AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1238 AM CDT Sun Apr 15 2012

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
/432 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012/
Short Range (Today through Sunday)...

A subtle upper level shortwave sparked convection this morning
across Eastern Nebraska southwestward into Central Kansas. Elevated
convection from this morning has become surface based and damaging
winds...large hail...and a few tornadoes have occurred across the
aforementioned areas. Storms lifting across northeastern Kansas may
move into the clip the forecast area across northwestern Missouri
this evening. If storms make it this far east...model soundings
indicate CAPE values between 1500-2000 J/KG and helicity values
between 300-400 which would provide more than enough instability and
shear to produce storms capable of producing large hail...damaging
winds and even a tornado would be possible as storms could interact
with a surface warm front which lies across northern Missouri. These
storms will then lift north of the area and then attention will turn
further to the west across central Kansas and western Oklahoma where
ongoing supercells have fired along a dryline. Later this evening a
120-140kt jet core will round the base of a upper level trough and
provide the greater upper level support for this system and help a
cold front out across western Kansas. As this cold front overtakes
the dryline the discrete supercells that have formed along this
dryline this evening will eventually congeal into a squall line or
QLCS. This line will then move quickly east across central and
eastern Kansas towards the forecast area. This line is not progged
to move into the west end of the forecast area until after midnight
the main threat with this line will be damaging winds and large hail
however...enough shear may be available to produce an embedded
tornado. This line will then track quickly eastward across western
Missouri during the early morning hours and weaken as it moves into
central Missouri. Severe potential on the day Sunday is conditional
on how quickly the atmosphere can recover and the location of any
boundaries laid out by the overnight convection. The best chance for
severe storms will be over the eastern CWA during the late
morning/early afternoon hours and thusly have kept thunder chances
across the eastern CWA in the likely category for tomorrow
afternoon. Otherwise the potential for severe weather will shift to
the east of the CWA during the afternoon as the aforementioned cold
front move through the area. Winds will be strong and gusty behind
the front out of the southwest around 20-30 MPH gusting to 30-40 MPH
thus a wind advisory may need to be issued but have held off on this
until the next update.

73

Medium Range (Monday through Friday)...

Medium range models are advertising the evolution to a zonal flow
pattern early next week with progressive embedded shortwave troughs.
Typically with this type of pattern the timing of individual waves
are suspect. However, the 12z model runs are in reasonably good
agreement. To help smooth out some of the minor differences have
used the consensus model output for the grids.

The departing cyclone which will bring us our significant weather
will be losing its grip on us as we will be in the backwash of the
system. However, a fast moving impulse will drop through the Central
Plains Monday night and could wring out some light shower activity
from Ks through northern/central MO. Since the bulk of the moisture
will have long since been stripped away by the passing of the
previously mentioned cyclone any precipitation will have to be wrung
out of the clouds that this system brings with it from the Pacific
Ocean.

The next fast moving shortwave will likely track across the Northern
Plains and Upper MS Valley with most of the precipitation skirting
by to the north of MO.

The third system arriving for Thursday night should have a better
chance of providing greater spatial coverage and rainfall amounts as
its forecast track is further south and should be aided by
increasing isentropic ascent along a frontal boundary.

MJ

&&

.AVIATION...

For 06Z TAFs ... focus continues to be on the line of convection
that has formed across central Kansas ahead of the advancing cold
front. Ahead of this system, winds will remain breezy out of the
south as a tight pressure gradient sits over the region. The line
is expected to reach the TAF sites before sunrise and track eastward
through the morning hours. Once the cold front passes late morning,
skies will start to clear out to VFR conditions and winds will shift to
the southwest. The low level jet will really start ramping up over
the area during the afternoon hours, with gusts upwards of 40kts
expected. These winds will subside by sunset.

714 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY WEST OF
INTERSTATE 35 FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT. A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS FOR THE REST OF NORTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTH OF
KANSAS CITY TO BUTLER.

A WARM FRONT LIES ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT
NORTH OVERNIGHT AND INTO IOWA. ALTHOUGH A LARGE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM
WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN OVER SOUTHERN IOWA THIS
EVENING...THERE WILL REMAIN A THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO
REDEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT UNTIL IT MOVES INTO
SOUTHERN IOWA LATER THIS EVENING. ANY STORM WHICH DOES FORM COULD
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO.

DISCRETE SUPER-CELLS TIED TO A DRY-LINE RUNNING NORTH-SOUTH THROUGH
CENTRAL KANSAS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL LINE AS IT SHIFTS
EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. CURRENT TIMING SUGGESTS THIS LINE OF STORM WOULD
REACH EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS AND ADJACENT WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI
AROUND DAYBREAK. THESE STORMS MAY REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO
CONTINUE PRODUCING SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE NIGHT. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES WILL ALL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

WHILE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING OVER FAR WEST CENTRAL
MISSOURI SUNDAY MORNING..THE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOST
LIKELY LIE OVER NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. AREAS EAST OF A KIRKSVILLE TO SEDALIA LINE WILL LIE WITHIN THE
RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO OCCUR
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

ADDITIONALLY...VERY STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY
SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA SUNDAY BEHIND A WEAK WIND SHIFT
LINE THAT WILL FOLLOW THE EXITING STORMS. AT THIS TIME SUSTAINED
WIND SPEEDS OF 30 MPH WITH GUSTS ABOVE 40 MPH ARE LIKELY FROM MID-
MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS SUNDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT IN AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF
INTERSTATE 35.
