AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
631 PM CDT WED JUN 2 2010

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...

MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS.  LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS...AND WIND GUSTS
IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THESE STORMS.

A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS HAS EVOLVED ACROSS THE REGION IN RESPONSE TO
SURFACE TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE UPPER 80S...ALONG WITH DEW
POINTS RANGING FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S.  MIXED LAYER CAPES HAVE
INCREASED TO AROUND 3500-4000 J/KG.  WIND SHEAR IS QUITE MODEST AS
0-3 KM SHEAR VECTORS ANALYZED BY THE RUC ARE SHOWING 15-20
KTS...THEREFORE SOME STORM ORGANIZATION IS LIKELY.

GIVEN THE SLOW MOVING SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST FRONTAL
SYSTEM...TRAINING OF STORMS IS ALSO POSSIBLE...WHICH COULD LEAD TO A
RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING.

CRAMER

&&

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE WITH CONVECTIVE
PRECIPITATION AND SEVERE POTENTIAL.

CURRENTLY...STRONG/SEVERE STORMS FIRING ALONG AND AHEAD OF OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM MORNING MCS ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
CWA. SURFACE FRONT STILL TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA FROM NEAR
WICHITA TO JUST SOUTHEAST OF KANSAS CITY. MLCAPES OF 3500-4000
J/KG HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG AND AHEAD OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND
2000-3000 J/KG AHEAD OF THE SURFACE FRONT. MUCH OF THE AREA OVER
CENTRAL MISSOURI REMAINS CAPPED FROM THE EARLIER MORNING
CONVECTION. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE WITH <30KTS AND
WITH WBZ VALUES ON THE HIGH END WOULD EXPECT THE MAIN SEVERE RISK
TO BE WITH DAMAGING WIND AND A LIMITED RISK OF LARGE HAIL.

FORECAST...
CONVECTION HAS YET TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT BUT BELIEVE
THIS WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES IN
FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING. HIGHEST POPS WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST CWA AS BOUNDARY SHIFTS SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA TONIGHT.
SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY DIMINISH LATER IN THE EVENING AS
INSTABILITY DECREASES AND SHEAR REMAINS RATHER WEAK.

SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA
ON THURSDAY WITH THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION EXPECTED OVER THE
SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA DURING THE DAY.

WARM AIR WILL BEGIN TO WORK BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST
ON FRIDAY WITH 850 TEMPERATURES RISING BACK ABOVE 20 DEG C BY THE
LATE AFTERNOON. WILL LIKELY SEE TEMPERATURES REACH THE LOW TO MID
90S OVER SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CWA AND AROUND 90 ELSEWHERE ON FRIDAY
WITH LOW TO MID 90S EVERYWHERE BY SATURDAY. MAIN CONVECTION
THROUGH SATURDAY SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF THE CWA BUT COULD SEE MORE
CONVECTION SHIFT SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN CWA WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DRIFTING BACK INTO THE AREA AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BRINGING
POTENTIAL OF MCS INTO THE REGION. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK WITH NORTHWEST FLOW
CONTINUING ALOFT.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z KSGF...KJLN AND KBBG TAFS...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT OVER PORTIONS OF FAR
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PUSH TO THE SOUTH THIS
EVENING AND TOWARDS THE TAF SITES. HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO GROUP AT
ALL THREE TAF SITES TO ACCOUNT FOR WHEN THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES. THE FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS
THE AREA TONIGHT AND COULD SEE LINGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN THIS ACTIVITY WITH
STRONG WINDS AND VERY LARGE HAIL THE MAIN HAZARDOUS EXPECTED.
BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITHIN ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
