AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
222 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2009

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FOCUS THIS FORECAST WILL BE WITH CONTINUED CONVECTIVE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES...SEVERE CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND
FLOODING POTENTIAL.

PERSISTENT SUBTROPICAL UPPER PATTERN FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. A STRONG
SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS UPPER FLOW WAS LIFTING NORTHEAST
OUT OF NEW MEXICO INTO SOUTHERN COLORADO/WESTERN KANSAS AND THE
TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE REGION. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...A
NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED FROM JUST NORTH OF JLN TO
NEAR AIZ WITHIN THE CWA. THE AREA SOUTH OF THE FRONT HAS BEEN
MOSTLY SUNNY THROUGH THE MORNING WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID
70S AND TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S. THIS HAS ALLOWED
SURFACE BASED CAPES TO CLIMB INTO THE 4500 J/KG AREA WITH LITTLE
TO NO CIN. COULD SEE CONVECTION DEVELOP WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR
TWO ALONG THE BOUNDARY HOWEVER MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL OCCUR
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY BEGINS TO
MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

MODELS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS/COVERAGE
WITH THIS SYSTEM TONIGHT. PREFER THE NAM AND LOCALLY RUN WRFNMM
WHICH BRING HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONT FROM LATE
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. HAVE INITIALLY PEGGED THIS AREA WITH THE
HIGHEST POPS AND QPF. THIS AREA ALSO RECEIVED SOME OF THE
HEAVIEST RAIN FROM YESTERDAY/LAST NIGHTS PRECIPITATION AND HAVE
ALREADY SENT OUT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 5 PM THROUGH 7 AM THU.
GIVEN THE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WOULD ALSO EXPECT SOME SEVERE
WEATHER THIS EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES IN. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ALL
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHWESTERN CWA.

BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY WITH
HIGHEST POPS SHIFTING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY.
BOUNDARY SHOULD PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT
WILL LIKELY HANG UP OVER ARKANSAS. FRONT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK
TO THE NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND AS UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD
NORTH. THIS WILL BRING BETTER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BACK INTO THE
FORECAST AREA.

FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD (SAT THROUGH WED)...

WESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE AT THE ONSET OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD AND
WILL KEEP THREAT OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE FORECAST.  SEVERAL
SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM SATURDAY INTO MONDAY WITH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING IN THE VICINITY.  BY TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL DEVELOP EASTWARD OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION WHICH SHOULD KEEP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO
THE NORTH OF THE AREA IN ADDITION TO BRINGING WARMER TEMPERATURES TO
THE AREA.

LINDENBERG

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THIS AFTERNOON BUT THUNDERSTORMS
WILL INCREASE DURING THE MID AND LATE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TO
BROKEN CUMULUS WILL DEVELOP AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. EXPECT A
LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE THIS EVENING BRINGING GUSTY WINDS AND PERIODS
OF MVFR CONDITIONS. SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE.
