NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 29, 2:45 PM CST, 5 hours 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 345 PM CDT TUE AUG 29 2006 .DISCUSSION... IMMEDIATE FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH ISOLATED LOW TOPPED CONVECTION OVER MOST OF THE CWA THROUGH SUNSET. RADAR NOW SHOWING A FEW CELLS POPPING UP ALONG THE MO/IA BORDER. SHOULD SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA WHERE MLCAPE RANGE FROM 500-1000J KG. ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND PASSAGE OF MID LEVEL TROUGH. BROKEN MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL CLEAR OFF WITH PASSAGE OF ABOVE TROUGH. FOG WILL BE A CONCERN OVERNIGHT DUE TO WET SOIL/MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER AND RADIATIONAL COOLING UNDER SURFACE RIDGE. FOG SHOULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD BUT NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE DENSE EXCEPT FOR THE TYPICAL COLD AIR DRAINAGE SPOTS SUCH AS RIVER VALLEYS. NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS LOOK TO BE SUPER AS SURFACE RIDGE WITH ITS EASTERLY WINDS AND SINKING MOTION ON BACK SIDE OF RETREATING UPPER TROUGH PROVIDE MINIMAL CLOUD COVER AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. MJ THE MAIN FOCUS IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY ENTERING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...AND ITS EVENTUAL IMPACT TO THE FORECAST AREA. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AGREE THAT THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO CUTOFF AS IT REACHES THE NORTHERN PLAINS. HOWEVER...THERE IS A SPREAD IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS AS TO HOW FAR SOUTHWEST TO DEVELOP THE CLOSED LOW...AND SUBSEQUENTLY HOW FAST TO TRANSLATE IT EASTWARD. IN AGREEMENT WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES AND HPC...HAVE TRENDED THE LATTER HALF OF THE FORECAST TOWARD THE 00Z GFS SOLUTION. THIS IMPLIES AN UPPER CYCLONE PLACEMENT TO THE NORTHEAST FROM THE SUBSEQUENT MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS...WITH BETTER AGREEMENT TO TELECONNECTIONS AND THE NCEP ENSEMBLE MEAN. IN TERMS OF SENSIBLE WEATHER...HAVE INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES A BIT ACROSS THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...AND ACROSS THE EASTERN FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THESE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE TIED TO INSTABILITY IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM...FOLLOWED BY THE SURFACE FRONT SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE AREA. RATHER CLOUDY SKIES ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT IN ADVANCE OF THE CENTER OF THE CLOSED UPPER LOW. INTERMITTENT PRECIPITATION CHANCES MAY CONTINUE FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AND HAVE BEGUN TO TREND THE FORECAST AS SUCH. WITH THE COLD CORE OF THE UPPER LOW NEARING THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. STOFLET && .PREV DISCUSSION... 300 AM... EVE UPPER AIR AS WELL AS MOISTURE IMAGERY AND PROFILERS DEPICT THE UPPER SHEAR AXIS FM WRN IA SW TO CNTRL KS. CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND OHIO VALLEY SFC LOW CONTINUED TO PRODUCE A LARGE AREA OF STRATUS AND STRATOCU FM ERN NEB AND ERN KS EAST THROUGH THE CWA. THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY PERSIST UNTIL THE UPPER SHEAR AXIS PASSES TO THE EAST TONIGHT. THE UPPER COLD POOL WILL PROGRESS THE NRN CWA TODAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR INSTABILITY SHOWERS DURING THE AFTN HOURS. MAIN INHIBITING FACTOR WILL BE SUFFICIENT AFTN HEATING. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES WILL BE MET. THEREFORE WILL KEEP POPS LOW. CAPE IS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW 500 J/KG...SO KEPT PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS. THE CLOUD COVER WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST TNGT WITH THE ERN GRIDS NOT CLEARING UNTIL LATE. THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR FOG...ESPECIALLY THE WRN GRIDS. HOWEVER...FCST WRF SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT SPECIFIC HUMIDITIES DECREASE WITH HEIGHT IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THIS SUGGESTS THAT MOISTURE WOULD CONDENSE AS DEW. BUT WITH MOIST GROUND...BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERN...EVE UPR AIR SHOWED A H8 COLD POCKET ACROSS ERN NEB. ONLY A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TODAY...WHICH WILL MAKE TEMP FORECASTING A LITTLE TOUGH. TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND A COUPLE OF CATEGORIES ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE RETURN OF SUNSHINE. GUIDANCE TEMPS LOOK OK. DB && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO EAX
