AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
636 PM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020

.Discussion...
Issued at 228 PM CDT THU MAR 19 2020

The forecast focus is for isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and
evening with severe thunderstorms possible especially north of
Highway 36. Gusty winds tonight and colder temperatures through the
weekend.

Key Messages...

1. Severe weather threat this afternoon/evening, with supercells
possible with hail, strong winds, and a brief tornado possible. Best
chances are north of the Metro across northwest and northern
Missouri mainly north of Highway 36.

3. Strong winds behind cold front tonight with gusts up to 40 mph.

4. Much colder Friday morning through the weekend with lows in the
20s with potential for a hard freeze Friday and Saturday morning.

Discussion...

Satellite showing clouds clearing to the west of area reaching into
western portions of the forecast area, this clearing area will
advance through much of the forecast area this afternoon putting us
in a dry slot and allowing the low levels to warm and destabilize.
Expect isolated thunderstorms to fire between 3 and 5 PM along a
dryline in far eastern Kansas ahead of cold front with supercells
possible. Best chance of severe storms will be north of Highway 36
in the left exit region of 130 knot jet streak, producing hail to
golf balls, wind gusts to 65 mph, and a brief tornado or two
possible. South of this area storms should be a bit weaker as upper
level jet will be overhead which will create subsidence which may
suppress storm development, however if any storms do go severe in
this area expect hail to quarters, wind gusts to 60 mph, and a brief
tornado. Storm activity will diminish and move east before midnight.

Tonight/Friday: Tight pressure gradient with cold air advection
tonight will produce wind gusts up to 40 mph. Otherwise it will be
much cooler with highs on Friday in the upper 30s and low 40s. More
sunshine expected which will help to cheer spirits through Saturday.
Hard freeze likely Friday and Saturday morning with lows in the 20s.

Sunday a shortwave trough will bring chances of precipitation across
the area, it looks like temperatures will be cold enough Sunday
morning to produce a rain/snow mix or light snow north of the
Missouri River, however accumulations should be very light. Still
some uncertainty with temperatures Sunday morning, so stay tuned as
forecast could change in regards to precipitation type.

Finally, late Monday into Tuesday a stronger system moves into the
area which will bring more precipitation and perhaps some
thunderstorms.

.Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening)
Issued at 635 PM CDT THU MAR 19 2020

VFR conditions are prevailing along Missouri-Kansas state line
terminals at this time, with some VCTS trying to pop up as an
active upper level system brings a cold front into northwest
Missouri. A few storms may affect the terminals for the next few
hours, but after that strong winds and MVFR CIGs are expected as
the cold front sweeps in late tonight.
