AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1155 PM CDT THU APR 30 2009

.UPDATE...

STORMS HAVE INCREASED DURING THE PAST HOUR OR TWO ALONG AND WEST
OF AN OSCEOLA TO SPRINGFIELD TO AVA LINE AS THE LOW LEVEL JET AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASED OVER THE REGION. HIGH FREEZING LEVEL AND
NARROW CAPE OFF THE 00Z SOUNDING SUGGEST THAT ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCERS. WE ARE KEEPING
A CLOSE EYE ON STORMS OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AS THEY SHOW HAIL
POTENTIAL WITH 50 DBZ CORES OVER 35 KFT.

TERRY

.DISCUSSION...

SOGGY WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. A MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CROSSING THE AREA WAS PRODUCING WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS. SOME THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOTED ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
ALONG THE CLEARING LINE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY HAVE BEEN FAIRLY
MODEST AND GENERALLY LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH.

THE WET AND ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTERACT WITH A STALLING
FRONT AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE. WITH THIS IN MIND...THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED INTO SUNDAY.

FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT RAINFALL TO TAPER OFF THIS EVENING IN THE WAKE OF THE
PASSING SHORTWAVE. IT APPEARS THAT THE STRONGER CONVECTION WILL
REMAIN TO THE SOUTH WITHIN REGION OF GREATER INSTABILITY. HOWEVER
CONVECTION MAY INCREASE LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY
PARTICULARLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AS A
LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS.

ON FRIDAY...A FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE OZARKS. THE DEGREE
OF INSTABILITY AND RESULTING RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS IN
QUESTION. IT APPEARS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG CONVECTION
WILL BE ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI AHEAD OF THE FRONT. OTHERWISE
EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT AS A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET INTERSECTS THE FRONT.

FOR SATURDAY...PERIODS OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL PERSIST
AS THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND AN UPPER TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN AN OVERRUNNING REGIME
AS A PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL JET INTERSECTS THE FRONT. 850 MB
DEWPOINTS IN THE 10 TO 15 DEGREE CELSIUS RANGE AND PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES NEAR 1.5 INCHES WILL SUPPORT HEAVY RAINFALL
POTENTIAL. OTHERWISE THE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN COOLER
TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND.

ON SUNDAY...A FINAL PRIMARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO TRACK
ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING MORE RAINFALL. WE WILL REMAIN ON THE COOL
SIDE OF THE FRONT WITH HIGHS POTENTIALLY REMAINING IN THE 50S
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI.

UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES ON THE TIMING OF FEATURES IN THE EXTENDED
BUT THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST A BIT OF A BREAK ON MONDAY. HOWEVER
THE OVERALL ACTIVE PATTERN WILL LIKELY PERSIST.

FOSTER

&&

.AVIATION...

WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF AT LEAST VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS STORM ACTIVITY INCREASES OVER SOUTHWEST
MO/SOUTHEAST KS. A SURFACE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY PUSH SOUTH ACROSS
THE AIRPORTS DURING THE MORNING AND SHOULD RESULT IN A FAIRLY
ABRUPT SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST DURING THE MORNING.
UPSLOPE NORTHEAST FLOW MAY DROP CEILINGS TO IFR BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. FOR NOW HAVE OPTED TO GO MVFR BUT WANT TO ALERT OUR
USERS TO THAT POTENTIAL.

UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL CONTINUE TO OVERRIDE THE FRONT AND
SHOULD LEAD TO CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING.

  DISCUSSION:

UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTERACTING WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL
