AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
917 PM CDT TUE JUN 8 2010

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

THE TORNADO WATCH WAS EXTENDED FOR TWO MORE HOURS THROUGH 04Z.

VERY POTENT BOWING SEGMENT MOVING ESE OUT OF BOURBON CO. KS AND
INTO WESTERN MO. THIS STORM HAS HAD A HISTORY OF PRODUCING WINDS
IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WITH SPORADIC REPORTS OF TREES DOWN.

THE RISK FOR SEVERE WILL PERSIST A LITTLE LONGER INTO THE
OVERNIGHT GIVEN A RESIDENT UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE RISK FOR
TORNADOES WILL LIKELY SUBSIDE...AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ALREADY
DOING SO...AS STORM MODE IS MORPHING TO MORE OF A LINE SEGMENT
ISSUE. AS A RESULT...THERE REMAINS AN ELEVATED WIND RISK FOR AREAS
NORTH OF THE HWY 60 CORRIDOR. SEVERE HAIL WILL BE A LITTLE HARDER
TO COME BY...BUT POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT HAVE ORGANIZED MID
LEVEL ROTATION AND ASSOCIATED STRONG UPDRAFT. HEAVY RAIN RISK IS
STILL SOLID GIVEN SLOW SYNOPTIC SYSTEM SAG TO THE SOUTH AND STORM
TRAINING THAT IS NOW UNDERWAY.

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 203 PM CDT TUE JUN 8 2010/

A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO SHIFT ACROSS
THE EASTERN OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON...MEANWHILE...IT'S OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY HAS BECOME POSITIONED ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. WE CAN
NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT ADDITIONAL CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THIS
FEATURE LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AS AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS
CONTINUES TO LOSE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION.

AS A MATTER OF FACT...AN 18Z RAOB THAT WAS CONDUCTED AT THE
SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT MEASURED CAPE VALUES OF 3836 J/KG WHEN LIFTING
FROM A MIXED LAYER. MIXED LAYER INHIBITION WAS MEASURED AT 12
J/KG...SUGGESTING THAT ADDITIONAL UPDRAFTS ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY IS QUITE POSSIBLE. WITH SHEAR GRADUALLY INCREASING OVER
THE REGION...SOME STORM ORGANIZATION IS POSSIBLE...CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. A TORNADO OR TWO CAN NOT
BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE AMOUNTS OF LOW LEVEL CAPE...OR
CAPE COMPUTED UP TO 3KM.

THE REAL TRIGGERING MECHANISM WILL OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING AS DEEP MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
INCREASES IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM AND
DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET. AN INTENSE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
EVOLVE PRODUCING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF
SEVERE WEATHER. FLASH FLOODING COULD REALLY BECOME AN ISSUE FOR
AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM JOPLIN TO VIENNA MISSOURI.
THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL INTERACT WITH AN AIRMASS THATS LOADED IN
MOISTURE CONTENT...CAUSING SLOW MOVING...AND EVEN BACK BUILDING
THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY HAVE A TENDENCY TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME
AREAS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. FOR THIS REASONING...A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED.

TOMORROWS RAIN CHANCES WILL COMPLETELY HINGE ON WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT
AND HOW THE MESOSCALE SITUATION UNFOLDS. WITH THE FRONTAL SYSTEM
IN THE AREA...WE CAN NOT RULE OUT ADDITIONAL CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...IF THE THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW SHOVES THE FRONT WELL INTO
ARKANSAS...THEN DEEP CONVECTION MAY BE MITIGATED BY CLOUD COVER
AIDED BY A LARGE COLD POOL.

