Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 4:05 PM CDT, 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 405 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019 .Discussion... Issued at 358 PM CDT SAT JUN 1 2019 Early afternoon surface observations show cold front is slowly sagging southward across the forecast area with a weak pre-frontal surface trough generally extending from northeast Missouri to the KC metro and then westward across Kansas. This front will be the primary focus for convective initiation this afternoon and several storms have already popped up across east-central Kansas and northeast Missouri. Satellite imagery and personal observations note that a scattered cu field in between these two areas ahead of the front. Several storms should develop in between these two areas over the next few hours as convective temperatures in the mid 80s have already been reached and have eroded the cap. Modest CAPE values of 2500-3500 J/kg will allow for strong updrafts with any storm that develops this afternoon allowing for large hail. In addition, steep lapse rates and an inverted-v sounding will allow for strong, damaging winds. Modeled hodographs depict more of a straight-line hodograph indicating that several of these storms could split into right and left movers. The lack of a strongly veering wind profile with height due to light southwesterly flow at the surface and generally westerly to west-northwesterly flow in the upper levels supports the straight hodographs. Despite strong directional shear, sufficient speed shear combined with modest instability will allow storms to quickly organize. While the overall tornado threat remains relatively low this afternoon it is not nil. These storms will gradually push eastward with time and we should see activity weaken with the loss of daytime heating. Quiet weather returns Sunday and Monday with high pressure building in behind the front. Temperatures will fairly pleasant with high topping out in the 70s and a few locations may reach 80 degrees. The next chance for convection looks to arrive overnight Monday into Tuesday morning as convection off the higher terrain to the west translates eastward...running the periphery of the ridge. Thunderstorm chances look to continue each day through the remainder of the upcoming work week. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1248 PM CDT SAT JUN 1 2019 VFR conditions are expected to prevail through much of the period. Some convection will be possible between 22-01Z along a cold front pushing through the terminals...however...initiation may hold off until south of the terminals. If storms do initiate near the terminals, they will be capable of brief heavy rain, strong winds, and large hail. Otherwise, light southwesterly winds will veer to northwesterly then northeasterly by late in the period. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
