AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 411 AM CDT FRI MAY 25 2007 .DISCUSSION... EARLY THIS MORNING...THE SURFACE FRONT HAD PUSHED SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...ROUGHLY FROM SPRINGFIELD TO SOUTH OF THE SAINT LOUIS METRO AREA. SCATTERED SHOWERS WERE FOUND BEHIND THE SURFACE BOUNDARY NEAR THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AT 850MB. THE BOUNDARY LOOKS TO STALL TODAY...THEN BEGIN A NORTHWARD RETURN AS A WARM FRONT BY EVENING. WILL KEEP POPS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A KANSAS CITY TO MACON LINE TODAY. CHANCES WILL INCREASE AS ONE MOVES SOUTH...DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BOUNDARY AND BETTER MOISTURE. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE SCATTERED IN NATURE...THEREFORE KEPT POPS IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE. AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PUSH INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT...CAUSING SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND LIFTING THE FRONT NORTHWARD. BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND THETA-E ADVECTION WILL BE ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST LOCATIONS WITH BETTER FORCING EVEN FURTHER NORTH INTO NEBRASKA AND IOWA. GRIDDED POPS WILL TREND FROM SLIGHTS FAR SOUTH TO AROUND 40 PERCENT ALONG THE IOWA BORDER. FOR SATURDAY...INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS NORTHWEST AREAS AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL REACH THIS AREA TOWARD AFTERNOON...THEN STALL SOMEWHERE IN THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT. DID GO AHEAD AN INCREASE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT AS WELL. HOWEVER...ONLY WENT WITH HIGH END CHANCES UNTIL IT CAN BE DETERMINED EXACTLY WHERE THE BOUNDARY STALLS. KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE BOUNDARY STALLED NEAR THE FORECAST AREA. WILL HAVE TO WATCH HOW THIS PATTERN DEVELOPS. WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE...SEVERAL ROUNDS OF CONVECTION THIS WEEKEND COULD AGGRAVATE FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. LATEST HPC 3-DAY QPF TOTALS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY INDICATE TOTAL AMOUNTS APPROACHING 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS FOR TEMPS...DIDNT CHANGE TOO MUCH FROM THE GOING FORECAST. SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...AND CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY KEEP HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S TODAY. SATURDAY TEMPERATURES MAY BE A BIT TRICKY DUE TO THE APPROACHING FRONT. KEPT HIGHS A A FEW DEGREES COOLER ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST LOCATIONS...WITH UPPER 70S ELSEWHERE. ON SUNDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE HUNG UP SOMEWHERE NEAR THE FORECAST AREA...WITH MID TO LOWER 70S LIKELY NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND LOWER 80S TO THE SOUTH. SAW && AVIATION... FRONT STARTING TO STALL IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI WITH STRATUS DECK JUST SOUTH OF KANSAS CITY TAF SITES. EXPECT THIS DECK TO START MOVING BACK NORTH IN THE MORNING AS LOW LEVEL WINDS START TO VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY MENTION OF LOWER VISIBILITIES OR SHOWERS WITH THIS CLOUD DECK AS THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LIFT OVER THIS FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME DRIZZLE OR VERY LIGHT RAIN OCCUR BY FRIDAY EVENING AS CEILINGS LOWER INTO AN MVFR CATEGORY.
