AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
351 PM CDT Tue May 28 2013

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 349 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

Tonight...A moderately unstable airmass in addition to moderate
effective bulk shear will provide an environment favorable for strong
to severe weather this afternoon through early tonight.
Thunderstorms have developed primarily in two areas. Area #1 is
within the warm sector driven by an approaching shortwave trough.
Area #2 is along the synoptic stationary front and remnant outflow
boundary. Currently, the environment is slightly more conducive to
severe weather north of Interstate 70. Anticipate additional storms
to develop across the CWA and over eastern Kansas during the
remainder of the afternoon and evening. A tornado watch remains in
effect until 10pm CDT. Additionally, any persistent moderate to heavy
rainfall may further aggravate ongoing flooding. Multiple rivers are
currently in or forecast in flood, and with saturated grounds, the
potential for flash flooding is also possible.

Wednesday...A negatively-tilted upper trough ejects into the Plains
on Wednesday, with much of the flow becoming meridional. At the
surface, a dryline will be located over western Kansas, acting as a
primary mechanism for convective initiation. Much of this activity
will remain west of the CWA throughout the day, resulting in many
areas remaining dry. Strong upper forcing will lead to scattered to
numerous thunderstorms over western and central Kansas. The overall
convective evolution remains uncertain, and likewise specific
details to timing and intensity are not well resolved at this time.
What activity that does develop out west will work its way eastward
overnight into portions of the CWA, maintained in part by a strong
50-60kt nocturnal LLJ. Assuming the environment remains sufficiently
unstable as operational models suggest, isolated strong/severe
weather will be possible over eastern Kansas and western Missouri
overnight, with strong straight-line winds the primary hazard.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 349 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

Thursday through Tuesday...Forecast uncertainty increases by
Thursday into Saturday as the overall evolution of the upper trough
is handled differently among operational guidance. The locations of
the dryline/cold front make gradual progression eastward during the
end of the work week. Therefore forecast on Thursday follows the
most probable scenario for convection to initially develop near or
just outside of the CWA in closer proximity to the surface foci and
gradually move towards the area during the evening/overnight.
Probabilities for convection will increase Friday as the cold front
nears the region. Moderate shear and sufficient instability,
assuming the boundary layer can recover from any nocturnal
convection, still look to be juxtaposed ahead of the cold front,
suggesting the possibility of organized storm modes and subsequent
strong/severe weather threat. The cold front pushes through the CWA
on late Saturday or early Sunday, with dry weather expected Sunday
into Tuesday as high pressure builds into the Missouri Valley.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

MVFR stratus with bases above 2,000 ft will continue to spread
northeast across the region this afternoon, before lifting above
3,000 ft later this afternoon. A thunderstorms is currently tracking
toward the MCI/MKC TAF sites and will likely impact these areas
between 18z-20z, then scattered convection will spread across the
region after 21z. Most precipitation should lift north of the region
between 02-05z, leaving behind low-end VFR to MVFR ceilings.

240 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A STATIONARY FRONT...COUPLED WITH SEVERAL REMNANT BOUNDARIES FROM
OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS...WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING. A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND STRONG WIND SHEAR
WILL ALLOW SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE. LARGE HAIL APPEARS TO BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER HAZARD...ALONG WITH STRAIGHT-LINE WIND DAMAGE
AND A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE. ADDITIONALLY...STORMS MAY REPEATEDLY
TRACK ACROSS THE SAME AREAS THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS...PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL OVER LOCATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY
RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL SINCE MONDAY MORNING. A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE REGION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY AS A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS INTERACTS WITH A
NEAR STATIONARY FRONT. SEVERAL PERIODS OF STRONG OR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME...BUT THE PRIMARY
CONCERN WILL BE A PERSISTENT HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT. SEVERAL
ADDITIONAL INCHES OF RAINFALL ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE MIDDLE TO LATE
WEEK PERIOD WHICH MAY LEAD TO WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE REGION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED AFTER 3 PM.
