What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jul 5, 3:58 PM CDT	HAIL 0.75	Nevada, MO	REPORTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 8.7 hours before the alert went out and 100 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
339 PM CDT MON JUL 5 2004

.DISCUSSION...

PREVIOUS MESOSCALE DISCUSSION REGARDING NEAR TERM...

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS/VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP INDICATES THAT
SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LEFTOVER FROM NOCTURNAL DERECHO AND OTHER
CONVECTION ARE QUICKLY ERODING WITH TIME. AIRMASS OVER SRN MO HAS
RECOVERED REMARKABLY WELL OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS AS STRONG
INSOLATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH 15-20 KNOTS OF MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW
HAS RESULTED IN A VERY UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER WITH 100MB MLCAPES
NOW APPROACHING 3000 M2/S2 PER SPECIAL 18Z KSGF SOUNDING AND RUC2
OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS.

ALTHOUGH WARM SECTOR AIRMASS IS PRESENTLY CAPPED BY A SIGNIFICANT
WARM LAYER BETWEEN 825-750MB...DEEP CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE FORCED
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS BY MODEST BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE OVER
SW MO/SE KS ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BEING MAINTAINED BY WEAK ELEVATED
CONVECTION TO THE NORTH AND WEST. A SECOND POTENTIAL FOCUS AREA
EXISTS IN THE VICINITY OF REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY/CUMULUS
CONGESTUS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.

SHOULD BOUNDARY LAYER BASED CONVECTION DEVELOP...BACKED LOW LEVEL
WINDS AHEAD OF SUB-SYNOPTIC LOW OVER NRN OKLAHOMA COMBINED WITH 45
KNOTS MID LEVEL FLOW HAS RESULTED IN DEEP LAYER SHEAR THAT IS MORE
THAN SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED STORMS. VERY STEEP 750-500MB LAPSE
RATES...AUGMENTED BY POTENTIAL FOR STORM SCALE ROTATION...WILL
SUPPORT RAPID/SUSTAINED UPDRAFT GROWTH...SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL
FOR VERY LARGE HAIL. POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR A FEW VERY DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS GIVEN A VERY DRY MID TROPOSPHERE AND STEEP THETA-E LAPSE
RATES. CANNOT EXCLUDE A LOW TORNADO PROBABILITY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR ALONG PRE-EXISTING THERMAL BOUNDARIES AND
MODEST LOW LEVEL BUOYANCY WITH 0-3KM CAPES > 200 J/KG.

DR. BOOKBINDER

FRESH DISCUSSION...

AFTER ANY DAYTIME CONVECTION WANES THIS EVENING WE SHOULD SEE A
BREAK LOCALLY...BUT IT LOOKS TO BE A BRIEF BREAK AS IT LOOKS LIKE WE
COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG VORT MAX AND ASSOCIATED SPEED MAX
OVER WYOMING THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION ALREADY BEGINNING TO EXPLODE
IN ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE...AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND
EVENTUALLY CONGEAL INTO AN MCS THIS EVENING AS 40KT+ LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS AND FEEDS THIS SYSTEM OVERNIGHT. THIS MCS WILL HAVE AN
EXPANSIVE REGION OF MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS DOWNSTREAM...AND ONCE
A COLD POOL DEVELOPS THE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY ACCELERATE
SOUTHEASTWARD. APPEARS AS THOUGH PORTIONS OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY
WESTERN PORTIONS COULD BE DEALING WITH ANOTHER BOW ECHO/POSSIBLE
DERECHO LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. CORFIDI VECTORS SUGGEST
THE BRUNT OF THIS SYSTEM COULD REMAIN JUST WEST OF OUR CWA...BUT IT
WILL BE CLOSE AND CERTAINLY CLOSE ENOUGH TO WARRANT LIKELY POPS.

GUT FEELING IS THAT MORNING CONVECTION WILL THOROUGHLY WORK THE
ATMOSPHERE OVER MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR RE-DEVELOPMENT TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT SO JUST
BLANKETED LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE BOARD TOMORROW.

FRONT SHOULD MAKE IT THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY EVENING WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS ADVECTING IN AND ENDING THE
CONVECTIVE THREAT. THAT IS UNTIL A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD WITH
THE CHANCE OF MCS DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAA REGIME LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. CONFIDENCE IS LOW SO ONLY INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS AT THIS TIME.

NO CHANGES MADE TO GOING EXTENDED GRIDS.

DR. IZZI

&&

.AVIATION...

WILL CONCENTRATE ON FIRST SEVERAL HOURS WITH REGARD TO CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL. EXTREMELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE COULD BE BROKEN AS
SHORTWAVE OVER FAR NERN OK AND SERN KANSAS MOVES IN AND COOLS 750 MB
CAP BY A COUPLE DEGREES. EVEN IF CAP DOESNT BREAK, ONGOING ELEVATED
CONVECTION NEAR KJLN WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE CGS THROUGH THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN POSSIBLE VERY LATE TONIGHT
INTO TOMORROW MORNING, BUT THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED WITH LATER
UPDATES.

100 PM CDT MON JUL 5 2004

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND EXTREME
SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  THUNDERSTORMS...SOME MAY PRODUCE:
    DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH.
    HAIL UP TO THE SIZE QUARTERS.
    AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

  THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

  DISCUSSION:

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MOVE ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS
  AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH
  LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

  YET ANOTHER COMPLEX OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
  OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS EVENING...AND THEN MOVE INTO THE
  OUTLOOK AREA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THESE
  THUNDERSTORMS COULD REMAIN SEVERE AS THEY MOVE INTO THE
  AREA...WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. HEAVY RAINFALL
  COULD ALSO LEAD TO FLOODING PROBLEMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

  STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ONGOING TUESDAY MORNING.
  ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP TUESDAY
  AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THIS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT HOW THUNDERSTORMS
  DURING THE MORNING ALTER THE ATMOSPHERE.

  THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
  THURSDAY MORNING AS A WARM FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
