Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
1249 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Another round of severe storms possible this afternoon and evening.
  All severe hazards are possible during the day with a trend
  to flooding/ flash flooding overnight.

- Strong to potentially severe storms linger into Sunday.

- Unsettled pattern continues Tuesday through the end of next
  week. Best potential for additional severe storms is Tuesday
  afternoon and evening.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 243 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Today - Tonight: Satellite and radar imagery early this morning show
what is likely an outflow boundary draped from northeastern MO
southwestward over the KC area and then into eastern KS. It's
possible this could be the cold front but there isn't much of a
temperature/dew point difference across it. Regardless, models
have not initiated this boundary well and are too far north with
it. The boundary will stall close to where it is as of ~08Z.
The RAP 305K surface shows this reasonably well. There will be
enough forcing along this boundary that showers and storms
should increase in coverage across northern MO through the
morning hours. During the morning hours, when potential
instability is weakest, the threat of severe weather looks to be
low. Going into the afternoon and evening hours, as a very warm
and humid airmass builds south of the boundary, CAPE values
will increase substantially. Models vary on this as well but
HREF probabilities show a greater than 90% chance for 2000+ J/kg
of SBCAPE. There's even a 20% chance for SBCAPE to be greater
than 3000 J/kg over eastern KS and western MO. Additionally, as
upper-level flow increases, deep-layer shear will increase so
we'll be staring down the barrel of a potentially 3000+ J/kg
airmass with 40-50 kts of shear. If a storm can get going in the
open warm sector, it will very likely become severe with all
hazards possible. This still seems unlikely this far east and is
much more likely further west, closer to the dryline. The
region will also be in a favorable location of an
anticyclonically curved upper jet with strong diffluence noted
over the forecast area on streamline plots. In the lower-levels,
a strong low-level jet will increase in the evening with
intense moisture transport nosing right into eastern KS and
western MO. This all points to an increase in coverage/
intensity of convection this evening with rounds of very heavy
rainfall and flooding/ flash flooding likely into the overnight
hours.

Sunday - Sunday Night: Saturday night's convection will bleed into
Sunday as the low-level jet shifts eastward through the day and the
diffluent upper flow persists. With convection ongoing at the start
of this period, and then continuing through the day, we'll struggle
to rebuild the instability. CAPE values look to be at least half of
what we saw Saturday and likely even less, potentially less than
1000 J/kg. While deep-layer shear will remain impressive, the weaker
instability will limit the potential for severe weather.

Monday - Monday Night: This period looks to be dry as the main
trough that brought multiple rounds of severe weather to the region
exits to the east and a drier airmass moves into the area.

Mid to Late Next Week: Low-level flow returns to a southerly
trajectory Monday night into Tuesday. That will advect moisture back
into the area just in time for the next front to interact with
it Tuesday. The warmer and more humid airmass will lead to
moderate instability with potentially 2000+ J/kg of MLCAPE
Tuesday afternoon. With 30-40 kts of deep-layer shear, can't
rule out additional chances for strong to severe storms.
Unsettled weather will likely continue through the end of the
week as the area remains in a humid airmass with multiple
shortwave troughs moving through the flow. This will be resolved
better (and this forecaster will have more time to look at it)
in the coming days.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1246 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Conditions across the area are ranging from VFR to MVFR with
ceilings ranging from 2,000-3,000 feet. As moisture continues to
increase through the area with return-flow from the Gulf,
ceilings are expected to thicken and stick around for the
duration of the TAF period. Showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop along a warm frontal boundary extending from
western Kansas into south central Iowa late this evening. Winds
are expected to stay southerly with gusts as high as 25 knots.
