Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 5:16 PM CST, 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 616 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019 .Discussion... Issued at 318 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2019 Weak boundary draped across eastern Nebraska eastward into Iowa will be the focus for convection this afternoon. Strong instability along and ahead of the front with 0-6 km shear between 30 and 40 kts will support storm organization and severe potential this afternoon. As of 230 this afternoon, storms initialized in eastern Nebraska and Iowa, along the boundary. Initial storms will be supportive of large hail, damaging winds and few tornadoes. The main uncertainty is how these storms evolve with time later this afternoon and this evening. With where the storms have developed, in a stretch for relatively strong easterly flow aloft, they should tend to propagate east to east southeastward. This motion will limit just how far south storms may get in our forecast area. Additionally, forecast soundings across the southern half of the forecast area show convective inhibition holding firm and not being overcome. This makes sense given the height rises and strong warm advection at the base of the elevated mixed layer. With all this in mind, have scaled back PoPs across the southern half of the forecast area this evening and into the overnight. If storms can develop further to the west southwest, over south central Nebraska and north central Kansas, storm motions would favor storms moving into east central Kansas and west central Missouri later this evening. Quieter weather is expected for the later half of the work week. There may be isolated to scattered, mainly diurnal showers and storms. But the chances for anything widespread look low at this point. Upper-level ridging will build across the eastern two-thirds of the country late in the week through the weekend. This will support temperatures warming into the upper 80s to middle 90s by Sunday. Humidity will also be relatively high so we'll see heat indices climb into the upper 90s across the area. && .Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening) Issued at 616 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2019 Storms will remain primarily along the IA/MO this evening and tonight, generally north of all terminals. Ceilings will remain VFR and winds should remain out of the south, although 10-30 degrees of backing is possible while wind speeds decrease this evening. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
