AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
614 AM CDT Mon Jun 15 2015

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 326 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2015

A weak surface front was situated from southern Kansas through
northwest Missouri. Persistent ridging over the southeast has
allowed a steady stream of deep moisture to stream into the area
ahead of this front. This deep moisture is noted on the 00Z/15 TOP
sounding with an observed precipitable water value around 1.8" and
only modest mid-level drying sandwiched between rich low-level and
upper-level moisture. A weak upper-level system will track across
the area today and help to push the front a bit further to the
south. With such a humid/ tropical airmass in place, (precipitable
water values are 2 to 3 standard deviations above normal) any subtle
lifting mechanism will produce a shower or thunderstorm. And with
the front in the area, it's likely that there will be a greater
coverage of precipitation today and tonight than the previous few
days. Additionally, the high precipitable water/tropical airmass
will lead to extremely efficient rainfall making storms. There were
several reports from Sunday evening of over an inch of rain in less
than hour. Forecast soundings suggest precipitable water values may
be in the 2" to 2.25" range this evening. Still, the pattern is
nebulous and there isn't a great deal of confidence on a widespread
area of heavy enough rainfall for flash flooding. Rather, a
localized flash flood threat will persist through at least today and
tonight. While instability and shear will be limited, the low LCL
environment and probable outflow boundaries my result in a
limited/isolated severe risk.

High pressure will move across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest
Tuesday. This may bring a brief respite in the precipitation chances
across northern Missouri. But across the southern two-thirds of the
forecast area, the chances for scattered showers and storms will
persist with locally heavy rain remaining possible.

The focus then really shifts to potential remnant tropical system
moving northward around the southeastern upper ridge. Models vary
significantly in the timing of this system with the NAM nearly 48
hours faster than the GFS and the ECMWF. The GEM is also faster than
the GFS and ECMWF but the later two models are in pretty good
agreement. And they all depict a similar track even if the timing is
out of sync. That track is to bring it into our southern and
southeastern zones at some point later this week. This would likely
be a focus for major rainfall and potentially some severe weather.
So this system will need to be watched closely as it moves ashore
and north toward the forecast area.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning)
Issued at 607 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2015

A very moist atmosphere and weak winds will allow for MVFR to IFR
ceilings this morning. Will also see showers moving through although
these will be in the isolated to scattered range. By this afternoon,
scattered showers and storms are expected as a weak front sinks
southward into the vicinity of the terminals. Given the nature of
scattered nature to the precipitation, have kept thunder mention as
vicinity instead of prevailing. Amendments will need to be issued for
storms that may impact a terminal directly. Similar to this morning,
with high water content in the atmosphere, MVFR or IFR ceilings may
redevelop tonight.
