Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 2:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
253 PM CDT SAT APR 18 2009

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST CHALLENGES DEAL WITH PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH SUNDAY.

CURRENTLY...HAD AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION
OVER EASTERN KANSAS HAS MOVED EAST OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND HAS STALLED OVER GREEN COUNTY. BOUNDARY
CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM ROUGHLY BUFFALO...TO SPRINGFIELD TO
CASSVILLE. MOISTURE FROM NORTHERN ARKANSAS HAS BEEN RIDING NORTH
AND SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY
OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS. OTHERWISE...CWA REMAINS MOSTLY DRY
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER EASTERN TEXAS HAS DONE A
SIGNIFICANT JOB THIS MORNING IN KEEPING MOST OF ENERGY/MOISTURE
BLOCKED FROM MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE CWA. FARTHER WEST...LARGE
UPPER LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER WESTERN KANSAS/EASTERN
COLORADO. MOSAIC RADAR BEGINNING TO SHOW CONVECTION DEVELOPING
OVER NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS
CONVECTION IS THE AREA OF CONCERN FOR LATER ON THIS EVENING.

FOR THIS EVENING...UPPER LOW SLOWLY TRACKS NEAR THE CENTRAL
KANSAS/OKLAHOMA. COMPLEX WILL REMAIN OVER EASTERN TEXAS AND
SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS EVENING...SO WIDESPREAD HEAVY
RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED. THERE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY
OVER EASTERN KANSAS THIS EVENING AS WRF IS SHOWING CAPES AROUND 700/900
J/KG. EXPECT THE MORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM OVER EASTERN
KANSAS EARLY THIS EVENING AND THEN FORM INTO A WEAKENING SQUALL
LINE INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES. WILL NEED TO WATCH THE MOISTURE
MOVING IN FROM ARKANSAS AS WELL...THOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE A
LITTLE LESS WITH THE CLOUD COVERAGE. CONTINUED MAIN THREAT AS
QUARTER SIZED HAIL FOR OUR WESTERN ZONES THIS EVENING IN THE
AFTERNOON HWO.

BY SUNDAY MORNING...UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO OPEN OVER NORTHERN
ARKANSAS/SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE EASTWARD.
SHOULD SEE OUR BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN SUNDAY MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON AS WE REMAIN IN THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE THROUGH EARLY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

DO SHOW SOME COLDER TEMPERATURES AS 850MB TEMPS FALL TO +3C
MONDAY MORNING...THEN -2C TUESDAY MORNING. WOULD EQUATE TO LOWS IN
THE MID 30S AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S/LOW 60S MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
GFS SHOWS A SMALL CLIPPER SYSTEM TUESDAY MORNING AROUND THE BACK
SIDE OF THE LOW THAT COULD GIVE US SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION IN OUR
EASTERN COUNTIES. FOR NOW THOUGH...KEPT THE FORECAST DRY. BY
WEDNESDAY...UPPER LOW FINALLY MOVES FAR ENOUGH EAST FOR WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO RETURN AND A WARMUP TO COMMENCE.

CLAYCOMB

&&

.AVIATION...

A VERY COMPLICATED FORECAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A STRONG
UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION. WE HAD A
PERIOD OF IFR CEILINGS AND NORTHWEST WINDS SETTLE IN TO KJLN THIS
MORNING BEHIND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. CEILINGS ARE NOW LIFTING...AND
WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE MVFR CATEGORY FOR THE REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS SAME BOUNDARY IS NOW APPROACHING KSGF BUT
WEAKENING WITH TIME. THINK THIS BOUNDARY WILL PRODUCE A FEW RAIN
SHOWERS AND A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST AT KSGF. MVFR
VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED WITH ANY HEAVIER RAIN SHOWERS.
CEILINGS MAY THEN SCATTER OUT FOR A TIME THIS EVENING AT KJLN AND
KSGF...BUT STILL THINK AT LEAST PATCHES OF MVFR WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT...WITH IFR CEILINGS LIKELY BEHIND THE FRONT. VISIBILITIES
WILL ALSO LIKELY DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY LATER THIS EVENING.
WILL ALSO NEED TO WATCH THE PROGRESS OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THIS
FRONT AS THEY APPROACH FROM KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA.
