Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 1:53 PM CST, 4 hours 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 253 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019 .Discussion... Issued at 251 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2019 Main focus in the short-term is potential for thunderstorms late this afternoon into the overnight hours. Departing shortwave trough over Illinois has temporarily resulted in subsidence in its wake, noted by lack of cumulus field. The approach of another weak wave has helped spawn agitated cumulus along and just behind a surface cold front in far northern Kansas and southern Nebraska into far northern Missouri. Convection is expected to continue to grow with time within this zone, and CAMs suggest more expansive development along the front later this evening as the boundary sags towards the Interstate 70 corridor. Environment is characterized by weakening CIN and increasing instability, and with marginally supportive deep layer shear for organized storms, strong to severe storms will remain a possibility through the mid-evening hours. The primary severe weather threats will be large hail early in the storm evolution, transitioning to periodic damaging wind gusts. A broken line of storms is expected to approach the KC Metro/Interstate 70 corridor between 10pm and midnight. As convection shifts south of the Interstate, nocturnal cooling and cold-pool imbalance should aid in a gradual weakening trend of storm organization and intensity. Cold front is anticipated to slide south towards the southern forecast area by midday Sunday. This should keep best thunderstorm chances Sunday and Monday generally south of Interstate 70. Next best chance for widespread thunderstorms arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday as the next upper trough approaches the area. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1219 PM CDT SAT JUN 15 2019 VFR expected through the period. Main challenge is thunderstorm probability and timing - still expected just before/around midnight at terminals. Overall impacts at terminal space should be limited. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && Discussion...Blair Aviation...Blair
