AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
426 AM CST SAT APR 3 1999

FORECAST ISSUES: SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS MORNING.

WITH A TOUCH OF SEVERE WEATHER EARLIER THIS MORNING IN CHRISTIAN
COUNTY AND A WATCH BEING ISSUE FOR THE AREA...WL MAKE THIS AN
ABBREVIATED FORECAST DISCUSSION.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOPED OVER THE ERN TX PNHDL AND IN
WRN KANSAS HAVE CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EAST OVERNIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.

WHILE THE THUNDERSTORM LINE IS MOVING FARTHER AWAY FROM THE UPPER
JET SUPPORT...LOW LVL CONVERGENCE AND SOME HELP FROM AN
INTENSIFYING LOW LVL JET HAS ALLOWED STORMS TO PROPAGATE EAST.
I FEEL THAT MODERATE INSTABILITY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND
EXPECTED LOW LVL MSTR CONVERGENCE WL ALLOW THESE STORMS TO CONTINUE
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA.  ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
APPEAR LIKELY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE
AREA LATER TONIGHT.