BY THURSDAY THE FRONT RETREATS NORTHWARD BACK THROUGH THE CWA AS
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING STRENGTHENS. MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY
ON THURSDAY WITH A WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME OCCURRING ALOFT.
HOWEVER...WITH THE FRONT CUTTING THROUGH SOUTHERN MISSOURI...WE
DECIDED TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

THE GFS NOW HAS A CUT OFF LOW TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...BRINGING IN ANOTHER CLUSTER OF CONVECTION.
THIS CUTOFF LOW IS REAL...AND CAN BE VIEWED ON THE ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS. MODELS USUALLY HAVE A DIFFICULT
TIME HANDLING THE TRACK OF THESE TYPES OF SYSTEMS...SO WE HAVE
DECIDED TO MAINTAIN A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO PRECIP CHANCES
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND...VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL
MATERIALIZE IN RESPONSE TO A STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE EVOLVING ACROSS THE NATIONS MID SECTION. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAINING HIGH...AFTERNOON PULSE LIKE
CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 627 PM CDT TUE JUN 8 2010/

FOR THE 00Z KSGF...KJLN AND KBBG TAFS...MAIN AVIATION HAZARDS IN
THIS TAF PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH CONVECTION THAT IS CURRENTLY
EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI NEAR THE
KANSAS CITY AREA ALONG A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS ACTIVITY IS
CURRENTLY GENERALLY MOVING TO THE EAST...HOWEVER EXPECT THIS
ACTIVITY TO TAKE A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TO EVEN SOUTHERLY MOTION
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MAINTAIN
THEMSELVES AS THEY PUSH SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND TOWARDS
THE TAF SITES DURING THE MIDDLE EVENING HOURS. THERE IS HIGH
CONFIDENCE THAT THE TAF SITES WILL BE AFFECTED BY
THUNDERSTORMS...HOWEVER UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TIMING REMAINS.
THEREFORE...HAVE PUT THREE HOUR TEMPO GROUPS IN THE TAFS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT TIMING OF THIS ACTIVITY.
SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO EXPECTED...WHICH COULD LEAD
TO BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS WITHIN ANY THUNDERSTORMS.

BEHIND THE LINE OF STORMS...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WILL SPREAD OVER
THE AREA WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY.

714 PM CDT TUE JUN 8 2010

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

  THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER RISK IS...SIGNIFICANT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  THUNDERSTORM WIND RISK IS ELEVATED WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH
  POSSIBLE.
  HAIL RISK IS ELEVATED WITH HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS
  POSSIBLE.
  FLASH FLOODING RISK IS ELEVATED.
  LIGHTNING RISK IS SIGNIFICANT.
  TORNADO RISK IS LIMITED.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING...

  A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
  MISSOURI EARLY THIS EVENING...THEN PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE REST
  OF THE EARLY THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

  DISCUSSION...

  A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG AND AHEAD OF A
  COLD ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI LATE THIS
  AFTERNOON. THE MOVEMENT OF THIS ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY MORE
  EASTERLY BUT ITS EXPECTED TO TAKE A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TO MAYBE
  EVEN SOUTHERLY MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE AREA THIS EVENING.

  AN VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF
  THIS ACTIVITY SO STRONG UP DRAFTS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
  CONVECTION WILL BE LIKELY...LEADING TO AN ELEVATED RISK OF
  SEVERE HAIL. THERE WILL ALSO BE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR SEVERE
  THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY WITH ANY LINE SEGMENTS THAT
  DEVELOP. THERE WILL ALSO BE A LIMITED RISK FOR BRIEF SHORT LIVED
  TORNADOES EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS
  INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI.

  THESE STORMS WILL HAVE A TENDENCY OF MOVING SLOWLY...OR EVEN
  BACK BUILDING AT TIMES...CAUSING THUNDERSTORMS TO TRAIN OR
  REPEATEDLY DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND PORTIONS OF THE
  MISSOURI OZARKS. FLASH FLOODING COULD RESULT FROM THIS
  SITUATION.

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

  THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING ALONG A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
  ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEVERE WEATHER IS
  NOT EXPECTED...THOUGH THERE IS A LIMITED RISK OF LOCALLY HEAVY
  RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN
  POSSIBLE AT TIMES FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

  AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE MID
TO
  UPPER 90S EACH AFTERNOON FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE UPCOMING
  WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED EARLY THIS EVENING GENERALLY
  ALONG AND NORTH OF A PITTSBURG KANSAS TO ROLLA MISSOURI
  LINE...THEN POSSIBLY ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA LATER THIS
  EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS.
