.Discussion...
Issued at 1244 AM CDT SAT JUN 27 2020

This AFD will mainly focus through the next 24 hours. As of midnight
things have played out somewhat as expected up to this point. Storms
have initiated along a warm front from central KS up into the MO/IA
border. The warm frontal effects and isentropic accent weaken
towards north central MO where it becomes more of a stationary
boundary into a cold front by eastern MO. The majority of the storms
appear to be elevated in nature, except for the storms west of
Topeka diving south. Radar trends show that storms over northwest MO
and eastern KS appear to be backward propagating, which matches up
well with RAP MBE vectors of 5-10kts to the S-SW. MUCAPE falls off
quickly from 3000+ J/kg to 1500 J/kg as you go east from KS into
central MO. This may have have an impact on the severe potential
decreasing on the MO side and increasing on the KS side for the next
1-2 hours. This will likely change as the LLJ ramps up in eastern KS
and a mid level shortwave help to advect this higher MUCAPE into
western MO allowing for more energy for the forming MCS along the
Missouri River valley.

The main threats through the next 1-3 hours will be elevated large
hail, isolated pockets of strong to damaging winds with downbursts,
and flash flooding. The backbuilding nature of this feature and the
rather persistent LLJ may force this more from a severe weather
event to a flooding event. PWAT values are near 1.9" and we've seen
1.5-1.75"/hr rain rates with over 2.5" in the last 2-3 hour in
Atchison County MO. The continual rebuilding and training over that
region looks to occur for at least another 2-3 hours which will
likely result in flash and areal flooding. A cold pool will likely
develop between 1-2AM CDT resulting in a southern push of this MCS
down towards the KC Metro. Strong convergence from the LLJ along
this cold pool along with increased MUCAPE may shift the gears back
towards the severe weather over flooding. A wind threat will likely
develop along the outflow as it reaches the KC Metro and central MO
by 3-4AM CDT. To complicate things even more, a forward propagating
MCS is moving across eastern KS now and most CAM solutions have it
reaching our area by 5-6AM CDT. How this feature will interact with
our current MCS is not completely known, but most the time boundary
interactions don't weaken the impacts. The main boundary
interactions look to occur just south of the KC metro and will add a
possible threat to a quick mesovortices or two forming up around
sunrise. This may also allow a surge from the east moving MCS and
could enhance the wind threat in our southern area into central MO.

The severe threat will diminish and move east by mid morning only to
see another around of convection develop over eastern KS due to an
incoming shortwave trough. There is not a consensus on how this will
play out looking at CAM guidance, but if that lift from the shortwave
can cool the mid levels then around 2-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE may be
realized with increasing effective shear of 20-30kts. This may
develop another round of strong to severe storms over western MO
that will track into central Missouri by the early afternoon. These
storms main threat would be large hail and damaging winds, with the
possibility of of an isolated supercell over central MO which would
increase the hail threat. As this shortwave pushes east and this
threat ends the warm front over central KS will start to advect to
the north which may help develop elevated convection once again
along and north of the boundary. MUCAPE will be 3000+ J/kg with 30-
35kt of effective shear so this could create a elevated supercell
threat with large hail. Any heavy rain in that NW MO region could
result in flooding from a saturated ground with all the rain this
morning. This feature pushes north by Sunday morning leaving the
area finally threat free for a little bit.

.Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night)
Issued at 1110 PM CDT FRI JUN 26 2020

VFR conditions will persist until thunderstorms settles south
through the early morning hours of Saturday. Storms will then
plague the terminals through the early morning hours. Confidence
after that is low as storms may persist on-and-off through the day
Saturday, with generally a southerly wind prevailing.
