Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 618 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 427 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016 Overnight convection has weakened in the predawn hours after the airmass has stabilized substantially. Moderate to heavy rain will continue through the early morning as the line of storms makes steady progress to the east. Water vapor imagery shows the upper low positioned across southwest Kansas as of Wednesday morning. This will continue to spin to the northeast and center over southeast Nebraska by the mid afternoon. Storms generated overnight will begin to lift into northeast Missouri through the mid to late morning and the majority of this activity should clear the area by the early afternoon. Cloud cover should then begin to clear enough to destabilize by the mid afternoon ahead of the attendant cold front of the surface low stacked underneath the upper low across southeast Nebraska. Areas most favorable for convection early on include northern Missouri and areas west of the I-35 corridor. If modest instability does develop as expected, bulk shear values of plus 40 kts will once again support strong to severe storms through the afternoon. While the environment will not be as conducive for widespread severe weather as Tuesday, large hail and damaging winds are possible. The other concern is the potential for flash flooding with the significant rainfall totals from Tuesday. Areas south of the Kansas City metro should be influenced by a dry slot working its way to the northeast ahead of the cold front. By the late afternoon, the cold front will sweep across western Missouri with convection along the frontal boundary possible for areas north of the Kansas City metro. This activity will continue through much of the evening hours before finally lifting into north Missouri after midnight. Rain- cooled air and existing cloud clover should keep afternoon highs on Wednesday in the upper 60s for areas north of I-70 with temperatures approaching the mid 70s for points south. Will see a break in the activity beginning Thursday with mid level ridging expected to develop ahead of another deepening trough over the southwestern CONUS. A cooler air mass will advect into the region behind the cold front Wednesday, with slightly cooler than normal temperatures persisting through the late week and into the weekend, particularly for northern Missouri. The aforementioned southwestern low will then swing northeast into the Central Plains by Friday, bringing about the next chance for thunderstorms by Friday afternoon/evening. Saturday looks to be the most active as a surface warm front lifts into the region. At this time, cannot rule out the potential for severe weather, though the more likely area remains to the south. The active pattern will then continue into next week with numerous features entering the area. Flood impacts will need to be closely monitored as these events unfold. && .Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday Morning) Issued at 613 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016 VFR conditions are expected through the morning hours behind a dissipating band of precipitation heading toward the east. Afternoon thunderstorms are possible ahead of a cold front approaching from eastern Kansas. These should remain relatively isolated for the terminal sites, with perhaps more widespread development near KSTJ. Ceilings should remain VFR during this time, though may periodically decrease to MVFR within the stronger storms. Once these exit the area in the late afternoon, conditions will improve with stratus likely scattering out through the evening hours. Southerly winds will gradually veer and become southwesterly behind the frontal boundary. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KS...None. MO...None. && Discussion...Welsh Aviation...Welsh
