NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 26, 2:45 PM CST, 9 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 345 PM CDT SAT AUG 26 2006 .DISCUSSION... IN THE NEAR TERM...NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN EXTREME NORTHEAST MISSOURI ASSOCIATION WITH MCV EXITING FORECAST AREA. DO NOT FEEL STORMS WILL AFFECT CFWA VERY LONG AND WILL COVER PRE-FIRST PERIOD WORDING. SURFACE FRONT HAS REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY TODAY...STRETCHING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS...THROUGH KC METRO TO NEAR KIRKSVILLE. MOISTURE POOLING ALONG FRONTAL ZONE HAS KEPT BULK OF FORECAST AREA UNDER COVER OF STRATUS MOST OF THE DAY WHICH HAS INHIBITED SUBSTANTIAL WARMUP. A FEW MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS HAVE ALLOWED VERY SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES TO WARM NEAR CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE...HOWEVER WITH MUCAPE VALUES AOB 1000 J/KG AND LACK OF UPPER FORCING MECHANISM...THREAT OF CONVECTION APPEARS MINIMAL. MAIN FORECAST ISSUE THIS EVENING WILL BE IN REGARD TO AVIATION FORECAST. STRATUS BEGINNING TO MIX OUT...BUT WITH MOISTURE POOLING IN THE VICINITY OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY...LIKELY WILL SEE REFORMATION OF MVFR STRATUS AND FOG AFTER SUNSET. OPERATIONAL WRF AND SHORT-TERM ENSEMBLES HIGHLIGHTING THE THREAT OF STORMS LATE TONIGHT. SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA LIKELY WILL EVOLVE INTO A COMPLEX THAT WILL MOVE NORTH NORTHEAST INTO EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREA IN THE 08-10 UTC TIME PERIOD. EXPECT ELEVATED CONVECTION TO FORM FURTHER NORTH OF COMPLEX WITH STRONG ISENTROPIC FORCING SPREADING CONVECTION AS FAR NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A MORE POTENT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL EJECT FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. APPROACHING SYSTEM WILL HELP LIFT BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI NROTHWARD AND WILL SUPPORT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF CONVECTION ACROSS FORECAST AREA. PROLONGED NATURE OF STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH HEAVY RAINFALL MAY REQUIRE ISSUANCE OF FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH BY LATER SHIFTS. AFTER CONSULTING SURROUDING OFFICES...CONFIDENCE OF CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION NOT GREAT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO ISSUE WATCH...SO BY CONSENSUS DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AT PRESENT TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL BE FAIRLY CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMALS...WITH SOME BELOW NORMAL VALUES ON MONDAY. SF/MD THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARD HOLDING BACK AND CUTTING OFF A PORTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST ON TUESDAY. THE CUTOFF UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO WANDER ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BEFORE PHASING WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST. WITH THE UPPER LOW BEING CAUGHT BENEATH THE EASTWARD SHIFTING RIDGE...THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO ITS NORTH/SOUTH PLACEMENT. WITH THE UPPER LOW EXPECTED TO BE JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY...HAVE INCLUDED SLIGHT PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI. THE NEGATIVE FACTORS THAT WOULD HINDER PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THIS TIME...ARE THE FORECAST AREA BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UNFAVORED LEFT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET...AND SOME DEGREE OF ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE BEING FORECAST BY THE GFS. TEMPERATURES FROM MID TO LATE WEEK WILL EXHIBIT A SLIGHT WARMING TREND...BUT SHOULD BE HELD TO AT OR BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS IN THE 80S. AN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL HEAD EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND PLAINS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AND PUSH THE UPPER RIDGE EAST. THE ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH WILL ALSO SEND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHEAST...PROGGED TO REACH THE FORECAST AREA BY THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND. HAVE INSERTED SOME SLIGHT PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR NOW...CONSIDERING THE TIMING OF THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY BE MODIFIED AS THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THIS SYSTEM. STOFLET .PREV DISCUSSION... /636 AM CDT SAT AUG 26 2006/ QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST FOR THE MORNING HOURS AND LATER TONIGHT. WIDE SPREAD CONVECTION HAS SLID OFF TO THE EAST THIS MORNING ALONG WITH THE MCV THAT DEVELOPED WITH IT ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE THE WARM AIR ADVECTION ACTIVITY TRAILING BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST HAS SETTLED TO OUR SOUTH. ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL KANSAS APPEARS TO BE TIED TO A SMALL WEAK SHORTWAVE FOLLOWING ON THE HEALS OF OF LAST NIGHTS SYSTEM. COVERAGE OF THESE STORMS IS A BIT SPOTTY OWING TO THE LOW LEVEL JET BEING FOCUSED FARTHER EAST... ACROSS MISSOURI. WITH THESE TRENDS I HAVE LOWERED OUR GOING LIKELY MORNING POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY...AND KEEP THEM THERE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. CUTTER && /329 AM CDT SAT AUG 26 2006/ POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEKEND REMAINS THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST. SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS A SHORTWAVE MOVING EAST THROUGH KANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI THIS MORNING. RADAR IMAGERY ILLUSTRATES THAT THE WAVE AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO SPIN UP A MCV ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. SURFACE FRONT APPEARS TO BE LOCATED ALONG A LINE FROM KIRKSVILLE TO ST JOSEPH TOWARDS WICHITA. TRAILING REGION OF RAIN EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF THE MCV SOUTHWEST INTO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND IS BEING FED BY ISENTROPIC LIFT SOUTH OF THE SURFACE FRONT. NAM-WRF IS THE PREFERRED MODEL EARLY THIS MORNING. GFS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK WHICH ADVERSELY EFFECTS THE MASS FIELDS. MODEL ADVERTISES THE RAIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MORNING PRECIP SHOULD PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH THE HELP OR THE MCV. THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA SHOULD GET SOME HELP FOR THE MORNING HOURS FROM PVA INDUCED BY A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE FOLLOWING OUR MCV...EVIDENT IN IN WATER VAPOR IN NEW MEXICO. HAVE LIKELY POPS GOING FOR THE MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AS A RESULT. BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS THE MCV WILL EXIT TO OUR NORTHEAST TAKING ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIP WITH IT. MEANWHILE THE PVA AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE...STILL WELL TO OUR WEST...WILL LIFT INTO NEBRASKA CUTTING OFF THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE WEST HALF OF THE CWA. ADJUSTED THE WEATHER FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS THROUGH MIDNIGHT INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY AS A RESULT. BY TONIGHT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE WALLOWING AROUND SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE FORECAST AREA. WRF FOCUSES PRECIP FARTHER WEST TONIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE IN NEW MEXICO LIFTS INTO KANSAS AHEAD OF THE CUTOFF LOW EXITING THE GREAT BASIN...POINTING THE LOW LEVEL JET AT CENTRAL KANSAS. STILL...DO NOT FEEL I CAN IGNORE THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT ALONG OUR SOUTHEAST EDGE GIVEN A SURFACE FRONTS EXPECTED LOCATION...AND DEW POINTS POOLED IN THE LOW 70S. THEREFORE...HAVE LEFT LIKELY POPS ALONG OUR SOUTHEAST EDGE FOR EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SUNDAY WILL SEE THE CUTOFF LOW MOVING INTO THE PLAINS WITH THE SURFACE FRONT SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI. WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI SUNDAY NIGHT...AND CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY. GREATEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE INITIAL WARM AIR PUSH AND FOCUS OF THE LOW LEVEL JET ON THE KANSAS MISSOURI STATE LINE. THEREFORE...UPPED POPS FOR THE SUNDAY NIGHT PERIODS INTO THE LIKELY RANGE...WITH THE MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RUNNING NEAR TWO INCHES. WILL REISSUE THE ESF AND EXTEND IT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. CONFIDENCE ON US GETTING ANOTHER WELL ORGANIZED LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHT IS NOT HIGH. LOCALIZED AREAS MAY EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST EDGE OF THE CWA...BUT CAN NOT SEE WIDE SPREAD FLOODING ISSUES AGAIN UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO GIVE THE LATER SHIFT A CHANCE TO EVALUATE REVISED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES IN LIGHT OF THE RAIN WE HAVE RECEIVED. CUTTER && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE.

ADDITIONALLY...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTERACTS WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY POSSIBLE AS THE RAIN ACCUMULATIONS INCREASE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT ANTICIPATED.
