AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
656 AM CDT SUN APR 5 2009

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE WITH ONGOING STORM SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENT
FREEZING TEMPERATURES TONIGHT.

WELL DEFINED AND TIGHTLY WOUND STORM SYSTEM NOW EVIDENT VIA WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS EXTREME EASTERN NEBRASKA/WESTERN IOWA EARLY THIS
MORNING. SEEING ONGOING DEFORMATION BAND ACROSS EAST CENTRAL NE INTO
WEST CENTRAL IA WITH LIGHTER PRECIP DEVELOPING FURTHER SOUTH INTO FAR
SOUTHEAST NE AS WELL. IN ADDITION...STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ACROSS
MOST OF EASTERN NEBRASKA WITH A WELL DEFINED SFC LOW NOW SITUATED
NEAR FALLS CITY, NE.

UPPER LOW LOOKS TO PIVOT SOUTHEAST THEN EAST ACROSS THE CWA THIS
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS UPSTREAM WAVE DIVES INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND MAIN SOUTHERN STREAM JET REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. AS THIS
OCCURS...SFC LOW WILL QUICKLY SLIDE EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI
THIS MORNING AND SHOULD MOVE INTO NORTHEAST MISSOURI BY THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. MAIN DEFORMATION BAND ACROSS IOWA WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN THIS MORNING WITH ADDITIONAL RAIN/SNOW DEVELOPING ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSOURI AS VORT LOBE ROTATES AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF UPPER
SYSTEM AND COMBINES WITH DECENT EPV AND BANDED FRONTOGENESIS. A BRIEF
PERIOD OF RAIN MAY INITIALLY DEVELOP BEFORE A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW
ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES. COUNTIES FURTHER EAST ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI WILL LIKELY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO CHANGE
OVER BUT SHOULD DO SO BY THIS AFTERNOON. A GENERAL RAIN/SNOW MIX
EXPECTED FURTHER SOUTH...MAINLY SOUTH OF HWY 36...AS THE TEMPERATURE
PROFILE TAKES A LITTLE LONGER TO DROP BELOW FREEZING. MAIN CONCERN
TODAY WILL BE ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES AS THE COMBINATION OF
SNOW AND STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL RESULT IN REDUCED VISIBILITIES
AT TIMES. HAVE THEREFORE WENT WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI FOR THE TIME BEING. HELD OFF ON AREAS
FURTHER EAST DUE TO UNCERTAINTY REGARDING SNOW AMOUNT...SO WILL LET
THE DAY SHIFT REANALYZE AND DECIDE WHETHER TO EXTEND THE ADVISORY
FURTHER EAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

UPPER LOW SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AS SECONDARY VORT MAX DIVES
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. WITH STRONG CAA THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY...BELIEVE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW THE FREEZING MARK ACROSS
MOST LOCATIONS TONIGHT. WITH THE EARLY BLOOMING DATE...TENDER
VEGETATION WILL AGAIN BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
THEREFORE...ISSUED A FREEZE WARNING FOR AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER TONIGHT WHERE A LARGER NUMBER OF GROWING
DEGREE DAYS HAVE TAKEN PLACE.

LLVL TEMPERATURE PROFILE REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY COLD THROUGH THE DAY
MONDAY TO SUPPORT LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES AS AFOREMENTIONED WAVE SLIDES
ACROSS THE AREA. OTHERWISE...PRECIP SHOULD END BY MONDAY NIGHT ALONG
WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES. THIS SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR MORE
EFFECTIVE RADIATIONAL COOLING AND KILLING FREEZE ACROSS THE AREA.

BEYOND MONDAY NIGHT...A GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL TAKE SHAPE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL US AS UPPER RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS INTO THE PLAINS. THE NEXT
UPPER WAVE LOOKS TO AFFECT THE REGION TOWARDS THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK. OVERALL...NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE BEYOND DAY 3.

DEROCHE

&&

.AVIATION...
/1125 PM CDT SAT APR 4 2009/

FOR THE 12Z TAFS...A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEARLY VERTICALLY
STACKED WILL AFFECT THE TERMINALS THROUGH TONIGHT. WRAP AROUND MVFR
STRATUS WILL HAVE A NEARLY UNIFORM CEILING DURING THIS FORECAST.
VERY STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SOON MOVE INTO THE TERMINALS WITH
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30KTS STARTING BY MID MORNING. RAIN AND SNOW WILL
AFFECT ALL 3 TERMINALS STARTING AROUND 15Z. PROGGED SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST THE PRECIPITATION WILL START OFF AS LIGHT RAIN BUT THEN
QUICKLY TRANSITION TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX AND THEN ALL SNOW BY 17Z/18Z.
BEST CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE SNOW WILL BE AT KSTJ BUT WITH AIR
TEMPERATURES LIKELY IN THE MID 30S ANY ACCUMULATION WILL BE MAINLY
ON GRASSY OR ELEVATED SURFACES. THE SNOW SHOULD END EARLY THIS
EVENING BUT MVFR STRATUS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT WHILE THE
SURFACE WINDS GRADUALLY WEAKEN TONIGHT.
