AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1114 AM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...
A FEW UPDRAFTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRIGGERED THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE
TO RAPID MOISTURE TRANSPORT BACK INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI.  RADAR
SUGGESTS THAT MOST OF THESE UPDRAFTS ARE BEING CAPPED OFF BY A MID
LEVEL SUBSIDENCE INVERSION NOTED FROM THE KSGF 12Z RAOB AT AROUND
15-18 KFT.  WITH INCREASE HEATING AND DEEPENING MOISTURE...THIS CAP
(SUBSIDENCE INVERSION) WILL PROBABLY BREAK WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO.

THE ENVIRONMENT IS RIPE FOR TORNADOES...LARGE AND DESTRUCTIVE
TORNADOES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.  EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR ACROSS
THE REGION IS IMPRESSIVE WITH 60-70 KNOTS...0-1KM HELICITIES RANGING
FROM 150-300M2/S2.  A MODIFIED 12Z KSGF RAOB SUGGESTS THAT 1500-2000
J/KG OF ML CAPE EXISTS ACROSS A BROAD AREA OF SW MO...AND WILL ONLY
INCREASE WITH TIME

IN THE SHORT TERM...THE AREA OF MOST CONCERN IS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST
OF A LINE FROM GROVE OKLAHOMA TO LAKE OF THE OZARKS.

CRAMER

LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY)...
THIS PERIOD APPEARS TO BE QUIET IN THE WAKE OF OUR ONGOING STORM
SYSTEM.  COLD FRONT WILL SPREAD THROUGH A CANADIAN AIRMASS THAT WILL
SCOUR MOISTURE FROM THE DEEP SOUTH AND INTO THE GULF.  THIS WILL
LIMIT ANY POTENTIAL FOR ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.  THERE
MAY BE A COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES MIGRATING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST
FLOW DURING THESE PERIODS...BUT WEAK LIFT AND LOW MOISTURE MAY ONLY
YIELD CLOUD COVER.

THE GFS SUGGESTS THAT A STRONGER WAVE COULD IMPACT THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY.  MOISTURE WILL STILL BE LACKING HOWEVER BETTER LIFT WITH
THIS SYSTEM JUSTIFIES SOME CHANCE POPS FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY.  FOLLOWED THE MEX POPS NUMBERS WITH THESE PERIODS.  FALL
LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK
WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S AND 80S...AND LOWS RANGING FROM THE 40S TO THE
MID 50S.
