AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
349 PM CDT WED JUN 16 2010

.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN ERN KS AHEAD OF A WEAK
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MVG THROUGH KS AND OK. THE SHEAR IS QUITE WEAK WITH
AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PROGRESSING SE WELL AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION.
THERE HAS BEEN AN ATTEMPT FOR THE CONVECTION TO MOVE EAST THIS
AFTN...BUT GIVEN THE LOWER DEWPOINTS AND WEAKER BOUNDARY LAYER
FLOW...CONVECTION TENDS TO WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES THE KC METRO.

SBCAPE WAS BELOW 1500 J/KG THIS AFTN FOR XTRM WRN MO WITH THE ERN KS
CONVECTION LIKELY TO PROGRESS MORE SE TOWARD THE HIGHER THETAE ENV.
THEREFORE HAVE RAISED POPS SLIGHTLY FOR THIS EVENING FOR THE SWRN GRIDS.

OVERNIGHT...THE LLJ INTENSIFIES THROUGH CNTRL KS TO CENTRAL NEB WITH A
WEAK BRANCH THROUGH MISSOURI. MODEST ISENTROPIC LIFT IS PRESENT
THROUGH THE 208-215 K LAYER WITH ACCAS DEVELOPMENT LIKELY FOR THE WRN
CWA SHORTLY BEFORE OR AFT MIDNIGHT. AS A RESULT...HIGH BASED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH FCST SOUNDINGS INDICATING ONLY A
VERY SLIM RISK OF SEVERE CONVECTION.

ANY OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL SHIFT EAST THURSDAY MORNING WITH SSWLY
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW LEADING TO WARMER TEMPERATURES. HIGH DEWPOINTS
AND TEMPS IN THE LOW 90S WILL DRIVE HEAT INDICES TO AROUND 100 FOR
THE WRN CWA THURSDAY AND AGAIN FRIDAY.

THE NEXT CONCERN IS THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WRN US WHICH WILL LIFT
NE INTO THE NRN PLAINS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRIVE A
FRONT TOWARD XTRM NWRN MO BY LATE FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH SHEAR WILL BE
WEAK...EXTREME INSTABILITY MAY LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN MCS NR
THE IOWA BDR FRIDAY NIGHT. HAVE INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY.

DB

EXTENDED (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REDEVELOPS OVER THE WRN US AS THE NRN PLAINS
TROUGH SHIFTS EAST. THIS WILL PUT THE CWA IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MOST MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT IN
KEEPING THE CWA ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE THE FLOW WITH A
NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS THE EXTREME NRN CWA OR A
LITTLE FURTHER NORTH INTO SRN NEB/SRN IOWA. AS A
RESULT...THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE BOUNDARY
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY...MAINLY ACR NRN MISSOURI. CONFIDENCE IS NOT
HIGH AS ANY THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL HAVE A DRASTIC INFLUENCE ON FUTURE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THEREFORE...THE REALIZED WEATHER WILL BE
DEPENDENT ON THE MESOSCALE ENVIRONMENT WHICH WILL NOT BE HANDLED WELL
BY THE MODELS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SUCCESSIVE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES
MAY IMPACT AT LEAST THE NRN CWA WITH HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER
POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE...A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL PREVAIL
OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

AJ/DB

.AVIATION...

THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOPED OVER CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE MORNING
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST...AFFECTING THE TAF SITES BETWEEN
ABOUT 21Z-24Z. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD AWAY FROM
THE TAF SITES DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THERE CONTINUES TO BE BE
SIGNALS OF MORE EXTENSIVE ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT.
STILL SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER THIS BAND OF TSTMS
DEVELOPS DIRECTLY OVER THE TERMINAL CORRIDOR...OR MORE TO THE
EAST...AND HAVE CONTINUED MENTION OF PROB30 TOWARD SUNRISE
THURSDAY. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL EXCEPT DURING ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
