AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
133 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2008

.DISCUSSION...

LARGE STORM COMPLEX OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
CONTINUES TO BARREL SOUTHWARD TOWARD OUR FORECAST AREA. WE ARE
STARTING TO SEE SOME STORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE MAIN OUTFLOW JUST
NORTH OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY. AS EXPECTED WE HAVE DESTABILIZED
GREATLY WITH SURFACE BASED CAPES ALREADY EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG.
LATEST SOUNDING SHOWS THAT MOISTURE DEPTH HAS INCREASED OVER THE
AREA ALSO. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED
JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA AND EXPECT AN EXTENSION SOUTHWARD SOON.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...

THE MAIN SHOW FOR THE SHORT TERM IS ALREADY ONGOING SO FOCUSED ON
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TONIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO TIME THE HIGHER
POPS/QPF WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS AFTERNOONS MCS. PLAN TO
LEAVE THE FLOOD WATCH GOING AS IS...BUT COULD SEE SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS WITH TIMING.

AS FAR AS ENDING THE PRECIP CHANCES...ALL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS
SLOWED SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF QPF AS MAIN COLD FRONT LAGS ABOUT
6-12 HOURS BEHIND PREVIOUS FORECAST. OTHERWISE...DID NOT MAKE MANY
CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST THROUGH MIDWEEK AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS
SOUTH INTO OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE AND KEPT
MID TO UPPER 50S FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS MOST AREAS.

TERRY
&&

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES IN THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...THERE ARE SOME SMALL DETAILS THAT THEY
DEFFER ON BUT OVERALL THEY AGREE. THEREFORE...HAVE GENERALLY
FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND GFS MODELS FOR THE LONG TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN US WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EAST COAST DURING THE SECOND HALF OF
THE WEEK. THIS WILL LEAVE THE AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW...WITH A
FEW WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES RIDING THE NORTHWEST FLOW INTO
THE AREA. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE LONG TERM PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST WILL BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT...BUT THERE WILL BE SEVERAL CHANCES
FOR OFF AND ON AGAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. HAVE LEFT
SLIGHT POPS IN THE FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES APPROACH THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL OVER THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEK...THE AREA REMAINS IN NORTHWEST FLOW.

WISE

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TIME THE ARRIVAL OF STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE COMPLEX CURRENTLY AROUND KANSAS
CITY...BUT ALSO NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE VERY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS OVER THE AIRPORTS THIS AFTERNOON. SO HAVE STARTED THE
FORECAST WITH VICINITY THUNDER AND THEN BROUGHT IN TEMPO GROUPS
FOR THE MAIN STORM COMPLEX. THEREAFTER WILL CARRY SOME
PREDOMINANT SHOWERS AND VICINITY THUNDER WITH PRECIPITATION
EXTENDING WELL BEHIND THE LEADING EDGE.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRETTY CHAOTIC WITHIN PRECIPITATION AREA
BUT EXPECTED MAINLY A SOUTHEAST FLOW UNTIL MAIN FRONT PUSHES IN
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
