AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
629 AM CDT Thu Mar 22 2012

.UPDATE...
/617 AM CDT Thu Mar 22 2012/

The dry slot rotating north along the Kansas-Missouri border region
early this morning has provided the opportunity for skies to clear in
the wake of overnight rain band. This in turn has resulted in
temperatures dropping a bit across east central Kansas and west
central Missouri, with the domino effect resulting in some areas of
fog developing. Fog should dissipate quickly enough this morning, but
only if the lower clouds associated with the core of the low do not
spread across the region first. Concerns are, if the cloud cover
moves in before the fog dissipates, we could be looking at a soupy
overcast skies as the fog might not dissipate as much as just lift a
little, thus affecting our potential for convection this afternoon.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
/430 AM CDT Thu Mar 22 2012/

Short Range (Today through Saturday)...

Today, the center of the low will shift north into south central
Kansas, before shifting east through Missouri Friday. This will bring
the focus for storms to east central Kansas and west central and
southern Missouri this afternoon as diurnal heating is juxtaposed
below the center of the cold core. Dry air rotating into the center
of the low is quite evident this morning, and is helping displace a
early morning band of rain, but as the center of the low shifts
north this afternoon expect the limited cloud cover apparent in the
center of the low due to the dry air to fill with at least scattered
to broken CU in the diurnal heating of the day. The core of the low,
with its moderately steep lapse rates and no cap, is also where we
then expect redevelopment of convective activity today.
Geographically, expect the primary coverage area for these
afternoon storms to be located from east central Kansas through west
central and southwest Missouri, with the potential focus for storm
activity migrating east overnight into Friday as the low begins to
shift east. Best threat for convection looks to be along and south of
the Missouri River during the overnight hours.

There will be more of a severe potential with any storms that can
develop this afternoon compared to the previous two days. The low
freezing heights and shear within the center of the low may work
with the limited instability of 400-700 J/KG to get some low topped
convection going. Though, the quality of the instability could be a
big question, as it will be somewhat dependent on morning cloud
cover, but given the dry slot rotating through, think that the
morning to early afternoon cloud cover may not do much to inhibit.
Anyhow, storms within the vicinity of the core today will have 30 to
40 knots /at a minimum/ of 0-6km shear to work with, with some models
hinting at another vort maximum rotating north across the Ozarks by
this afternoon, which might enhance the shear even more. Thus, with
low freezing heights and sufficient shear, primary threats noted from
any strong to severe storms would be from hail and perhaps a damaging
wind gusts.

Friday the core of the low will be shifting across southern Missouri
towards the Ohio River Valley, and should allow for more cold core
showers and/or isolated thunderstorms through the daylight hours of
Friday. Friday night, have kept a limited chance of showers across
north central to central Missouri, but did add in patchy fog for
Saturday morning as the clearing skies following the low allow for
decent radiational cooling in the saturated boundary layer.

By Saturday, with the low well to our east, sunny skies, and 850mb
temperatures of 10C advecting in aloft towards the end of the day,
thoughts are that our temperatures will quickly bound back to well
above normal for late March.

Cutter

A more prominent warming trend will continue to take shape during
the latter half of the upcoming weekend as an upper level ridge
shifts overhead. As H85 temps of 12-15c advects into the region and
deeper mixing develops during the afternoon hours, afternoon
temperatures should climb into the middle to upper 70s by Sunday
afternoon. More persistent southerly low level flow will be in place
by Monday as H85 temps climb to 14-17C across the area. This should
allow a few degrees warmer by Monday afternoon with Several
locations flirting with 80s degrees.

With the upper ridge in place heading into the first part of the
work week, precipitation chances will remain on the low side.
However, the next upper short wave trough will move into the Rockies
and eventually in the plains by Tuesday. While there remains
discrepancies in the track, precipitation chances will be on the
increase as the system traverses the northern plains and sends the
associated frontal boundary into the area. The blended output of
chance pops seems reasonable at this juncture and remained close to
these numbers to account.

Deroche

.AVIATION...

For the 06z TAFs: one last band of showers arcing from central
through northwest MO will affect KSTJ for several more hours before
shifting north. Southern edge of rain may nick KMCI in the first
hour of the forecast. The occluded front has lifted north through
all 3 terminals and winds will now be predominantly from the
southeast for most of the forecast. Surface heating and tightening
gradient should result in mid teen winds by mid morning.

Some concern for dense fog forming overnight as UPS fog program
hints at it for all 3 terminals. However, there is quite a bit of
cloud cover still rotating around the closed system over OK that may
not allow sufficient clearing to cool the boundary layer. More
likely outcome is for MVFR fog/stratus to form. This should break up
by mid morning yielding way to VFR conditions for rest of forecast.

Next concern is potential for late afternoon/evening convection. As
the cold core system heads towards west central MO expect to see
scattered afternoon convection form in the eastern/northern quads of
the system with activity rotating westward. Have sufficient
confidence that feel justified to go with a PROB30 group vs just
carrying a CB reference.
