AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
302 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2008

.DISCUSSION...

19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW NO SHORTAGE
OF BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

1.) CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WRAPS FROM SEDALIA NW ACROSS THE
WESTERN KC METRO
2.) ELEVATED ACCAS BAND EXTENDING FROM TOPEKA-KMCI-CHILLICOTHE
3.) EFFECTIVE SURFACE FRONT FROM XTRM SE NEBRASKA TO DES MOINES
4.) SECONDARY COLD FRONT/MOISTURE AXIS EXTENDING FROM MCV
CIRCULATION OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA.

MODEL DATA CAN REALLY BE THROWN OUT AT THIS POINT GIVEN THE VARIETY
OF AIRMASSES AND MESOSCALE FEATURES PRESENT OVER THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE STABILIZED ENVIRONMENT OVER MUCH OF THE CWA AT
THIS HOUR AND NEAR 23C PRESENT AT 850MB...EXPECT THAT BAND OF
ACCAS/ELEVATED SHOWERS MOVING INTO THE NW CWA SHOULD REMAIN
ELEVATED WITH SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDER. STILL...WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-BASED STORMS GIVEN ACTIVITY NEAR
PRATT KS.

ATTENTION TURNS TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER
CUMULUS WAS JUST NOW BEGINNING TO POP ALONG THE EFFECTIVE FRONT OVER
IOWA. FURTHER NORTH/WEST...DEEP CONVECTION WAS ALREADY ONGOING IN
THE VICINITY OF AN MCV OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA...AND EXPANDING
EASTWARD ALONG A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED W-E FRONTAL ZONE/MOISTURE POOL
THAT WAS LOCATED WELL BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONT.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP RAPIDLY ACROSS
SE NEB/XTRM NW MO/SRN IA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...AND BEGIN A
SOUTHWARD PUSH AS UPSTREAM DRY AIR AND CONVECTIVE COLD POOLS BECOME
ESTABLISHED. AIRMASS OVER THE NW AND FAR SW CWA WAS ALREADY
MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S AND DWPTS NEAR
70...AND EXPECT A SIMILAR RECOVERY ALONG THE WRN FRINGES OF THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BY 00Z. SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR MULTI-CELL
STORMS...POSSIBLY A SUPERCELL OR TWO...WITH LARGE HAIL THE INITIAL
THREAT. GIVEN LOW WET-BULB ZERO HEIGHTS AND VERY STEEP LAPSE
RATES...SOME HAIL COULD BE DAMAGING. AN INCREASING WIND THREAT WOULD
THEN OCCUR THIS EVENING AS THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO ORGANIZE AND COLD
POOLS BECOME ESTABLISHED. GIVEN THE BACKED ERLY FLOW ALONG THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IF
ANY ORGANIZED CELL CAN INTERCEPT THIS BOUNDARY.

HEAVY RAINFALL PROBABLY REMAINS THE BIGGEST QUESTION OVERNIGHT. A
FAIRLY LARGE AREA SAW 1-2 OF RAIN THIS MORNING...WHICH CERTAINLY
DOESNT HELP ANY. IF ACTIVITY CONGEALS AND ACCELERATES SOUTHWARD
OVERNIGHT...THEN THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS ARE
DIMINISHED. SO WHILE THERES A COLLECTIVE HOPE THAT THIS
OCCURS...PRECIPITABLE WATERS > 1.6 AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WARRANT ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA.

MOST OF THE INITIAL ACTIVITY SHOULD PUSH SOUTH OF THE REGION BY
12Z...BUT A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE WILL LIKELY REGENERATE PRECIPITATION
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE
SRN CWA COULD AGGRAVATE ANY ONGOING FLOODING ISSUES...SO WILL LIKELY
RUN AN FFA THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY GIVEN SREF MEANS.

THE 4TH LOOKS GREAT WITH PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE AREA AND BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

BOOKBINDER

MEDIUM RANGE (SAT-WED)...

MEAN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD BY THE
BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND AS UPPER SHORT WAVE TROUGH SLIDES INTO THE
OHIO VALLEY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A DRIER...WARMER TREND FOR THE
WEEKEND TIMEFRAME AS DEEPER LLVL MOISTURE IS DISPLACED FURTHER SOUTH
AND H85 TEMPS CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MID 20S C BY THE LATTER
PARTS OF THE WEEKEND. HAVE THEREFORE KEPT MAX TEMPS IN THE LOWER 90S
BY SUNDAY WITH A DRY FORECAST THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEKEND AS
H85 THERMAL AXIS NOSES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OUT OF THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES AND INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST BY THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK
BRINING ANOTHER FRONT INTO THE REGION FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. OPERATIONAL GFS THE MORE AGGRESSIVE BRINING QPF INTO THE
CWA DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHC TO CHC
POPS FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL BETTER CONSISTENCY IS REACHED.
HOWEVER...GIVEN RECENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS...WILL LIKELY HAVE TO RAISE
POPS IN FUTURE FORECASTS.

OTHERWISE...WARMER TEMPS WILL LIKELY PREVAIL BY MIDWEEK AS SHORT
WAVE TROUGH SLIDES EAST AND WESTERN US UPPER RIDGE ONCE AGAIN BUILDS
INTO THE PLAINS.

DEROCHE

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHICH FORCED WINDS INTO THE E/SE
SHOULD DISSIPATE SHORTLY ALLOWING PREDOMINANT S/SW LOW LEVEL WINDS
TO RESUME. NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE KC TERMINALS
BETWEEN 19 AND 21Z...BUT EFFECTS MINIMAL WITH VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING.

TRUE COLD FRONT AND MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL AFFECT THE
TERMINALS THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY RAINFALL. LOCALLY MVFR OR EVEN IFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIEST CELLS. WINDS WILL SHIFT INTO
THE NORTH WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY THIS EVENING.

100 PM CDT WED JUL 2 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.

 SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ALONG AND EAST OF A
 GALLATIN TO MARSHALL TO BOONVILLE LINE WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE
 LIMITS AS THEY MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

 ELSEWHERE...AT LEAST PARTIAL SUNSHINE WILL HELP DESTABILIZE THE
 AIRMASS IN THE WAKE OF MORNING RAINFALL...AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
 THAT WILL PUSH INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST KANSAS THIS
 AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME QUITE NUMEROUS ALONG THIS
 FRONT AS IT MOVES SOUTH OVER THE COURSE OF THE LATE AFTERNOON
 AND EVENING HOURS. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL DEPEND ON
 HOW QUICKLY TEMPERATURES RECOVER...BUT THERE REMAINS A
 SLIGHT RISK OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HEAVY RAINFALL
 ASSOCIATED WITH ANY STORMS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING...
 AS WELL AS RENEWED RIVER FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

 ON THURSDAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN SOUTHERN
 MISSOURI...THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN AREAS
 TO THE SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
 SEVERE WEATHER FROM THESE STORMS WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND
 LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREATS.  HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
 BE A CONCERN.

 FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY...THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE
 SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH. STILL THUNDERSTORMS CAN NOT BE TOTALLY RULED
 OUT...MAINLY IN AREAS SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON IN NORTHEAST KANSAS
 AND NORTHERN MISSOURI..AND TONIGHT IN AREAS FROM EAST CENTRAL
 KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. REPORTS OF FLOODING ARE ALSO
 REQUESTED.
