Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 6:28 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 628 PM CDT Thu Jul 13 2017 .Discussion... Issued at 316 PM CDT THU JUL 13 2017 Cold front has made it just south of a St. Joseph to Kirksville line this afternoon with a secondary outflow boundary situated very close to I-70. This latter boundary will likely serve as a focus for thunderstorm development over the next few hours, as evidenced by the agitated cumulus field quickly filling in along this corridor, but will first have to overcome a temperature inversion at 800 hPa. Most indications are that temperatures at this level will cool enough to allow convective initiation by 4 or 5 PM and allow rapid thunderstorm development close to or just north of the I-70 corridor. Shear is weak but strong instability could allow storms to quickly become strong with isolated large hail and a few bowing structures with damaging downburst winds before quickly becoming outflow dominated and transitioning to more of a heavy rain threat after a couple of hours. Precipitable water values are high and will support spotty rainfall amounts as high as 2 or 3 inches especially across areas from KC toward Sedalia this evening, although storms should begin to accelerate southward after sunset and cut back on the potential for very heavy rain. In addition, the lack of a focused low- level jet feeding into the cold front should prevent a widespread heavy rain and flooding situation like what occurred further north last night. Some storms could linger across southern parts of the forecast area Friday morning although most models are now bringing clearing conditions to most of the region by mid morning. Much more comfortable conditions will build in for Friday with highs in the lower and middle 80s. Saturday will see a slight warm up but still with lower humidity values to keep things relatively comfortable compared to the past week. The "cooler" temperatures for the end of the week will be short- lived as a deep upper ridge will build back in from the west by the beginning of next week. This will bring a return to hot and humid conditions for much of next week with highs at least in the lower or middle 90s and humidity creeping back up into uncomfortable, maybe even hazardous levels. && .Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening) Issued at 627 PM CDT THU JUL 13 2017 Surface boundary is sliding south of the KC area currently with storms struggling to maintain themselves north of the boundary. Given this, feel that only KIXD has a high enough chance for storms to mention as a TSRA group. KMKC and KMCI may see more of a stratiform rain with perhaps embedded thunder. There may be additional showers and storms develop along the elevated boundary later in the evening as it pushes south as well. But confidence isn't high regarding that as instability drops significantly north of the surface boundary. For tomorrow, VFR conditions are expected with light easterly winds. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && Discussion...Hawblitzel Aviation...CDB
