...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...

.DISCUSSION...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL MOVE MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING
AREA TODAY. ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WHERE SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES ARE OBSERVED.

AN EXTENSIVE SQUALL LINE WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS
DEVELOPED ALONG A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NEAR KANSAS CITY TO
TULSA TO ARDMORE OKLAHOMA. THIS LINE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF
PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. SO FAR THE STRONGEST
WINDS HAVE OCCURRED IN NORTHWEST MISSOURI WITH DAMAGING WINDS
OVER 80 MPH ASSOCIATED WITH A BOWING SEGMENT. THERE HAVE BEEN
SEVERAL REPORTS OF GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL WITHIN THIS LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.

AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT...AN UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY
CAPPED AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE RANGING
FROM 1000 TO 2000 J/KG...700-500 MB LAPSE RATES NEAR 7 DEGREES
C/KM...0-3 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY NEAR 400 M2/S2 AND SURFACE
TO 6 KM WIND SHEAR NEAR 50 KTS. DAMAGING WINDS...WHERE BOWING
SEGMENTS DEVELOP AND COLD POOLING OCCURS AHEAD OF THE LINE...AND
LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
THE OZARKS. HOWEVER...RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF SHORT LIVED WEAK
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE...ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SQUALL
LINE...WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS WITHIN THE LINE...AND WITH ANY
DISCRETE SUPERCELL THAT MIGHT FORM AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE WITH
SUCH HIGH STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES.

NAM AND GFS GUIDANCE PLACES FRONT NEAR THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR
AROUND 18Z. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DRY
WEATHER AND GRADUALLY CLEARING WILL OCCUR FROM WEST TO EAST
BEHIND THE FRONT AS MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES IN WITH STRONG
ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE IN THE THE 305-315K LAYER. THE COLD FRONT

PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST OF THE OZARKS ON SUNDAY WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
RETURNING AND TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING.

ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK IN
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM WILL KICK INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

346 AM CDT FRI MAY 2 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINDS IN EXCESS OF
  70MPH...HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

 A BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM
 APPLETON CITY TO JOPLIN...AND BACK INTO NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA
 WILL PUSH EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS SHOULD AFFECT AREAS WEST
 OF HIGHWAY 65 THROUGH 5 AM...AND WILL LIKELY AFFECT AREAS ALONG
 AND WEST OF A VICHY TO AVA LINE BY 7 AM.

  DISCUSSION:

 THIS SQUALL LINE WILL BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN
 EXCESS OF 70 MPH...WITH WIDESPREAD WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH.
 HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES EMBEDDED
 WITHIN THE LINE WILL BE POSSIBLE. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG
 WIND SHEAR WILL MAINTAIN THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THIS
 LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

 STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING EARLY FRIDAY
 MORNING IN THE VICINITY OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR. STRONG WIND
 FIELDS ALOFT AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
 A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
 DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL WILL
 CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISKS...BUT A THREAT FOR
 ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

 AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE WEST TO EAST
 ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. GIVEN THE EXPECTED WIND SHEAR AND
 INSTABILITY PROFILES ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS...IT IS POSSIBLE
 FOR THIS LINE OF STORMS TO BREAK UP INTO SEGMENTS OR EVEN
 SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS. IF THIS OCCURS...THE RISK FOR TORNADOES
 WILL INCREASE. PERSONS EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR ARE URGED
 TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS REGARDING THE SEVERE WEATHER
 POTENTIAL FRIDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIT THE OUTLOOK AREA LATE
 FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

 ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY MOVE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY AND
 WEDNESDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEED OVERNIGHT ACROSS
 AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 65 IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.
