.DISCUSSION...

PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGES INCLUDE CHANCE FOR PATCHY FROST EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING AND CHANCES FOR RAIN SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

FIRST TRUE FALL AIRMASS CONTINUES TO BUILD IN THIS MORNING...WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S BEING WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE CWA. SURFACE
HIGH WILL SETTLE IN OVER THE REGION TODAY INTO TONIGHT. WITH LIGHT
WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL OCCUR...
ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MO. WAA AT 925 MB
COMMENCES OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN MO THURSDAY NIGHT...AND
SOME DOWNWARD RADIATION COULD CHECK THE SURFACE COOLING THERE. TO
THE EAST...CONDITIONS COULD ALLOW PATCHY FROST TO FORM. ONLY
NEGATIVE FOR THIS MAY BE THE VERY WARM SEPTEMBER THAT WE HAVE
HAD...NEARLY 6 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SO FAR...SO GROUND TEMPERATURES
ARE LIKELY RUNNING ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. GIVEN THAT...WILL OPT TO
NOT INCLUDE MENTION OF FROST AT THIS TIME.

CUTOFF LOW OVER SRN ROCKIES WILL TRACK SLOWLY EASTWARD AND APPROACH
THE CWA THIS WEEKEND. GFS...ECMWF...AND NAM/DGEX OUTPUT ALL SHOW THE
LOW OPENING UP AS IT PUSHES EASTWARD...BUT IT IS STILL ENERGETIC
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME QPF IN THE GFS AND NAM SOLUTIONS. ETA
SOMEWHAT SLOWER THAN OTHER SOLUTIONS...AND THIS LINGERS PRECIP
CHANCE INTO SUNDAY. WITH THE NAM SOLUTION THE SLOW OUTLIER...AM NOT
CONFIDENT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO INTRODUCE POPS SUNDAY...SO WILL
DEFER TO DAY SHIFT.

BOTH ECMWF AND GFS SEP29 00Z RUNS SHOW A VERY DEEP AND PROGRESSIVE
500 MB TROUGH MOVING INTO THE PLAINS BY MID WEEK. CHANCE POPS
WEDNESDAY LOOK GOOD FOR A START.
