AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
1230 PM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

.Discussion...
Issued at 415 AM CDT TUE AUG 20 2019

Satellite and radar imagery this morning show a subtle shortwave
trough zipping east across the northern Plains, with storms
developing in Iowa on the nose of the nocturnal jet; much like every
other night for the past several. CAMs are struggling with the early
morning convection, with the operational models looking to have the
better handle on the storm solutions. That said, expectations are
that the activity in Iowa will congeal through the early morning
hours, with an organized cold pool pushing stormy activity southeast
from Iowa across north central and eastern Missouri this morning.
However, if the cold pool does not get organized, then storms will
likely stay north of the Missouri border, which will need
monitoring owing to how that would effect temperatures later
today. Otherwise, some of the early morning storms may be a bit
strong, with gusty winds and torrential rain owing to the strong
instability aloft. Any storms that wander south will take the edge
off the heat across areas from north central to central Missouri
this morning, but there is enough time in the day for temperatures
to recover; so expect a hot and steamy afternoon either way, and
thus will leave the Heat Advisory as is.

For tonight into Wednesday morning...we will be watching as a more
significant trough axis swings into the northern Plains. This will
have the duel effect of focusing tonight's nocturnal jet across
southern Nebraska and Iowa, while also inducing a more meridional
flow across the northern Plains. Expect the nocturnal jet to spark
storms across southern Nebraska and Iowa early Wednesday morning,
spreading southeast as the cold pool develops and interacts with
the nocturnal jet. This will also likely result in a weak frontal
boundary, and/or effective front from the storms cold pool, laying
out across northern Missouri on the southern edge of a surface
high that will be rolling across the northern Plains in response
to the more meridional flow. Expect much of this activity to stay
north of the Missouri border till almost sunrise Wednesday
morning. What storms do make it into northern Missouri will
likely include a decent chance of large hail, damaging winds, and
torrential rain.

Rest of Wednesday...will see the potential for storms to hang around
as a whatever-kind-of-boundary wallows across northern Missouri. As
a result, many models advertise ongoing showers and thunderstorms
through the day Wednesday; but forecast thoughts are that models are
over doing the precipitation potential during the day, converting
what is likely going to be cloud cover into storms. Better chance
for storms looks to arrive Wednesday night into Thursday morning as
the nocturnal jet, on the south side of the trough axis swinging
into the northern Plains, focusing across eastern Kansas and
western Missouri. Will need to keep an eye out for late night
severe potential as these storms will have plenty of instability
to pull form aloft, and might have some organizing shear around
any weak boundaries.

For the rest of the work week, of note will be the cooler
temperatures that will prevail staring Wednesday, with many
locations across northern Missouri likely to see afternoon highs
stay in the 70s Thursday through Saturday. There will be a small
ongoing chance for more storms, but next widespread chance for
storms does not return until next work week.

.Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT TUE AUG 20 2019

Convection is the main concern for this TAF period, with a line of
storms hanging on along HWY 36. This is expected to slowly move
southeast/dissipate as the afternoon goes on. So far, visibility
has remained above 6 SM with ceilings still VFR. As of now, VFR
conditions are expected to remain for this TAF period. Things
should quiet down by the evening with clouds thinning out. Then
another round of convection is expected early Wednesday morning,
with the nose of the LLJ further west than this morning, making
northwest MO and northeast KS the initial target area. There is still
some uncertainty where exactly convection will initiate, but
right now expect convection will be in the vicinity of STJ before
sunrise and then the KC metro terminals after sunrise. Storm
chances are expected to then continue throughout the day tomorrow.
