Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 12:05 PM CST, 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 105 PM CDT TUE APR 10 2001 ON-GOING SEVERE WEATHER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH WEDNESDAY THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES. SURFACE LOW DEEPENING OVER EASTERN COLORADO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...PRODUCING STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW...OVERRUNNING WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS KANSAS AND MISSOURI. AS A RESULT...WIDESPREAD CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS...INTO WESTERN MISSOURI. WARM FRONT FORECAST TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...KEEPING THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER CWA INTO THE OVERNIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT WE SHOULD SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS AS INTENSE SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO PULL OUT OF THE HIGH PLAINS...WHICH SHOULD FORCE WARM FRONT NORTH. AS A RESULT...AM EXPECTING A BIT OF A BREAK IN THE CONVECTION IN AREAS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT THIS EVENING...WITH MORE PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING TOWARDS MIDNIGHT. SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. WILL LIKELY CONSIDER A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AT LEAST THE WESTERN PART OF CWA. MODELS CONTINUE TO SURGE DRY LINE THROUGH WESTERN PORTION OF CWA BY 18Z...WHICH SHOULD EFFECTIVELY PUT AN END TO THE PRECIPITATION OVER WESTERN MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS. AM A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE EASTERN PART OF FORECAST AREA...AS IT APPEARS THAT DRY LINE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THIS REGION DURING THE PEAK HEATING OF THE DAY. SPC MODERATE RISK IN DAY2 LOOKS GOOD OVER CWA. INTENSE SURFACE LOW PULLS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS FORECASTING VERY STRONG GRADIENT WINDS ACROSS CWA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL HOLD OFF ON WIND ADVISORY AT THIS TIME AND LET MIDNIGHT SHIFT SEE HOW SYSTEM EVOLVES. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHANCE FOR RAIN ON FRIDAY...EXTENDED LOOKS COOLER AND DRIER. .EAX... KS...NONE MO...NONE MJM

THIS FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM WILL APPROACH TONIGHT...WHICH SHOULD GENERATE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS.
