRATION TIME OF 10 PM. HAVE NOT SEEN WINDS QUITE AS
HIGH AS ADVISORY CRITERIA YET TODAY...BUT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DOES
TIGHTEN AS THE FRONT AND SQUALL LINE MOVES EAST INTO WESTERN
MISSOURI.

FOR FRIDAY...WILL LIKELY STILL HAVE ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS THE
EAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER SUNRISE FRIDAY AS THE LEFT OVER
BLOW OFF CONVECTION FORM THE OVERNIGHT SQUALL LINE WILL STILL BE
SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION. SOME CONSIDERATION WILL NEED TO BE GIVEN
TO THE POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A
SECOND SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH BEHIND THE EXITING FOUR CORNERS
TROUGH. HAVE KEPT SOME SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ALONG THE
SOUTHEAST EDGE OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AS A RESULT.
THAT MIGHT NEED TO COME FARTHER NORTH IF LATER MODEL RUNS KEEP THE
SIGNAL INTACT.

FOR SATURDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY REBOUND SATURDAY AS STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS MOVE BACK INTO KANSAS AND MISSOURI. FOR THE
AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT HOURS ANOTHER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL PUSH THE WESTERLIES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THESE STRONG WESTERLIES COULD SPARK WARM
AIR ADVECTION CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

CUTTER

LONG RANGE (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

OBVIOUSLY WITH THE IMPENDING WEATHER THIS EVENING THE EXTENDED
FORECAST HAS TAKEN A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK SEAT.  THERE HAS BEEN A
LOT OF QUICK COORDINATION BETWEEN OFFICES TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL
WITHIN TOLERANCE FOR OUR GRIDS.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE WEATHER SITUATION FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK
SHOWS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE AWFULLY WARM THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD DUE TO A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF
THE CONUS.  THIS WILL HELP PUSH ANY STORMS WE MAY HAVE ON SUNDAY
GRADUALLY NORTHWARD...SO BUMPED UP POPS FOR THE NORTHERN ONE THIRD
OF THE CWA ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR PRECIPITATION THAT
MAY FORM ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVING IN FROM THE NORTH.

AS FAR AS THE MENTION OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEK...THERE IS
NOTHING IN THE MODELS THAT SHOW ANY HINTS FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE
WEATHER.

DECIDED TO FOLLOW HPC GUIDANCE FOR MUCH OF THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FORECASTED TONIGHT...A LINE
OF STORMS WITH SOME LEADING SUPERCELLS AHEAD OF THE LINE WILL AFFECT
THE AREA AFTER 00Z. THE STORMS OUT AHEAD OF THE LINE MAY NOT
AFFECT THE TERMINALS...BUT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. THE LINE
SHOULD ARRIVE AROUND 04Z AND MAY BE A BOWING LINE WITH DAMAGING
WINDS AND POSSIBLY EMBEDDED TORNADOES ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
LINE. VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS EXPECTED TO BE IFR OR LIFR IN
STORMS. BY LATE TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AND
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES VFR. ADOLPHSON

102 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2008

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 LARGE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO LIFT OUT OF THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION. A LARGE LAYER OF WARM AIR ALOFT WILL PERSIST ACROSS
THE OUTLOOK AREA THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS WHICH WILL SUPPRESS
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL BY
EARLY EVENING THAT THIS WARM LAYER MAY ERODE JUST ENOUGH TO ALLOW
ISOLATED SUPER CELL THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND IN AREAS ALONG THE MISSOURI KANSAS BORDER.
DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF INSTABILITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE...THESE
STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

A MUCH HIGHER PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ARRIVE
DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP RAPIDLY ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND NEBRASKA
THIS AFTERNOON WITH A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING INTO THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA DURING LIKELY AFTER 9 PM. THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR DAMAGING HIGH WINDS...LARGE HAIL. ISOLATED
TORNADOES MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS INDIVIDUAL SUPER
CELLS MAY ACCOMPANY THE LINE OF STORMS THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH.

MANY RIVERS ARE ALSO RUNNING AT ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AT THIS
TIME...ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WILL LIKELY
LEAD TO ADDITIONAL RIVER FLOODING AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH
FLOODING.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
OUTLOOK AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO IF THIS
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN SEVERE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
FRIDAY.

OTHERWISE...A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND
WESTERN MISSOURI THROUGH 10 PM THIS EVENING. SUSTAINED SOUTH WINDS
WILL RUN BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS...WITH
GUSTS TO 45 MPH POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
SUBSIDE THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM KANSAS
CITY TO KIRKSVILLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
MAY BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE CWA.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE ON SATURDAY AND PERSIST
INTO SUNDAY ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF
THIS ACTIVITY COULD BE SEVERE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
BUTLER TO KIRKSVILLE THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
