Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 638 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Scattered to widespread showers and storms are likely (50 to 80%) through early Wednesday morning. - Periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected (90 to 100%) Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Strong to severe storms are possible Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. - Another round of showers and storms are likely (60 to 90%) Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Strong to severe storms will be possible once again. - Total rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are likely across the region by Saturday, with isolated higher amounts possible. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 200 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026 Current radar imagery (as of 2:00 AM CDT) shows numerous showers and storms ongoing across the area. This convection will continue through the early morning hours as it slowly progresses off to the east/northeast. A cold/stationary front is draped across the far southern portion of area which is resulting in the storms being elevated in nature. The main threats with these storms are marginally severe hail and heavy downpours, which may lead to flash flooding if training occurs. A brief break in shower/storm activity is expected Wednesday morning, although overcast and gloomy conditions will remain through the day. A trough is expected to ejected from the Rockies Wednesday, becoming slightly negatively tilted as it moves across the Great Plains. This will be the focus of our next round of showers and storms Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. The Wednesday afternoon threat seems to be diminished a bit from previous model runs, likely owing to cloud cover remaining present through the day and instability values struggling to build. In the 00Z guidance, most CAMs struggle to convect at all Wednesday afternoon, however, the conditional threat of strong to severe storms does still exist if clearing is able to occur given the 40-50 kts of deep layer shear. However, at this point, the primary focus is on the round of showers and storms that could produce severe weather Wednesday night into Thursday morning. As the trough ejects, surface cyclogenesis will occur in the lee of the Rockies. The stationary front that is currently across the southern portion of the CWA will lift northward as a warm front Wednesday evening bringing moisture return to the area in the form of PWAT values around 1.50" (99th percentile for April). Showers and storms are expected to begin late Wednesday afternoon and persist through the night, which brings the concern of flooding into play, particularly in areas that saw heavy rainfall Wednesday morning. As the low pressure system moves just north of the area, a strong cold front will advance across the area early Thursday morning, bringing the primary severe threat. Storms are expected to form along the cold front with the main threats being damaging winds and perhaps an embedded tornado or two. Storms will exit the area with the front Thursday leaving behind dry conditions for the majority of the day on Thursday. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Issued at 200 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026 The dry stretch behind the mid-week system will not be long lived as another trough is expected to eject into the Central Plains on Friday. Surface cyclogenesis will occur on Friday with the cyclone currently progged to follow a remarkably similar path to the system on Thursday. The CWA will be placed in a broad warm sector Friday afternoon with 2000-3000 J/kg of of SBCAPE expected to build. This will once again bring the possibility of strong to severe storms with the SPC currently having the area in a day 4 Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5). A cold front will pass Friday evening/night, which will bring an end to shower/storm chances through the extended. In total, widespread rainfall values of 2-4" are expected across the area with locally higher amounts possible. High pressure will build into the area Saturday with clearing skies, which may create a setup for a freeze Saturday night. Lows are currently expected to be in the low 30s, so this is something to keep an eye on in the coming days. Temperatures will return to the 60s by early next week creating more of a spring-like feel. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 628 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026 Isolated showers remain in the vicinity of the terminals as of 1130z, but these should exit to the east within the next hour or so. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible in the general vicinity of the KC metro terminals between roughly 21 and 00z this afternoon/evening, which has been handled with a PROB30 group. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely to overspread the terminals from the south by around 2z (IXD) to 4z (STJ) tonight and continue through the end of the TAF period. VIS will likely drop to around 3 to 5SM with the more moderate rainfall late tonight into early Thursday morning. Low end MVFR to IFR CIGs are likely to persist through the period. Easterly winds should continue this morning and afternoon north of the frontal boundary, with winds turning southeasterly and eventually southerly as the boundary lifts north through the region tonight, with gusts up to 22 to 25 knots by late tonight. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
