AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
839 PM CDT MON MAR 9 2009

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SHOWN A GRADUAL STRENGTHENING TREND OFF TO THE
WEST OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS AS SLIGHTLY BETTER DYNAMICS AND A
WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVE ON TO THE PLAINS. SEVERAL OF THESE
STORMS HAVE EXHIBITED SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS AND WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO AS THEY MOVE NORTHEAST...EVENTUALLY AFFECTING PORTIONS OF
THE SGF CWA. THE EXTREME NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA MAY SEE
THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE 10 PM. HOWEVER...THE MAIN ACTIVITY WILL PUSH
INTO THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS COUNTIES JUST BEFORE
MIDNIGHT...WITH THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
FOLLOWING DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

MOST RECENT ANALYSIS INDICATES A CONTINUED MOISTURE FEED NORTH
INTO EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. AS
FORCING MOVES INTO THIS RELATIVELY JUICY AIR...ANTICIPATE THAT
STORMS WILL MAINTAIN THEMSELVES AND CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT
SUPERCELLULAR CHARACTERISTICS. THE MAIN QUESTION IN OVERALL
SEVERE POTENTIAL AT THIS POINT LIES IN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY
AVAILABLE TO STORMS AS THEY MOVE INTO THE OZARKS. SHEAR
PARAMETERS...INCLUDING LOW LEVEL SHEAR...IS PLENTIFUL AND WILL
SUPPORT ROTATION WITH SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS. AT THE SAME TIME...THE
LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY...ENHANCING LOW LEVEL
HELICITIES AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.THE FORECAST
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRACK REMAINS WEST OF THE CWA WITH THE BEST
INSTABILITY OVERNIGHT REMAINING PRIMARILY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44
AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 65. THESE AREAS WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE OF
SEVERE WEATHER...WHILE AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF AN ANDERSON TO
OSCEOLA LINE HAVE THE GREATEST RISK OF SEEING A TORNADO.

IS ALSO POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI. MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE BOSTON MOUNTAINS APPEARS THAT
IT WILL SPILL AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIDGE AND INTO THE WEST
PLAINS REGION. THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO SPARK OFF A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HAIL AND
PERHAPS DAMAGING WINDS.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z TAF PACKAGE...TSTORMS HAVE INITIATED OVER KANSAS AND
OKLAHOMA AND WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE JLN...AND EVENTUALLY
SGF...AREAS LATER THIS EVENING. STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED IN
NATURE AND MAY NOT NECESSARILY IMPACT EACH AERODROME. WITH TIMING
ALSO IN QUESTION...HAVE MENTIONED CB BUT LEFT OUT TS WORDING AT
THIS TIME. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE RAPIDLY IF STORMS MOVE OVER
THE TAF SITE. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE AN ISSUE FROM LATE
EVENING THROUGH APPROXIMATELY SUNRISE WITH A STRONG JET JUST OFF
THE SFC. IN ABSENCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN VFR FOR THE DURATION OF THE TAF PERIOD WITH SOUTH WINDS
PREVAILING.
