AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
708 PM CDT FRI APR 8 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT...SUNDAY)...

BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM A SFC LOW OVER
NORTHEAST COLORADO WAS DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND CENTRAL
MISSOURI. A DRY LINE MET UP WITH THIS WARM FRONT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI. THIS SET UP...ALONG WITH SOME INSTABILITY PRESENT...RESULTED IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ALONG THE WARM FRONT IN
THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF KANSAS.

FOR TONIGHT...THIS WARM FRONT WILL LIFT FURTHER NORTHWARD INTO THE
CWA...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT. WITH A 30-40KT LLJ AND
1500-2500 J/KG OF MU CAPE INTERACTING WITH THE BOUNDARY...COULD SEE
SOME DECENT ORGANIZED CONVECTION OVER SE KS...AND WEST CENTRAL TO
CENTRAL MO...AND POSSIBLY EXTENDING JUST NORTH OF THE MISSOURI
RIVER. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE...WITH LARGE HAIL BEING
THE PRIMARY THREAT.

THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY ON
SATURDAY...REACHING THE MO/IA BORDER BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND PUTTING
THE ENTIRE REGION IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE SYSTEM. NEAR RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES...REACHING INTO THE MIDDLE 80S TO AROUND 90
DEGREES...ARE EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS A STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW ADVECTS 18-21C 850MB TEMPS OVER THE REGION.

A DRY LINE WILL ONCE AGAIN SET UP OVER CENTRAL KS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. WITH A SIZABLE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND A 40+ KT LLJ
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS DRY LINE...COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST KS AND SOUTHEAST NE. THE
LIKELIHOOD OF ANY CONVECTION SPREADING FURTHER EAST INTO NORTHWEST
MISSOURI HAS DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUNS DUE
TO THE FLOW REMAINING ESSENTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE DRY LINE. THIS
FLOW WILL KEEP THE AREA OF CONVECTION CONFINED TO A MORE NARROW
AREA.

FOR SUNDAY...THE SFC LOW WILL TRACK NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT DRAPED OVER NEBRASKA AND
WESTERN KANSAS. THE MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ON THE TRACKING AND
POSITIONING OF THE DRY LINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. MODELS SHOW THE DRY
LINE MOVING EASTWARD OVER EASTERN KANSAS SUNDAY MORNING...REACHING
THE MO/KS BORDER BY EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE DEWPOINT GRADIENT
BEINGS TO LESSEN AS IT REACHES MISSOURI. MODELS SHOWING THE
INITIATION OF CONVECTION MOST LIKELY OCCURRING BETWEEN 20-22Z.
MODELS HAVE STARTED TO TREND TO A MORE POSITIVE TILT IN THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND A FASTER MOVING SYSTEM. WITH A SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW SETTING UP OVER THE DRYLINE...SOME DRIER AIR COULD BE ADVECTED
INTO THE REGION AND INHIBIT HOW FAR WEST INTO WESTERN MISSOURI THE
INITIATION OF STORMS COULD BE. CURRENTLY EXPECTING THESE STORMS TO
FORM A MORE LINEAR STRUCTURE BY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND PERSIST
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
THIS SYSTEM...WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES BEING POTENTIAL THREATS. THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH
EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

ACH

A VERY POTENT SYSTEM WILL BE EXITING THE REGION EARLY IN THE MEDIUM
RANGE...WITH A QUIET PERIOD EARLY TO MIDWEEK BEFORE THE NEXT
POTENTIAL WEATHER-MAKER MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE VARIOUS
LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS IN THE THU-FRI TIMEFRAME. INCONSISTENCIES ON THE
STRENGTH/DEPTH OF SAID SYSTEM BETWEEN GFS/NAEFS/EC/GEM. NAEFS
SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD IN THE ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS...SO WILL
TREND TO THE MEAN/MEDIAN SOLUTION.  SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL LATE
NEXT WEEK WILL BE DEPENDENT ON TRACK OF UPPER SYSTEM...WITH
GEFS/NAEFS ADVERTISING MORE PROMISING THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER...AND
ECMWF INDICATING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF FORECAST
AREA.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z TAFS...CONVECTION IN NORTHERN OK/SOUTHERN KS SHOULD
BUILD/PROPAGATE NORTHEASTWARD AS IT CONGEALS INTO A COMPLEX AND
TRACKS TO SOUTH AND EAST OF THE TERMINALS. FOR NOW WILL KEEP ANY
PREVAILING THUNDERSTORM MENTION OUT OF THE TERMINALS AS MAINLY THE
KANSAS CITY TERMINALS WOULD BE IN THE STRATIFORM RAIN AREA WITH MORE
ISOLATED/EMBEDDED THUNDER. AFTER THE RAIN MOVES EAST A RELATIVELY
WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL LIKELY RESULTING IN LOWER CIGS
AND VSBYS. IFR CONDITIONS SEEM LIKELY LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. DEEPER MIXING SHOULD THEN SCOUR CIGS AND VSBYS BACK TO VFR
BY LATE MORNING WITH VFR CONDITIONS THEN PREVAILING FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE VALID PERIOD.

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

 EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED OVER NORTH CENTRAL
 OKLAHOMA LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
 EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD NORTHEAST THIS EVENING. A STRONG WARM
 FRONT REMAINED DRAPED FROM NEAR EMPORIA KANSAS...EASTWARD TO NEAR
 CLINTON.

 THESE STORMS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY THIS EVENING AS
 STRONG INSTABILITY AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR REMAIN PRESENT ALONG
 AND JUST SOUTH OF THIS WARM FRONT...EVEN WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
 HEATING. CONDITIONS REMAIN QUITE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
 LATER THIS EVENING ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KANSAS INTO MID
 MISSOURI...WITH THE ONLY QUESTION BEING WHETHER THIS ACTIVITY
 REMAINS JUST SOUTH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA.

 PERSONS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A PAOLA KANSAS TO SEDALIA LINE
 SHOULD MONITOR CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHOULD SEVERE
 WEATHER THREATEN...VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND EVEN AN
 ISOLATED TORNADO WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

 HOT AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
 WARM FRONT LIFTS RAPIDLY NORTH OF THE AREA. RECORD HIGH
 TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES WILL COMBINE
 WITH GUSTY WINDS TO LEAD TO A HEIGHTENED FIRE DANGER.

 LOOKING AHEAD...CONDITIONS STILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR A SIGNIFICANT
 OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER ON SUNDAY. AN INTENSE STORM SYSTEM WILL
 STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE PLAINS DURING THE DAY...WHILE A VERY UNSTABLE
 AND HIGHLY SHEARED AIR MASS DEVELOPS ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND
 WESTERN MISSOURI. RAPID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TO
 OCCUR ALONG AN ADVANCING DRY LINE SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH STORMS
 IMPACTING THE OUTLOOK AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
 HOURS. CURRENT FORECAST DATA SUGGEST THAT SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS
 ARE POSSIBLE...WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES /SOME
 POTENTIALLY STRONG/ IN ADDITION TO VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
 STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. FORECAST CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE TO CHANGE
 INTO THE WEEKEND SO PERSONS ARE URGED TO MONITOR LATER OUTLOOKS ON
 THIS DEVELOPING SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED AFTER 8 PM ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
 PAOLA TO SEDALIA LINE.

 SPOTTERS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
