Severe Thunderstorm Warning 168, NWS Kansas City, MO

.Discussion...
Issued at 402 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2020

Patchy areas of elevated showers and thunderstorms have been
observed throughout the night in SE NE; however, the evolution has
not been as widespread as expected making predicting the coverage
of showers and thunderstorms difficult. IR satellite shows an
outflow boundary from thunderstorms in SE NE entering N KS. A
small LLJ nosing into E KS just ahead of the boundary and looks to
be the catalyst for convection. This boundary and any
accompanying convection makes its way into our area within the
next couple of hours.

The cold front is expected to stall out over the KC metro around
midday. The convective system traveling ahead of the front makes its
way into southern MO fueled by diurnally heated unstable air and
strong upper level divergence in that area. Resultant cold pools and
outflow from the exiting MCS may interact with the stationary
boundary triggering more precipitation during the late afternoon and
evening Monday.

Meanwhile, in the OK panhandle, a leeward mountain wave sets off
another area of precipitation which follows upper level steering
currents into our area during the day Tuesday.  Most of Tuesday
morning looks to be rainy with precipitation exiting the area during
the afternoon and evening hours. Wednesday looks to be drier;
however, some models are hinting at slight chances of rain for areas
south of the MO river during the early morning as another wave
passes by to the south of our CWA. The active weather pattern
continues for areas south of I-70 through the remainder of the week;
however, it is a welcome change to the stale baking 90 degree heat
of a couple weeks ago.

Issued at 715 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2020

Showers and thunderstorms remain in the area through the morning
into the early afternoon. Hazards include lightning, gusty winds,
heavy rain, and reduced visibilities. Storms are expected to move
out of the region near midday. Residual cloud cover from
thunderstorms remain keeping ceilings near MVFR levels. Wind
speeds will increase and shift out of the north behind the front.
Another round of showers and storms is expected to come through
overnight Monday into Tuesday morning.
