AMOUNTS RAPIDLY DECREASING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE STORM TRACK.

AS OF THIS MORNING...THE BEST THREAT FOR ACCUMULATIONS AROUND SIX

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1128 AM CDT SAT MAR 28 2009

.A VERY POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN
OKLAHOMA WILL TRACK INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
THE OZARKS THIS MORNING...AND HAS LIFTED NORTH AND ACROSS EASTERN
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI.

PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN PRIMARILY RAIN SOUTH OF A LINE FROM NEAR
BUTLER TO CHILLICOTHE. AIR TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED TO OR BELOW THE
FREEZING MARK NORTH OF THIS LINE...WHERE A MIXTURE OF FREEZING RAIN
AND SLEET HAVE BEEN REPORTED. LOCATIONS ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KANSAS
AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI HAVE EXPERIENCED PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN AND
SLEET...WHICH WILL LAST INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE LIMITED TO MOSTLY ELEVATED SURFACES...THOUGH SIGNIFICANT ICING MAY
BE EXPERIENCE ON TREES AND POWER LINES.

A NARROW AXIS OF HEAVY SNOW IS REDEVELOPING FROM SOUTHEAST
NEBRASKA THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS...GENERALLY ALONG A BEATRICE TO
WEST OF EMPORIA LINE. THIS SNOW BAND IS EXPECTED TO AGAIN
REDEVELOP INTO EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI THIS
AFTERNOON...AND SHIFT INTO NORTHEAST MISSOURI THIS EVENING. THE
RESULT WILL BE A VERY NARROW AXIS OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION...WITH AMOUNTS RAPIDLY DECREASING ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE STORM TRACK. IN ADDITION...MODERATE TO HEAVY SLEET WILL BE
POSSIBLE BETWEEN THE CURRENT SWATH OF FREEZING RAIN AND THE BAND OF
HEAVIER SNOW. 

AS OF LATE THIS MORNING BASED ON RADAR AND MODEL TRENDS...THE BEST
THREAT FOR HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE ALONG A LINE FROM NEAR
KANSAS CITY TO KIRKSVILLE. GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM AND
TRANSIENT REFORMING DEFORMATION BAND...SOME ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE CERTAIN. ICE ACCUMULATIONS
MAY LOCALLY REACH A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH...WHILE SLEET ACCUMULATIONS
COULD LOCALLY REACH UP TO AN INCH.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
444 AM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009

.DISCUSSION...

OBVIOUSLY THIS DISCUSSION WILL FOCUS ON THE UPCOMING STORM
SYSTEM...PROGGED TO MOVE OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. FAVORED MODEL CONTINUES TO BE THE ECMWF WHICH HAS BEEN
THE MOST CONSISTENT WITH BOTH TRACK AND TIMING....TAKING THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW EAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA INTO ARKANSAS BEFORE TURNING IT
NORTHEAST INTO THE LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEY. WEAK SHORTWAVE NOTED
OVER SOUTHERN UTAH SHOULD MOVE EAST INTO THE REGION LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT...BRINGING OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN. LESS INSTABILITY NOTED
ON PROGS...BUT HAVE HELD ON TO SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDER OVER
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA DUE TO EXPECTED STRENGTH OF
WARM AIR ADVECTION. THIS WAVE QUICKLY MOVES NORTHEAST...LEAVING
FORECAST AREA IN A BIT OF A LULL FOR THE MAJORITY OF FRIDAY.

WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR FILTERING IN ACROSS THE
REGION FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. WITH TRAJECTORIES LOOKING TO BE MORE
NORTHEAST THAN NORTH OR NORTHWEST...AIR TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN
ABOVE FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. EXCEPTION WILL BE FAR NORTHWEST
MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST KANSAS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...WHERE TEMPS MAY
DROP TO AROUND FREEZING. THIS SHOULD KEEP PRECIP TYPE PREDOMINANTLY
RAIN THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AND INTO SATURDAY FOR MUCH OF THE
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES
EAST...AFFECTS OF DYNAMIC COOLING WILL QUICKLY CHANGE RAIN OVER TO
SNOW. IF THE DYNAMICS OF THE SYSTEM ARE AS STRONG AS PROGGED...THEN
THUNDERSNOW WILL BE LIKELY. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE FEEDING INTO
THE SYSTEM WILL COMBINE WITH THE STRONG DYNAMICS...LEADING TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF AT LEAST 6 INCHES OF SNOW WITHIN THE HEAVY SNOW BAND.
JUST WHERE THAT BAND SETS UP IS STILL IN QUESTION. RIGHT NOW...
CONSENSUS TAKES THE HEAVY SNOW BAND FROM THE CENTRAL OKLAHOMA/KANSAS
BORDER NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. FOR NOW HAVE MENTION OF
MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KANSAS
CITY TO KIRKSVILLE. WILL NOT ISSUE ANY KIND OF HEADLINES AT THIS
TIME...WITH THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM STILL A MAJOR QUESTION.

