AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 152 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2023 .Discussion... Issued at 139 PM CDT FRI JUN 2 2023 Overview: Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms expected again Friday afternoon. Severe weather is not expected but a few storms could have brief heavy downpours or an isolated wind gust. Minor rain chances are expect on Saturday afternoon in western parts of the area. Dry conditions return for the end of the weekend into next week with temperatures near 90 each day. Today: Today our weather pattern is dominated by slow moving mid level high situated over the north-central United States. It's influence has lead to continued weak upper pattern with little in the way of forcing. Because of that, today is expected to be a near repeat of Thursday. Our area can expect mostly dry weather through the early afternoon, with highs expected to climb to near 90. Expecting the area to reach convective temperatures again this afternoon leading to isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm activity into the evening. With barley any shear to work with, expect storms to be pulsy in nature. PWAT values remain in the 1.5" range, so the storms will be quite efficient leading to brief periods of heavy downpours. Severe weather is not expected, however a few storms may be capable of producing isolated wind gusts up to 40 mph or so. Like yesterday, these storms will not be widespread, so a dry afternoon is not out of the question for some. Shower and thunderstorms activity expected to diminish after sunset today. Saturday: As we head into Saturday, the upper high will shift east a bit centering over the northern Plains. Additionally, a shortwave will move north from Oklahoma during the day. This will shift the primary focus for precipitation potential slightly to the west. However western parts of the area will still see low end chances for showers and thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon. Similar to previous days, widespread activity or severe weather are not expected. Sunday into Next Week: Some minor precipitation chances can be expected on Sunday but generally expect dryer conditions as winds turn to northeasterly and drier air filters in. Temperatures near 90 can be expected in the afternoon. Mainly dry conditions can be expected heading into next week with temperatures near 90s through mid-week. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 1222 PM CDT FRI JUN 2 2023 Isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorms activity expected across the area this afternoon.
