AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
303 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2015

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 303 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015

Surface analysis and satellite imagery show the surface low moving
into southeastern Kansas. A warm front is evident from the surface
low into far southern Linn County, KS to Bates County, MO and just
south of Clinton, MO. This warm front, and points just north of it,
is the main area of concern for severe weather in our area as the
strong upper shortwave trough approaches the area. This wave will
provide ample forcing for ascent and an increase in convection is
expected between 20Z and 22Z. Storms that form near, or are able to
tap into the backed surface winds along the warm front may have a
bit greater threat of tornadoes. Otherwise, steep mid-level lapse
rates, approaching 9C, in the presence of strong shear, 50 to 60 kts
0-6km, will lead to a large hail threat. The main limiting factor
will be just how unstable the atmosphere may get and how far north
any instability may build. Forecast sounding as well as instability
plots suggest we may build up to about 1000 J/kg of elevated CAPE
in our far southern forecast area. This will be supportive of large
hail across our far southern area. Damaging winds may also be a
concern given the strong wind fields associated with this system.

Convection should rapidly move eastward through late afternoon &
evening hours with the threat of severe weather diminishing
substantially in the 00Z to 03Z time frame. The surface low and
associated cold front should be well east of the forecast area by
that time. So our window of opportunity for severe storms will be
fairly short and confined to mainly our far southern counties.

Wednesday & Thursday:

Models continue to indicate a good chance for precipitation Wednesday
and Wednesday night. However, they have trended further south and
any precipitation we'll see should be in a post frontal environment.
As such, instability will be very low and the resultant threat of
any severe weather is likewise, very low. But decent ascent ahead of
positively tilted trough and strong frontogenesis should allow for an
increase in precipitation during the afternoon and overnight hours.
So have increased PoPs but also pushed any thunder mention to the
south of the forecast area. Any lingering lgt shwr activity should
come to an end by sunrise Thursday with dry and cool conditions
expected through the remainder of the day. With cold air advection
dominating through the day...high temps will only range from the
upper 40s to low 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015

Well below normal conditions expected at the start of the period as
Canadian high pressure will dominate the weather pattern. Quick
disturbance dropping south in northwest flow aloft may lead to a
RA/SN mix early Saturday morning with activity quickly coming to an
end shortly after sunrise. After a relatively cool Saturday (upper
40s to low 50s)...warm air advection will get underway early Sunday
morning as disturbance well to our north lifts a weak warm front
through the area. Meanwhile...shwr coverage may increase later in
the day across our eastern zones out ahead of a cold front which is
expected to pass across the region through the day. Meanwhile...much
of the area will briefly edge into the warm sector prior to the cold
front which should allow temps to warm into the lower to middle 60s
on Sunday. Models begin to diverge heading into the beginning stages
of next week as disagreements exist on track/position of a southern
stream upper disturbance. From this vantage point...a period of
unsettled weather may be in store for portions of the area heading
into early to middle next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1214 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015

Afternoon rain showers with nearby convective activity expected
along a frontal boundary which will push through around 22Z. The
associated precip should move through fairly quickly, though IFR
ceilings will have an impact prior to the frontal passage. Areas
most favorable for thunderstorm development remain to the south of
the terminals, though an isolated thunderstorm over the area cannot
be ruled out. After the activity moves eastward, will see clearing
sky conditions until mid-level clouds on the back side of the system
cross over Wednesday morning. Also, MVFR fog development overnight is
possible with a moist surface in place, coupled with clearing sky
conditions.
