AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
631 PM CDT Thu Mar 26 2020

.Discussion...
Issued at 227 PM CDT THU MAR 26 2020

The forecast focus is for strong to severe thunderstorms tonight
through Friday morning. And another round of strong to severe
thunderstorms Friday evening through Saturday morning. Then gusty
winds on Saturday.

Key Messages...

1. Strong to severe thunderstorms expected from 10 PM through
tomorrow morning hail up to the size of half dollars (1.5") will
be main threat mainly along and south of the Missouri River.
Localized heavy rain may lead to isolated flash flooding.

2. Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms expected from
Friday evening through Saturday morning large hail, damaging winds,
and an isolated tornado are possible mainly across eastern KS/
western MO including the Metro area. Localized heavy rain may lead
to isolated flash flooding.

3. Strong winds behind cold front on Saturday.

Discussion...

At the surface a quasi-stationary frontal system is draped across
southern Kansas into Missouri near the Missouri River. The upper
levels feature a low over the SW US and broad ridging across the
Midwest with southwesterly flow over the Plains. Satellite showing
clouds north of Missouri River with clearing to the south along the
frontal boundary. Tonight a LLJ will develop and nose into southern
KS over-riding the frontal boundary. This will allow elevated
convection to develop which will be capable of producing large hail.
As, the overnight progresses the LLJ will shift east nosing into the
local area near midnight. Steep mid level lapse rates and modest
instability between 500-1000 J/Kg MUCAPE across the southern CWA
will allow the chance for a few severe storms capable of large hail
possible along and south of the Missouri River. Storms will weaken
but will continue through Friday morning as the LLJ weakens. Friday
it will be mostly dry as the warm front lifts to the north in
response to upper level low pushing towards Plains, however a few
showers are possible through the afternoon hours mainly across
northern Missouri.

Friday evening and Saturday morning another round of strong to
severe storms with large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated
tornado possible mainly across eastern Kansas and western Missouri
including the Metro area. LLJ will crank up again intersecting the
warm front in northern Missouri while the upper level trough to west
will create a surface low across northern Kansas with a couple of
storms forming near dryline in Kansas as it pushes east Friday
evening and Saturday morning. MUCAPE will approach 1500-2000 J/kg
and effective shear of 40 to 50 knots. Storms that form in warm
sector will likely be near surface based and discrete supercells.
The storms farther north near warm front will be elevated and more
numerous in coverage. Saturday morning dryline will push east and
storms will move out of the area. Winds will be strong from
southwest eventually turning west to northwest, wind advisories are
possible on Saturday.

Sunday and Monday will be dry with temperatures above normal. Next
chance of precipitation possible Monday evening as the next system
approaches.

.Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening)
Issued at 631 PM CDT THU MAR 26 2020

The MVFR ceilings north of the MO River have become more scattered
over the last couple of hours. They will likely fluctuate between
MVFR and VFR for the next few hours until storms move into the
area. Storms should arrive around 04Z in our western counties and
move east reaching our eastern counties around 05Z-06Z. MVFR
ceilings will accompany the storms. Once storms pass, widespread
IFR ceilings and MVFR visibility is expected due to the increased
low level moisture. Can't rule out some patchy drizzle or light
rain tomorrow morning. During the day, the surface low and warm
front will slowly move north, gradually lifting/moving ceilings
north during the afternoon.
