AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
402 PM CDT MON MAR 31 2008

.DISCUSSION...

VERY ACTIVE DAY ACROSS THE OZARKS. SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO
CONGEAL ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT IS JUST NOW
ENTERING WESTERNMOST MISSOURI. SUBSTANTIAL WIND RISK ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SQUALL LINE WITH WINDS UP TO 80 MPH POSSIBLE.

TONIGHT...PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE TIMING THE ONGOING SQUALL LINE.
WILL LIKELY NEED TO MAKE ALTERATIONS POST PACKAGE ISSUANCE TO MORE
PROPERLY ASSESS RAINFALL POTENTIAL. WILL MOST LIKELY BE CUTTING
POPS OVER WESTERN ZONE FURTHER AS THE COLD FRONT IS BEGINNING TO
MAKE PROGRESS EAST. WILL NEED TO MONITOR CLOUD COVERAGE
TONIGHT...SOME CLEARING IS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
ZONES. THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA WILL STILL BE PRONE TO
TRAPPED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CYCLONIC FLOW WITH THE DEPARTING
SFC LOW. GENERALLY HELD AT MAV WHERE CLOUDS WILL LINGER AND A
LITTLE LOWER WHERE CLEARING IS EXPECTED.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...925/850MB THERMAL TROUGH MOVES
OVERHEAD TUESDAY. MAY STILL BE A LINGERING STRATUS ISSUE FOR
NORTHERN COUNTIES EARLY ON...BUT CLEARING SHOULD OCCUR BY THE
AFTERNOON. INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT.
GENERALLY HELD CLOSE TO MAV FOR HIGHS AND BELOW FOR LOWS WHICH
WILL FLIRT WITH THE FREEZING MARK...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN ZONES.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...UNFORTUNATELY...OUR ACTIVE PATTERN LOOKS
TO CONTINUE. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL TAKE SHAPE OVER THE REGION
BEGINNING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. WARM FRONT WILL ONCE AGAIN MOVE INTO THE
REGION AND ANOTHER SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE NATION. MULTIPLE ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA WILL ONCE AGAIN
LEAD TO ANOTHER SIZABLE RISK OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING. CANNOT
RULE OUT SEVERE STORMS EITHER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND PASSAGE OF
LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. ANOTHER COUPLE OF INCHES OF RAIN
APPEAR LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. THE CURRENT ESF
HANDLES THE SITUATION WELL. HAVE INCREASED POPS A BIT FOR THIS
TIME FRAME GIVEN WET MODELS AND STRONG SIGNALS FROM THE ENSEMBLE
AVERAGE POP. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE TRICKY AND DEPENDENT ON
WARM FRONT LOCATION...HELD CLOSE TO WARMER MAV NUMBERS. WHICH ARE
AT OR ABOVE AVERAGE SOUTH OF THE FRONT AND BELOW AVERAGE NORTH OF
THE FRONT.

IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...CONSIDERABLE
MODEL DIFFERENCES FROM THE 00Z SUITE SEEM TO BE CONVERGING A BIT
WITH THE 12Z SOLUTIONS...ALTHOUGH TRUST IN THIS REMAIN TENUOUS.
THE UPPER PATTERN SHOULD EVOLVE TO A MORE ZONAL ORIENTATION...
BUT A FEW RIPPLES IN THE FLOW ARE STILL POSSIBLE. STORM SYSTEM
RESPONSIBLE FOR WED/THUR RAINS SHOULD BE EXITING STAGE EAST EARLY
FRIDAY. BEYOND FRIDAY...HAVE KEPT ANY RAIN CHANCES ON THE LOW
SIDE DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING ANY PARTICULAR WAVES. AT
THIS POINT...PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT TO NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.
