Area forecast discussion, Oct 20, 6:19 PM CDT, 4 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 619 PM CDT Sun Oct 20 2019 .Discussion... Issued at 209 PM CDT SUN OCT 20 2019 Forecast focus is for potential of strong to severe thunderstorms tonight, and gusty winds on Monday. For the rest of today clouds and winds will increase ahead of deepening upper level trough to the west. Winds will stay in the 15- 30 mph range through sunset. Cold front will move into the western counties and KC Metro area this evening through about midnight expect showers and thunderstorms to develop west of area this afternoon and move into far western counties between 7 and 8 pm and affecting the KC Metro area between roughly 8 pm and midnight and then heading east overnight and will be east of the area by the early morning hours. Some thunderstorms could be strong to severe due to decent mid level lapse rates, deep layer shear of 50-60 knots and even some helicity due to low level winds from southeast. However due to limited moisture with dewpoints in mid to upper 50s and PW's near an inch and CAPE below 1000 most storms will stay below severe limits. Any storms that do become strong to severe could contain hail up to the size of quarters and half dollars and wind gusts of 50-60 mph. The best chance for severe storms will be south of the I-70 corridor where slightly better instability will exist. Monday and Tuesday strong westerly and northwesterly flow develops behind front as pressure gradient and cold air advection mixes wind to the surface. Gusts of 25-35 mph likely with gusts to 40 mph possible in some areas, but do not expect advisory level winds. Otherwise just a tad bit cooler Monday and Tuesday to start the work week with highs in upper 50s to near 60 and lows in 40s. Another deepening trough to the west on Thursday will bring increasing chances of rain as a frontal system moves across the area. Its shaping up to be a cool rainy day on Thursday with highs in the 40s. Finally, Friday looks chilly with lows near freezing. Still some uncertainty with the evolution of this system on Thursday and Friday due to large model differences, stay tuned... && .Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening) Issued at 617 PM CDT SUN OCT 20 2019 The main threat for aviation tonight will be a line of showers and thunderstorms that will push through the KS/MO border area between 3-6Z. This line does look to be continuous from north to south so there will not be many breaks as it pushes through. There is a lower end chance of some stronger winds as it pushes through, but went with 25kts for now. Winds will shift from SE to W quickly as the front passes and as we heat up tomorrow gust up to 30kts will be possible until sunset. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
