AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 350 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2001 SURFACE FRONT STILL HANGING ABOUT THE CWA...EXTENDING FROM NEAR KCNK TO GENERALLY NEAR KIRK. FRONAL ZONE IS RATHER DIFFUSE...AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MORNING MAKING PICKING OUT A SPECIFIC LOCATION DIFFICULT. A LITTLE BIT OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWFA...WITH SOME RE-DEVELOPMENT THAT LOOKS TO BE STILL POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN KS. MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD INCLUDE POPS TONIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING...AND THEN AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT. 12Z MODELS HAVE INITIALIZED WITH THE SURFACE FRONT TOO FAR SOUTH... ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...WHEN AT 12Z THIS MORNING IT WAS UP ALONG THE IA BORDER. CONSIDERING THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW ALL 12Z MODELS CAN SHIFT THE FRONT AS FAR SOUTH AS IT DOES...AND PREFER A SOLUTION THAT KEEPS THE FRONT MOVING SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA...NOT EXITING UNTIL MID MORNING THURSDAY. SO...WILL HAVE A SCATTERED POP OVER CWA THROUGH TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHTS LOWS...EXCEPT A LITTLE COOLER OVER THE NORTH. FOR THURSDAY...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION IS DEPRESSED TO THE SOUTH... AND ONLY SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS LINGERING IN THE MORNING OVER THE SOUTHERN CWA. WITH THE FRONT FINALLY SOUTH OF THE CWA...TEMPS SHOULD BE COOLER THAN RECENTLY...WITH DEWPOINTS MUCH DRIER. ON FRIDAY THE CWA RETURNS TO THE SOUP...WITH DEWPOINTS AND TEMPS WARMING AGAIN. WITH THIS...NEED SOME CHANCE POPS FOR TSTMS...FROM ABOUT LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON ON. EXTENDED... NEW AVN NOT FAST ENOUGH WITH WAVE TO MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY...AND HAVE KEPT PRECIP OUT OF SUNDAY. OTRW...REST OF EXTENDED LOOKS HOT AND DRY FOR NOW...WITH A GENERAL WARMING TREND. .EAX... NONE.
