NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 15, 2:00 AM CST, 6 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 200 AM CST TUE FEB 15 2005 .DISCUSSION... TEMPERATURES AND THE THREAT OF ANY LIGHT PRECIPITATION ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM. LATEST MOISTURE IMAGERY INDICATES AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND PACIFIC NW. GFS A LITTLE BETTER INITIALIZED WITH BETTER DEFINED TROUGH AXIS IN THE PACIFIC NW. AT THE SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT HAS MOVED SOUTHEAST INTO NW MO WITH A SFC LO IN SOUTHWEST KS. ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 295-300K SURFACE WAS TRIGGERING SCT RW ACROSS THE EXTREME EAST CENTRAL AND NE PORTIONS OF THE CWA. NAM HANDLING SITUATION QUITE WELL WITH THE ISENTROPIC LIFT SHIFTING EAST OF THE CWA BY DAYBREAK. WILL LIKELY CONTINUE LOW THREAT OF SHOWERS FOR THE MORNING FOR THIS AREA. OTHERWISE...H7-H5 FRONTOGENESIS WAS TRIGGERING A NARROW BAND OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS NRN NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN IOWA. GFS ACTUALLY HANDLING THIS AREA OF PRECIPITATION BETTER THAN THE NAM...THEREFORE PREFER SLIGHTLY MORE BULLISH GFS PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR THE NRN CWA TODAY. AS PER THE GFS...THE FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING SHIFTS SE INTO THE NRN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS. WILL KEEP POPS ON THE LOW SIDE AS MOISTURE IS LIMITED...UPPER QG FORCING IS WEAK...AND THE AREA WITHIN A REGION OF ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE. FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING DIMINISHES QUICKLY THIS EVENING AS THE AREA OF FORCING SHIFTS ESE. MAY SEE A FEW SPRINKLES FOR WEST CENTRAL ZONES THIS EVENING...BUT ONLY PLAN TO MENTION A CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE EXTREME NE AND EAST CENTRAL ZONES THIS EVENING. ANY RAIN SHOULD END BEFORE TEMPERATURES APPROACH FREEZING. HAVE ALSO RAISED TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AS AIR MASS NOT PARTICULARLY COLD. TEMPERATURES ALSO ADJUSTED A LITTLE HIGHER FOR TONIGHT. MODELS ALSO SUGGEST THAT A WEAK DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF SECONDARY COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES DEPENDENT UPON THE EXTENT OF ANY MID OR HIGH CLOUDS ON WEDNESDAY...PLAN TO BOOST TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY. DB && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... 355 PM... UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM CO PLUS ISENTROPIC LIFT ON 300K SURFACE EXPECTED TO GENERATE A GOOD DEAL OF MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. MOISTURE IS LIMITED BUT AGREE WITH 12Z/18Z ETA QPF THAT PATCHY LIGHT RAIN IS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN MO TONIGHT AS FRONTOGENETIC FORCING INCREASES. MAV/ETA MOS LOW TEMPERATURES LOOK REASONABLE AS CLOUD COVER AND SLOWER ARRIVAL OF COLD AIR KEEPS TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING TOO FAR. TIMING OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND HOW FAST COLD AIR FILTERS ALSO PRESENTS A CHALLENGE ON MAX TEMPERATURES TOMORROW. WEAK FRONTOGENETIC FORCING BUT INCREASING POST FRONTAL MOISTURE SUGGESTS GOING WITH LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN THIRD OF CWA IN THE AFTERNOON. FURTHER NORTH TO ABOUT THE MO RIVER WILL ONLY MENTION SPRINKLES. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE BUILDS IN FOR MID WEEK WITH A SECOND SHOT OF COLD AIR ADVECTION MOVING IN WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY. LOOKING DRY THROUGH MID WEEK WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL TEMPERATURES. MJ SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY... YIELDING HIGH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND NORMAL FOR MID FEBRUARY. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE A FEW DEGREES ON FRIDAY AHEAD OF A SURFACE FRONT...WHICH IS PROGGED TO PASS ACROSS THE CWA ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FEATURE IS FORECAST TO STALL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTS FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. MEDIUM RANGE MODEL AGREEMENT AND GFS RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY ARE DECENT...SO HAVE INCREASED POPS TO 50 PERCENT ON SATURDAY...AND ADDED CHANCE POPS TO SUNDAY AS WELL. TEMPERATURE PROFILES CURRENTLY INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN AND SNOW DURING THE EVENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH THE SURFACE FRONT ALIGNED CLOSE TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF EAX.
