AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1150 PM CDT TUE MAY 11 2010

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

LOW LEVEL JET WAS KICKING IN AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG AND
NORTH OF WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM NEAR PITTSBURG KANSAS TO
BOLIVAR TO ROLLA. SO FAR HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN DIME
SIZE HAIL WITH THE STRONGER UPDRAFTS EVEN WITH STRONG DIVERGENCE
ALOFT. HEAVY RAIN HAS BEEN THE MAIN ISSUE SO FAR WITH 1-2 INCH PER
HOUR AMOUNTS CAUSING SOME FLASH FLOODING. WITH STORMS TRAINING
OVER THE SAME AREAS COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL 1-2 INCH AMOUNTS OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

.DISCUSSION...

AS MENTIONED WITHIN THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...A CLUSTER
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI.  THIS
ACTIVITY WILL EITHER BE MOVING OUT OF THE CWA OR DISSIPATING TOWARD
DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY.  CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THAT COULD TRIGGER ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE OZARKS WILL BE POSITIONED WELL
WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR.  THIS IS HIGHLY CONDITIONAL SINCE THE OZARKS
AIRMASS WILL BE FAIRLY CAPPED...THEREFORE MOST LOCATIONS DURING THE
DAY WEDNESDAY SHOULD REMAIN DRY.

MEANWHILE CONVECTION WILL BE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE KANSAS FLINT
HILLS BY WEDNESDAY EVENING IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT.  THIS COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT INTO THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR
BY 12Z THURSDAY...WHICH WOULD NOT BE A FAVORABLE TIME OF DAY FOR DEEP
CONVECTION.  HOWEVER...IF THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI
THROUGH THE REST OF THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THEN BETTER THUNDERSTORMS
COULD DEVELOP NEAR THE WARM SECTOR.  A BAND OF ELEVATED CONVECTION
REMAINS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE OSAGE PLAINS AND INTO
CENTRAL MISSOURI...CAUSED BY AN INCREASE IN MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS.
ELEVATED CAPE VALUES WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A FEW HAILERS...SO WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS INTO
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  RESIDUAL CONVECTION WILL LINGER INTO THURSDAY
EVENING...EVENTUALLY DISSIPATING BY FRIDAY MORNING.

BY FRIDAY...THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL OF SHIFTED WELL INTO THE DEEP
SOUTH...ALLOWING A MORE STABLE AIRMASS TO SPREAD ACROSS THE OZARKS.
THIS WILL PROVIDE A SHORT WINDOW OF DRY WEATHER...WITH SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

AS WE ADVANCE INTO THE WEEKEND...A LOOSE SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME
EVOLVES OVER THE NATIONS MID SECTION.  MEDIUM RANGE SOLUTIONS
SUGGEST SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES MIGRATING ACROSS THE MID LEVEL
FLOW...POTENTIALLY SETTING OFF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
RETURN FLOW WILL ALSO TRY TO EVOLVE...BRINGING BACK GULF MOISTURE.

GIVEN THIS TYPE OF PATTERN IN THE LONG RANGE FORECAST...IT'S NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE TRYING TO PINPOINT WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR...SINCE
ITS DIFFICULT IN DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THESE SMALL/WEAK UPPER
DISTURBANCES.  OFTEN MODELS BRING QPF BACK NORTHWARD TOO QUICKLY IN
THESE SITUATIONS...THEREFORE ITS VERY POSSIBLE SOME LOCATIONS COULD
REMAIN DRY.  FUTURE MODEL RUNS WILL SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS WEEKENDS
FORECAST.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...AS EXPECTED...CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET HAS INCREASED
AFTER SUNSET. THE CONVECTION HAS MAINLY REMAINED NORTH OF
JLN/SGF/BBG TAF LOCATIONS AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH STORMS SHIFTING NORTH/NORTHEAST
INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. COULD SEE SOME MVFR FOG DEVELOPING NEAR BBG
INTO SGF DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL PICK UP AFTER
SUNRISE AT ALL THREE LOCATIONS. WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT
ON WEDNESDAY LATE IN THE TAF FORECAST...JLN MAY SEE SOME CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT WEDNESDAY EVENING.

758 PM CDT TUE MAY 11 2010

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

 LIMITED RISK FOR TORNADOES.

 ELEVATED RISK FOR HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS.

 ELEVATED RISK FOR THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH.

 ELEVATED RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING.

 SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR LIGHTNING.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING...

MAINLY AREAS NORTH OF A JOPLIN TO SPRINGFIELD TO SALEM LINE LATE
THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

  DISCUSSION...

A THERMAL CAP HAS KEPT AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
FROM DEVELOPING ALONG A WARM FRONT. HOWEVER...WINDS IN THE LOWER
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN LATE THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL AID IN THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...MAINLY NORTH OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. STORMS AROUND THE BOUNDARY MAY HAVE AN ISOLATED
CHANCE OF BECOMING SURFACE BASED WITH A LOW TORNADO POTENTIAL.
LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL BE THE MORE LIKELY SEVERE WEATHER RISKS ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT TONIGHT.

IN ADDITION TO THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT...HEAVY RAIN
WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI WHICH
MAY LEAD TO AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IF THUNDERSTORMS
TRAIN OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

 AN ELEVATED RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY
 NIGHT WITH A LIMITED RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ON THURSDAY AS A
 COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE OZARKS. ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
 THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

 WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED DURING THE
 WEEK...THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING AND FLOODING POTENTIAL
 WILL INCREASE AS THE GROUND BECOMES SATURATED.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS MAY BE NEEDED LATE THIS EVENING ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IN A LINE ROUGHLY FROM NEAR JOPLIN TO SPRINGFIELD TO SALEM.
