AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
1100 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2013

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 326 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Tonight...Surface observations and virtual temperature plots depict
a near stationary frontal boundary over southeast Kansas into
southwest Missouri. This boundary has been the focus for multi-day
episodes of convection, and recently new convection has developed
just south of the CWA in the vicinity of this boundary.
Additionally, a small complex of thunderstorms has initiated over
northwest Kansas over the past hour. The latest convective-resolving
and operational models suggest a similar scenario with taking
afternoon/early evening convection over western Kansas
east-southeastward towards the stalled frontal boundary. Additional
convection should develop ahead of this activity along and north of
the front as a strengthening 30kt low-level jet develops
perpendicular to the boundary. The end result for this evening and
overnight setup will be highest rain chances along/south of
Interstate 70, with a sharp decrease in precipitation probabilities
further north over northern Missouri. The track of the highest
spatial coverage of precipitation should be similar to previous
events minus the potential for a little northward shift, with
central/southern sections of the forecast area receiving some of the
highest rain accumulations.

Tuesday/Tuesday night...Specific evolution to potential convection
remains uncertain by Tuesday. A departing complex of showers and
thunderstorms may be ongoing over parts of the forecast area by
sunrise. The highest probability will exist over central Missouri.
Thereafter, there may be a lull in convection over much of the CWA,
outside of the southern sections closest to the frontal boundary.
Models hint at this boundary gradually moving northward during the
day, with increasing moisture and a low-level focus for convection.
By late Tuesday night, a cold front is expected to drop southward
out of Nebraska and Iowa. Scattered to numerous convection is
anticipated to develop north of the forecast area and slide
southward towards the CWA. With the old frontal boundary near/over
portions of the CWA and the approach of a strong upper wave moving
through the Northern/Central Plains, probabilities for precipitation
should increase during the nighttime hours Tuesday night.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 326 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

The upper-level flow may become a little more zonal by Thursday into
Friday as a deeper trough moves across the Great Lakes and Ontario.
This troughing will allow for a noticeably drier airmass for the later
half of the work week. Unfortunately, with the front stalling just
to our south, we'll continue to see precipitation chances. The best
chances look to be from Wednesday night/Thursday morning, as the
initial front moves through, and continue into Friday, as the front
stalls and weak impulses travel along. This really is like a broken
record where there seems to be legitimate chances for much needed
rainfall. Unfortunately we've missed out on much of it. So for now
have just kept chance POPs going, lowering the consensus likely
POPs. Another front will push through the region this weekend which
will help temperatures close to or below normal through the remainder of
the extended forecast. But again, with the front laying to our south
there will continue to be some chances for precipitation. The better
chances will remain across the southern third of the forecast area
so the dryness northern Missouri has experienced seems more likely
to continue.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday Night)
Issued at 1045 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Cluster of storms across southeast Kansas will continue to move east
southeast through the overnight hours. Bulk of the activity should
pass south of Kansas City, so only include VCTS in the KC terminals
for the early morning hours. Otherwise, thoughts are that ceilings
will stay in the VFR range unless a thunderstorm directly effects a
terminal, which will have to be handled with an amendment.
Otherwise, expect winds to back around to the south by the early
afternoon hours.
