AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
404 AM CDT Wed Aug 27 2014

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 403 AM CDT WED AUG 27 2014

Challenging forecast on tap for today mainly in regards to
precipitation chances. Early this morning...a stationary front is
analyzed from Springfield, Illinois to Sedalia to south of Topeka. A
modest 20-25KT southwesterly LLJ has develop across central Kansas
and is overriding this stationary front allowing elevated convection
to develop across southwestern Iowa through extreme northwestern
Missouri and back into northern Kansas. This may allow for training
for precipitation across northwestern Missouri this morning and with
PWAT values near 1.75" precipitation may be heavy. These storm are
progged to move eastward across northern Missouri this morning. This
afternoon however, is more nebulous as some operational models
(GFS/EC) play the stationary front as the focus for afternoon
convection. However, with little convergence to speak of this
solution is not preferred. The 00Z NAM is more focused on an area of
isentropic ascent along the 310K surface sparking convection over
the KC Metro late this morning and then moving precipitation sewd
across the CWA this afternoon. Hi-res models are pointing toward
pop-up type convection this afternoon south of the boundary in the
warm sector. Also, it develops additional convection across
northwestern Missouri later this afternoon and evening in response
to better upper level support in the form of a lead shortwave
ejecting out from the main upper trough back across the Great Basin.
It is this solution that is preferred an as such have higher POPs
for today across the northern CWA to account for morning convection
and additional convective development this afternoon. Also have
slight POPs further south to depict afternoon pop-up convection.
Cloud cover and height falls later in the day especially across the
north will lead to highs in the lower 80s to the north and to the
lower 90s across the south.

Also, during the day today, the upper level trough over the Great
Basin will move eastward into the Eastern Rockies. Lee cyclogenesis
will develop across the western high Plains and a surface low will
develop and begin to move northeastward during the evening. This
will help pull the surface boundary northward across the forecast
area. Another nocturnal LLJ will develop albeit west of the area.
Thunderstorms are again progged to develop and move into the
northern portion of the CWA north of the front...so how far south
precipitation makes it will hinge much on the frontal position.
Consequently, have chance POPs across the northern CWA sloping to
slights further south.

Outside of morning convection Thursday...it appears conditions will
remain dry as the area should be firmly in the capped warm sector.
this will allow for warmer temperatures in the mid 80s to mid
90s.

Thursday night the aforementioned upper level trough moves into the
central Plains forcing a cold front into eastern Kansas. This will
allow thunderstorms to move into the western CWA Thursday night. The
front will then move slowly across the area Friday and Friday night
as the upper level trough slows and weakens as it moves into the
eastern Plains. Highs Friday will be in the 80s. The upper level
trough finally moves through on Saturday continuing thunderstorm
chances.

For the extended period...Sunday looks to be the dry day of the
holiday weekend in the wake of the upper level system. Expect highs
in the 80s. Models are in agreement that on Monday an upper level
trough will bring another round of thunderstorms to the area. Where
they are different is in the strength of the and placement of the
trough. The EC is much stronger and further north than the GFS. Both
push a cold front into the area Monday however, the EC pushes it
through the area by Tuesday night whereas the GFS which depicts a
much weaker and flatter trough stalls the front across the CWA. This
front then becomes the focus for a prolong period of precipitation.
As such have opted to keep the ALLBLEND solution which keeps chance
POPs over the area from Monday through Tuesday and slight chance
POPs into Tuesday night.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday Night)
Issued at 1157 PM CDT TUE AUG 26 2014

VFR conditions will likely prevail at the terminals over the next 24
hours. Only issue there might be storms that may develop across far
northwest Missouri early Wednesday morning. Have inserted VCTS for
the KSTJ terminal, but expectations are that activity will stay
farther north. Otherwise, expect east to southeast winds to persist
through the rest of the day.
