AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
622 AM CDT SAT APR 4 2009

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

BUSY FORECAST PACKAGE TODAY WITH HEIGHTENED FIRE CONCERNS
AND WINDY CONDITIONS TODAY...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT...SUB-
FREEZING TEMPERATURES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND SNOW
CHANCES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

STRONG SYNOPTIC SURFACE LOW TAKING SHAPE OVER THE HIGH PLAINS
EARLY THIS MORNING IN ADVANCE OF CLOSED UPPER LOW OUT IN THE
SOUTHERN ROCKIES. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WAS SCOURED OUT WITH THE LAST
COLD FRONT AND DEW POINTS WERE STILL IN THE 20S TO LOW 30S OVER
THE CWA. HAVE TO GO INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS TO GET ANY 50 DEWPOINT AT
THIS HOUR AND WILL BE THE MAIN LACKING INGREDIENT FOR A DECENT
SEVERE THREAT LATER TONIGHT.

SURFACE LOW WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS TODAY
AS UPPER WAVE BEGINS TO LIFT OUT OF THE ROCKIES. TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL CAUSE SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH AND
GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH WEST OF THE PLATEAU BUT SHOULD REMAIN JUST
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH
HUMIDITIES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S TODAY TO PRODUCE AN INCREASED
FIRE DANGER...BUT HUMIDITIES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITERIA FOR A
RED FLAG WARNING.  WILL BE STRONGLY WORDING HWO FOR FIRE DANGER TODAY.

NARROW RIBBON OF HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL BE POSSIBLE JUST
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND
WILL PROBABLY SEE A BAND OF CONVECTION DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
PRETTY DECENT SHEAR AVAILABLE HOWEVER WITH LACKING
MOISTURE...INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED FOR ANY DECENT CHANCES OF
SEVERE STORMS. BEST OPPORTUNITY WILL LIKELY BE DURING THE EARLY TO
MID EVENING OVER THE WESTERN CWA.

COLD AIR WILL QUICKLY RUSH IN BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON SUNDAY. HIGHS ON SUNDAY
WILL LIKELY BE IN THE MORNING WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF FAR
EASTERN COUNTIES IN CWA WHERE A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

FREEZE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT AS SEVERAL WAVES OF ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO DROP COLD AIR
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH/NORTHWEST. WILL LIKELY SEE
TEMPERATURES DIP BELOW FREEZING EACH OF THE 3 NIGHTS WITH LOW TO
MID 20S POSSIBLE ON MONDAY NIGHT. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND UPPER ENERGY
MAY BE AVAILABLE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY FOR SOME LIGHT
SNOW...ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO THE EASTERN OZARKS.
WHILE NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED...CURRENTLY HAVE
AROUND A HALF INCH POSSIBLE OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI.

ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO ENTER THE WEST COAST BY
TUESDAY AS THE FIRST SYSTEM AFFECTS THE EASTERN U.S. WILL SEE A
PERIOD OF RISING UPPER HEIGHTS AND RIDGING DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THE UPCOMING WEEK WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR A WARMING TREND BEFORE
THE NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK BRINGING ANOTHER
CHANCE OF RAIN.

800 FEET AGL AT KSGF AS LATEST SOUNDING AND VAD WIND PROFILER SHOW
40-45 KNOT WINDS AT THAT LEVEL. WILL ADJUST WIND SHEAR LEVEL TO
AROUND 1000 FEET AT JOPLIN TO ADJUST FOR ELEVATION. BY AROUND 15Z
THE WINDS SHOULD MIX DOWN ENOUGH TO LET SHEAR GO. SURFACE WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN SUSTAINED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS OUT OF THE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS
POSSIBLE DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT AHEAD OF A SURFACE LOW DEEPENING OVER THE
