AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
741 AM CDT FRI AUG 25 2006

.DISCUSSION...
HAVE MADE SOME FIRST PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE FOR ONGOING
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX.  INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY OVER MANY AREAS.

LOW LEVEL JET HAS VEERED AND ALLOWED ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.  THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS MORE NOTICEABLE WITHIN AN
AREA OF HIGHER INSTABILITY WHERE HIGH LEVELS OF MID LEVEL R.H. WAS
SHIFTING IN FROM THE WEST.  CAPE VALUES ARE JUST UNDER LEVELS THAT
WOULD ALLOW FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS...HOWEVER STRONG STORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED WITHIN THE COMPLEX AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE
CLOSELY FOR MICROBURST POTENTIAL.

THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS HEATING OCCURS.  12Z RAOB HAS SHOWN A SLIGHT
INCREASE IN MID LEVEL MOISTURE...ULTIMATELY STEEPENING MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES SOME.  AREAS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO SUN THIS AFTERNOON WILL
LIKELY ACQUIRE 2000-3000 J/KG OF ML CAPE.  THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT
FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS WITH MICROBURSTS BEING THE MAIN HAZARD.  STAY
TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES AS THIS ONGOING WEATHER SITUATION UNFOLDS.

&&

.AVIATION...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHWEST
MISSOURI AND INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI.  WILL BE UPDATING TAFS
PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE MORNING TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS
ACTIVITY.  SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD PERSIST...AND CEILINGS SHOULD
REMAIN VFR.  LOOK FOR MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES WHERE THUNDERSTORMS
EXIST.

845 AM CDT FRI AUG 25 2006

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME MAY PRODUCE:
    DAMAGING WIND GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH.
    HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS.
    FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
    AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

  THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY
  AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA...WITH ADDITIONAL
  THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY RE-DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON.

  DISCUSSION:

  SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OUTLOOK
  AREA THIS MORNING. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED WITH THE
  THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...HOWEVER THE STRONGER STORMS WILL
  PRODUCE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WITH ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN
  POSSIBLE IN AN HOUR ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH.

  IF CLOUDINESS CLEARS OUT...THEN ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS COULD
  DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. IF SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP THEN
  SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS
  AND LARGE HAIL. DUE TO THE MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE...SOME OF THE
  THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON COULD ALSO PRODUCE LOCALIZED VERY
  HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

  A COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT ACROSS THE OSAGE PLAINS AND OZARKS
  REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE
  PRESENT WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERE...THIS STALLED OUT FRONT WILL BECOME
  A FOCUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON A
  DAILY BASIS. IF SUFFICIENT BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER OCCUR FOR STRONG
  DAYTIME HEATING...THEN STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
  POSSIBLE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.  DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
  WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE
  ON MONDAY AFTERNOON OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
