Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 8:45 PM CST, 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...MESOSCALE UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
845 PM CST SUN MAR 12 2006

.UPDATE...
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI ARE
BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED IN TERMS OF ROTATION AND SEVERITY. LATEST
RUC INFORMATION CONTINUES TO SHOW AN OVERALL INCREASE OF 0-1KM
HELICITY IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI SINCE 7 PM...WITH A SUBSTANTIAL
INCREASE IN SHEAR AND TORNADIC PARAMETERS IN THE SAME AREAS. EXPECT
THE STORMS IN FAR WESTERN MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TO
CONTINUE THEIR INTENSITY IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AND MAY BECOME
TORNADIC IF CONDITIONS WARRANT. JLT

&&

.DISCUSSION...
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AT 330 PM
VERY DEFINED CONVERGENT ZONE SEEN IN METAR OBSERVATIONS ACROSS
EASTERN KANSAS. DEWPOINTS AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE IN THE 60S OVER
SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS. BEHIND THE DRY
LINE...DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE TEENS. THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS OF
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FOR US THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
EXTRAPOLATION OF THE LINE PUTS IT OVER SPRINGFIELD BY 01Z. 18Z SGF
SOUNDING SHOWING A LOADED GUN PROFILE...CAPE VALUES OF 2164
J/KG...WBZ AT 8850 FEET AND -5.8 LIS. GETTING REPORTS OF TORNADOS
AND LARGE HAIL FROM STORMS IN KANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI AND THEY
ARE HEADED THIS WAY.

GFS MOVES THE 850MB LOW THROUGH NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI BY 12Z MONDAY.
AHEAD OF THE LOW...925MB WINDS UP TO 50KTS COVER THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE STATE.  WE ARE GOING TO SEE SEVERE WEATHER PROGRESSING
THROUGH THE NIGHT. SPC FORECASTING SQUALL LINE DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT
AS WELL AND HAVE THE TORNADO WATCH OUT THROUGH 10 PM THIS EVENING.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT EXTENDED.

ONCE THE LOW MOVES EAST...850MB TEMPS DROP FROM 14C TODAY TO -4C
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BECOME MORE SEASONAL MONDAY
AND TUESDAY WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 50S FOR HIGHS.

DID NOT MESS TOO MUCH WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST. DID INTRODUCE CHANCE
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES
THROUGH NORTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE DAY. OTHERWISE...JUST FOCUSED
ON THE SHORT TERM. GCC
