HAWBLITZELWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 3, 6:58 PM CDT, 3 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 6:58 PM CDT, 3 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
658 PM CDT SUN APR 3 2011
...UPDATED FOR AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
20Z KTOP SOUNDING LOOKS BASICALLY LIKE THE 12Z SOUNDING WITH DAYTIME
HEATING/MIXING APPLIED. A NICE TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE FOR METEOROLOGY
STUDENTS STUDYING SKEW-T PRINCIPLES! UNFORTUNATELY...THE SOUNDING
LOOKS LIKE ONE MORE TYPICAL OF LATE JULY AND THIS FORECASTER
CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE WAGERED ON LOW 90F READINGS THIS AFTERNOON.
WOW! RECORD HIGHS HAVE BEEN SMASHED BY 8 TO 10 DEGREES.
IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM...WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH 8 PM FOR ALL
BUT NW MO AND LOOK GOOD WITH 40 TO 45 MPH GUSTS STILL FREQUENT
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MO.
COLD FRONT NOW PUSHING IN EXTREME NW MO /MAY/ BECOME THE FOCUS FOR
WIDELY SCATTERED SEVERE CONVECTION PRIOR TO 00Z. SHALLOW MOISTURE
CHARACTERIZED BY DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 60S WAS ALREADY BEING MIXED
OUT ACROSS ERN KS AS STRONGLY VEERED FLOW CARRIES POST-DRYLINE AIR
INTO THE NW PORTIONS OF THE WARM SECTOR. CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS
STILL SHOW ISOLATED STORMS FORMING ALONG THE BOUNDARY (ROUGHLY
STJ-LAMONI IA) AROUND 23Z...BUT 20Z KTOP SOUNDING SUGGEST THAT AT
LEAST 100MB OF VERTICAL ASCENT WILL NEED TO BE APPLIED BY THE FRONT
TO OVERCOME THE 50 TO 100 J/KG OF INHIBITION STILL PRESENT.
UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT FRONTAL FORCING WILL BE SUFFICIENTLY DEEP
TO ACHIEVE A LEVEL OF FREE CONVECTION...MODERATE TO STRONG
INSTABILITY IS IN PLACE WITH 20Z RUC ANALYSIS INDICATING NEARLY 3000
J/KG OF MLCAPE PRESENT...MOST OF WHICH IS LOADED IN THE PREFERRED
HAIL GROWTH REGION OWING TO NEARLY DRY ADIABATIC MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES.
PER EARLIER DISCUSSION...DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING CONVECTIVE
MODE. THE CLOUD BEARING SHEAR REMAINS AN ISSUE...AS THE HODOGRAPH
REMAINS LARGELY BUNCHED ABOVE 2KM WITH WINDS UNIFORMLY OUT OF THE
WSW AT 40-45 KNOTS. AFTER AN INITIAL SUPERCELL POTENTIAL...STRONG
FLOW PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SUGGESTS THAT A LINEAR MODE
MAY BE QUICKLY ATTAINED. IN ADDITION...INDIVIDUAL UPDRAFTS MAY HAVE
SHORT LIFE SPANS AS STORM MOTION TOWARD THE NORTHEAST SUGGESTS
STORMS WILL BE QUICKLY UNDERCUT BY THE SOUTHEAST SURGING COLD FRONT.
ALL IN ALL...LARGE HAIL APPEARS TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE PARTICULARLY LARGE IF STORMS
REMAIN DISCRETE. GIVEN THE VERY LARGE TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS
EXCEEDING 35-40 DEGREES AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...EVAPORATIONAL
COOLING COULD YIELD A LOCALIZED DAMAGING DOWNBURST WIND
THREAT...WITH AN ADDITIONAL LARGER THREAT POSSIBLE AS STORMS GROW
UPSCALE AND COLD POOLS ARE ESTABLISHED. HOWEVER...SHOULD STORMS BE
UNDERCUT BY THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT...THIS THREAT MAY BE LIMITED AS
WELL. RIGHT NOW DO NOT SEE ANY TORNADO POTENTIAL GIVEN THE
UNFAVORABLE LOW LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES AND LACK OF MOIST/BUOYANT
BOUNDARY LAYER AIR BELOW THE LCL.
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL
SHARPLY INTO THE 40S BY DAYBREAK WITH NORTHWEST WINDS PICKING UP AT
20 TO 30 WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH. MONDAY LOOKS DOWNRIGHT AWFUL IN
COMPARISON WITH TEMPERATURES SOME 40 DEGREES COLDER AMID CLOUDY
SKIES AND SOME MORNING RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRIMARY UPPER
TROUGH. THANKFULLY THIS WILL BE OF VERY SHORT DURATION AS RETURN
FLOW BRINGS US BACK INTO THE 60S TO NEAR 70 FOR TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.
BOOKBINDER
MEDIUM RANGE (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
FLAT AND BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL
CONUS BY THE MIDWEEK TIME FRAME AS A NORTHERN STREAM UPPER SHORT
WAVE TROUGH SLIDES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS TROUGH WILL SEND A
WEAK COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM WILL
LACK ANY STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION LEAVING TEMPS IN THE 60S ACROSS
MOST LOCATIONS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
LARGE UPPER TROUGH THEN DEVELOPS ALONG THE WEST COAST DURING THE
LATTER PART OF THE WEEK AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS
EASTWARD. A LEADING UPPER SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO EJECT
ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AS WAA WING SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA. GIVING
THE TIMING...FEEL AT THIS TIME THAT HIGHER POPS WILL BE LOCATED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
UPPER TROUGH REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES HEADING INTO
THE WEEKEND WITH ENSEMBLE SPREAD BECOMING LARGER BY THIS TIME FRAME
AS MODELS STRUGGLE TO HANDLE HOW FAST TO EJECT THE SYSTEM EASTWARD.
WILL MAINTAIN A CONSENSUS BLEND THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THIS GIVES A
GOOD COMPROMISE AMONG THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS. OTHERWISE...FAIRLY MILD
TEMPS LOOK TO PERSIST THROUGH THE MEDIUM RANGE.
DEROCHE
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY
WINDS ARE THE TWO PRIMARY THREATS EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD. ISOLATED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ERUPTED ALONG A SURFACE FRONT THAT EXTENDED
ROUGHLY FROM KCDJ-KMCI-KTOP. EXPECT STORMS TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE
BASED ON FORECAST MODEL CONSENSUS...THUS HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO GROUP
FOR STORMS IN THE 01-03 UTC TIMEFRAME AT KSTJ AND 02-04 UTC
TIMEFRAME AT KMCI AND KMKC. VERY LARGE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 50KTS
WILL BE POSSIBLE.
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT STILL
IS SUPPORTING SUSTAINED WINDS 20-25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS 30-38KTS...AND
EXPECT TREND TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS WITH WELL MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER. BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLING AND FRONTAL PASSAGE IN
THE 03-04 UTC TIMEFRAME SHOULD LEAD TO DECREASE IN WIND GUST
POTENTIAL.
EXPECT THREAT OF STORMS TO MOVE EAST AND SOUTH OF TERMINAL SITES BY
04-06 UTC. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND STORMS...MVFR CIGS WILL
SETTLE IN AT ALL THREE TERMINAL SITES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 30 KNOTS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS.
MVFR CIGS WILL GIVE WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS BY 15-16 UTC ON MONDAY.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY ORGANIZE INTO A LINE THEY MOVE INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI LATER THIS EVENING... CONTINUING THE THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE THIS EVENING AND INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH ONCE AGAIN WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH POSSIBLE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 MPH.
