1218 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES ARE NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
SATELLITE AND RADAR DATA SHOW A COUPLE OF EAST-WEST BOUNDARIES FROM
EAST CENTRAL KS THROUGH WEST CENTRAL MO. HARD TO SAY WHERE THE TRUE
WARM FRONT LIES AFTER THE CONTAMINATION LEFT OVER FROM THE DEPARTED
MORNING MCS. HOWEVER...BASED ON LATEST SPC KINEMATIC FIELDS WILL
PLACE A WARM FRONT FROM CENTRAL KS EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN CWA
CURVING SE THROUGH THE MO BOOTHEEL. ANOTHER BOUNDARY LIES JUST NORTH
OF THIS FROM NEAR CNK THROUGH MKC AND ALONG THE MO RIVER. CURRENTLY
FLAT BUT AGITATED CU HAS FORMED ALONG/SOUTH OF THESE BOUNDARIES WITH
SURFACE BASED CAPES IN EXCESS OF 4000 J/KG. GUESS ONE COULD SAY THE
AIRMASS IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. WITH H7 TEMPERATURES +11C OR WARMER
OVER EASTERN KS/WEST CENTRAL MO THE AIRMASS IS CURRENTLY
CAPPED...BUT INHIBITION IS NEARLY GONE AS NOTED BY CIN VALUES OF
25-50 J/KG. HARD TO LOCATE ANY TYPE OF MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAX THAT
COULD BE ENOUGH TO INITIATE STORMS. ALSO KEEPING AN EYE ON THE WEAK
COLD FRONT WHICH LIES ACROSS SOUTHEAST NE.

12Z 4KM ARW-NMM DOES SUPPORT A CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF STORMS DEVELOPING
ALONG BOTH THE COLD FRONT (VERY LATE AFTERNOON) AND KS PORTION OF
WARM FRONT (BETWEEN 01Z-02Z). ACTIVITY SHOULD TRACK IN A GENERAL
EASTERLY DIRECTION. IF STORMS FORM THEY SHOULD BECOME SEVERE DUE TO
THE EXTREME INSTABILITY. 0-6KM SHEAR OF 30KTS IS JUST BARELY ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT A FEW SUPERCELLS WITH MULTICELLULAR STORMS MORE LIKELY
AND AN MCS OR TWO EVENTUALLY.

MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE RIDGING EXPECTED TO MOVE IN WITH SUBSIDENCE
TOMORROW SO MOST OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DRY...HUMID AND VERY WARM.
SATURDAY NIGHT LOOKING INTERESTING AS MODELS SHOW A CONSENSUS ON A
LARGE MCS FORMING NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. DUE TO WHAT HAPPENS WITH
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM TONIGHTS ACTIVITY SOUTHERN KS/NW OK APPEAR
TO BE THE FAVORITE REGIONS FOR INITIATION WITH THE ACTIVITY QUICKLY
MOVING NEWD THROUGH EASTERN KS AND WEST CENTRAL MO. SEVERE WEATHER
AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WOULD BE POSSIBLE IF AS LARGE OF AN MCS
FORMS AS BEING ADVERTISED BY SEVERAL MODELS. HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE
TO INCREASE POPS TO LOW END OF LIKELY RANGE.

ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE IN OR NEAR NORTHERN MO SUNDAY
EVENING SO ONCE AGAIN THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR CONVECTION.

MJ

MEDIUM RANGE (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS REMAIN IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH NEXT
WEEK...WITH ONLY SUBTLE DIFFERENCES REGARDING A TROUGH THAT WILL
SWING THROUGH THE CENTRAL CONUS MIDWEEK. ON MONDAY...WARM FRONT WILL
SURGE FROM NORTHERN MISSOURI EARLY IN THE DAY INTO SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA BY LATE AFTERNOON...LEAVING THE ENTIRE CWA WARM SECTORED
AND DRY IN THE PRESENCE OF A STRONG EML.

ALL MED RANGE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES AGREE ON A COLD FRONT SWINGING
THROUGH THE CWA LATE TUESDAY AS A SURFACE LOW TRACKS INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ALTHOUGH BEST UPPER SUPPORT WILL TRACK NORTH OF
THE REGION IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LOW...FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE...STRONG INSTABILITY AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
APPROACHING 2 INCHES SHOULD FAVOR A BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TRACKING THROUGH THE AREA TUES AND TUES NIGHT. STAYED
CLOSE TO A MODEL CONSENSUS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. MODEST
AGREEMENT EXISTS AMONG MED RANGE MODELS THAT 850 TEMPS WILL DROP
BELOW 15C BY THURSDAY. THIS SUPPORTS SURFACE TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW AVERAGE. DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WORK WEEK...UNTIL A WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA FROM
THE SOUTHWEST LATE THURSDAY.

.AVIATION...

INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS DOUGLAS COUNTY WILL PROPAGATE TOWARDS
KMCI AND KMKC OVER THE NEXT HOUR WITH ROUGH TIMING BRINGING THIS
ACTIVITY INTO THE TERMINALS BY 0600 TO 0615Z. HAVE INDICATED 20G30KT
WINDS BUT SHOULD THE STORM INTENSIFY...WINDS MAY BE STRONGER THAN
CURRENTLY FORECAST. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE IN THE VICINITY OF
THE TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BEFORE MESOSCALE EVOLUTION OF
THE STORMS LEAD TO A LESS CERTAIN FORECAST. OTHERWISE...THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES WILL INCREASE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH EXACT TIMING
AND LOCATION IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THE MOMENT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL AND
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

 CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
 ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA...BOTH ALONG A WARM FRONT ACROSS EAST
 CENTRAL KANSAS THROUGH CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS ALONG A COLD
 FRONT THAT WILL ADVANCE SOUTHEAST FROM NEBRASKA LATER THIS
 EVENING. DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS AND LARGE HAIL APPEAR TO BE
 THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS INTO THE EVENING AND
 OVERNIGHT HOURS.

 IN THE WAKE OF EARLY MORNING THUNDERSTORMS...THE COLD FRONT WILL
 BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY...SETTING THE FOCUS
 FOR A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE DURING THE
 AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS APPEAR INCREASINGLY
 FAVORABLE FOR A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY CONTAIN VERY
 LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES...ALONG WITH
 TORRENTIAL RAINFALL DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS
 ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI.

 IF SUFFICIENT SUNSHINE CAN RETURN TO THE REGION LATE TOMORROW
 MORNING AND AFTERNOON...A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL ALLOW
 HEAT INDICES TO REACH THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S.

 ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO
 MISSOURI EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE WILL BE A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS
 MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
 POSSIBLE.

 ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED WITH THE
 THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH NEXT WEEK...LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL
 WILL BE POSSIBLE. THIS COULD LEAD TO FLOODING OF SMALLER STREAMS
 AND RIVERS AND COULD BRING ADDITIONAL RISES TO THE MISSOURI RIVER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NECESSARY THIS EVENING ALONG AND SOUTH OF
 INTERSTATE 70...AS WELL AS FAR NORTHWEST MISSOURI LATER THIS
 EVENING.
