NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 10, 11:42 AM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1142 AM CST Tue Nov 10 2020 .Discussion... Issued at 420 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2020 The cold front is currently draped across northwest MO to Kansas City, extending SSW from there toward southeastern Kansas. Showers are ongoing across NW Missouri and eastern Kansas, and these showers will continue to move the northeast over the next few hours, and will eventually take on a more eastward progression as the cold front currently across eastern Kansas swings west to east through the region this morning. A few thunderstorms may be possible later this morning as surface based instability will increase ever so slightly toward 500 J/kg. The front should be exiting the region to the east by around noon or shortly thereafter, with cloud cover thinning by this afternoon and clear skies returning by this evening. Temperatures this afternoon will vary widely, with NW Missouri remaining quite chilly and locations across central Missouri reaching the upper 60s to near 70 degrees before frontal passage later today. Surface high pressure will build in rapidly behind the cold front tonight, with clear skies and calm winds allowing for excellent radiational cooling. Overnight lows tonight will range from the mid 20s across northern Missouri with near 30 degrees elsewhere. Tranquil weather is expected for Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the 50s on Wednesday and a very subtle warm up on Thursday with highs reaching the 60 to the low 60s for locations south of Interstate 70. A quick moving shortwave trough will come across the Northern Plains and through the Upper Midwest on Thursday, and will send another reinforcing shot of cooler air through the region on Thursday evening, with surface high pressure building in over the region once again. This will make for another cold night on Thursday night into Friday morning, with lows ranging from the mid 20s to near 30 degrees. High temperatures on Friday will only rebound to the upper 40s to mid 50s. Another shortwave trough will approach the region from the southwest on Friday night into Saturday, and will bring another solid chance for showers overnight Friday into Saturday afternoon. This should quickly exit the region to the east by Saturday evening. Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday of next week, high temperatures at this time look to be in the 50s across much of the region under mostly clear skies. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1132 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2020 A line of showers and thunderstorms have moved into central Missouri early in the prevailing period. An IFR/MVFR stratus deck and gusty westerly winds have worked in behind this line of precipitation and cold frontal boundary. Satellite imagery is showing that the low stratus deck is trying to erode across Kansas as drier air works in. Skies should clear and winds falling under 10kt by 00Z as this quick moving upper level trough moves off towards the Great Lakes. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
