AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 222 PM CDT WED JUL 18 2001 ...HEAT...THUNDERSTORMS AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN EVENT TONIGHT ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THIS PACKAGE... SURFACE ANALYSIS FROM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A COUPLE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDRIES IN THE AREA. ONE LIES NEAR HIGHWAY 36 AND HAS GENERATED SOME WEAK SHOWERS/TSTORMS. THE OTHER BOUNDRY STRETCHES FROM NEAR KVIH TO KCOU. PROFILERS SHOW WAA AT 700MB SO DIURNAL ACTIVITY COULD STRUGGLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH LACK OF DEEP LAYER CONVERGENCE. STILL WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 90S AND EXTREME AMOUNTS OF CAPE SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER A FEW SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE ATMOSPHERE SEEMS PRIMED FOR NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY OVER NERN KS AND NWRN MO AGAIN TONIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THE LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDRY IN NERN KS/SERN NEBR...LLJ FOCUS INTO THE AREA...AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL INDICATE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. MODELS SUGGEST FAVORABLE WAA ADVECTION FROM MID EVENING THRU EARLY MORNING SO A WINDOW OF AT LEAST 6 HRS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE. WILL INCLUDE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR COUNTIES FROM THE METRO NORTH TO THE IOWA BORDER THROUGH EARLY MORNING. AREAS SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM REACHING HEAT CRITERIA FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING TODAY. KSTJ WILL LIKELY NOT REACH HEAT INDEX OF 105 TODAY. CONVECTIVE REMNANTS TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE TOUGH TO PROG...BUT WILL MOST LIKELY RESIDE OVER NERN MO. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH SAME EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CONFIGURATION AS TODAY. HOT...HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY SO WILL TACK ON AN ADDITIONAL DAY TO THE WARNING. IN THE EXTENDED...NOT MUCH CHANGE TO CURRENT PKG. SHRTWVS CONTINUE TO ROUND THE RIDGE...BUT HARD TO TIME/PLACE. NEXT BEST CHC FOR PCPN LOOKS TO BE WITH SFC FRNT MOVING DOWN FROM THE NRN PLAINS. H5 RIDGE DOES FLATTEN SOMEWHAT SO DOES NOT LOOK OUT OF THE QUESTION. WILL PLAN ON KEEPING POPS IN TUES-THURS WITH MINOR COOL DOWN TWDS THE END OF THE WEEK. .EAX...
