AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1224 PM CDT TUE JUL 12 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

DANGEROUSLY HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL GRAB THE INITIAL HEADLINES
TODAY BUT POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALSO LOOMS FOR LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. NOT MUCH CHANGE EXPECTED IN THE 850MB
AND BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES WHILE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS POOLED
NORTH OF THE MO RIVER. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIES FROM NEAR STL
WESTWARD THROUGH THE HEART OF THE KC METRO INTO NORTH CENTRAL KS.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY WITH A FEW TRIPLE DIGIT
READINGS POSSIBLE IN THE MORE URBANIZED AREAS. HEAT INDICES LIKELY
TO FALL WITHIN THE 105-110 REGION SO WILL MAINTAIN THE EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNING FOR AREAS GENERALLY SOUTH OF A ST JOSEPH TO MACON LINE.
FAR NORTHERN MO WILL BE A TAD COOLER AND HEAT INDICES IN THE 100-105
RANGE BETTER SUPPORT A HEAT ADVISORY VS A WARNING SO WILL MAKE THE
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLINES.

THE ABOVE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT NORTHWARD TODAY
WHILE A BAROCLINIC ZONE APPROXIMATING THE H8 FRONT LIES NEAR THE
MO/IA BORDER. BOTH BOUNDARIES COULD BECOME FOCI FOR POSSIBLE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH MUCAPES
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 4000+ J/KG RANGE NEAR THE SURFACE FRONT THERE
IS PLENTY OF FIREPOWER FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
INSPECTION OF NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERTED VEE PROFILE WHICH
SUPPORTS MICROBURST POTENTIAL FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
SURFACE FRONT. WILL ALSO BE WATCHING THE MORNING CONVECTION OVER
EASTERN NE TO SEE IF IT WILL LAY OUT ANY TYPE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
WHICH COULD REINFORCE THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. ALSO OF CONCERN IS THE
COMPACT VORTICITY MAX OVER THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE. FEATURE IS
ADRIFT WITHIN THE WEAK FLOW TIED TO THE LARGE ANTICYCLONE CENTERED
OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. CONVECTION HAS BEEN AND WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO BE FOUND CLOSE TO THE VORTICITY CENTER. THIS FEATURE IS
PROGGED TO MOVE SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY/TONIGHT WITH
CONVECTION POSSIBLY REACHING INTO THE FAR SW SECTIONS OF THE CWA BY
VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE PUSHED ANY RAIN THREAT TO LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH BETTER CHANCES THIS EVENING. UNLESS A CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX BECOMES ORGANIZED ACTIVITY WILL MOST LIKELY BE SCATTERED.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND POSSIBLY THE TX/OK VORTICITY CENTER WILL
STILL BE IN THE PICTURE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY SO CHANCE POPS WILL
BE THE WAY TO GO. MORE CLOUD COVER...COOLER H8 TEMPERATURES...AND A
MORE EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE SURFACE WIND FAVORS COOLER
TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL SURELY BE WELCOMED.

HOWEVER...THESE COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE SHORT-LIVED AS
THE UPPER HIGH REFORMS TO THE WEST OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
PLAINS LATER IN THE WEEK AND FORCES THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF
THE CWA AND ALLOWS THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY TO RETURN. THERE
ARE SOME SIGNS THAT THE HEAT MAY NOT BE AS BAD AS YESTERDAY AND
TODAY AS SURFACE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE MORE FROM THE SOUTHEAST OR
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST INSTEAD OF THE HOTTER SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. RAIN
CHANCES AFTER THURSDAY WILL BECOME SCARCE AS AN ELEVATED MIXED LAYER
PUSHES IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS WELL-EVIDENT ON
RADAR EXTENDING FROM NORTHEAST MO TO NEAR MCI. EXPECT WINDS TO BACK
TO THE NORTHEAST OR NORTH BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...BUT ITS IMPACTS ON
MCI ARE UNCERTAIN AS THE BOUNDARY IS LIKELY TO SLOW DOWN AND MAY JUST
BRIEFLY BACK THE WINDS THERE BEFORE IT MIXES OUT WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR WINDS TO RETURN TO THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST AFTER A FEW HOURS. OF
BIGGER CONCERN IS THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS A VERY
SLOWLY MOVING UPPER WAVE OVER CENTRAL KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA BEGINS TO
INTERACT WITH A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY NEAR THE STJ-IRK CORRIDOR
LATER THIS EVENING. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS
WILL BE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...AS WELL AS FURTHER
SOUTH ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WHERE THE
UPPER WAVE IS BETTER DEFINED. WITH THE EXPECTATION OF JUST WIDELY-
SCATTERED OR EVEN ISOLATED ACTIVITY FOR THE KC TERMINALS...WILL
CONTINUE WITH ONLY A VCTS THROUGH 04Z. ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNBURSTS.
