AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
325 PM CST WED JAN 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM CLEARLY EVIDENT PER WV IMAGERY THIS
AFTERNOON OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...AND EVEN APPEARS SLIGHTLY
DEEPER THAN FORECAST MODELS HAVE INITIALIZED IN THEIR 12Z RUNS.
ALTHOUGH MODELS HAVE VERY GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL
PATTERN AND MANY DETAILS THURSDAY...THESE TYPE OF MINOR INTENSITY
DIFFERENCES IN ADDITION TO MESOSCALE RESPONSES DURING PRECIPITATION
GENERATION WILL HAVE LARGE CONSEQUENCES ON EVENTUAL SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS. NAM-WRF FORECASTS HAVE BEEN FAR TOO VARYING TO
ESTABLISH ANY CONFIDENCE...PLUS RECENT RUNS APPEAR TO HAVE SOME
DEGREE OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES WITH ELEVATED INSTABILITY ON
THE WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT WING PRECEDING THE UPPER LOW. BLEND OF THE
12Z GFS/ECMWF STILL LOOKS TO BE THE BEST SOLUTION WITH DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE PROGRESSING FROM CNTRL OKLAHOMA INTO SRN ILLINOIS THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING.

AS THE UPPER WAVE DIGS INTO OKLAHOMA THURSDAY MORNING...DEEP
MERIDIONAL FLOW WILL COMMENCE WITH STRONG WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT
ORIGINATING FROM THE WARM SECTOR AND LIFTING INTO THE COLD SECTOR
WITH DEEPER DRY ELY LOW LEVEL FLOW. INITIAL TOP DOWN SATURATION
DURING THE LATE OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL ACT TO SATURATE THE DRIER
SUBCLOUD LAYERS...HOWEVER THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF ISENTROPIC LIFT
SHOULD QUICKLY OVERCOME THE DRIER LOW LEVELS. MODELS ALSO INDICATE
VERY WELL DEFINED SLOPING FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING TOPPING AROUND H5
ACROSS NRN MISSOURI...AND SLOPING DOWN TO H8 TOWARDS CNTRL MISSOURI.
IN ADDITION...AS THE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES AND CLOSES OFF APPROACHING
THE AREA...A DEFINITIVE TROWAL SIGNATURE DEVELOPS IN AN ARCING BAND
FROM CNTRL MISSOURI THOUGH NRN OKLAHOMA. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND
THE UPPER SYSTEM DEEPENS FURTHER SOUTHEAST...THESE COLLOCATED
FEATURES WILL ALSO ADVECT EWD WITH THE MOST INTENSE PRECIPITATION
RATES GENERALLY POSITIONED ON THE NRN PERIPHERY OF THE TROWAL AXIS
COINCIDENT WITH H7 FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING. AREA CROSS SECTIONS ALSO
INDICATE POCKETS OF LAYERED NEGATIVE EPV AND STATIC INSTABILITY
WHICH COULD LOCALLY ENHANCE SNOW BANDING OVER PARTS OF THE SRN CWA.
BASED ON GFS/ECMWF QPF FIELDS AND BIASES FOR MODELS TO UNDERESTIMATE
QPF AMOUNTS AND PRECIP INTENSITIES IN FAVORABLE BANDING
SITUATIONS...FEEL WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL A VERY GOOD BET FOR
AREAS SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. SEVERAL UNCERTAINTIES
STILL EXIST HOWEVER...NOT WITHSTANDING STORM TRACK AND
INTENSITY...THE AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO SATURATE THE LOW LEVELS
MAY LIMIT ACCUMULATION SOMEWHAT...PLUS ANY DEEPER CONVECTION THAT
OCCURS IN THE WARM SECTOR COULD EVENTUALLY ROB THE COLD CONVEYOR
BELT AND DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE MOST JUICY AIRMASS. HAVE ALSO
EXPANDED SNOW ADVISORY FURTHER NORTH AS FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IN
THE MIDLEVELS APPEARS SUFFICIENT THE PRODUCE A COUPLE INCHES OF
WIDESPREAD SNOW SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN DEVELOPING DEFORMATION BAND
TO THE SOUTH.

STORM SYSTEM SHOULD GRADUALLY CLEAR THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY
MORNING AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN INTO ILLINOIS. CLEARING
SHOULD BE FAIRLY RAPID FROM WEST TO EAST AS DEEP SUBSIDENCE BUILDS
OVER THE AREA TRAILING THE DEFORMATION BAND REDEVELOPING FURTHER
EAST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE H7 LOW. TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY AND
BEYOND WILL LARGELY BE DETERMINED BY SNOWPACK...AND GIVEN EXPECTED
ACCUMULATIONS TOMORROW...HAVE UNDERCUT ALL NUMERICAL GUIDANCE INTO
THE WEEKEND.

21

MEDIUM RANGE (SATURDAY-WEDNESDAY)...

MEDIUM RANGE CONTINUES TO BE AS CLEAR AS MUD THIS MORNING...AS
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES RESOLVING BATTERING RAM OF
DISTURBANCES SPINNING OUT OF VORTEX ANCHORED OVER THE SEA OF
OKHOTSK. IN GENERAL...WILL CONTINUE TO STAND ON THE SIDELINES OF THE
ECMWF FOR DAYS 4-6 AS OF ANY MODEL THIS WINTER HAS PREFORMED RATHER
WELL PAST DAY 4.  PAST DAY 6 USED A BLEND OF THE NAEFS AND 12Z/29
ECMWF WHICH SEEMED TO CARRY THE BEST BALANCE IN THE LONG WAVE TRENDS.

THIS BEING SAID...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A WEAK DISTURBANCE
TRUDGING THROUGH THE TRANSITIONAL FLOW PATTERN ON SATURDAY.  THIS
SYSTEM WILL DROP A DECAYING FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE AREA...WITH
VERY MEAGER LIFT SUPPORTING MID-LVL CLOUDS AND VIRGA AT BEST.
READINGS WILL BE TEMPERED SOMEWHAT ON SAT WITH HIGHS AT OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL.  BY SUNDAY...MAIN FEATURE FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL
BE SLOWING OOZING DOWN THE WEST COAST.  SURGING AHEAD OF THIS LARGE
LONGWAVE TROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE A WEAK UPR-DISTURBANCE.
THIS DISTURBANCE SHOULD HELP KICK LOW-LVL WINDS BACK TO THE
SW...SENDING A SURGE OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD AND KICKING UP A CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS BEGINNING LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE
CONCERNED...ALTHOUGH GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED LOWER EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON
SUNDAY...STILL BELIEVE WARM SURGE OF AIR WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND ATTM WILL KEEP READINGS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPR 40S OVER
MUCH OF THE CWA.

AS STATED EARLIER...MANY DIFFERENCES REMAIN IN REGARDS TO UPR TROUGH
EVOLUTION FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER SYNOPTIC SETUP
WOULD INDICATE A WET BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.  ALTHOUGH RATHER
PESSIMISTIC WITH FORECAST FOR INDIVIDUAL PERIODS DURING NEXT
WEEK...PER THE NAEFS IF I HAD TO PICK A TIME FOR PRECIP...BEST
CHANCES WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY AND THEN AGAIN
MONDAY NIGHT THOUGH TUESDAY AS MAIN UPR WAVE EJECTS EASTWARD.
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL LIKELY REMAIN RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT.
WE WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS
ENOUGH COLDER AIR WILL SINCE SOUTHWARD TO INDUCE HIGH PROBABILITIES
