AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
556 AM CST SUN JAN 24 2010

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

THE INCREASING POTENTIAL OF A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM FOR THE
UPCOMING WORK WEEK AND A RETURN OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE
THE FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS.

SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. RAIN SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED TO END BY EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT. AN UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTHEAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST DRAWING A COLDER AIR MASS
SOUTH ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. TODAY WILL LIKELY
BE THE WARMEST OF THE NEXT 7 WITH THIS SHALLOW COLDER AIR MASS
BEGINNING TO SETTLE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND LINGERING THROUGH
THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

THE FOCUS OF THE FORECAST THIS WEEK WILL BE ON THE TRACK OF AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW PROGGED TO DIG INTO THE SOUTHWEST CONUS AND MOVE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND THE MID AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. WHILE THIS FAR OUT IN TIME...MODELS WILL VARY WITH THIS
TRACK FROM RUN TO RUN. HOWEVER...PATTERN RECOGNITION SPELLS
TROUBLE WITH ACCUMULATING WINTER PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF
FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW POSSIBLE IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.

FOR THIS FORECAST...HAVE FAVORED THE ECMWF/CANADIAN AND GFS
ENSEMBLES AS OPPOSED TO THE SIGNIFICANT SOUTHWARD SHIFT OF THE
OPERATIONAL GFS. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW ON THE INITIAL ONSET OF
PRECIPITATION WHICH COULD BEGIN AS RAIN AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY BUT
CONFIDENCE IS BUILDING IN REGARDS TO ACCUMULATING WINTER
PRECIPITATION ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH MODEL RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

THE UPPER LOW IS ANTICIPATED TO KICK INTO THE PLAINS MID WEEK
WITH WARM GULF MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO THE PLAINS AND OZARKS
AHEAD OF THE LOW. A 1040MB SURFACE HIGH WILL GRADUALLY BUILD
SOUTH FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS REINFORCING A COLDER AND DRIER
AIR MASS IN PLACE. BETWEEN THESE CLASHING AIR MASSES...A STRONG
ZONE OF BAROCLINICITY WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE OZARKS. WARM MOIST
GULF AIR OVERRUNNING THE SHALLOW COLD DOME WILL LIKELY PRODUCE A
VARIETY OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA WITH THERMAL PROFILES
GREATLY INFLUENCED BY THE SPRINGFIELD AND SALEM PLATEAUS. BASED
UPON FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND PROGGED THERMAL PROFILES AND WITH THE
THINKING THAT THIS BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY WILL HANG ALONG THE
NORTHERN FLANKS OF THE PLATEAU ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE SHIFTING SOUTH
ON THURSDAY...HAVE GONE WITH A FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW MIX
ON WEDNESDAY NORTH OF THE PLATEAUS WITH RAIN...FREEZING RAIN AND
SLEET POSSIBLE ALONG THE SOUTHERN FLANKS OF THE PLATEAUS. AS
DEEPER COLDER AIR ARRIVES ON THURSDAY...AREAS NORTH OF THE
PLATEAUS ARE EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO SLEET AND SNOW WHILE AREAS
SOUTH COULD SEE A CONTINUATION OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET BEFORE
THE ENTIRE AREA TRANSITIONS TO SNOW LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. THIS FAR OUT...THERMAL PROFILES ARE SUBJECTIVE AND
PRECIPITATION TYPES AND AMOUNTS ARE CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE
WITH ADDITIONAL FORECASTS PROVIDING FURTHER DETAIL AS MESOSCALE
CHARACTERISTICS BECOME MORE CERTAIN WITH TIME. STAY INFORMED THIS
WEEK BY FREQUENTLY CHECKING THE FORECAST AND HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOKS BECAUSE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING WINTER PRECIPITATION IS
BECOMING MORE LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST
MISSOURI.
