The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Dec 27, 2:12 PM CST, 14 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Chance (20-80%) for scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms starting late tonight into Sunday. Isolated strong to severe wind gusts possible. Rainfall amounts will generally be under a half an inch.
  • Brief snow showers or even sleet may occur Sunday afternoon/evening (mainly north of HWY-36) after a strong cold front moves through the area, but no impactful accumulations are expected.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 211 PM CST Sat Dec 27 2025

Today will be the last day of this unseasonally warm stretch.
Similar to the past few days, lingering fog and cloud coverage will
make it challenging to gauge high temperatures exactly. But, highs
for today will mostly from the upper 50s (north of I-70) to low 70s
(south of I-70). Locations south of I-70 have begun clearing out
suggesting a better potential to reach the low 70s. Areas near
northwest MO still have fairly extensive cloud coverage suggesting
highs around the mid 50s.

As the mid to upper level ridge, that brought us these unseasonally
warm temperatures, continues to track towards the eastern U.S., a
dynamic mid to upper level trough is passing along the
U.S./Canadian border from Alberta into Saskatchewan. At the
surface, a warm front is slowly tracking from southern MO into
the northern half. During the overnight hours tonight into
Sunday morning, the dynamic mid to upper level trough will
transition into a closed low and dip into the lower 48, moving
south/southeast through the Dakotas. This closed low will push a
robust cold front towards the area just after midnight.
Isentropic ascent, seen well on the 300K surface, out ahead of
the cold front in the warm sector will result in a few showers
during the pre-dawn hours of Sunday morning. These showers seem
to linger through the morning hours when the cold front begins
to move through the area. This front is expected to provide
additional lift for a few thunderstorms during the
afternoon/evening. Given the generous amounts of shear (60+ kts
of bulk shear) and somewhat limited instability (MUCAPE values
up to 500 J/kg) severe thunderstorms seem less likely. The most
favorable areas for severe thunderstorms seems to be south of
I-70, towards central MO with an even better severe environment
farther east/southeast of our area. However, one deterministic
model (the NAM) has trended significantly more unstable during
this timeframe. The NAM has painted a swathe of 1,000-1,500 J/kg
of MUCAPE across central MO which would definitely bolster the
severe potential. This model is an outlier as the LREF gives a
less than 10% for MUCAPE values to be greater than 800 J/kg.
Even still, with the very strong flow associated with this
system, a few isolated strong to severe wind gusts will be
possible. As a secondary threat, a few storms may even produce
some small hail. North of I-70, a few areas may see a switch to
snow or ice pellets with colder air moving in quickly behind the
cold front. Given the influx of dry air with the front and warm
ground temperatures, any snow (or ice pellets) that falls is
not expected to accumulate.

Immediately on the backside of the front, strong wind gusts ranging
from 35-45 mph are expected. Model sounding indicate winds ranging
from 30-40 kts at the top of the mixed layer. This strong gradient
coupled with sufficient mixing will allow some of these winds to
reach the surface. The HREF suggests the best chances (40-60%) for
areas west of I-35 for wind gusts greater than 45 mph. But then,
areas south of the KC Metro have a 50-70% chance for wind gusts
greater than 40 mph. Given these probabilities a wind advisory has
been issued for the entire CWA as conditions will be windy. Strong
wind probabilities taper off during the Monday morning hours.

Strong CAA will allow temperatures to plummet. Monday morning wind
chills will stay in the single digits above and below zero. A few
areas in northeast MO may reach the double digits below zero. Highs
for Monday stay mostly in the 20s with a few locations near central
MO approaching freezing. These cold conditions will be fairly short-
lived as the high pressure behind the cold front quickly settles to
the south/southeast shifting our winds more west/southwest.
Fluctuating temperatures seem to be the story with another system
pushing a cold front through the area for the second half of next
week. The pattern switches to a more active one bringing multiple
shortwaves through the area into the weekend.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1142 AM CST Sat Dec 27 2025

Conditions across most of the area are anticipated to continue
improving through the afternoon hours. A few locations north of
HWY-36 may keep reduced visibilities into the afternoon. Winds
will shift more southerly/southwesterly heading into the
evening. A cold front will bring a chance for showers just after
midnight tonight. Northwesterly wind gusts ranging from 25-35
kts are anticipated during the late morning/early afternoon
hours Sunday on the backside of the front.
