NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 6, 1:45 PM CST, 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 245 PM CDT TUE JUL 6 2004 .DISCUSSION... RATHER QUIET UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY WITH THE CONCERN BEING THE NEXT THREAT OF CONVECTION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT HAS SHIFTED SOUTHEAST TO NEAR THE I-35 CORRIDOR WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTERING SOUTHEAST BEHIND THE FRONT. THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX HAS HELPED TO LIMIT AFTERNOON HEATING IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WITH THE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT RATHER WEAK. THE LACK OF CONVERGENCE AND UPPER AIR SUPPORT WILL LIKELY INHIBIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION MAINLY ACROSS THE NERN CWA UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. THROUGHOUT THE SE CWA...ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION EXPECTED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A LEE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MESOETA AND GFS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING ELEVATED CONVECTION ACROSS WRN MO AND EXTREME ERN KANSAS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. MESOETA SUGGEST WEAK TO MODERATE ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 305-310K SURFACE WITH WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY ALSO PRESENT. AS A RESULT...WILL INTRODUCE A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE OK EXCEPT WILL HEDGE TOWARD THE COOLER MAV GUIDANCE FOR THURSDAY AS MORNING CLOUD COVER AND WET GROUND WILL PROBABLY LIMIT THE TEMPERATURE RISE. OVERALL MADE FEW CHANGES TO GOING EXTENDED FORECAST. MID LEVEL RIDGING LOOKS TO BRING THE FIRST REAL BOUT OF AOA 90F TEMPERATURES TO MUCH OF THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...BEFORE ACTIVE NORTHERN JET STREAM SQUASHES RIDGE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO ALLOW FOR SLIM THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. MAIN QUANDARY IN THE WEEKEND FORECAST WILL BE HOW FAR SOUTH THE COLD FRONT CAN PUSH BEFORE IT RETREATS NORTH AS A WARM FRONT DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. IF 00Z GFS FORECAST PANS OUT...FRONT MAY NEVER MAKE IT THIS FAR SOUTH THUS LEADING TO A DRY WEEKEND. WILL LEAVE FORECAST INTACT FOR NOW AND LET A COUPLE MORE RUNS COME IN BEFORE PULLING GOING LOW POPS. RIDGING BUILDS IN EARNEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHICH SHOULD YIELD TYPICAL MID-JULY WEATHER BY THAT TIME. BEUSTERIEN/HUDSON && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... 625 AM... UPDATED FORECAST TO REFLECT MCS PROPAGATION ACROSS CWA. APPEARS SEVERE THREAT MAY BE WANING THIS MORNING BUT HEAVY RAIN THREAT STILL QUITE HIGH...WITH THE MARSHALL MISSOURI AUTOMATED GAUGE REPORTING 1.1 INCHES OF RAIN IN 15 MINUTES TIME SHORTLY AFTER 6 AM. WILL ADJUST TIMING OF WEATHER GRIDS TO REFLECT THE MOVEMENT OF THIS MORNINGS MCS...AND LEAVE AFTERNOON POPS INTACT UNTIL WE GET A BETTER FEEL FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HUDSON && .PREV DISCUSSION... 200 AM CDT TUE JUL 6 2004 LINEAR MCS/SQUALL LINE RUNNING NEARLY NORTH-SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL KS INTO NORTHWEST OK WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER CONCERN THIS MORNING. RADAR TRENDS/SATELLITE IMAGERY/THERMODYNAMICS AND MID/UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT SUGGEST MCS WILL HAVE A NORTHERN SEGMENT WHICH TRACKS EAST INTO CWA AND A SOUTHERN SEGMENT WHICH TURNS SOUTHEAST. STRONG 3 HOURLY SURFACE PRESSURE RISES IN EXCESS OF 4MB IS REFLECTIVE OF LARGE AND STRONG COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH SOUTHERN PORTION OF MCS. 850-300MB THICKNESS CONTOURS AND RADAR TRENDS INDICATE SOUTHERN PORTION OF MCS WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST INTO OKLAHOMA WHERE BEST INSTABILITY LIES. ICT DOPPLER RADAR SHOWS OUTFLOW HAS RACED AHEAD OF CENTRAL PORTION OF MCS AND THUS APPARENTLY DIVIDED SYSTEM INTO THE TWO SEGMENTS. NORTHERN SEGMENT IS ALSO MOVING INTO A VERY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT AS NOTED BY CAPES IN EXCESS OF 5000J/KG. SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS ALSO FORMED PERPENDICULAR TO THE MCS ALONG WEAK CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY... WITH CONTINUED GROWTH IN THIS REGION EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. LATEST RUC QPF APPEARS TO HAVE BEST HANDLE ON WHERE CONVECTION WILL HEAD INTO OUR CWA AND IT POINTS TO WEST CENTRAL MO...INCLUDING MKC AREA. THUS HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO LIKELY CATEGORY OVER THIS REGION FOR THE MORNING HOURS. WEAK COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH NORTHERN PLAINS SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO MOVE INTO NORTHWEST MO THIS AFTERNOON...WITH CONVECTION REFORMING ALONG AND AHEAD OF FRONT CONDITIONAL IF ATMOSPHERE CAN RECOVER QUICK ENOUGH FROM MORNING STORMS. RIGHT REAR QUAD OF STRENGTHENING 250MB JET MAX WHICH IS AIDING THIS MORNINGS STORMS MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO REFORM CONVECTION ALONG THIS COLD FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE TRICKY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN PORTION OF CWA WHERE CLOUDS/RAIN COULD LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON. COOLER/DRIER AIR MOVES INTO REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR WEDNESDAY. WARM ADVECTION RETURNS QUICKLY ACROSS WESTERN CWA WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON BACK SIDE OF RETREATING SURFACE HIGH. SOME CONCERN FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION BUT WILL ONLY GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING. WARM AND STEAMY WEATHER SHOULD RETURN FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TAPS INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. MAY BE ABLE TO REACH OUR FIRST 90 DEGREE READING OF THE YEAR IN KC DURING THIS PERIOD.
