AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION

.DISCUSSION...
/352 AM CDT THU MAY 13 2010/

AREA PROFILERS/VWP OBS WERE PICKING UP THE 50-60 KT SWLY LLJ AT H85
THAT WAS SUPPORTING SEVERAL MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS ACROSS
KS/MO/IA/IL. THIS IS SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN DEPICTED BY
MODEL GUIDANCE BUT OTHERWISE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. CONVECTION WILL
DIMINISH IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AS THE LLJ VEERS AND WEAKENS THIS
MORNING.

EARLY MORNING SFC ANALYSIS SHOWED A SFC LOW OVER NRN MO/SRN IA WITH
A WMFNT EXTENDING EWD THROUGH IL/IN AND A CDFNT EXTENDING SWWD
THROUGH KS/OK. THE SFC LOW CONTINUES LIFTING NEWD INTO THE GRTLKS
TODAY WHILE DRAGGING A CDFNT THROUGH MO/IL. WITH THE SFC WMFNT LOCATED
OVER NRN IL/IN BY AFTN...THE TIMING OF THE CDFNT IS A KEY ELEMENT
FOR DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF AFTN CONVECTION AND POTENTIAL SEVERE
WEATHER SINCE ITS POSITION WILL DETERMINE WHICH PARTS OF THE CWA ARE
IN THE UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR OUT AHEAD OF THE FNT. ATTM...MODEL
GUIDANCE AND EARLY MORNING SFC OBS SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT THE FRONT
WILL BE ORIENTED SW-NE FM FAR NERN MO AND WEST CENTRAL IL THROUGH
SWRN MO. ANOTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER IS THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL OUTFLOW
BDRYS /NOTED ON RADAR FM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION/ WHICH MAY FOCUS
TSRA DVLPMT LATER THIS AFTN. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE
45-55 KTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR ORIENTED NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE CDFNT AND
MLCAPE EXCEEDING 1000 J/KG. ALTHOUGH THE UPPER LOW WILL BE DISPLACED
TO THE NORTH...RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF H5 JET STREAK IS FCST TO BE
OVER MO/IL THIS AFTN AND MAY PROVIDE SOME UPPER LVL SUPPORT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS.

WILL CONTINUE THE GOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 7 PM GIVEN
PREVIOUSLY SATURATED SOILS...RAINFALL FM EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION...AND ANTICIPATED CONVECTION THIS AFTN.

APPEARS THAT MOST OF FRI AND FRI NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE AREA BEHIND THE CDFNT. RETURN FLOW SETS UP
ON SAT AFTN/EVE AS THE HIGH MOVES E OF THE AREA WITH ANOTHER LOW
PRES SYSTEM EXPECTED TO BRING SHRA/TSRA CHCS TO THE REGION ON SAT
NIGHT AND SUN. THE BETTER PRECIP CHCS APPEAR TO HOLD OFF UNTIL
SUN/SUN NIGHT. NO CHANGES PAST 12Z SUN.

.AVIATION...
/735 AM CDT THU MAY 13 2010/

OUTFLOW FROM CONVECTION HAS MADE IT THROUGH ALL TAF LOCATIONS AS
OF 12Z. EXPECT SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS THE
NOCTURNAL MCS DISSIPATES OVERHEAD THIS MORNING. THEN THE BIG
QUESTION MARK IS IF WE CAN RESET FOR THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. I THINK THOSE CHANCES ARE SMALL AND THEREFORE HAVE REMOVED
THE TEMPOS AT KSUS AND KSTL AND ONLY HAVE A CB AROUND TIME OF
FROPA.
