AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 318 PM CDT FRI AUG 26 2005 .DISCUSSION... HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE SHORT TERM CLOSELY THIS AFTN TO TRY AND PREDICT THE EVOLUTION OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE MAIN PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORKING WITH SEVERAL BOUNDARIES PRESENT FROM LAST NIGHT...ALL THE WHILE STANDING BY AS THE ATMOSPHERE TRIES TO DESTABILIZE. VIS SAT SHOWS THAT CU IS BUBBLING...BUT IS FAIRLY FLAT IN ALL BUT SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THE MAIN COLD FRONT CONVERGENCE IS WEAK AND JUST HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRIGGER ANY CONVECTION ALONG IT. FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE OUTFLOW/FRONT...STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP. AS CONVECTION PLACEMENT HAS FINALLY SHOWN ITS HAND...WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOWER POPS IN ALL BUT OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES IN CASE ANY STORMS ARE ABLE TO EDGE INTO THAT AREA. THE MOISTURE IS POOLING DOWN THERE...AND CAPES ARE IN THE THOUSANDS...SO THIS IS THE FAVORABLE SPOT IF THINGS WERE GOING TO FIRE. THERE IS STILL A LITTLE CAP THERE...SO WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN BREAK IT WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. THIS AREA IS ALSO WHERE WE HAVE RETAINED THE FLOOD WATCH. WE HAVE LEFT LOW POPS ELSEWHERE...AS DPTS ARE NEAR 70 AND THE FRONT IS NOT THROUGH YET. IT WOULD NOT BE RIGHT TO CALL THIS A COLD FRONT...AS COLDER TEMPS JUST DO NOT MAKE IT INTO THE AREA. H8 TEMPS ARE STILL NEAR 20 FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. HAVE GONE SLIGHTLY BELOW GUIDANCE FOR SAT/SUN...BUT STILL HAVE TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S...LOWS IN THE MID 60S. IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST...THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON ANOTHER COLD FRONT POISED TO COME THROUGH. THE MODELS ARE STARTING TO CONVERGE ON TIMING...THURSDAY-ISH. DGEX DEPICTS SOMETHING LIKE POST FRONTAL PRECIP...AND GFS IS DRY FROPA. THINK THE FRONT MAY MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CWA BY THURSDAY AFTN. THE 00Z GFS SHOWED THIS...WHILE THE 06Z WAS FASTER. HAVE PUT THE WIND SHIFT IN THE GRIDS...BUT ONLY WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SO FAR. FOR NOW... STILL HAVE TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ON THURS WHICH WILL NEED TO BE LOWERED IF THE TREND STARTS LOOKING MORE LIKE RAIN. H8 TEMPS DONT WARM MUCH IN THE EXTENDED...WITH READINGS LOOKING LIKE AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... 1250 PM... CONDITIONS LOOKING A LITTLE LESS FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE WELL NORTH OF AREA GIVING BETTER SUPPORT TO DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF MISSOURI...AND ONLY WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG FRONT IN THE AREA MAKING DEVELOPMENT LESS LIKELY IN NORTHERN MISSOURI. ALSO MORNING CLOUDS HAVE SLOWED WARM UP TODAY...SO MAY BE TOUGH TO REACH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES. IF SOMETHING DOES GO...WOULD LIKELY BE LATE IN THE DAY. CURRENTLY... BETTER DESTABILIZATION HAPPENING IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. WITH LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARY NOT THAT FAR SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA...WILL LEAVE HIGHEST POPS IN SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CWA. ALSO WILL LEAVE FLOOD WATCH GOING AS WE HAVE ALREADY PUT SEVERAL RIVERS INTO FLOOD AND IF RAIN DOES REDEVELOP...WOULD BE EASY TO SEE MORE FLOODING PROBLEMS. PC 320 AM... A CLOSED UPPER TROUGH OVER SOUTHERN MANITOBA IS THE MOST EVIDENT FEATURE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING...WHILE SEVERAL MORE SUBTLE SHORTWAVES ARE COMBINING WITH A DECENT FETCH OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TO FUEL A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA/KANSAS. ANOTHER AREA OF INTEREST ON LOCAL RADAR IMAGERY THIS MORNING IS ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE CWA...WHERE SHORTWAVE ENERGY HAS HELPED ORGANIZE ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE LINEAR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA/KANSAS SHOULD REACH NORTHWEST MISSOURI BETWEEN 4 AND 6 AM...AND SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. HAVE LIKELY POPS ORIENTED ACCORDINGLY. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON LULL IN CONVECTION IN THE WAKE OF THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY...WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING IN THE VICINITY OF THE COLD FRONT AND/OR POTENTIAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS ALSO FORECAST TO SHIFT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON...AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION. SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS AND ACCOMPANYING LOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES (HOURLY VALUES UNDER ONE INCH) ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA...COMBINED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FEED OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AND FOCI FOR PRECIPITATION...WARRANT CONTINUATION OF THE FLOOD WATCH AT LEAST UNTIL THIS EVENING. THE GFS IS INDICATING THAT PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING...SO HAVE PROLONGED PRECIPITATION INTO THE EVENING HOURS...AND MAY NEED TO EXTEND THE WATCH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS WELL. REGARDING THE SEVERE THREAT FOR TODAY...MAIN QUANDARIES ARE REGARDING EXACTLY WHERE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL LIE THIS AFTERNOON...AS WELL AS THE AFFECT OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS ON DESTABILIZATION. THE MAIN THREAT ACCOMPANYING STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO BECOME ORGANIZED/STRONGER WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...HAVE CONTINUED TO GO WITH THE COOLER GUIDANCE NUMBERS THROUGH SATURDAY. ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND AREAS OF PRECIP TODAY WILL KEEP TEMPS ON THE COOL SIDE. EXPECT 850MB THERMAL TROUGH WILL BE PASSING OVERHEAD ON SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...MODELS PROG ANOTHER VORT MAX ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LEVEL TROUGH...TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY...LEADING TO MORE CLOUD COVER THAN THE MODELS SUGGEST. LS/NRR && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT SATURDAY FOR MOZ043-MOZ053-MOZ054. KS...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT SATURDAY FOR KSZ057-KSZ060. WFO EAX
