LEIGHTONWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 16, 6:02 PM CDT, 6 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 16, 6:02 PM CDT, 6 hours 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 602 PM CDT Sat May 16 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 334 PM CDT SAT MAY 16 2015 Main focus with this forecast issuance will be the potential for strong to severe storms this afternoon through early Sunday morning. As the low-level atmosphere destabilized late this morning, a few isolated showers and thunderstorms developed in an area of broad lift, moderate instability, and very little deep layer shear. These storms have begun shifting east, and additional convective initiation over eastern KS and far western MO has thus far struggled. 18 UTC sounding out of KTOP indicates very weak midlevel lapse rates, and thus will likely need some midlevel cooling to support any robust or long-lasting convection. As a result, any convection this afternoon through much of the evening should be weak, and any severe weather threat will hold off until late evening into the early overnight hours. Synoptically, a deep upper trough will continue to push eastward during the evening and overnight hours. Ahead of the trough, deep southwest flow is present aloft and moisture continues to surge into the region at low-levels under south southeast flow. This trough will provide forcing for widespread convection west of the forecast area from late afternoon through tonight; however, ongoing showers through much of central KS has impacted the amount of instability present to fuel these storms, and could impact their severity and longevity. As the upper trough pushes east, deep-layer shear values will begin to increase in response to the backing of low-level winds and the increasing wind speeds aloft associated with the upper jet. MUCAPE values are expected to remain in the 1000-2000 J/kg range as the midlevels finally begin to cool in response to the eastward-moving trough, and a strong low-level jet may help keep the low-level atmosphere mixed during the late evening and early overnight hours. This environment should be supportive of strong to severe storms, but without a good boundary or low-level focus for convection, any severe weather chances tonight will depend on how well storms can develop and organize to our west this evening, and how well they maintain strength as they head eastward into the region. Hi-res model guidance continues to suggest some sort of bowing, multi- cellular structure as storms head into far eastern KS and western MO, but the longevity of these storms is still in question as they propagate east of the trough and into a somewhat less supportive shear and instability profile. Current thinking is that one or more bowing segments could bring severe winds into western portions of the CWA after 10 PM, but may weaken shortly thereafter. Due to the expected storm mode and timing of these storms into the area, the primary severe weather threat will be strong straight-line winds, and any other severe weather hazards are not as likely without the presence of robust, long-lived supercell structures. As storms weaken late tonight into early Sunday morning, storms will likely slow, and some additional shower/isolated storm development is possible as the low-level jet continues to pivot eastward. May need to slightly raise QPF during the 06z-12z timeframe if multiple rounds of even weak thunderstorms are expected, as current precip amounts are only reflective of dying, weak convection after 06z. Any lingering precipitation should clear out during the morning hours on Sunday, and additional storm development Sunday afternoon should occur north and east of the region as the upper low soars northward and low-level drying punches into the forecast area. Cooler temperatures will fill in Monday and especially Tuesday as surface high pressure builds into the northern Plains and northerly flow increases across our forecast area. No additional precipitation is expected Monday or most of Tuesday as dry air continues to filter down into the region from the north. However, southerly flow will begin to return by Tuesday night or Wednesday, bringing warmer temperatures, increasing moisture, and the return of thunderstorm chances for the latter half of the work week and into the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday Evening) Issued at 549 PM CDT SAT MAY 16 2015 Convection will be ongoing through the evening and overnight hours. Initially, development to the southwest of Kansas City will cross into the area. Heavy thunderstorms with gusty winds are expected with this first wave of activity, in addition to reduced visibility. A few storms will continue to develop during the evening hours, though the main line of convection will occur just after 05Z. Southerly winds will remain gusty overnight and into Sunday while turning southwesterly through the period. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
