AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1059 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011
.UPDATE...
/1058 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011/
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND FLASH FLOODING...
SEVERE POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR THIS EVENING...THOUGH THE THREAT FROM
SEVERE /AND PARTICULARLY TORNADOES/ IS LOWER AT THIS TIME. CONVECTION
FROM EARLY IN THE DAY HAS LEFT THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS MUCH OF OUR
FORECAST REGION MORE STABILIZED THAN ANTICIPATED EARLIER.
HOWEVER...WITH RADAR MEASURED LOW LEVEL JET WINDS OF 60 KNOTS
IMPINGING ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BROKEN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT
WAS MOVED INTO WESTERN MISSOURI...THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS IN THE FORM OF 1 INCH
HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS TO 60 MPH AS THE STORMS ENTERED OUR AREA. AS
THE STORMS MOVE FARTHER NORTH AND EAST THEY WILL RUN INTO AN
INCREASING AMOUNT OF STABILITY MITIGATING THE STORMS. AREAS STILL TO
BE WATCHED CLOSELY WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 70 IN
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AS A SECOND LINE OF STORMS PUSH ACROSS EASTERN
KANSAS...THOUGH AT THIS POINT THE SECONDARY STORM LINE IS SHOWING
SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF WEAKENING AS THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS NOTED
RACING AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION IN CENTRAL KANSAS. HOWEVER...EVEN WITH
THE STABLE LOWER LEVELS...MID LEVEL LAPS RATES OF OF 8 C/KM COULD
ADVECT IN ABOVE THE STABLE LOWER LEVELS AS THE PARENT SHORTWAVE TO
ALL THIS ACTIVITY MOVES FARTHER EAST...PROVIDING SOME CONTINUED
POTENTIAL FOR STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY.
IN ADDITION TO ANY SEVERE WEATHER THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS PRODUCE...ANY STORMS THAT OCCUR WILL ALSO LIKELY PACK
SOME HEAVY RAIN. INDIVIDUAL STORMS WILL BE RATHER PROGRESSIVE ACROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT AS SHEAR PROFILES AND THE LOW LEVEL JET KEEP THE
STORMS MOVING QUICKLY...BUT WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE /EACH WITH 1 TO 2 INCH PER HOUR RAINFALL RATES/
PRECIPITATION TOTALS WILL BEGIN TO PILE UP QUICK...POSSIBLY LEADING
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA HAS BEEN
NOSING DOWN FOR MANY DAYS THANKS TO RECENT RAINS...BUT WITH THE
LIFTING WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO STALL IN THE VICINITY OF THE IOWA
BORDER OVERNIGHT...THAT IS CURRENTLY WHERE STORMS WITH THE HIGHEST
RAINFALL RATES ARE EXPECTED BOTH TONIGHT AND AGAIN DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONTS PARENT SHORTWAVE LOW CHURNS ITS WAY EAST
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
CUTTER
&&
.DISCUSSION...
/413 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011/
MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THIS FORECAST CENTERS ON POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE LINE OF STORMS THIS EVENING/TONIGHT.
TONIGHT:
A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM EJECTING INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS WILL SPAWN A WIDESPREAD CLASSIC PLAINS OUTBREAK THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. HIGH RESOLUTION CONVECTIVE MODELS AS WELL
AS LOWER RESOLUTION NAM AND GFS MODELS ALL INDICATE A CONGEALING OF
THE KS AND OK STORMS INTO A QUASI-LINEAR SYSTEM AND RACE IT THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. A SIGNIFICANT
CONCERN HOWEVER IS THE ONGOING CONVECTIVE CLUSTER MOVING THROUGH
CENTRAL MO AND A LARGE AREA OF STRATO CUMULUS LIMITING OUR AVAILABLE
INSTABILITY. NONE-THE-LESS...THINK THAT LARGE SCALE FORCING FROM THE
POWERFUL UPPER WAVE AND VERY STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE
REGION WILL ALLOW FOR A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO EXIST FOR THE
STORMS TO WORK WITH. LOW LEVEL WINDS SHOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY
THIS EVENING WHICH WILL INCREASE THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR AS THE SYSTEM IS
WORKING EAST. MUCH OF THE SHEAR LOOKS CONFINED TO THE LOWER LEVELS AS
WELL WHICH COMBINED WITH HIGH LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES SHOULD RESULT
IN A PERSISTENT TORNADO RISK EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINE AS THE LINE
MOVES THROUGH. SO WHILE THE ENTIRE LINE MAY BE ABLE TO PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS EMBEDDED MESOVORTEX TORNADOES ARE A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE EVENT AS IT IS MOVING THROUGH
OUR FORECAST AREA.
