AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 310 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2023 .Discussion... Issued at 309 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2023 Key Messages: - Hit or miss showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. - Another shot for showers and storms on Wednesday. - More seasonable temperatures towards the late week. Discussion: Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed again this afternoon in areas with higher moisture, better instability and steep low level lapse rates. These showers and storms should persist over the next few hours thanks to daytime heating and weak upper level wave moving through. Severe weather is not expected due to lack of shear and strong winds aloft. However, cannot rule out some gusts near 25 to 35 mph in any cold pool interaction due to the steep low level lapse rates and DCAPE over 1000 j/kg. Small hail is more likely within any strong storm and we have already received some reports within the past hour. Heating is lost after sunset and instability quickly wanes allowing for a dry night across the region. Overall pattern remains the same with strong upper level low parked over northern New England with another upper level low over southern California. This keeps the Plains in a ridge over the next several days. A weak wave will move through the area tomorrow, which could trigger more showers and isolated thunder. However, the better instability and moisture will be to the north and west of the region. Did keep a slight chance of pop but confidence is low for widespread precipitation chances for the area. Potent wave will round the upper level low on Wednesday which will bring a back door cold front into the area. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated through the day as the front pushes southwest. Temperature spreads are likely with high temperatures near 80F across the northeast with 90F across the southwest portion of the area. Higher confidence in precip and thunder chances due to better instability and moisture ahead of the front. Severe weather chances are low due to lack of shear. The front looks to stall out over the Central Plains which could renew precipitation chances on Thursday, esp across the western portion of the area. Towards the weekend, precipitation chances seem to be on the increase as omega block upper level pattern begins to weaken with a few waves moving through the flow. While timing is still uncertain, confidence is increasing in precipitation across the area with cooler temperatures. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 1218 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2023 VFR conditions will prevail through the rest of the afternoon outside of any TSRA. Light easterly flow will persist through the TAF period. Some broken upper level clouds will slide south and west from the Great Lakes due to upper level shortwave rotating around the stagnate upper level low over New England. Otherwise cu field will begin to develop this afternoon thanks to some mid- level moisture and good mixing. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible and could impact some of the TAF locations. Kept VCSH for now until convection begins to develop, then will adjust accordingly. Convection will wane after 02-03z as heating is lost and some dry air makes its way into the mid-levels. Conditions should remain VFR overnight and into the morning push. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && Discussion...SIPPRELL Aviation...SIPPRELL
