AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
339 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011

.DISCUSSION...

FINALLY A FORECAST WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HOT
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON! THAT BEING SAID...MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS
FORECAST ARE FOCUSED ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND IMPACTS OF
EVOLVING WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST.

TODAY...MAIN FOCUS IS ON A PAIR OF WEAK SHORTWAVES CURRENTLY MOVING
ACROSS KANSAS. CONVECTION HAS BEEN MOST PREVALENT WITH A DEVELOPING
SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE WHICH PRODUCED A LINEAR MCS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO
SWERN MISSOURI. THERE REMAINS POTENTIAL FOR THIS MCS TO MAINTAIN ITS
INTENSITY OR EVEN INCREASE AS WE MOVE TOWARDS THE MORNING HOURS.
MODEST MUCAPE AROUND 2K J/KG AND WEAK JETLET BETWEEN 700:500 MB MAY
CONTINUE TO PUSH THIS SYSTEM INTO THE OZARKS AND JUST SOUTH OF THE
CWA. FEEL THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS GIVEN ONLY SLIGHT
BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLING...AND REASONABLE DCAPE. FURTHER
NORTHWEST...PRIMARY AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRIFT
EASTWARD. TRICKY MORNING FORECAST AS MODEL GUIDANCE POORLY CAPTURED
THE SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE. FEEL THAT INITIALLY WE MAY HAVE TO WAIT A BIT
LONGER IN THE MORNING FOR CONVECTION TIED TO NORTHERN KS SHORTWAVE TO
DEVELOP. MUCH OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE TIED CLOSELY TO THE UPR
VORT MAX AS IT ROTATES ACROSS NORTHERN MO. THUS...WILL TRY TO PLACE
HIGHEST POPS ALONG TRACK OF THE VORT MAX. REGARDING
TEMPERATURES...ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER WILL BE THE THEME FOR TODAY WHICH
WILL ACTUALLY MAKE AFTERNOON READINGS RATHER COMFORTABLE. READINGS IN
NW MO MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH THE UPPER 70S WITH THE WARMEST READINGS
IN THE FAR SE.

TONIGHT/FRIDAY...UPR LEVEL DISTURBANCE SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE EAST AND
OUT OF THE AREA TONIGHT. LINGERING SHOWERS ARE LIKELY IN THE NERN
CWA. FURTHER SOUTHWEST...MODELS INDICATE LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION
KICKING IN IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KANSAS AS YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH. WHILE SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE DEPARTING WAVE SHOULD
LIMIT PRECIP...ITS POSSIBLE CONVECTION MAY BE ABLE TO REACH THE
WESTERN CWA BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY. FOR THE DAY ON FRIDAY...TRICKY
FORECAST INDEED AS THEIR IS SOME HINT OF A WARM FRONT BEGINNING TO
SURGE NORTHEAST AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY CROSSES THE ROCKIES. THE NORTHERN
CWA COULD HAVE SCATTERED PRECIPITATION AND COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH THE WARM FRONT PULLING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS BACK
INTO THE SOUTHERN CWA BY THE AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY...SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO BISECT THE CWA
WHICH WILL KEEP A CHANCE FOR PRECIP IN THE FORECAST HEADING INTO NEXT
WEEK. A STRONGER SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO DIVE INTO THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES ON SUNDAY...WHICH WILL SEND A SURFACE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
AREA AND INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION.

DUX

&&

.AVIATION...

CONVECTION CONTINUES TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE ACROSS KANSAS AS A
MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
EAST OF ICT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAKENING AS IT ENTERS A MORE STABLE
AIRMASS OVER SE KS...WHILE CONVECTION FURTHER NORTHWEST IS
INTENSIFYING OVER CENTRAL KANSAS IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE BETTER
FORCING. WHILE THE SOUTHERN ACTIVITY MAY APPROACH SW PORTIONS OF THE
KC METRO AROUND 08Z...THINK THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO WANE WHILE FOCUS
SHIFTS TO THE CENTRAL KS ACTIVITY...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO
FAR NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST MO TOWARD SUNRISE. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL LIKELY LAST OFF AND ON THROUGH THE MORNING UNTIL THE MIDLEVEL
TROUGH AXIS SWINGS THROUGH AROUND 18Z. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A
WEAKLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS BEHIND THE TROUGH...BUT WITH BETTER FORCING
PUSHING TO THE EAST...WILL HOLD OFF ON INTRODUCING ANY CB WORDING AS
THE BETTER CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BY FAR BE WITH THE MORNING
ACTIVITY. NEXT QUESTION IS LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD AS LIGHT
WINDS...REMNANT MOISTURE AND A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL INVERSION COULD
RESULT IN A DEVELOPING MVFR DECK...POSSIBLY EVEN IFR STRATUS. WHILE
NOT A CERTAINTY...ESPECIALLY SINCE WE DONT KNOW HOW WIDESPREAD AND
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL BE...ODDS SEEM HIGH ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE AT
LEAST AN MVFR DECK LATE IN THE PERIOD.
