AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
358 PM CDT FRI APR 22 2011

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT RANGE (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...

FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS...CONVECTION IS STARTING TO
BUBBLE ALONG THE ADVANCING FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN WEST CENTRAL/CENTRAL
MISSOURI. STORMS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PERK UP ALONG THAT ADVANCING
BOUNDARY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS NOW...BUT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE CAP
EVIDENT IN THE SPECIAL 20Z SOUNDING FROM THE SPRINGFIELD WEATHER
OFFICE. THE CURRENT POSITION OF THE STORMS...AND SPEED WITH WHICH THE
FRONT IS ADVANCING EAST...INDICATE THAT ONLY AREAS IN PETTIES...
COOPER...AND HOWARD COUNTIES ARE UNDER ANY THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER
FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THAT THREAT SHOULD COME TO
AN END AROUND 22Z /5 PM/ AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES EAST. TILL THEN...ANY
STORMS IN THIS AREA COULD HAVE ALL MANNER OF SEVERE WEATHER
ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

BY THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...THE COLD FRONT GETTING DRAGGED ALONG BY
THE SURFACE LOW...CURRENTLY MOVING EAST ACROSS WEST CENTRAL
MISSOURI...WILL HAVE SWEPT THROUGH THE REGION AND PUSHED ANY STORM
ACTIVITY THAT IS OCCURRING WELL TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST.

AS THE FRONT SETTLES INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI OVERNIGHT...THIS WILL
ALLOW A WEAK SURFACE HIGH TO NOSE INTO THE THE NORTHERN HALF OF
MISSOURI. CLOUD COVER SHOULD START TO ERODE AS THIS OCCURS
OVERNIGHT...AND FOR SATURDAY THIS SHOULD KEEP MUCH OF THE FOCUS FOR
MORE STORMS SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA THOUGH THE MORNING HOURS.
TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON HOURS A TROUGH MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES WILL BEGIN INFLUENCING OUR REGION OF THE COUNTY...PUTTING
SOME PRESSURE ON THE FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI TO MOVE NORTH.
WITH THE SURFACE HIGH UP NORTH...THOUGHTS ARE THE FRONT WONT MAKE
MUCH PROGRESS IN SHIFTING IN OUR DIRECTION OWING TO THE WEAK SURFACE
HIGH...BUT THAT WE MIGHT SEE SOME SHOWERS AND OR THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA AS EARLY AS THE
AFTERNOON HOURS NONE THE LESS AS MID-LEVEL WINDS BACK ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND THE ELEVATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS SHIFTING
BACK TO THE NORTH. BETTER POTENTIAL FOR THE RETURN OF STORMS WILL
ARRIVE SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES TROUGH MOVES A LITTLE
CLOSER...HELPING FOCUS A NOCTURNAL JET ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO DEVELOP A COMPLEX
OF STORMS WHICH WOULD THEN TRACK NORTHEAST THROUGH WEST CENTRAL
MISSOURI.

BY SUNDAY...THE HIGHER END POTENTIALS FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE
REGION WILL HAVE SPREAD BACK TO THE NORTH ENOUGH TO ENCOMPASS MUCH
OF THE FORECAST REGION AS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD
INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. DESPITE THE HIGH END POPS ACROSS OUR
REGION...MANY OF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO FOCUS THE HIGHEST
PRECIPITATION TOTALS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN MISSOURI WHERE THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STILL BE WALLOWING. GIVEN THAT ANY
CONVECTION FROM SATURDAY NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WILL HAVE A
MAJOR INFLUENCE ON THE FRONTS POSITION /AND ANY RESULTING
CONVECTION/ HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE HIGHER END POPS GOING FOR MUCH OF
THE FORECAST REGION THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

WITH THERE STILL BEING THE POTENTIAL FOR MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI...THERE IS
STILL ALSO PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR EXTENSIVE RIVER AND
SMALL STREAM FLOODING. HOWEVER...WITH THE BREAK PRECIPITATION THAT
WE WILL GET DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF WHERE
THE FRONT AND RESULTING HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR...HAVE OPTED NOT TO
ISSUE ANY FLOOD WATCHES AT THIS TIME.

CUTTER

MEDIUM RANGE (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST INTO THE FIRST HALF OF
NEXT WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING SINKS INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. FOR
MONDAY...FOCUS WILL BE ON A SET OF SURFACE LOWS OVER IL AND OK WITH
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING BETWEEN THEM OVER MO. WITH A DECENT
LOW TO MID LEVEL JET AND A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW USHERING PLENTY OF
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...COULD SEE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. AS THIS
SURFACE LOW PROGRESSES TO THE NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY...COULD SEE A
BRIEF DRY PERIOD DURING THE DAY BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM REACHES THE
AREA. WITH THIS SYSTEM...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIG A BIT
FURTHER SOUTH INTO OK ON TUESDAY. THIS DEEPER TROUGH WILL HELP KEEP
THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...RESULTING IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES
PRIMARILY FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN
MISSOURI. ONCE THIS SYSTEM PUSHES NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SETS UP OVER
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CONUS. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY STAY
SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK AS
THOSE TWO WAVES MOVE THROUGH...BUT SHOULD BE WARMING UP TO NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE BY THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.

ACH

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAF...LIFR/IFR CIGS CONTINUE TO ENVELOPE ALL THREE
TERMINAL SITES...WITH PERIODIC IFR/MVFR VSBYS DUE TO SHRA AND MIST.
BASED ON REGIONAL RADAR LOOP...EXPECT SHRA THREAT TO END BY 19-20
UTC AS AXIS OF BETTER ISENTROPIC FORCING MOVES EAST OF THE TERMINAL
SITES.  ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE AND APRIL INSOLATION WILL COMBINE TO
BREAK IFR STRATUS DECK BY MID-AFTERNOON...WITH HRRR AND NAM GUIDANCE
SUPPORTING THIS SCENARIO...AND EXPECT SKIES TO CLEAR BY 00 UTC.

A SURFACE LOW WILL PASS SOUTH AND EAST OF TERMINALS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH WINDS SHIFTING FROM THE NORTHEAST TO WEST IN ITS
WAKE.  WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 12KTS WHILE CLOUDS ARE IN
PLACE...BUT MAY SEE SUSTAIN SPEEDS RISE TO BETWEEN 12-15KTS WITH
GUSTS UP TO 20KTS BY LATE AFTERNOON.
