AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 253 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021 .Discussion... Issued at 252 PM CDT FRI JUN 11 2021 Focus for today... 1) Severe thunderstorms possible through the remainder of the afternoon, with a threat of damaging wind and large hail. 2) The heat and humidity will intensify across the region in the coming days. This afternoon and evening... For the remainder of the afternoon and early evening hours we will be watching the severe thunderstorm complex that is rolling southeast across northeast Kansas into northwest Missouri. This small complex of storms moving out of Nebraska is what is left of the overnight storms that moved east across Nebraska. The storm activity slowed this morning, but eventually found a good north- south moisture feed and instability axis in eastern Nebraska, which has turned the activity south into eastern Kansas and western Missouri early this afternoon. As of the early afternoon hours, the complex has put down a cold pool that looks to be driving the activity ahead of a synoptic front that is still pushing through southeast Nebraska. As a result the storms are moving into a favorable environment for severe weather, as they follow an instability gradient axis of 3500 J/KG through northeast Kansas into northwest and west central Missouri. Deep layer shear, both 0-6KM and 0-8KM (50 kts), is more than sufficient in the vicinity of the leading storms to support organized storms, and has resulted in bowing line segment that has brought some large hail and damaging winds (over 70 MPH) in Nebraska and Kansas thus far. For the rest of the afternoon, we expect the small complex of storms to continue to follow the instability axis into east central Kansas and west central Missouri. This will have the storms moving through the greater Kansas City Metro between now and 5 PM, with lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms persisting to around 7 PM in KC. Large hail and damaging winds remain the primary concerns, though heavy rain with local flooding may be an issue as individual storms will be very efficient rain makers. For late tonight, we may need to watch for redevelopment across north central Missouri as some of the CAMs advertise a redevelopment of activity late tonight. Currently, operational models don't support this, but given the unstable airmass this will need watching. The weekend and next work week... In general, the prevailing ridge across the center of the Nation will continue to prevail into next week, which will bring a prolonged period of heat and humidity. On the up side, for Saturday, we will see conditions improve slightly as today's stormy activity and cool front brings a slightly cooler, and much drier, airmass to the region. However, by Sunday the humidity and heat will start to build back in, with Monday looking particularly hot and muggy. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 12 PM CDT FRI JUN 11 2021 Main focus will be on a small complex of thunderstorms that will drop south-southeast this afternoon across the northwest Kansas- Missouri border; effecting the terminals through the late afternoon to early evening hours. Strong gusty winds and low MVFR CIGs are expected as as the thunderstorms move through. After the storms move through, expect winds to turn to the north and northeast for the rest of this TAF cycle. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
