AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
127 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2009

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

AT 1 PM...THE CONVECTION EAST OF SPRINGFIELD ALONG THE WARM FRONT
IS NOW TAPPING SURFACE PARCELS AS THE MIXED LAYER INHIBITION FROM
THIS MORNING HAS BEEN ERODED. 700 MB DRY AIR IS ALSO BEGINNING TO
WORK ITS WAY OVER THIS AREA...INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF
DAMAGING WINDS.

DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS WITH 30 TO 40 KNOTS
OVER THE ENTIRE CWA. 0 TO 1 KM SHEAR IS ORIENTED ALONG THE DEEP
LAYER SHEAR WITH VALUES OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS. THIS SHEAR VECTOR
ORIENTATION SUGGESTS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SPLITTING
SUPERCELLS...TRENDING TO TOWARD MORE OF A HAIL THREAT AND A
DIMINISHED TORNADO THREAT.

ISOLATED CONVECTION IS FORMING ALONG THE WARM FRONT WEST OF
SPRINGFIELD...BUT HAS NOT TAPPED SURFACE PARCELS AS OF YET.
HOWEVER...THE CAP IS STEADILY ERODING FROM EAST TO WEST SO
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE WARM FRONT CAN BE
EXPECTED BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS/CHALLENGES IN THIS PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH
SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES THROUGH TONIGHT...THEN ATTENTION WILL TURN
TO DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS DURING THE MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THE WEEK.

CURRENTLY...SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. A SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM CONTINUES TO PUSH
EAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS MORNING AND IF ITS ABLE TO
SUSTAIN ITSELF IT SHOULD PUSH INTO THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN CWA
AROUND 10Z. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS
CENTRAL KANSAS AND THIS ACTIVITY IS SLOWLY PUSHING TO THE EAST
NORTHEAST. THE LOW LEVEL JET IS CURRENTLY AROUND 30 TO 35KT OUT OF
THE SOUTH AND SHOULD VEER TO THE EAST AND NOSE INTO THE AREA.
THERE IS ELEVATED INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION AREA THIS MORNING
WITH GENERALLY 1000 TO 1500 J/KG OF MU-CAPE ACROSS THE AREA. ANY
ACTIVITY THE DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA SHOULD BE ELEVATED...BUT WILL
HAVE TO WATCH THE STORMS TO THE WEST AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY SURFACE
BASED AND COULD REMAIN SURFACE BASED AS THEY MOVE INTO THE AREA.
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT THAT GREAT OVER THE AREA AND MID
LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE WARM AS 500 MB TEMPERATURES ARE
AROUND -8 TO -9 DEGREES. THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE HAIL AND SEVERE
THREAT THIS MORNING...BUT THERE WILL REMAIN A MARGINAL THREAT WITH
THE ELEVATED CONVECTION. IF THE SUPERCELL TO THE WEST MAINTAINS
ITSELF THERE WILL BE A GREATER SEVERE THREAT WITH THAT ACTIVITY.

FEEL THAT CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OVER THE REGION THIS
MORNING AND WILL GENERALLY PUSH EAST OF THE AREA BY THE AFTERNOON.
THERE SHOULD BE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI
THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION SHOULD REDEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GIVEN
THE WIND FIELDS SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THESE AREAS.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL SPREAD EAST TOWARDS THE AREA AND WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP INTO AN MCS NEAR OR OVER THE AREA. THERE IS POTENTIAL
FOR SUPERCELLS ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN CWA BEFORE THE STORMS
DEVELOP INTO AN MCS. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY SUPERCELL...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE
MAIN HAZARDS WITH THE MCS OVERNIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION BY MID WEEK
BRINGING AN END TO THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN. UNDER THE RIDGE
MUCH WARMER WEATHER WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 90S POSSIBLE. WITH THE RECENT RAINS THE GROUND IS
VERY GREEN AND MOIST AND THE MODELS ARE LIKELY OVERDOING HIGHS
SOME...THUS HAVE UNDER CUT HIGHS A FEW DEGREES. THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO MUGGY CONDITIONS...AND HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL LIKELY WARM INTO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL SWING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS LATE IN THE WEEK...WHICH
WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA...BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER
CONDITIONS AND CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE
START OF THE WEEKEND.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH A
WARM FRONT JUST NORTH OF THE JOPLIN AND SPRINGFIELD TERMINALS.
OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP OVER KANSAS BY THIS EVENING THEN SPREAD EAST INTO THE
MISSOURI OZARKS TONIGHT. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANYING
THESE STORMS AS THEY PUSH ACROSS THE AREA. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO DEVELOP TONIGHT AS THE
LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS.