WEDNESDAY:
THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS TO BE INCREASING FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE COLD CORE UPPER LOW VENTURES INTO EASTERN KANSAS
BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MODELS SHOW AN OCCLUDED BOUNDARY EMANATING
FROM THE SURFACE LOW ALSO IN EASTERN KANSAS DRAPED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. STRONG CONVERGENCE ON THE
BOUNDARY...MODEST LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY WITH AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TO
THE SURFACE WINDS ENHANCING LOW LEVEL HELICITY SHOULD SUPPORT A COLD
CORE UPPER LOW TORNADO RISK. HAVE MENTIONED THIS IN THE AFTERNOON HWO
ISSUANCE. GIVEN THE MORE DIURNAL NATURE TO THESE EVENTS ANY SEVERE
THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH BY EARLY EVENING AS THE LOW LEVELS BEGIN TO
STABILIZE ERODING THE LOW LEVEL CAPE. OF COURSE THIS IS HIGHLY
DEPENDENT ON HOW TONIGHTS CONVECTION EVOLVES BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH
ENOUGH ON THE PATTERN TO WARRANT MENTIONING THE RISK.
THURSDAY:
THE UPPER SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW SHOULD BE EXITING THE
AREA LEAVING A SEASONALLY COOL AIRMASS BEHIND WITH RELATIVELY STRONG
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. HIGHS SHOULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE MID 60S
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION MOVE AWAY.
FRIDAY - MONDAY:
WITH THE PRIMARY FOCUS ON THE FIRST FEW PERIODS FOLLOWED CONSENSUS
MODELS CLOSELY. HOWEVER THE PATTERN MAY CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVE AS
WESTERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES.
CDB
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
MOVING INTO EASTERN KS WILL PASS ACROSS THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS
EVENING. WHILE LARGE HAIL AND STRAIGHT LINE DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE
MOST LIKELY SEVERE THREATS WILL NEED TO BE AWARE THAT LOW LEVEL
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER WEST CENTRAL MO WHICH WOULD
INCREASE POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING STORMS.
SHORT RANGE MODELS ALSO SUGGEST A SECOND WAVE OF STORMS WILL AFFECT
THE TERMINALS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND GIVEN LATEST UPSTREAM RADAR TRENDS
THIS LOOKS QUITE REASONABLE. SHOULD BE A LULL IN STORMINESS FROM
PRE-DAWN HOURS THROUGH MOST OF WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH MVFR CEILINGS
MOST LIKELY.
SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KS AND WEST CENTRAL MO AS PRIMARY PORTION OF
UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES THE TERMINALS.

SEVERAL NEGATIVE PARAMETERS FOR SEVERE WEATHER DEAL WITH A STABLE AIRMASS LEFT OVER FROM THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. THE APPROACHING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ENTERING THIS STABLE AIRMASS SHORTLY. HOWEVER...SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY RAMPING UP THE SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WHICH WILL INCREASE THE LOWE LEVEL HELICITY AND O-3 KM SHEAR. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A BALANCING ACT OF PARAMETERS. WITH THIS IN MIND CURRENT THINKING IS ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS. HOWEVER...CANNOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT TORNADIC THREAT OVER WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING. THE BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY TRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH THE SEVERE THREAT MUTED OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. A SECOND BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH THIS ACTIVITY TRACKING ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AS THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVES OVER EASTERN KANSAS...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE FROM LARGE HAIL AS WELL AS ISOLATED TORNADOES. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH SOON AFTER SUNSET AS COLDER AIR BEGINS TO DOMINATE THE SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITATION EVENTS WILL BE SCATTERED AND NOT CONTINUOUS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY IN THUNDERSTORMS...WILL LIKELY DEVELOP. TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK MAY EXCEED SEVERAL INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. THIS WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...AND WILL LIKELY PUSH SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS INTO FLOOD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING MAINLY OVER WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS. SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MJ
