Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 12:23 AM CDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1223 AM CDT WED SEP 14 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 336 PM CDT TUE SEP 13 2016 Areas of moderate to heavy rain have lingered across the area through the morning and afternoon generally in response to a surface boundary that is currently located across southern Nebraska and northern Missouri. Some weak, but steady isentropic upglide over the surface boundary has helped keep showers and thunderstorms going through the afternoon hours, and ultimately into the evening hours. By the overnight hours isentropic ascent, mainly along the 295K through 305K Theta E surfaces will contribute to more rain across the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Instability across areas south of ongoing convection has increased through the day to reach around 2000 J/kg of MLCAPE. Effective bulk shear has approached 30 to 40 kts. So while widespread severe weather is not expected at this time, there could be a strong storm or two, especially where the better environment exists south of the ongoing convection. Areas generally along and north of I-70 would be the areas most likely to see overnight showers, however areas along and south of I-70 may not be completely shut out from overnight rain. By Wednesday mid morning to early afternoon a surface ridge will pass well to the north of the area, but its southern periphery will nose into central Missouri, which will effectively cut off precipitation chances through the second half of Wednesday. Once the surface ridge moves east of the area on Thursday, southerly return flow will bring warm/moist air back into western and central Missouri, along with eastern Kansas. As the warm front lifts north, putting the area in the warm/moist sector southwest flow aloft associated with a shortwave trough will provide ascent, which will ultimately lead to periods of rain across the area through Friday night. Another surface ridge will nose into the area for Saturday, which will relegate most of the precipitation into southern Missouri, perhaps as far north as I-70. Otherwise, areas along and north of I-70 should see a pleasant weekend, with dry conditions. By early next week the pattern looks to reset again, with southerly warm/moist surface flow behind the departing surface ridge, and southwesterly flow aloft. Expect more of a wet pattern through at least the middle part of next week. && .Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday Night) Issued at 1223 AM CDT WED SEP 14 2016 A large area of convection will continue across the northern third of MO through the pre-dawn hours. Ceilings will run generally VFR with embedded MVFR ceilings with the stronger thunderstorms. The convection will likely taper to scattered showers and isolated storms after 09z with the precipitation gradually sagging south towards the MO River. Areas generally south of the MO should stay mostly dry with VFR ceilings till the pre-dawn hours. After 09z am expecting MVFR visibilities with IFR ceilings to form and last into mid morning. There will likely be areas of drizzle as well through mid morning. An extensive low-level cloud shield should remain in place over the entire region from mid morning through the rest of the period with ceilings gradually improving to MVFR by very early afternoon. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
