NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 4:44 AM CST, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 544 AM CDT Tue Jun 13 2023 .Discussion... Issued at 259 AM CDT TUE JUN 13 2023 Key messages: - Warming trend through midweek. - Next chance for thunderstorms arrive Thursday night into Friday. Severe weather is not expected at this time. Discussion: This morning, a weak surface ridge of high pressure remains over the area making for very pleasant temperatures with lows in the mid 50s. Northwest flow aloft will continue to prevail with light westerly flow at the surface. Height rises and mostly sunny skies will allow temperatures to return to near normal in the lower 80s. Height rises will continue into Wednesday as a upper level ridge will slide east from the Rockies into the central and northern Plains. As such, highs will rise into the mid 80s. Thursday the upper ridge continues to slide eastward with the ridge axis moving directly over the area late in the day Thursday. This will allow temperatures to move above normal with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Late Thursday night into Friday, a weak upper level shortwave will round the upper level ridge and move into the central Plains this will spark convection in our western zones by late Thursday night and spread eastward on Friday. The upper level trough will slowly move from Nebraska into Iowa Friday night continuing thunderstorm chances. That upper level shortwave eventually weakens as it gets absorbed by the upper level ridge. However, another shortwave will build into the central Plains in its wake on Saturday, continuing thunderstorm chances. Saturday night, the upper level shortwave moves over the area, moisture and lift will be enhanced by a nocturnal LLJ however, there is some question as to where the nose of this jet will reside. The EC and Canadian keep the LLJ across southern Missouri and consequently the heavy rain south of the forecast area. The GFS is further north with the LLJ and produces a large MCS over the forecast area with the potential to bring heavy rain with PWAT values in the 1.50"- 1.75" range. Right now the GFS does appear to be the outlier but this will need to be monitored in future runs. Showers will continue into Sunday before finally exiting the area bringing a dry end to the weekend and beginning of the next work week. && .Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 544 AM CDT TUE JUN 13 2023 VFR conds will prevail thru the pd as just ocnl high clouds are expected.
