AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
627 AM CDT Wed Oct 30 2013

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 241 AM CDT WED OCT 30 2013

Several forecast challenges exist over the next 30 hours, primarily
ongoing dense fog, precipitation amounts and timing, and the
potential for severe weather.

As of this morning, a surface warm front was slowly moving
northward, currently situated just north of I-70. To the north of
this boundary, areas of dense fog continue to persist with
visibilities a half mile or less and very low ceilings. To the south,
conditions steadily improve with southward extent with a seasonably
warm and humid airmass advecting into the area. The pattern and
short-term model guidance supports areas of dense fog along and north
of the boundary through 14Z. Will continue to carry dense fog
advisory and remove counties from south to north as conditions
improve largely tied to the warm frontal position.

Attention turns to large upper trough beginning to emerge into the
Plains states. At the surface, a cold front currently located from
Omaha to Wichita will remain nearly stationary throughout the day in
response to pressure falls to the west. The forecast area will find
itself within the warm sector, with dewpoints steadily increasing
into the lower to middle 60s. As the nose of a 100kt upper jet
approaches the region, widespread convection is expected to develop
along the boundary and warm sector as strong large scale ascent
occurs. Convective-resolving models support synoptic scenario with
convection initially developing over eastern Kansas by mid morning
and spreading northeastward/additional development over the forecast
area. Extensive cloud cover should preclude strong boundary layer
destabilization. However, model guidance has been progressively
higher with regards to elevated instability in advance of said
mid-morning convection. Current RAP MUCAPE analysis has 500-1000
J/kg over much of the CWA. Expect similar or slightly higher MUCAPE
values to proceed initial convection. With 1-6km bulk shear values of
50kts expected, ample support for organized storms will exist. The
biggest question is whether sufficient instability will remain
available for initial activity. The highest probability for robust
convection will be across the west/southwest quarter of the CWA,
generally KC Metro and south/west, where an initial round of strong
to severe weather may be possible between 8am to 1pm. The primary
threat would be hail to quarter-size and possibility any wind gust
that can reach the surface through the near-surface stable layer.

As the upper trough begins to move further into the Plains this
afternoon and evening, the surface cold front will begin to shift
eastward into far northwestern Missouri during the late afternoon
hours. Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected as this
occurs with large scale ascent still in place and surface forcing
increases. While wind shear will be supportive of organized
convection, degree of instability is much more in question. At this
time, do not expect much severe weather unless better atmospheric
recovery can take place following earlier anticipated convection.
The highest probability for a few stronger storms should be tied to
near the boundary over the far western CWA, with a decreasing
probability with eastward extent. Regardless, widespread showers and
thunderstorms are expected over much of the area from the evening
into Thursday morning. Will continue post-frontal precipitation
chances into Thursday afternoon as the base of the trough passes
through the forecast area, prior to upper downglide. With modest
lapse rates, could still see some embedded thunder in this activity
as well.

As for additional precipitation totals now through Thursday
afternoon, another 1-2 inches of rainfall will be possible. As
mentioned above, a very moist airmass remains in place for this time
of year. Precipitable water values between 1.25-1.5 inches is
roughly two standard deviations above PW climatology, suggesting
robust convection will be efficient rainfall producers. With the
relatively quick storm speed and flash flood rainfall guidance, the
overall threat from flash flooding should be low outside of urban
centers. Will monitor river levels and subsequent response as the
event progresses.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 241 AM CDT WED OCT 30 2013

Northwest flow aloft will gradually transition to ridging across the
central CONUS this weekend, allowing for near to slightly above
normal temperatures by Sunday and dry, quiet conditions across the
region through early next week. The primary focus in the long range
forecast period will be a deepening trough over the western U.S.
early next week, which could move into the region by Tuesday.
Precipitation with this system should again spread over a fairly
long period of time with a surface boundary stretching up into the
region on Monday, warm-sector precipitation on Monday night into
Tuesday morning, and frontal precipitation possibly stretching into
early Wednesday. Currently, the most likely timeframe for rainfall
will be on Tuesday night, but changes in timing are likely as the
system draws closer.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday Morning)
Issued at 627 AM CDT WED OCT 30 2013

IFR stratus and light fog will continue across much of the region
this morning, except in far northern and northeast portions of the
region where dense fog and LIFR ceilings may continue for another
2-3 hours. Scattered showers and thunderstorms this morning will
become widespread this afternoon through tonight, impacting much of
the region especially after 18z. Ceilings are likely to remain IFR
or very low-end MVFR through the remainder of the forecast period,
even as precipitation begins to clear out from northwest to southeast
Thursday morning.
