AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
1241 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

.Discussion...
Issued at 1241 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2020

This AFD will focus on the next 6 to 12 hours of how these two
mesoscale convective systems will impact the area. Currently there
is a east to west moving MCS over central MO that has become mostly
gust dominant, but is still developing along a low level convergent
boundary just north of the Missouri River that goes just south of
St. Joseph. This convergent boundary has been the focus for back-
building thunderstorms that have put down 1-2 inches per hour and
lead to multiple flash flood warnings in areas of Randolph and
Chariton counties with 3+ inches already fallen. This E-W oriented
line will be the focus for possible future flash flooding if storms
can continue to develop and back build until that NW MCS can
converge with this boundary, but this may only aggravate an already
saturated region. Most of central Missouri will likely see 4+ inches
of rainfall with a large area under a flash flood warning as there
is 4-5 more hours of heavy rain expected. Strong winds will likely
occur with the gust front as we have seen 40-50mph winds as it went
through Sedalia.

The MCS over northeast KS will likely also play off the E-W oriented
boundary providing a focus for it to accelerate along the arm of
storms that will likely form over the next couple hours. The main
severe threat will likely be along this boundary and south into the
KC metro area in the next few hours. There will likely be two
threats with this MCS, damaging winds and flash flooding. An
analysis of TOP's radar shows that this storm is currently outflow
dominant, but indicates strong winds behind the outflow with the
actual storms. A MCV appears to be forming on the north side of the
this MCS, which may help enhance the rear inflow jet and create a
stronger bow echo as it approaches the KS/MO border area and the KC
Metro. Low level and effective shear are all perpendicular to the
line which may help to balance the system more as it moves east.
Plenty of energy is available for this system with 3500-4000 J/kg of
MUCAPE ahead of it. DCAPE values of ~1400 J/kg indicate there is
plenty of potential for winds to reach the surface with only a weak
inversion in place as temperatures are still in the 80s. There is
some marginal effective SRH and perpendicular 0-3km shear vectors as
it enters Missouri, so we will have to watch for potential
mesovortices formation as well. What will happen when these two
features merge is a great question? CAM solutions show it merging
and stalling both systems before it finally pushes out to the SE,
but we are a bit worried it may lead to a stalling of movement and
create a major flooding concern over central and western Missouri.
Rivers and creeks will likely start to rise by morning and could
become an issue depending on how much QPF we actually get over the
region. By the afternoon the storms and their immediate threat will
move off, but river and areal flooding may still be an issue going
into the afternoon.

.Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night)
Issued at 1209 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2020

The main impacts to the area will be a line of thunderstorms that
will be pushing through the area from the NW and another complex
of storms moving from east to west over central MO. These two
complexes will meet somewhere east of the KS/MO border with
widespread moderate rain, MVFR visibilities, lightning, and
potentially severe wind gusts near 60-70mph. All this will occur
in the first 6 hours of the TAFs, before things finally move off
to the SE by the early afternoon. Some rain may linger behind this
system longer than the TAFs have, but it is difficult to time
exactly when that will push east. VFR conditions are expected
after 18Z today with no precipitation in the forecast through the
end of the period.
