Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
643 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2016
.Discussion...
Issued at 352 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2016
Weak surface trough currently over northern Missouri drawing
southerly winds across the eastern half of the CWA, with northerly
winds nosing into northwestern Missouri along the leading edge of a
surface ridge. Expect cooler and drier air to move into the area
behind this cold front. Already there have been a few marginally
strong storms forming within a fairly juicy atmosphere characterized
by temperatures in the 80s and dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower
70s. The resultant instability appears to be in the 1500 to 2500
J/kg MLCAPE range. Within the ambient northwest flow aloft there
will be a shortwave trough digging into the area through the
evening. This will help to supply some mid level support for ascent
over this aforementioned charged up atmosphere. Effective bulk shear
values of around 30 to 40 kts, especially in northern and central
Missouri could help aid in updraft maintenance, bringing a chance
for organized and possibly severe thunderstorms. Hail and wind are
the primary concerns considering the lack of low level flow at the
surface. By later tonight the frontal boundary should be south and
west of the forecast area, lending to mostly dry conditions through
the day on Friday. The best and likely only chance for rain will be
across southeastern/east central Kansas and southwestern/west
central Missouri, but overall it appears rain will be mostly located
across southern Kansas for Friday.
That frontal boundary will then lift northward on Friday night and
Saturday morning in response to a shortwave trough working its way
into the flow from the Pacific southwest. As the trough works
through the 4-corners region it will help lift that boundary north.
Supplemented with moisture on the order of 2+ inches of precipitable
water ingredients will be in place for a fairly prolonged moderate
to heavy rain event across the area. The boundary itself will likely
wobble a bit to the north and south through the weekend, but will
likely remain between HWY 36 and Interstate 44. As the trough slowly
meanders out of the mountainous southwest and into the high/central
plains it will generally trek along the boundary, which will cause
widespread moderate to heavy rain. With mid level flow favoring a
direction generally along and/or parallel to the boundary storms
will continue to form and train over the same area through Saturday
and most of Sunday. The result of the high moisture as well as the
mesoscale factors of the low level focus for storms will likely be a
widespread area of 3 to 6 inch rain amounts with perhaps some
localized areas of larger amounts. Confidence is growing to a medium
to high level that this prolonged moderate to heavy rain will occur
generally along the I-70/Missouri River corridor plus or minus 50
miles either side (north or south) of that corridor. With a decent
amount of confidence in river and stream flooding as well as some
flash flooding from rain rates approaching 2+ inches per hour for
periods of time have continue the Flash Flood Watch through Sunday
night, and have added 3 counties to the watch, namely Linn (KS),
Bates, and Henry. By Sunday night the trough should be off to the
east and out of the area, thus gradually ending chances for rain
from west to east.
For the 4th of July holiday the boundary should be south of the
area, and some shortwave ridging will take place over the forecast
area, which should minimize chance for rain for Independence day.
The next system could bring some rain back to the area Tuesday night
into Wednesday.

Thunderstorms in the area currently show no immediate threat of
directly impacting MCI, MKC, and IXD; however, a small cluster is
headed toward STJ as of this writing. That said, have introduced a
TEMPO line to account for the terminal likely seeing a drop in visbys
due to moderate to potentially heavy rainfall with these
thunderstorms. Once the sun sets this evening, storm chances diminish
and VFR conditions are expected to prevail at all four terminals.
A wind shift has/is in the process of occurring at the terminals as a
boundary moves through the area. Northerly winds will dominate
tonight, becoming more easterly tomorrow.
