AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...AVIATION UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1135 AM CDT SUN APR 23 2006 .DISCUSSION... ELEVATED CONVECTION ONGOING EARLY THIS MORNING FROM NORTHWEST INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI IN NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME...AND ALONG AND NORTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT. MODERATE LOW LEVEL JET WAS RESULTING IN THETA-E ADVECTION OVER TOP THIS BOUNDARY. RUC MODEL SOUNDING CAPES DERIVED FROM ABOVE 800 MB WERE AROUND 500 J/KG. RATHER COMPLEX FORECAST THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS A SURFACE FRONT MEANDERS ACROSS THE AREA AND A SERIES OF MINOR SHORTWAVES EJECT EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. MORNING CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AS THE AXIS OF THE LOW LEVEL JET WEAKENS AND BECOMES REESTABLISHED FARTHER WEST. A SUBTLE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON WHILE THE AREA BECOMES ORIENTED WITHIN THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET. THE SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING ALONG WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT THAT WILL STRETCH FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI TO EAST CENTRAL KANSAS WILL LIKELY PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT FOR THUNDERSTORM INITIATION. MODEL SOUNDINGS YIELD SURFACE BASED CAPES AROUND 2500 J/KG WITH LITTLE OF A CAPPING INVERSION. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. MODERATELY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND MODERATE 0-6KM SHEAR SUGGEST A FEW SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. A MORE SUBSTANTIAL ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY ARRIVE LATE SUNDAY EVENING INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE PLAINS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE AND DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO AN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AND PROGRESS INTO THE OZARKS REGION AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS AND INTERACTS WITH THE STALLED SURFACE BOUNDARY. AMPLE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL BE IN PLACE FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. OF MORE SIGNIFICANCE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL FOR AT LEAST SOME LOCATIONS. MODELS DIVERGE ON THE PROGRESSION OF THE SURFACE LOW AND COLD FRONT MONDAY. THE SUBSEQUENT POSITION OF THE FRONT WILL DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF WARMING AND DESTABILIZATION. WILL FOLLOW CLOSER TO A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE MORE NORTHERN SOLUTION OF THE GFS AND THE NAM WHICH WOULD PLACE THE FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI MONDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE BASED CAPES AROUND 2500 J/KG WILL DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR WHILE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL BE NEAR 50 KTS. THIS WILL AGAIN BRING THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE FRONT MONDAY AFTERNOON...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT COULD UNFOLD ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH THE EXACT EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION IS IN QUESTION...IT APPEARS AMPLE FORCING WILL BE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT A GOOD COVERAGE OF RAINFALL AS THE NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE SWINGS SOUTHWARD. THE FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING. COOLER AND EVEN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILD ADVECT INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AS THE REGION COMES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DEEP NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. FOSTER && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING ALONG A WEAK BOUNDARY NOTED ON SATELLITE OVER SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON AS INSTABILITY INCREASES. FOR NOW CONTINUED TREND FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH MAIN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS MCS MOVES IN. WILL LIKELY SEE CEILINGS DROP INTO THE 3000 TO 4000 FOOT RANGE AS THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE IN...OTHERWISE LOOK FOR VFR CEILINGS TO PERSIST. LINDENBERG && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
