AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
211 AM CDT WED MAY 10 2006

...SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI
TODAY...

MAIN FOCUS IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING THROUGH TODAY.

CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPING INTO A SERIOUS FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR
TODAY ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

CONVECTION ONGOING ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS MORNING DEVELOPING
OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN SHORTWAVE STILL FURTHER TO THE WEST ACROSS
KANSAS.  SURFACE FRONT STILL DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI EARLY
THIS MORNING WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S SOUTH OF THE FRONT AND INTO
THE 50S NORTH OF THE FRONT.

UPPER SHORTWAVE SHOULD SHIFT TO THE EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AS
PRETTY STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET (100+ KTS) DIVES SOUTEHAST INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS.  CWA WILL BE CAUGHT IN BETWEEN AN EXITING JET STREAK
AND THE ONE PUSHING INTO THE PLAINS AND WILL MAXIMIZE THE UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WHICH SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE CWA BY MIDDAY.  PRETTY GOOD
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG SYNOPTIC LOW ALMOST
LIKE A GOOD WINTERTIME LOW...EXPECTED TO BRING SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL
WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
CWA.  CURRENT REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING ALL THE
WAY BACK INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE REGION WHICH IS EXPECTED TO TRAIN
INTO THE AREA LATER TODAY.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES IN LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI BY
THE END OF THE EVENT.  WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING
SOUTH OF A NEVADA TO OSAGE BEACH LINE THROUGH 4 PM AND THIS LOOKS
GOOD FOR NOW.

MAIN UPPER SYSTEM WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND
ILLINOIS TONIGHT QUICKLY SHIFTING PRECIPITATION EASTWARD BY
EVENING.

HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES QUITE A BIT FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR
TODAY WITH EXPECTED RAINFALL...KEEPING THE WARMER READINGS TO THE
NORTHWEST WHERE PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE THE LEAST AND END THE
QUICKEST THIS AFTERNOON.  FURTHER SOUTHEAST CLOUDS AND CONTINUED
PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE LOW 60S.

UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MEANDER OVER ILLINOIS THROUGH THE WEEKEND
BEFORE DROPPING SOUTHEAST INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY SUNDAY
NIGHT.  MAIN PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THIS TIME APPEAR TO BE TO THE
EAST OF THE CWA CLOSER TO THE VICINITY OF THE LOW BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE SOME WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE EASTERN CWA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY NO MAJOR PRECIPITATION
EVENTS EXPECTED THROUGH THAT TIME PERIOD.

HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES A BIT DURING THE NIGHTTIME IN THE LATER
PERIODS AS COLDER AIR MASS IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA WITH THE
LOW DROPPING INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...CHALLENGING TAFS THIS CYCLE. SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP OVER OKLAHOMA WITH BAND APPEARING AS THOUGH IT WILL SET
UP FROM NEAR KSGF WSW INTO OKLAHOMA. FOR NOW ONLY INCLUDED VCTS IN
SGF AND LEFT TS OUT OF JLN...BUT TAFS WILL NEED TO BE AMENDED BASED
ON RADAR TRENDS. RAIN WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD DURING THE
DAY WEDNESDAY ESPECIALLY AT KSGF. AS SITUATION UNFOLDS LATER TAFS
MAY NEED TO LOWER CIGS/VIS TO MVFR FOR WEDNESDAY BUT GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY DECIDED TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF OPTIMISM FOR NOW.
