AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
648 AM CDT TUE JUN 9 2009

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

...HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI TONIGHT...

ZONAL FLOW IS CURRENTLY PREVAILING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS A
CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER -AND TROUGH OFF THE
CALIFORNIA/BAJA COAST- KEEP A RIDGE ACROSS MEXICO AND THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS SUPPRESSED. VERITY OF MODELS FORECAST THAT THE
CALIFORNIA/BAJA TROUGH WILL EJECT SEVERAL SHORTWAVES INTO THE ZONAL
FLOW ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO
THE WEEKEND. CLOSER TO HOME...THE FRONT THAT PUSHED THROUGH THE
REGION YESTERDAY HAS SETTLED ALONG THE ARKANSAS/MISSOURI BORDER.
SHORTWAVES MOVING INTO THE ZONAL FLOW WILL HELP SHIFT THE FRONT BACK
NORTH TODAY...UNFORTUNATELY FINDING THE SHORTWAVE IN THE CONFLUENT
FLOW ACROSS THE PLAINS IS A BIT OF A TASK. STILL...UP SWING IN
CLOUDS ON INFRARED IMAGERY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS ACROSS THE
FAR WESTERN PLAINS...ALONG WITH VEERING H8 WINDS IN THE PROFILER
NETWORK OUT THAT WAY...INDICATE THAT ONE OF THESE HARD TO SEE WAVES
IS HEADING THIS WAY.

SHORT RANGE MODEL OUTPUT IS HAVING A BIT OF A TIME PINNING DOWN HOW
FAR NORTH THE FRONT WILL MOVE TODAY....WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN
THE THE ZONAL FLOW AND COOL HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY SPREAD ACROSS
KANSAS AND MISSOURI. NOT GOING TO GET TO HUNG UP ON ON WHICH MODEL
IS RIGHT OR WRONG FOR NOW...BUT INSTEAD AM CHOOSING TO SIMPLY FOCUS
ON THE FACT THAT A WARM FRONT WILL BE LIFTING INTO CENTRAL -MAYBE
NORTHERN- MISSOURI TODAY. SHORTWAVE MOVING THOUGH TODAY/TONIGHT WILL
THEN FOCUS THE LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES...BASIC
FORECASTING POINTS AT A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION WITH HEAVY
RAIN ACROSS AT LEAST THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT.
AS A RESULT...HAVE BUMPED POPS INTO THE CATEGORICAL RANGE FOR
TONIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 36 FROM ST. JOSEPH TO MACON. HAVE
HOISTED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THESE PORTIONS OF MISSOURI FOR
TONIGHT AS A RESULT. DAY SHIFT MIGHT NEED TO REFINE ITS LOCATION AND
TIMING...BUT WITH FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES OF 1 INCH OR LESS
ACROSS THE MANY PARTS OF THE WATCHED AREA...AND RIVERS ALREADY
SWOLLEN FROM RECENT RAINS...INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WONT TAKE MUCH
TO PRODUCE SOME SORT OF FLOODING.

AS FOR TODAY...SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST MIGHT
KICK CONVECTION OFF EVEN BEFORE TONIGHT. WITH A WARM FRONT MOVING
NORTH...AND SOME MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY...THE WAVE SHOULD ONLY BE
LIMITED BY AVAILABLE MOISTURE...SO IT SHOULD BE ABLE GET SOME
ACTIVITY GOING BY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MOISTURE MOVES NORTH. HAVE
HOWEVER...DID LIMITED LIKELY POPS TO WESTERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST
AREA BASED ON THE LIMITING MOISTURE.

VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT AND A 50 KNOT H5 JET STREAK MIGHT PROVIDE
ENOUGH SHEAR THAT SOME OF THE ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON
MIGHT PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE WEATHER. SIMILAR LOGIC APPLIES TO
THE CONVECTION THAT OCCURS TONIGHT...THOUGH BEST POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WOULD BE ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF ANY CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPS.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE COLD POOL PUT DOWN BY
TONIGHTS CONVECTION WILL HELP SHOVE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY -WHEREVER
IT IS- BACK TO THE SOUTH. BUT...THE FRONT WILL MOST LIKELY WAIT TILL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY TO EXIT THE FORECAST AREA COMPLETELY. THIS
WILL LEAVE A CHANCE OF MORE STORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

CUTTER

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 12Z TAFS...ELEVATED MOISTURE ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A
MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX WAS ALREADY BEGINNING TO GENERATE WIDESPREAD
ELEVATED CONVECTION ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS INTO NEBRASKA. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND SPREAD EAST THIS
MORNING...REACHING THE TERMINALS AROUND THE NOON HOUR. SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED STORMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS FOR MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH GIVEN THEIR HIGH BASED NATURE...CONDITIONS
SHOULD REMAIN GENERALLY VFR.

SOME QUESTION REMAINS AS TO HOW MUCH OF A BREAK WE WILL SEE EARLY
THIS EVENING BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND OF PRECIPITATION BUILDS TOWARD
THE AREA. A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX...ORIGINATING FROM AN
EXPECTED SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK OVER SRN KS/NRN OK ALONG A
RETREATING WARM FRONT...WILL OVERSPREAD THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING.
THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW SHOULD KEEP WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE
SOUTHEAST TO EAST-SOUTHEAST THROUGH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH LOCAL
CONDITIONS WITH VARIABLE/GUSTY WINDS MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
KANSAS CITY TERMINALS LATE THIS EVENING.

MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION MAY ACCOMPANY TONIGHTS MCS...WITH
CEILINGS GRADUALLY LOWERING TO MVFR. AS MOISTURE POOLS LONG AND JUST
BEHIND THE BROAD SURFACE LOW...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE LATER
AMENDMENTS TAKE CEILINGS TO IFR OVERNIGHT.

1258 PM CDT TUE JUN 9 2009

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 BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY THREATS ARE
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...ISOLATED TORNADOES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THIS THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL PUSH AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOUTH TO JUST
SOUTH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE ATMOSPHERE
CONTINUING TO STABILIZE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...AS A STORM SYSTEM
MOVES NORTHEAST OUT OF SOUTHERN KANSAS...THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL
RETREAT NORTH THIS EVENING WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS SURGING
BACK NORTH TO AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. THE FUTURE
LOCATION OF THIS BOUNDARY THIS EVENING IS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE ACTIVITY TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO
WESTERN MISSOURI LATE THIS EVENING. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT. HOWEVER...ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE TONIGHT...ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70.

THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT TONIGHT FOR NORTHERN MISSOURI. THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE EXTENDED SOUTH TO COVER MUCH OF THE
REMAINDER OF THE OUTLOOK AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

DUE TO THE NIGHTTIME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...ANOTHER OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL SAG
SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE BOUNDARY
POSSIBLY RETREATING A LITTLE NORTH DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. A FEW
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. THE PRIMARY THREAT IS LARGE HAIL.

THERE IS A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY FOR
PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. AT THIS TIME...IT IS TOO EARLY TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THE STORMS WILL BE SEVERE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...MAINLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70.
