AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
325 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2005

.DISCUSSION...

INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA TO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. 18Z SOUNDING FOR SGF SHOWED
CAPE VALUES AROUND 2800 J/KG WITH NO CAP. WIND PROFILE HAS DECENT
SPEED SHEAR WITH LITTLE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR. LATEST RADAR SHOWS BROKEN
LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING FROM MORGAN COUNTY SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHWEST GREENE COUNTY WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS TRAVELLING QUICKLY
TO THE NORTHEAST. COORDINATED WITH SPC...TORNADO WATCH WILL BE OUT
THROUGH 11 PM FOR ALL AREAS EXPECT BOURBON COUNTY.

AS FOR FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER OUR WESTERN COUNTIES...WILL LIKELY LET
IT EXPIRE AT 6 PM. STILL WOULD LIKE TO WATCH FOR ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE COLD FRONT BEFORE MAKING FINAL CALL ON WHETHER
OR NOT TO EXTEND.

AS UPPER LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO MINNESOTA TONIGHT...COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION...FINALLY CLEARING OUT THE
QUASI-RESIDENT UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION. EXPECT MUCH MORE
BENIGN WEATHER AS PACIFIC HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES
ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 3-5 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE PAST FEW
DAYS...BUT DEWPOINT TEMPS WILL DROP TO AROUND 60 DEGREES.

AFTERNOON EARLY TUESDAY...ONLY CHANCE FOR PRECIP THROUGH FRIDAY
APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY...AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE OVERRIDES UPPER RIDGE
BUILDING TO OUR WEST. FOR NOW WILL ONLY CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
OVER OUR EXTREME SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. LATER IN THE EXTENDED...GFS
HINTS AS AN UPPER LOW DEVELOPING SOUTHWESTWARD FROM THE NORTHEAST
U.S. WHICH MAY BRING OUR CHANCES FOR AT LEAST AFTERNOON STORMS BACK
TO THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

AN UNUSUALLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM COMBINED WITH A COLD
FRONT OVER KANSAS WILL TRIGGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS

  HOWEVER...ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL. IN
  ADDITION...SOME MINOR FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE. RAINFALL TOTALS
