AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
659 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2008

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED FROM NORTH OF NEVADA
TO NEAR LEBANON EARLY THIS EVENING. THIS CONVECTION WAS FORMING
WITHIN AN AXIS OF 850 MB FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING AND MASS
CONVERGENCE.

MORE INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS WERE ERUPTING FARTHER WEST FROM NORTH
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY WAS FORMING
WITHIN AN AXIS OF STRONG INSTABILITY AND A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
JET. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND
EVOLVE INTO A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WITH TIME. THIS COMPLEX OF STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS
AND INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS. WHILE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS ISOLATED
TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT SOUTH OF A GIRARD KANSAS TO
SPRINGFIELD LINE.

VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING WILL ALSO BE LIKELY AS RICH
MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO THE AREA.

.DISCUSSION...

MCS REMNANTS MOVED ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS STARTED TO REDEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES ON THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE CLOUD SHIELD FROM THIS MORNINGS MCS.
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE TODAY WITH READINGS
STILL IN THE UPPER 60S AT SGF WHICH HAS SPENT MOST OF THE DAY IN
THE CLOUD SHIELD AND RAINFALL TO THE LOWER 80S OVER EASTERN
MISSOURI. SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI
HAVE STARTED TO BREAK OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND TEMPERATURES HAVE SHOT
BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S. AS A RESULT...STORMS HAVE
INTENSIFIED OVER THE WESTERN CWA AND A FEW WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

THIS AREA WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCAL POINT OF ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTING UP
NEARLY STATIONARY ALONG THE MO/AR BORDER AND OVER NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. ANOTHER MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER KANSAS TONIGHT
AND TRACK ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT
INTO THIS MORNING. WILL BE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS
SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE CWA FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL OVER THESE SAME LOCATIONS.

CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
BEFORE THE FRONT BEGINS TO RETREAT BACK TO THE NORTHEAST. THE LOW
LEVEL JET WILL REMAIN ACTIVE ESPECIALLY DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI...AND THESE AREAS WILL
LIKELY RECEIVE THE MAJORITY OF THE HEAVY RAIN.

ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEK
TOWARDS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND WILL BRING THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT CHANCE AT PRECIPITATION AFTER THIS INITIAL SYSTEM
EVENTUALLY MOVES OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THIS EVENING WITH THUNDERSTORMS
INCREASING DURING THE NIGHT. THE STORMS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS AS WELL AS IFR CONDITIONS. MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
