AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
245 PM CDT TUE JUL 28 2009

.DISCUSSION...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN AREAL
COVERAGE OVER THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  AN ENVIRONMENT
CONDUCIVE FOR PULSE THUNDERSTORMS HAS MATERIALIZED OVER EXTREME
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS.  MIXED LAYER CAPES HAVE
INCREASED TO AROUND 2000 J/KG IN A BROAD AREA OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.  MEANWHILE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE RANGING
FROM 1.60 TO 1.80...WITHIN AN WEAKLY CAPPED TO NO CAPPED AIRMASS. A
FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL MOST LIKELY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL TO
THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS...ALONG WITH DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH.

FOR TONIGHT...A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SHIFT INTO NORTHERN
ARKANSAS AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.  THERE CONTINUES TO BE DECENT SIGNAL
WITH THE WRF MODEL THAT SUGGESTS CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER NE
OKLAHOMA AND SE KANSAS...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.  THIS OCCURS IN
RESPONSE TO ENHANCED PRESSURE ADVECTION LIFT WITHIN AN AREA WHERE
THE LOW LEVEL JET INTERSECTS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM.  FOR THIS REASON I
HAVE ELECTED TO LEAN OUR FORECAST TOWARD THE WRF SOLUTION WITH POPS
THE HIGHEST OVER SW MO / SE KS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

OVERNIGHT CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS IN OKLAHOMA WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY.  ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT IN RESPONSE
TO A STRONGER COLD FRONT THAT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST.  A FEW OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE...PRIOR
TO EXITING THE REGION MID THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE NATIONS MID
SECTION...ALLOWING A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS TO SPREAD IN.   FAIR
WEATHER CONDUCIVE FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WILL RESULT BOTH FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.  LOOK FOR LOW HUMIDITY...WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WARMING INTO
THE MID 80S.  RETURN FLOW COMMENCES DURING THE DAY ON
SATURDAY...MEANWHILE A UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH BY SUNDAY.  THIS SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY CREATE ANOTHER EPISODE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND INTO NEXT MONDAY.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE A STRONG SIGNAL WITHIN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
THAT CONFINES THE SUMMERTIME HIGH OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
MEANWHILE NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTS OVER THE OZARKS...CAUSING
ADDITIONAL CANADIAN AIRMASSES TO SPREAD IN.  THIS PATTERN WOULD KEEP
THE REGION UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH MORE RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

THE CHALLENGE FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE TIMING OF CONVECTION
AND EARLY MORNING RESTRICTIONS TO VISIBILITY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS
AFTERNOON...PRIMARILY IMPACTING THE BRANSON AERODROME. ANOTHER ROUND
OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI
AND MOVE INTO THE OZARKS FROM THE NORTHWEST ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH...IMPACTING ALL THREE AERODROMES. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE EVENING.  OVERNIGHT...THE
LOW LEVEL JET WILL IMPINGE ON THE LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG
THE ARKANSAS BORDER...SPARKING REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION THAT WILL
IMPACT THE JOPLIN AND BRANSON AERODROMES IN THE MORNING HOURS.  WITH
RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
SURFACE COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE PASSING SHORTWAVE...SOME BRIEF
MVFR VISIBILITIES MAY IMPACT THE AERODROMES IN THE MORNING.
