AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
731 AM CDT SUN MAR 8 2009

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONTINUING TO INTENSIFY ALONG A COLD FRONT WHICH
IS JUST NOW CROSSING THE MO/KS STATE LINE. THE NORTHERN END OF
THIS LINE HAS BEEN MUCH MORE ACTIVE WITH BOWING SEGMENTS AND
EMBEDDED CIRCULATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF DAMAGE NEAR THE
TOWN OF HAMMOND IN BOURBON COUNTY WITH AN EARLIER STORM. AT THIS
TIME DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH ANY BOWING SEGMENTS WITH
QUICK EVOLVING TORNADOES POSSIBLE WITH ENHANCING FEATURES SUCH AS
REAR INFLOW NOTCHES.

THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE LINE IS A LITTLE LESS ORGANIZED...BUT
STILL CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 40 TO 50 MPH WIND GUSTS. WILL MAINTAIN
A CLOSE EYE ON THIS ACTIVITY AS INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS
STILL CONDUCING OF SUPPORTING SEVERE LINE SEGMENTS.

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES/HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL
DEAL WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS MORNING...THEN
WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. FINALLY
ATTENTION TURNS TO A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS THAT WILL WORK ITS WAY
INTO THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THE WEEK.

CURRENTLY...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PUSHING INTO THE WEST CENTRAL
PLAINS. A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM A SURFACE LOW ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO
ILLINOIS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE FRONT FROM CENTRAL KANSAS INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO
ILLINOIS. THE SURFACE LOW IS BEGINNING TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST
AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PUSHES EAST. OVER THE LAST HOUR
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN THE
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND SOUTHWARD ALONG THE COLD FRONT.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WAS SLOW TO PUSH ACROSS THE ROCKIES
TODAY...BUT IT SHOULD ACCELERATE TO THE EAST THIS MORNING AS THE
TROUGH PUSHES EAST. AT THE SFC THE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST WITH THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN
CWA SHORTLY BEFORE SUNRISE THIS MORNING. ONCE THE LOW MOVES NORTH
OF THE AREA THE FRONT SHOULD RAPIDLY PUSH EAST THROUGH THE CWA AND
IT IS EXPECTED TO EXIT THE EASTERN CWA BY NOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
PUSHES EAST. THE QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO TODAYS POPS IS JUST HOW
FAR EAST WILL THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION BE AT 7 AM
THIS MORNING. WILL LIKELY MAKE A LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENT FOR POPS
BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS. THE BETTER COVERAGE WILL LIKELY BE
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI CLOSER TO THE SURFACE LOW AND BETTER LIFT.
THERE SHOULD STILL BE MUCAPE OF AROUND 500 J/KG AHEAD OF THE FRONT
THIS MORNING. THE MORNING TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD
LIMIT SEVERE POTENTIAL...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG TO
SEVERE STORM...ALL IN ALL THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE LIMITED.
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY THIS
AFTERNOON AND A COOLER AIRMASS WILL WORK INTO THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKE DROP BEHIND THE FRONT AND SLOWLY RISE THIS
AFTERNOON.

THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND STALL
TONIGHT. THEN IT WILL SURGE BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON
MONDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP
A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE...WITH THE BETTER CHANCES ACROSS
THE WESTERN CWA WHERE BETTER INSTABILITY SHOULD RESIDE. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL BE IN AN AREA OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AND WILL BE
ELEVATED...WITH THE PRIMARY SEVERE HAZARD BEING MARGINALLY SEVERE
HAIL. THE FRONT WILL PUSH NORTH OF THE AREA DURING THE EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH EAST THROUGH
THE AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WIND SHEAR WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH WITH THIS SYSTEM TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED STORMS...
SO IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL DEPEND MOST ON THE EXACT TIME OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. IF THE SYSTEM SLOWS AND THE FRONT DOES NOT PUSH THROUGH
UNTIL LATER ON TUESDAY THE SEVERE THREAT MAY INCREASE. DETAILS
WILL BECOME BETTER DEFINED ONCE THE EXACT TIMING OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE IS BETTER KNOWN.

MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT
FOR THE MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THE WEEK. LOWS WILL FALL WELL BELOW
THE FREEZING MARK WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO
MAKE IT OUT OF THE 30S FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT
WILL MOVE ON WEDNESDAY. IF THE FRONT STALLS A LITTLE FARTHER TO
THE NORTH POST FRONTAL PRECIPITATION MAY OCCUR ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
CWA. THE 00Z MED RANGE MODELS ARE TAKING THE FRONT FARTHER TO THE
SOUTH WITH MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION REMAINING JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF THE AREA. HAVE CONTINUED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A RAIN AND SNOW
MIX WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NEAR THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS
BORDER...BUT AT THIS TIME PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN LIGHT.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE...PRIMARY AVIATION HAZARD THIS MORNING
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF A FAST
MOVING COLD FRONT. STRONG WESTERLY WINDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
LINE WITH GUSTS TO 40 KTS. BRIEF MVFR VIS/CIG ARE EXPECTED WITH
THIS NARROW BAND OF RAIN...WHICH WILL LAST ONLY ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
AFTER THE LINE MOVES THROUGH...A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH CLEARING EXPECTED BY MIDDAY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON.
WEST WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...SUBSIDING
AFTER SUNSET. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
THE END OF THE TAF CYCLE.
