AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 300 AM CST MON FEB 14 2005 .DISCUSSION... LATEST MOISTURE IMAGERY INDICATES AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING QUICKLY ENE TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES WITH SPLIT FLOW DOMINATING THE ERN PACIFIC AND WRN US. WITHIN THIS FLOW REGIME...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS MOVING SLOWLY EAST OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WITH AN UPPER TROUGH DROPPING SOUTHEAST INTO THE PACIFIC NW AND NRN ROCKIES. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST IS EXPECTED TO MOVE LITTLE THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH THE CONCERN BEING WHETHER THE TROUGH IN THE PACIFIC NW WILL TRIGGER ANY PRECIPITATION AS IT SHEARS EAST TOWARD THE UPR MISS VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN THE SHORT TERM...MAIN CONCERN IS HOW WARM TEMPERATURES WILL BE TODAY. IN THE SHORT TERM...LOW CLOUDS WERE GRADUALLY ERODING EAST AS PROFILERS INDICATING DRYING DOWNSLOPE FLOW FROM THE SFC-H8. DOWNSLOPE WARMING TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY AFTN WITH GOOD INSOLATION. THE DRY DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL QUICKLY ERODE THE CLOUD COVER FROM WEST TO EAST...SIMILAR TO THE NAM 925 RH GRIDS. GIVEN A RELATIVELY MILD START AND GOOD MIXING THROUGH H8 AS PER THE NAM...WILL HEDGE TOWARD THE WARMER MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR TODAY. MODELS HAVE TRENDED A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE UPPER TROUGH TO MOVE INTO THE NRN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. LITTLE FORCING SEEN TO MAINTAIN LOW THREAT OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE NRN ZONES TONIGHT...THEREFORE WILL REDUCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE. GFS/NAM SIMILAR IN INDICATING ONLY WEAK QG FORCING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. WEAK H8-H5 FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 290-295K SURFACES ACROSS MAINLY THE CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES TUESDAY AFTN AND ACROSS THE SE TUESDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...MOISTURE IS LIMITED. ALTHOUGH CHANCES ARE LOW AT THIS TIME...BEST COMBINATION OF LIFT AND SATURATION WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS THE SRN ZONES TUESDAY AFTN AND TUESDAY EVENING. ANY PRECIPITATION ON TUESDAY SHOULD BE IN THE LIQUID FORM AS THE COOLER AIR IS A LITTLE SLOWER TO ARRIVE WITH TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE FREEZING. OTHERWISE...COOLER AIR TO SLOWLY OOZE SOUTH INTO THE CWA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES A LITTLE TRICKY TUESDAY GIVEN FRONTAL TIMING AND GIVEN CLOUD COVER. FWC LOOKS A LITTLE TOO COLD WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONSENSUS YIELDING THE MAV GUIDANCE. ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE ALONG WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL QUICKLY ERODE CLOUD COVER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. DB && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... 410 PM... PASSAGE OF UPPER LOW PROLONGING ISO TO SCT SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT COVERAGE TO DECREASE WITH LOSS OF INSOLATION...AND EXPECT ONLY ISOLATED ACTIVITY AFTER 23 UTC. DUE TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED NATURE OF RAIN...WILL LET FLOOD WATCH EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED. NUMEROUS POINT FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT ACROSS FORECAST AREA...THUS FLW...RVS AND ESF PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MONITORED. STRATUS WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. STRATUS COUPLED WITH FAIRLY MILD TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS WILL KEEP READINGS FROM DROPPING OFF TOO MUCH OVERNIGHT. HAVE INCREASED FORECAST MINS SLIGHTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR LONGER DURATION OF STRATUS AND WARMER UPSTREAM TEMPERATURES. ISALLOBARIC GRADIENT REMAINS FAIRLY TIGHT OVERNIGHT...THUS EXPECT GUSTS AOA 20 KNOTS TO PERSIST UNTIL 02 OR 03 UTC...AFTER THAT SUSTAINED WIND IN THE 10 TO 15 KNOT RANGE EXPECTED. NICER DAY ON TAP FOR MONDAY WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND WARMING WEST TO SOUTHWEST BOUNDARY FLOW. LOW LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE EAST DURING THE DAY...BRINGING INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER WARM AIR ADVECTION ACROSS WESTERN PART OF CWA BY AFTERNOON. HAVE INCREASED FORECAST MAX TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY...USING BLEND OF GFS AND NAM THERMAL FIELDS. WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF WEAK SHORTWAVE AND MODEST ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BRING FORECAST LOW CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN THE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY TIMEFRAME. FORCING NOR DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IS NOT ALL TOO IMPRESSIVE AND GIVEN SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL DRY LAYER MAY ONLY SEE VIRGA OR SPRINKLES. WET-BULBS NEAR FREEZING MARK ACROSS NORTHERN PORTION OF CWA...THUS WORDING PRECIPITAITION AS RAIN OR SNOW MIX. DURATION OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE SHORT AND WITH ONLY MODEST EVAPORATIVE COOLING...EXPECT TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY TO CLIMB AT OR ABOVE COOLER MAV NUMBERS. SF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY IN THE WAKE OF TUESDAYS PASSING COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES DURING THAT TIME FRAME WILL BE COOLER THAN THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK BUT RIGHT AROUND NORMAL. ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT IS FORECAST TO SLIDE INTO THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY...AND THEN HANG UP JUST TO THE SOUTH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER IN HOW FAST TO MOVE THE FRONT ACROSS AND WHERE TO STALL THE FRONT THEREAFTER. HAVE INSERTED SLIGHT PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR FRIDAY AND 30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SATURDAY. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT STALLS...AND IN TURN HOW FAR SOUTH THE SHALLOW COLD AIRMASS NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT. FOR NOW HAVE PUT IN RAIN OR SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI/NORTHEAST KANSAS AND ALL RAIN ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS/MISSOURI FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. STOFLET && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
