NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 13, 9:32 AM CST, 5 hours 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 1032 AM CDT SAT AUG 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... SHOWERS STILL MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. HAVE LOWERED HIGH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES UP NORTH TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS FRONT DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN THIRD OF AREA. EXPECT TO SEE THIS MOVE SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND GENERATE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. GOING POPS HAS THIS SCENARIO COVERED WELL. HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURE SLIGHTLY IN I70 CORRIDOR TO MATCH UP WITH MORNING TREND. ZFP ALREADY OUT. LVK && .PREV DISCUSSION... 415 AM... MUCH NEEDED RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. STALLED SURFACE FRONT NOT EASILY FOUND AS NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS HAS MADE A MISH-MASH OF SURFACE FEATURES OVER KS/MO. BEST ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK SURFACE LOW OVER CENTRAL KS WITH BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST THROUGH CENTRAL MO. 850MB BOUNDARY LIES ACROSS NORTHERN KS AND MO. NAM/GFS/RUC/CANADIAN QPF FOCUS ON 850MB BOUNDARY FOR PRIMARY CONVECTION THIS MORNING. REGIONAL RADARS SUPPORT THIS BUT SURFACE BASED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA. BEST ISENTROPIC LIFT ON 310K/315K SURFACES IS OVER NORTHERN MO THIS MORNING. THAT COMBINED WITH FAVORABLE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF BROAD UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE SUPPORT FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN CWA THIS MORNING. MODERATELY STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET AS NOTED IN PROFILER DATA CONTINUES TO FEED DEEP MOISTURE INTO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD WEAKEN SOME BY LATE MORNING. DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW FAR NORTH WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL/CAN LIFT NORTH. SCATTERED MORNING CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA WILL REINFORCE PRESENT LOCATION OF FRONT. WILL ALLOW FOR SLIGHT NORTHWARD DRIFT OF FRONT. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW LARGE FETCH OF MID/HIGH LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE STREAMING NORTHEAST FROM SOUTHERN ROCKIES THROUGH MID MO RIVER VALLEY. AS NOTED YESTERDAY THIS WILL SUPPORT DEEP CONVECTION. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE TO DEAL WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL AND NUISANCE FLOODING. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES HAVE DROPPED TO THE 2 TO 2.5 INCH RANGE FROM SOUTHWEST CWA NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE MO RIVER. DOPPLER RADAR STORM TOTALS SHOW 1 TO 2 INCH RAINS WERE COMMON SOUTH OF A MCI TO MOBERLY LINE. A BAND OF HEAVY RAINFALL BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES WAS ESTIMATED TO HAVE FALLEN FROM HIGGINSVILLE TO BETWEEN MOBERLY AND BOONVILLE. DURING THE AFTERNOON AM EXPECTING TO SEE MORE SURFACE BASED CONVECTION FORM NEAR THE QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY NEAR THE MO RIVER AS AIRMASS BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALSO HINTS AT A WEAK VORTICITY LOBE OVER THE WESTERN TX PANHANDLE AND ANOTHER MORE STRUNG OUT LOBE OVER CENTRAL KS. THIS LATTER FEATURE IS PROGGED TO AID THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT. SOUTH OF BOUNDARY COULD SEE SOME BREAKS IN CLOUDINESS SO IT IS POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN CWA TO SEE 90 THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHERN MO WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH UPPER 70S. WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS FOR TONIGHT OVER ALL BUT FAR NORTHERN MO AS UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE FIELD ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT REAR QUAD OF BROAD JET STREAK SHIFTS EASTWARD. SHOULD SEE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS TONIGHT. IF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS TODAY DAYSHIFT MAY NEED TO CONSIDER FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PLAYER IN OUR WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY AS IT REFUSES TO MOVE FAR ENOUGH AWAY. SERIES OF WEAK IMPULSES ALONG WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT OF POST FRONTAL ELEVATED CONVECTION OVER SOUTHER HALF OF CWA. HAVE RAISED POPS ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR EXPECTED RAINS. MJ && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

MINOR FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM THROUGH MONDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED. NRR