ALSO EXPECT THE SYSTEM TO MOVE OUT SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST...SO HAVE PUSHED CHANCE POPS INTO SATURDAY EVENING...MAINLY
FOR CENTRAL INTO EASTERN SECTIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...BACK EDGE OF MID CLOUDS WILL CLEAR THE TERMINALS
SHORTLY...THEN EXPECT RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES UNTIL AROUND SUNRISE.
SATELLITE IMAGERY ALREADY SHOWING THE LEADING EDGE OF THE NEXT WAVE
OF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ENTERING THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND THEY
WILL START ARRIVING THURSDAY MORNING. AS WARM AIR ADVECTION
INCREASES AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM EXPECT TO SEE A GRADUAL LOWERING
OF MID CLOUD CEILINGS STARTING BY MID AFTERNOON. LACKING A DRY
SUB-CLOUD LAYER THIS TIME AROUND...IT WONT TAKE LONG TO SATURATE THE
COLUMN SO RAIN SHOULD START AT THE TERMINALS DURING THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS. CURRENT FORECAST MAY BE TOO OPTIMISTIC ON CEILINGS
AND WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF LATER FORECASTS NEED TO LOWER THEM.

1258 PM CDT THU MAR 26 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 VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL DEEPEN OVER THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES LATE TODAY...AND EJECT ACROSS THE MISSOURI-ARKANSAS BORDER
BY SATURDAY EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL MOVE NORTH TOWARDS CENTRAL
MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH
OF INTERSTATE 70 MAY EXPERIENCE A FEW OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH
NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

AT THE SAME TIME...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN
MISSOURI...USHERING IN SUBFREEZING AIR ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A
LEAVENWORTH TO KIRKSVILLE LINE LATE TONIGHT. AS MOISTURE IS PUSHED
NORTH INTO THIS COLDER AIRMASS...RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO SNOW
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OVERNIGHT. MINOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE
POSSIBLE GENERALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
MISSOURI AND FAR NORTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

AS THE INTENSE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES TOWARD SOUTHERN
MISSOURI FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...COOLER AIR WILL
CONTINUE TO BE DRAWN SOUTH TOWARD THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER
VALLEY. AFTER A RESPITE IN PRECIPITATION FOR MOST OF THE DAY
FRIDAY...HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN LATER FRIDAY EVENING...AND
CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY MORNING...WITH HIGH PRECIPITATION RATES
COOLING THE ATMOSPHERE...AND CHANGING RAIN TO SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE
OF THE STORM SYSTEM. SOME LOCATIONS FROM SOUTHERN KANSAS THROUGH
WESTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI COULD EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS...WITH TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY EXCEEDING 6 INCHES IN
MANY LOCATIONS...AND ISOLATED AMOUNTS POSSIBLY REACHING 10 INCHES. ALL
EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL THIS WEEKEND ARE URGED
TO MONITOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS FOR UPDATED DETAILS ON
THIS SIGNIFICANT STORM.

LOW TEMPERATURES BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
BELOW THE FREEZING MARK FOR MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA.
DUE TO THE WARM WEATHER EARLIER THIS MONTH...MANY COLD SENSITIVE
PLANTS HAVE EMERGED EARLY...PARTICULARLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
MISSOURI RIVER. MUCH OF THIS VEGETATION WILL TOLERATE TEMPERATURES
DOWN TO 28 DEGREES...HOWEVER BY SUNDAY MORNING MANY AREAS FROM KANSAS
CITY TO MOBERLY...AND POINTS SOUTH COULD REACH 28 DEGREES OR
LOWER...POSING POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THIS SENSITIVE VEGETATION.
HOWEVER...LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL SATURDAY MAY
ACTUALLY HAVE THESE PLANTS PROTECTED BY THE BLANKET OF
SNOW...LIMITING THE DAMAGE RISK. THOSE WITH FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN
SENSITIVE VEGETATION SHOULD PLAN FOR PROTECTIVE NECESSARY MEASURES
SUNDAY MORNING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED...THOUGH REPORTS OF SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
THROUGH SATURDAY.
