AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
601 AM CST Wed Feb 16 2022
.Discussion...
Issued at 455 AM CST WED FEB 16 2022
Key Messages:
- Winter storm still on track to impact the region late tonight
into Thursday afternoon.
- Rain changes over to wintry mix (freezing rain first, then
sleet) late tonight before becoming all snow Thursday morning.
- Periods of moderate to heavy snow paired with gusty winds on
Thursday morning/early afternoon will likely lead to
significantly reduced visibilities and very hazardous travel
conditions.
- Heaviest snowfall accumulations expected in a narrow axis from
the southwestern side of the KC metro to Moberly, where up to 8"
of snow is possible.
Discussion:
Temperatures this morning are about 10 degrees above the normal
high for today's date, with temperatures primarily in the mid 50s.
Gusty southerly winds continue with gusts as high as 40 mph thanks
to a strong low level jet that developed overnight. A Wind
Advisory remains in effect until noon today, at which point winds
should come down a bit (but still remain breezy through the
afternoon). Water vapor imagery clearly shows the closed 500 mb
low over far southern California as of 4 AM. A trough moving
across Canada and the Upper Midwest will send a cold front into NW
MO by later this morning. This will create a substantial gradient
for high temps today, with highs in the mid 40s near the MO/IA/NE
tri state border behind the cold front with highs as warm as the
mid to upper 60s across the KC metro and points south and east
well into the warm sector. Ascent ahead of the approaching trough will
lead to showers developing by this afternoon with even some
thunderstorms possible by late afternoon/early evening as we get
up to about 500 J/kg of SB CAPE. As the surface low associated
with the trough across the Rockies moves west to east across the
Texas Panhandle later tonight, the cold front across northwestern
MO will get pulled through the region, allowing for cold air to
pour in from northwest to southeast. Surface temperatures should
cool to below freezing by late evening (likely around midnight ish
in KC). However, a warm nose aloft will remain in place, leading
to freezing rain initially and then sleet. Some instability looks
to still be in place during the sleet phase of the event, so
would not be surprised if we have some thundersleet. Ice accretion
and sleet accumulations will lead to slick roadways in the
overnight period. Changeover to all snow will occur from northwest
to southeast through the morning hours of Thursday as thermal
profiles become entirely sub freezing as the surface low makes its
way across NE Oklahoma and then along the MO/AR border. The
period of heaviest snow looks to be between roughly 7 AM and 2 PM
on Thursday. During this time northerly wind gusts up to 35 mph
will be possible, significantly reducing visibilities and making
travel extremely hazardous. Snow should taper off by mid to late
Thursday afternoon. While there remains some discrepancies among
the models, there is better consensus this morning and we are
getting a better idea for where the greatest snowfall totals may
be, which as of now appears to be roughly along an axis from the
southwestern side of the KC metro (Johnson County KS) to the
northeast toward Moberly where 6" to 8" of snow are currently
forecast. To the immediate north and south of this axis, 3" to 6"
are forecast. Less than 3" are expected across northwestern and
far northern MO. A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from
midnight tonight to 6 pm Thursday, although an upgrade to a
warning is likely by this afternoon at least for portions of the
current watch area.
Very cold temperatures are expected for Thursday night into Friday
morning behind the storm, with lows in the low single digits for
most locations and wind chills slightly below zero. Temperatures
should rebound fairly quickly with highs above freezing expected
for Friday afternoon, 40s on Saturday and 50s on Sunday. The
warmup continues into next week with highs in the upper 50s to low
60s by Monday. The weather pattern gets active again as we head
into mid to late next week as a couple of troughs looks to move
through the region.

.Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday Morning)
Issued at 559 AM CST WED FEB 16 2022
Currently VFR at all terminals with southerly winds continuing to
gust up to 40 knots. Winds should relax a bit by around noon
today, but remain elevated with gusts still to 20 to 25 knots.
Showers may begin at the KC terminals by around 2z this evening,
with freezing rain beginning by around 6z at all terminals before
transitioning to sleet. Precip should become all snow by around
11z Thursday morning. Winds will become northerly by this
evening, with gusts increasing again to around 30 knots by
Thursday morning. MVFR CIGs are expected by this evening, and
VSBYs will likely also be reduced to MVFR due to sleet and snow
Thursday morning.
