058 FXUS63 KEAX 292052 AFDEAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 352 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Widespread rainfall amounts of 2-3 inches has fallen since early this morning, with additional 1 to 2 inches overnight. A Flash Flood watch is in effect through Noon on Monday. * A slight risk severe thunderstorms into the overnight hours primarily west of US Highway 65. Primary risks remain damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall. * Through the upcoming week, expect slightly cooler temperatures and less humid. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 320 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 A rather messy day all around with showers and thunderstorms moving through the forecast area through the entire day. This has limited heating for the day as well as shifted the timing of the potential thunderstorm activity to later overnight into Monday morning time period. Thunderstorm activity initially initiated along the low level jet early this morning which majority of the storms were sub- severe but bringing brief heavy rainfall across Doniphan county and then additional storms produced heavy rainfall over Leavenworth. A vigorous convective system moved southward from IA/MO into north western MO and northeast KS, in which the new convective storms initiated along the the outflow boundaries from those storms. So we had several rounds of precipitation, especially within the KC metro area and Leavenworth county. One of the storms that developed and moved east was a stronger storm that moved from Topeka which brought another round of precipitation to the KC Metro area along with some wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph. As it moved eastward the convection that had the greatest environment with Miami, Linn, Bates and Henry counties had more heating potential with the lack of cloud cover which allowed stronger storms from 1-3pm, but also produced heavy rain 2-3 inches of rainfall to west central MO. Now for the additional messy part, is that current CAMs are a bit all over the place in terms of thunderstorm activity. There is anticipated to additional thunderstorm activity to develop in KS with an expected MCS and move into MO so the severe potential and heavy rainfall from the storms in the late overnight into early morning hours on Monday. The harder part for example such as the HRRR model also changes location as well as the timing further later. What confidence do have is that there a severe potential that shifted later, so 3am to 10am with the main threats being damaging winds and with the warmer and moist environment can easily see heavy precipitation across an area (mainly west of Highway 65) in which already had widespread rainfall of 2-3 inches already. Additional precipitation amounts for through tomorrow morning are the 1 to 2 inches. Thankfully one of the good things is that the temperatures and humidity relief that will occur in the upcoming work week ahead through mid week with high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s and low temperatures in the 60s. Unfortunately the heat returns on Thursday reaching back into the upper 80s into lower 90s. However the weather pattern is relatively dry or low end chance of precipitation 15-20%. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Scattered thunderstorms earlier this morning from the system moving southward from IA/MO with outflow boundaries igniting more development.Unfortuantely messy forecast situation with the TAFs. For the TAF sites KSTJ has cleared out of storms but for the other 3 have linger thunderstorms that should move out after 19-20z. For areas north central MO storms continue to move east with linger showers from line KIRK and KMBY. While much of the environment has been worked over by the current storms extending afternoon, still have a slight risk of thunderstorms developing primarily areas west of US Highway 65 which. CAMs models are highly uncertain but have placed Prob30 from 03z-06z then from 06z have TAF sites with predominant -TSRA. Again confidence through the earlier time periods reason for prob30 but better confidence in the overnight activity into tomorrow morning after 06z. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
