AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
112 PM CDT Tue Apr 28 2020

.Discussion...
Issued at 111 PM CDT TUE APR 28 2020

Primary forecast focus is on Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon.

We have been watching convective trends ahead of the surface front
moving south/southeast out of Nebraska and into northeastern Kansas
and northwestern Missouri. Farther west, the surface boundary is
being influenced by what appears to be a secondary 850 low and a
subtle 500mb short wave trough moving into northeastern Kansas. This
has resulted in more stout convection developing across central
Kansas. Over our neck of the woods, a subtle radar feature
suggests a potential surface boundary well ahead of the front and
current convection, just pushing through the KC Metro. This is
depicted on Visible Satellite by a more focused line of cumulus,
just weakly organized. It appears this subtle boundary may end up
being a focus for initial organized convection as the front
continues to push southward. This boundary appears to be focused
along the western edge of a strong 925-850mb Theta-E axis,
supported by the ribbon of lower 60s dewpoints cutting through
western Missouri. Various flavors of Convective Allowing Models
(CAMs) suggest robust initiation ahead of the front, near this
boundary between 2 to 4 PM. 17Z special from Topeka reveals a
sizable inversion with a very dry sub-cloud layer. Low level lapse
rates are between 6 and 7 C/Km supporting an increased concern
for damaging wind gusts with any convection. At present, most
likely to see the initial line of strong to severe convection
develop near/around Paola, KS to the south side of the KC
Metro/Harrisonville to Marshall to Moberly; with a line of storms
moving east and southeast into central Missouri through 6 to 7 PM.
Overall, Wind will be the primary concern followed by hail. Wind
gusts over 60 mph are more than likely with the strongest storms
and can cause significant damage. As for tornadic potential;
boundary layer winds are veered, out of the southwest, and are
expected to remain so. Overall, not overly impressed with the
tornadic potential, but given sufficient shear for rotating
storms, a few spin-ups cannot be ruled out with the strongest
storms.

Overnight, after midnight, an area of showers will move into
northwestern Missouri. With steep low level lapse rates, there's
concerns we could see isolated wind gusts over 60 mph with this
activity. At present, we will likely handle any strong wind gusts
with Severe Storm warnings or Special Weather Statements.

.Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1158 AM CDT TUE APR 28 2020

TAF sites will have to contend with thunderstorm chances through
the afternoon into the early evening. Ceilings are expected to
remain at VFR, but drops in visibility are expected with any heavy
thunderstorms. A break in rain is expected for much of the
overnight with a second chance for showers early Wednesday
morning along with strong northwest winds.
