AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1230 AM CDT MON JUN 23 2008

.UPDATE...
QUICK UPDATE: CONVECTION BLOSSOMED WITH WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION
COMBINED WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE INSTABILITY FOR STRONG UPDRAFT
POTENTIAL. RUC EARLIER INDICATED MLCAPES OF 2000 J/KG OVE THE
WESTERN CWFA. SHEAR STILL ADEQUATE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF OF
MIDWESTERN TROUGH TO SUSTAIN UPDRAFTS...BUT MIDLEVEL FLOW WILL
GRADUALLY WEAKEN WITH TIME WITH INCREASING UPPER RIDGING LATE
TONIGHT AND MONDAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE OUT SHORTLY NO
DOUBT.  STORMS ALSO TRAINING WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW ALLOWING BACK
BUILDING IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. DSA

&&

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY...MINOR SHORTWAVE MOVED THROUGH SW MO THIS MORNING
PRODUCING MAINLY CLOUD COVER...WITH SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA FROM TIME
TO TIME. DEWPOINTS IN THE WAKE OF THIS FEATURE HAVE DROPPED INTO
THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S...THOUGH HIGHER DEWPOINTS ARE RETURNING TO
AREAS NEAR THE MO/KS BORDER. A WEAK LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY...BEST SEEN
IN 925MB PROFILER PLAN VIEW...IS LOCATED FROM CENTRAL KS INTO
CENTRAL MO. PREVIOUS CLOUD COVERAGE AND SLIGHTLY LOWER DEWPOINTS
HAVE RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY LESS INSTABILITY THAN WAS OBSERVED AT
THIS TIME YESTERDAY. AS SUCH...VISIBLE SAT IMAGERY AT THIS HOUR IS
RATHER VOID OF CU IN SE KS/SW MO. LOOKS LIKE HIGHS WILL ONCE AGAIN
PEAK IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S.

REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...INSTABILITY WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE...ESPECIALLY IN THE VICINITY OF THE WEAK LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY. LITTLE IF ANY INHIBITION IS NOTED...THUS THERE WILL BE
LITTLE HOLDING US BACK. ENOUGH INSTABILITY SHOULD BE GARNERED NEAR
THE BOUNDARY TO PRODUCE SCATTERED CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON
IN THIS EVENING. AS PREVIOUS FORECAST MENTIONED...THE BETTER
OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE LONG LIVED CONVECTION WILL BE OVER EXTREME SE
KS AND FAR SW MO WHERE THE BOUNDARY SHOULD TAKE ON A MORE NW TO SE
ORIENTATION.

LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING OVERNIGHT SHOULD MAINTAIN LIFT IN SE
KS/FAR SW MO. WHATEVER CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS
WILL SUBSIDE AFTER INSTABILITY IS SPENT. WILL ALSO NEED TO MONITOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER KS THAT MIGHT FOLLOW THIS BOUNDARY
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE FAR SW CWA. THERE REMAINS A RISK FOR HEAVY
RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING IF EVERYTHING SETS UP JUST RIGHT.
HOWEVER THIS IS MORE OF A MESOSCALE FORECAST ISSUE AND CONFIDENCE
IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PINPOINT ANY AREAS MORE PRONE TO FLASH
FLOODING.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS...THE REGION WILL BE PRONE TO PERIODIC EPISODES OF
CONVECTION. NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP THE FORECAST QUITE TRICKY.
LINGERING BOUNDARY OVER FAR SW MO MONDAY IS ONE FOCUSING MECHANISM
TO KEEP AN EYE ON. ANOTHER WILL BE A SHORTWAVE CUTTING THROUGH THE
FLOW TUE/TUE NIGHT. AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS WILL
CONTINUE INTO MIDWEEK WITH SIGNS OF A SLIGHT WARMING TREND FROM
MIDWEEK AND BEYOND.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...12Z SUITE OF MODELS OFFER LITTLE CHANGE
FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS. STILL DEALING WITH SOME FORM OF NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT. INDICATIONS ARE THAT MID LEVEL WARMING WILL BE NUDGING
TOWARD THE AREA...THOUGH NOTHING ABNORMAL OR EXTREME. AS A
RESULT...STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION OR THE
PASSING OVERNIGHT MCS. KEPT POPS RIGHT NEAR CLIMO. TEMPERATURES
WILL SLOWLY EDGE UPWARD. SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL MO WILL LIKELY RESULT IN LOCALLY WARMER TEMPS IN THIS
AREA...WITH READINGS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S COMMON.

GAGAN

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z TAFS...WILL REMOVE MENTION OF THUNDER EARLY IN THE
FORECAST AS WE LOSE DAYTIME HEATING INFLUENCE. MAY SEE SOME STORMS
DEVELOP WEST OF JOPLIN LATE TONIGHT WITH LOW LEVEL JET OVERRUNNING
A SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER SOUTH KANSAS...BUT WILL HOLD MENTION OF
THUNDER FOR NOW. COULD SEE MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION MONDAY
AFTERNOON. WILL WAIT TO LOOK OVER NEW 00Z MODEL DATA BEFORE
INCLUDING IN TAFS.
