AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.DISCUSSION...
BROAD TROF COVERS THE WRN HALF OF THE U.S. WITH FIRST IN A SERIES
OF SGFNT SHORT WAVES LIFTING TOWARD OUR AREA. GULF MOISTURE RACING
TOWARD MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS WITH DWPTS INCREASING ABOUT A DEGREE
A HOUR FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI THROUGH ARKANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE ALREADY 8 DEG PER KM OR HIGHER ACROSS
WESTERN MISSOURI AND WITH STG LOW LVL MOISTURE RUNNING NORTH
UNDERNEATH THIS AIR WE LOOK FOR STRONG REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS
LATER TODAY ACROSS THE AREA...PROBABLY LASTING INTO THE EVENING
AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT MAKES ITS WAY EAST ACROSS EASTERN
MISSOURI THIS EVENING.

SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AND MAY UPGRADE
IT TO A MODERATE RISK LATER THIS MORNING.

THIS SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A DOUBLE-BARRELED EVENT AS ANOTHER S/W
RACES NORTHEAST TOMORROW CREATING A NEW DEEPENING SFC LOW THAT
FORMS OVR WRN KANSAS SUNDAY MORNING AND MOVES ACROSS NRN MO
SUNDAY EVENING.  SPC HAS A MODERATE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS
OVER THE ENTIRE AREA AND WE EXPECT A STRONG TO MAJOR OUTBREAK
OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
DIVERGENCE AND STRONG JET OVHD POINT TO A VERY BUSY DAY TOMORROW
AND PERHAPS LATER TODAY AS WELL.

MEDIA...LAW ENFORCEMENT...SPOTTERS...EMERGENCY MANAGERS...AND
OTHER WEATHER RELATED INTERESTS SHOULD KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE
ON WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

FOR THE EXTDD PD (MON NGT - FRI)...H500 LONGWAVE TROF...IN A
TRANSITORY STATE...BGNS THE PD OVR THE CNTRL CONUS WHERE THE /GRAND
FINALE/ TO OUR ACTIVE WX PTRN IS IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING. NAM/DGEX
SHOW A MUCH MORE SLY SFC LO TRACK VERSUS THE REST OF THE MED RNG
MDLS (GFS/ECMWF/CMC)...WHICH HV A MUCH MORE NLY AND MORE PROGRESSIVE
TRACK. PREFER THE LATTER...WHERE ONLY A FEW SPKLS OR FLURRIES ARE
EXPCD FOR MON NGT. A MORE QUIET MID LVL PTRN THEN TAKES HOLD...AS
LONGWAVE TROF SLIDES TO THE ERN CONUS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH
LONGWAVE RDG DOMINATES THE WRN 2/3RDS OF THE CONUS WITH MOSTLY SFC
HI PRES IN CONTROL. ONLY INTERRUPTION TO THIS WL BE DURG WED/WED
NGT...WHERE A WK SHRTWV WL CLIP MAINLY THE NRN/NERN SXNS OF THE FA.
DUE TO THE NWLY MID LVL FLOW PTRN AND DOMINANCE OF CANADIAN HI PRES
EXPCD...LOOK FOR TEMPS AOB NORMAL DURG THIS PD...AND GENERALLY DRY
FOR MOST LOCNS.

WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION ARE BECOMING VERY FAVORABLE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE WEATHER DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND
ONCE THE STORMS FORM THEY WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE.
AND...IT APPEARS THAT MORE SEVERE WEATHER MAY THREATEN THE REGION
ON SUNDAY.

DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS THREAT...WE ARE ASKING PUBLIC AND
COMMERCIAL RADIO AND TV STATIONS TO BROADCAST THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
RULES. FOR MANY PEOPLE...THIS MESSAGE WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
REMINDER OF WHAT TO DO IF A TORNADO OR SEVERE WEATHER THREATENS
THEIR AREA.

THE KEY TO TORNADO SURVIVAL IS TO BE PREPARED  TAKE IMMEDIATE
ACTION WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED OR WHEN YOU FEEL THREATENED.
REMEMBER...THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE DURING A TORNADO EVENT MAY SAVE
YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WHICH CAN PRODUCE TORNADOES IN AND CLOSE
TO THE WATCH AREA. IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA...KEEP INFORMED OF
THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION. THESE STORMS CAN DEVELOP RAPIDLY SO
THERE MAY BE OCCASIONS WHEN ADVANCE WARNING IS NOT POSSIBLE.

A TORNADO WARNING MEANS A TORNADO HAS BEEN SPOTTED OR INDICATED BY
RADAR. IF YOU ARE IN THE PATH OR NEAR THE TORNADO...TAKE IMMEDIATE
ACTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. FOLLOW THESE SAFETY RULES:

1) IN OPEN COUNTRY...FIND A DITCH...CULVERT OR OTHER LOW AREA AND
LAY DOWN FLAT. COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS FOR PROTECTION.

2) IN HOMES OR SMALL BUILDINGS...GO TO THE BASEMENT OR TO A SMALL
ALL-INTERIOR ROOM ON THE LOWEST FLOOR LIKE A HALL OR BATHROOM
CLOSET. USE HEAVY FURNITURE FOR SHELTER OR COVER YOURSELF WITH A
MATTRESS OR BLANKET.

3) IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...ABANDON IT AND GO TO A SUBSTANTIAL
STRUCTURE OR PLACE OF SAFETY. NEVER TRY AND OUT RUN A TORNADO BY
AUTOMOBILE.

4) IN SCHOOLS...HOSPITALS...FACTORIES OR SHOPPING CENTERS...GO TO DESIGNATED
SHELTER AREAS. INTERIOR HALLS ON THE LOWEST LEVELS ARE USUALLY THE
BEST. STAY AWAY FROM GYMNASIUMS OR AUDITORIUMS. AVOID ALL OUTSIDE
WALLS AND WINDOWS.
