AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1240 AM CDT WED MAR 19 2008

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...

RAINFALL CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION. SUBSTANTIAL FLOODING WILL
CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH MODERATE TO MAJOR RIVER
FLOODING EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND LIKELY BEYOND.

STRONG UPPER LOW NOW BEGINNING TO PROGRESS A BIT INTO TEXAS.
ELONGATED UPPER JET ORIENTED FROM CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS THROUGH
EASTERN KANSAS AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. UPPER DIFFLUENCE
REMAINS PRONOUNCED ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE NATION. IN THE LOWER
LEVELS...A LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SHIFT EASTWARD INTO
THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY REGION. AT THE SFC...A COLD FRONT
EXTENDS FROM JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE BOOT HEEL OF MO TO NEAR LITTLE
ROCK AND TEXARKANA. A SFC LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY RIDE
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THIS FRONT AND IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER
SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS.

LOOKING AT THE LATEST RUC INITIALIZATIONS...FRONTOGENESIS IN BOTH
THE LOW AND MID LEVELS WILL BE IN PLACE ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE
INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE UPPER LOW
WILL BE SLOW TO TRAVERSE TEXAS...LIFTING TO THE EAST NORTHEAST
OVERNIGHT. THE UPPER LOW OVER TEXAS WILL WEAKEN A BIT AS IT DOES
SO...JOINING THE NORTHERN STREAM WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A SLOW END TO OUR LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL. EASTWARD
PROGRESS OF THE BACK EDGE OF THE THIS RAINFALL WILL BE SLOW TO
NEGLIGIBLE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...WAITING UNTIL THE
AFOREMENTIONED SFC LOW IS EAST OF THE AREA AND THE UPPER LOW
ACCELERATES TO THE EAST NORTHEAST. STRONG UPPER SUPPORT AND DEEP
CONVERGENCE SHOULD MAINTAIN A NEARLY SOLID SHIELD OF RAINFALL
TONIGHT.

THE GOING FORECAST OF ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL TONIGHT
LOOKS GOOD...HIGHER AMOUNTS OF THREE TO FIVE INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.

GAGAN

&&

.DISCUSSION...

HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS
AFTERNOON. THOUGH WE HAVE SEEN TREMENDOUS RAINFALL AMOUNTS SO
FAR...WE STILL HAVE A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL THAT WILL MOVE UP
INTO THE AREA FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA. ANY
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ONLY MAKE FLOODING MATTERS WORSE.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...

FRONT EXTENDS FROM SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS
NORTHEAST INTO THE MISSOURI BOOT HEEL THIS AFTERNOON. PROFILER DATA
OVER SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS CONTINUES TO SHOW A STRONG 50KT LOW LEVEL
JET EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS UP INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI.
MOISTURE IS RIDING UP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY INTO NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...INTO MOST OF THE CWA. UPPER LOW
STILL DOWN OVER SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. SO THE MOISTURE TRAIN WILL
STAY IN TACT OVER NIGHT. SERIOUS MAJOR TO RECORD FLOODING IS IN
THE PROCESS OF COMING TO FRUITION.

HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1.5-2.5
INCHES EXPECTED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. HPC QPF GUIDANCE
SHOWING ANOTHER 2-3 INCHES EXPECTED FOR COMMUNITIES SOUTH AND EAST
OF INTERSTATE 44 FOR TONIGHT. LATEST RUC GUIDANCE SHOWING A WAVE
ALONG THE FRONT PUSHING INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS EVENING. FLASH
FLOOD WARNINGS ARE WILL MOST LIKELY BE EXTENDED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT AREAS TO REFLECT THESE PRECIP AMOUNTS.

UPPER LOW OPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND TRACKS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI WEDNESDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL END FROM WEST TO
EAST WEDNESDAY MORNING.

CLAYCOMB

LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...

IN THE LONG TERM...A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN DOMINATED BY NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER PATTERN. SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES WILL QUICKLY PROGRESS THROUGH THIS FLOW...EACH HAVING
AT LEAST A MINOR EFFECT ON OUR SENSIBLE WEATHER.

THE NICEST DAY DURING THE PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE FRIDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST ISSUES A WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME INTO
THE AREA BRIEFLY. THIS LOW WILL BE QUICK TO MOVE THROUGH...LARGELY
AFFECTING NORTHERN MISSOURI AND PERHAPS BRINGING A CHANCE FOR LIGHT
SHOWERS TO OUR NORTHERN CWA. THE LOW LEVELS LOOK TO BE QUITE DRY BUT
WE MAY HAVE ENOUGH LIFT AND MOISTURE IN THE MID LEVELS TO CREATE A
FEW RAIN SHOWERS. A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THIS SYSTEM WITH MODERATE COLD AIR ADVECTION IN ITS WAKE. ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE DIVES SOUTHEAST BY LATE SATURDAY. THE ECMWF IS
MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH PRECIP FOR THIS SYSTEM. WITH THE AMOUNT OF MID
LEVEL LIFT AND THE JET PATTERN PRESENT...THIS BECOMES BELIEVABLE.
HOWEVER...THERE IS ONCE AGAIN A QUESTION OF JUST HOW MUCH MOISTURE
WILL BE AVAILABLE.

IT APPEARS THAT THE GULF WILL OPEN UP BY LATE MONDAY AND SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE WILL BE
BROUGHT NORTH. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN CONSISTENT IN BRINGING IN A WELL
DEVELOPED STORM SYSTEM WITH A CUTOFF LOW AT 500 HPA. THE GFS ON THE
OTHER HAND...HAS A WEAK WAVE IN THE UPPER FLOW MOVING THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES REGION. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD THE ECMWF AND HAVE CHANCE
POPS IN THE GRIDS FOR THE MONDAY/TUESDAY TIME FRAME WITH THE MENTION
OF THUNDER. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THERE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
COLD AIR BROUGHT IN WITH THIS SYSTEM. SNOW DOES NOT APPEAR
LIKELY...BUT CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. FUTURE MODEL RUNS WILL
PROVIDE MORE DETAIL INTO THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

BARJENBRUCH

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAF PACKAGE...FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 12
HOURS IS THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE AREA
OF RAINFALL THAT HAS PLAGUED THE REGION IS SLOWLY WORKING ITS WAY
TOWARD THE SGF AERODROME. CIGS/VIS HAVE BEEN VARIABLE AT BOTH JLN
AND SGF OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...REALLY HUGGING MVFR/IFR AT SGF.
WITH ANOTHER AREA OF RAINFALL COMING ACROSS THE SGF AERODROME...
HAVE OPTED TO CONTINUE MENTIONING IFR CIGS. VISIBILITY SHOULD VARY
FROM MVFR TO VFR BASED ON RAINFALL INTENSITY. AT JLN...CIGS HAVE
RISEN TO THE MVFR CATEGORY AND THIS LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. IMPROVING VIS/CIG IS EXPECTED DURING THE LATE MORNING
HOURS WITH CLEARING BY MIDDAY.
