.DISCUSSION...
/411 AM CDT THU MAY 14 2009/

SYNOPSIS...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXITING THE AREA ALONG A VERY SHARP COLD
FRONT PRESENTLY ACROSS THE MO BOOTHEEL.  PRESSURE SLOWLY RISING
ACROSS THE BI-STATE REGION UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW...WITH GUSTS
UPWARDS TO 25 MPH OBSERVED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF
MO...WHICH SHOULD TAPER THRU THE EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS.
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS SOUTHEASTWARD...BUT
HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS RESULTANT OF ANVIL SPREAD AND MOVEMENT BY THE UPPER LEVEL MEAN
FLOW.  ANY RAINS SHOULD BE OUT OF THE CWA AROUND 9Z.

DISCUSSION...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL QUICKLY SETTLE IN THE
WAKE OF THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT PROVIDING A SHORT REPREIVE FROM THE
WET WEATHER WITH LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS.  COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ALLOW
FOR SKIES TO BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR FOR THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
CWA...WITH TEMPERATURES RISING AROUND 70 DEGREES...WITH SOUTHERN
PORTIONS STILL SOCKED IN BY ANVIL SPREADING FROM STORMS PROGRESSING
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS.  HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSELY WITH THE MET
MOS GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS AND WRF/NAM CLOUD TRENDS.

BUT THEN ITS DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN...MODEL GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH COLD FRONTAL PROGRESSION STALLING ALONG THE MO/AR
BORDER LIFTING NORTHWARD THRU THE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING HOURS WITH RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW.  H85 LLJ SHOULD REVAMP
ONCE AGAIN OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THE NOSE OF WHICH WILL ADVECT
NORTHWARD THRU THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND INTO WESTERN MO BY 6Z
FRIDAY...SIGNIFICANTLY MOIST H85 DEWPOINTS WILL FILTER INTO THE
REGION WITH H85 TEMPS UPWARDS TO +16C THRU CENTRAL MO.

BETWEEN THE 6Z-12Z FRIDAY TIMEFRAME PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE NORTHWARD PROGRESSING WARM FRONT WHERE
THETAE ADVECTION IS MAXIMIZED AT H85...BETTER CHANCES EXIST OVER
NORTHWESTERN MO WITH THE POTENTIAL SPREADING EASTWARD NORTH OF THE
I-70 CORRIDOR.  THUS HAVE INCREASED POPS ACCORDINGLY THRU THOSE
REGIONS WHERE PRECIP IS BEST ANTICIPATED AND IN CONCERT WITH THE
NOSE OF THE H85 LLJ AND GREATEST MOIST CONVERGENCE AND FOLLOWED A
MEAN BETWEEN MET/MAV MOS GUIDANCE.

PER HPC MODEL DIAGNOSIS AND VERFICATION HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSELY WITH
NAM MODEL MASS FIELDS FOR THE GOING FORECAST AS IT HAS REMAINED MORE
CONSISTENT WITH THE PLACING OF THE H500 TROF EXPECTED TO DIG THRU
THE NORTH-CENTRAL PLAINS BY 18Z FRIDAY AND EJECT NORTH OF THE GREAT
LAKES REGION BY LATE SATURDAY.  SAME CONSISTENCY OF THE NAM APPLIES
TO SURFACE RELATIVE FEATURES WITH LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO WESTERN ONTARIO...WITH A TRAILING COLD
FRONT THRU THE CENTRAL PLAINS.  SURFACE DEWPOINTS AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT WILL SURGE BACK INTO THE MID 60S FOR THE BI-STATE REGION BY
MIDDAY FRIDAY WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW.  HAVE MENTIONED GUSTY
WINDS IN THE GOING FORECAST FOR THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON PERIOD.

VIA THE NAM INTO THE FRI 0Z-06Z TONGUE OF MUCAPES ADVECT
NORTHEASTWARD INTO WESTERN MO AND ADVECTING EASTWARD INTO THE
BI-STATE REGION BY 12Z FRI.  COUPLED WITH DECENT 0-1/0-3 SRH AND
STRONG 0-1/0-3 SHEAR VECTORS THERE IS THE STRONG POSSIBILITY FOR
ELEVATED CONVECTION TO BLOSSOM AS AN MCS INTO THE WESTERN MO
REEGION...PERHAPS MORESO INTO NORTHERN MO AS HINTED VIA GFS/ECMWF
MODEL SOLUTION.

NAM MODEL PROGRESSES THE COLD FRONT THRU THE CWA BY 12Z SAT AND
COMPLETELY OUT OF MO BY 18Z.  DURING THIS TIME THE CONVECTIVE
PATTERN LOOKS SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS OCCURED TODAY...AND ONCE AGAIN THE
POTENTIAL OUTCOME LOOKS IFFY ON ACCOUNT OF IMPACTS OF EARLY ONGOING
ELEVATED CONVECTION/POSSIBLE MCS.  NEVERTHELESS AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT SBCAPES ARE ANTICIPATED ON THE ORDER OF 3000 J/KG OVER
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF MO...WITH 0-1/0-3 KM SHEAR VECTORS AND SRH
SUPPORTIVE OF ANOTHER POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SQUALL LINE.  0-6 BULK
SHEAR VALUES ARE ONCE AGAIN SLIGHTLY WEAK AROUND 45 KTS.  PER SPCDY2
OUTLOOK INDICATING A SLIGHT RISK HAVE CONTINUED MENTION OF THE
LIKELIHOOD FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...BUT WILL ALLOW THE UPCOMING
SHIFT TO DETERMINE WHETHER MENTIONING POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER IN
THE FORECAST.

HAVE FOLLOWED A BLEND OF GFS/ECMWF WITH THE FORECAST BEYOND SATURDAY
NIGHT.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.  IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT
TEMPS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO RISE MORE THAN 10 DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS
NIGHTS LOWS AS THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOCKED IN BY LOW
CLOUDS. HAVE ALSO INCLUDED GUSTY WINDS IN THE FORECAST WITH
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND ANTICIPATED TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDING THRU THE BI- STATE REGION. MODELS IN
AGREEMENT OF A DRYING TREND FROM 18Z SAT AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF
THE WEEK...WITH SOME DISCREPANCY IN BOTH THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF
THE HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY RISE THRU
THE WEEK.
