AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
630 AM CDT Mon Mar 26 2018

.Discussion...
Issued at 338 AM CDT MON MAR 26 2018

Satellite imagery highlights a large trough digging into the Great
Basin this morning, with the resulting southwest flow across the
southern and central Plains readily evident on water vapor. At the
surface a lee side low is noted over the Texas panhandle with a warm
front stretching east through Oklahoma. Also of note, radar started
to pick up developing storms across central and north central
Missouri early this morning in response to the elevated front that
the southwest flow is pushing across region. However, the main show,
with widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms, will wait till
closer to dawn to develop as that's when the main forcing will kick
in as a shortwave trough peels away from the northern side of the
large trough in the Great Basin; with the resulting low level jet
across Oklahoma into Missouri providing much of the needed lift to
help fuel the first round of today's storms.

For Today...storm activity is starting near Wichita this morning
with the help of the developing low level jet and resulting moisture
transport. The storms are elevated in nature, but are tapping into a
fair amount of instability as early morning analysis shows the
storms developing in an area with MUCAPE values in the 1000 to 1500
J/KG range, which is on the leading edge of the great-than-one-inch
precipitable water value that are moving north across the southern
Plains. With 0-6KM shear values in the 40 knot range, this likely
means that the thunderstorms that arrive this morning, while
elevated, will be a bit feisty with lightning, periods of heavy
rain, and small to  marginally severe hail sized hail possible. This
first round of storms will likely be focused across eastern and far
northwest Missouri, on the nose of the low level jet. Much of the
morning activity will likely lift north, with scattered showers
persisting through the afternoon hours across the region as warm air
and moisture advection persist. This will bring a warm front north
into east central Kansas and central Missouri by this afternoon,
with highs peaking above 60 in areas south of Highway 50.

For tonight into Tuesday...expect a surface wave to start moving
north toward the base of the trough shifting across the northern
Plains; this will help define the cold front as the trough moves
through overnight, reinvigorating storms moving northeast into
southern and central Missouri. This will bring torrential rains to
areas up and down the I-44 corridor across southern and eastern
Missouri. There will likely be a decent gradient in precipitation
values, but we still might pick up an additional inch of rain in
areas south of the Missouri River tonight, potentially leading to
flooding on area creeks, streams, and rivers. Expect storms to
persist into Tuesday across southern and eastern Missouri, with
more scattered shower like activity for our section of central and
western Missouri.

Rest of the work week...will see temperatures bounce around normal
as the axis of the Great Basin trough shifts east. This will also
bring a return of precipitation Thursday into Friday and maybe
again over the weekend.

.Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning)
Issued at 630 AM CDT MON MAR 26 2018

A line of stormy activity fired up in Kansas early this morning,
arriving at the state line terminals around 11Z. Storms will
continue to move northeast, with some low clouds and showers
remaining possible through the morning hours. Expect a bit of
break from the storms this afternoon, but we might get more
showers this evening as a cold front presses into the region. The
front will finally shift the winds to the north late tonight,
which is also expected to help start lifting CIGs as the boundary
layer starts drying out.
