AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1201 AM CDT SUN JUN 13 2004 ...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION... CONVECTION BEGINNING TO INCREASE ACROSS THE CWA AS OUTFLOWS FROM STORMS IN KANSAS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.

CORFIDI VECTORS INDICATED STORMS WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTH WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR BACK BUILDING CELLS. THIS IS EVIDENT WITH THE STORMS OVER CENTRAL KANSAS. 45KT 850MB JET INTERACTING WITH THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SLOWLY MOVING SOUTH WITH STORMS BUILDING TO THE SOUTHWEST ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THINK THAT THE 850MB JET WILL LAY OVER FROM THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST AND PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION OVER THE CWA. FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY INCREASE ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. STORMS OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI AND SE KANSAS PRODUCING WINDS TO 50-60 MPH.
