AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 704 PM CDT WED JUL 8 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 353 PM CDT WED JUL 8 2015 Well, for early July this happens to be one cool wet day. Moisture feed from the Gulf, in combination with a little shortwave trough, helped generate a considerable amount of light and moderate rain across Missouri today. Surface low associated with the trough is working northeast through central Missouri and is taking the focus for the rain with it. Scattered showers are noted father to the west, but widespread activity with any significant accumulations looks to be ending for today as the trough exits. As a bit of a side note, it looks like we will be breaking the record low high temperature for today's date in Kansas City thanks to the rain and cloud cover. The old record low high temperature value for today, July 8th, is 70 degrees from the year 1891. The lowest record low high temperature for the entire month of July is 64 degrees, which occurred July 6th 1979. Currently, the all time record is safe as Kansas City scratched out a high of 66 degrees at 1 AM this morning. I spy with my little eye a midnight high, provided we don't warm above 65 degrees this afternoon. For Tonight and Friday...with the exiting of today's weather system accumulating rain will quickly leave the region with only a spit or sprinkle possible through the evening hours. However, this slight reprieve from precipitation wont last long as enough trough is exiting the Desert Southwest, and will likely bring more storms to eastern Kansas and Missouri Thursday. Rain chance will slowly increase through the day, but best chances for more storms looks to arrive Thursday night as the low level jet gets going and starts interacting with a warm front that will lift north through the region that night. Shear and instability with the Thursday activity looks insufficient for severe weather, though flooding might be a problem again with perceptible water values ranging around 2 inches. With the warm front lifting north Thursday night expect temperatures Friday to be back to a more normal July level, with highs back in the hot and humid 80s. Additionally for Friday, there will be a lingering chance for storms through the day as the overnight activity lifts north and another weak trough zips across the Plains Friday afternoon and night. For the weekend and into next work week...it will feel more like a normal summer. Broadly speaking, as a cutoff low over the east Pacific fills and gets absorbed into the mean flow a decent ridge will work its way east into the Plains States. With this will come a fair amount of hot and humid air, pushing highs into the 90s and heat index values to around 100 degrees. Currently, the worst day looks to be Monday; but Saturday, Sunday and Monday cold all be sweltering. However, the ridge should push the focus for storm activity to our north through the weekend and into Monday, but there is still some potential for storms Saturday night as activity roles off the High Plains possibly clipping northern Missouri both Saturday and Sunday night. Otherwise, as we transit Monday models advertise a combination of shortwave troughs forcing the storm track back to the south for late Monday and Tuesday. This should take the edge off the heat for Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday Evening) Issued at 645 PM CDT WED JUL 8 2015 Areas of light rain or drizzle still possible at the terminals this evening as upper low moves eastward and weak surface high pressure builds in. Mid and upper level clouds may become scattered, but MVFR and IFR cloud decks are expected overnight with the potential for fog to develop given abundant low level moisture in place. Low clouds will begin to scatter out by 13-15Z tomorrow morning with winds becoming southeasterly. && .CLIMATE... It looks like we will be breaking the record low high temperature for today's date in Kansas City (KMCI) thanks to the rain and cloud cover. The old record low high temperature for today, July 8th, is 70 degrees from the year 1891. The lowest record low high temperature for the entire month of July is 64 degrees, which occurred July 6th 1979. Currently, the all time record is safe as Kansas City scratched out a high of 66 degrees at 1 AM this morning. I spy with my little eye a midnight high, provided we don't warm above 65 degrees this afternoon. But, it does appear at this time that we will break the old record low high temperature for this date. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
