AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
601 PM CST WED MAR 10 2010

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

INTENSE CELL HAS DEVELOPED JUST SOUTH OF JOPLIN AT 2330Z AHEAD OF
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRACKING FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TOWARD
SOUTHEAST KANSAS. AN ATTENDANT DRY EXTENDED SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE
DRY LINE AS IT PUSHES NORTHEAST TOWARD THE OZARKS. SOME BACKING OF
LOW LEVEL WINDS HAVE RESULTED IN ENHANCED LOW LEVEL HELICITIES AND
0-1KM SHEAR JUST AHEAD OF THE LINE OF DEVELOPING CONVECTION. THIS
WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI EARLY THIS EVENING.

ADDITIONAL CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS WILL ALSO
SPREAD NORTH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI BY MID EVENING. THIS AREA
WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS SURFACE MOISTURE WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE.

WHILE INSTABILITY WILL DIMINISH WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...SYNOPTIC
SCALE FORCING WILL INCREASE AS AN UPPER LOW LIFT NORTH INTO
EASTERN KANSAS AND A POWERFUL 80 KT MID LEVEL JET STREAKS INTO THE
REGION.

THIS WILL MAINTAIN THE RISK OF DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL. AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY
EARLY THIS EVENING.

.DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN FORECAST FOCUS IN THIS PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH
THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE POTENTIAL LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

CURRENTLY...STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LOCATED ACROSS THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE...WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE LOCATED
ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM STRONG
AND GUSTY WINDS HAVE OCCURRED ACROSS THE AREA. MOISTURE IS SLOWLY
ADVECTING NORTH...BUT IS SLOW TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA. VERY WARM
CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING AS TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 70S.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BEGIN TO LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST THIS
AFTERNOON. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT NORTH AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...HOWEVER JUST HOW FAR NORTH IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT IS
IN QUESTION. WIND SHEAR IS QUITE STRONG ACROSS THE AREA AS AN
UPPER LEVEL JET IS PUSHING INTO THE REGION. INSTABILITY HAS
INCREASED ACROSS THE AREA AS A RESULT OF THE WARM TEMPERATURES.
MOISTURE IS LIMITED ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS MAY LIMIT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL IN THESE
AREAS. A FEW STORMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER ACTIVITY TRIED
TO DEVELOP IN THIS REGION BUT HAS STRUGGLED. WITH STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND COOL TEMPERATURES ALOFT...THERE WILL BE A DECENT HAIL
THREAT LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING IF ANY STORMS THAT
CAN MAINTAIN THEMSELVES ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN CWA. WITH THE LARGE
DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS ACROSS THIS AREA...THE TORNADO THREAT WILL
BE LIMITED.

AS THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS TO THE NORTH...A DRY LINE/COLD FRONT
WILL QUICKLY RACE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THERE COULD BE SCATTERED ACTIVITY AHEAD OF THE LINE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AGAIN WITH THE MAIN HAZARD BEING
LARGE HAIL. THINK A LINE OF STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY FORM...HOWEVER
JUST WHERE THAT IS GOING TO BE IS THE QUESTION. RIGHT NOW THE
BETTER MOISTURE IS ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI. MAY ONLY SEE SCATTERED ACTIVITY UNTIL THE
DRY LINE GETS INTO THE BETTER MOISTURE...WHERE A SQUALL LINE WILL
LIKELY DEVELOP BY THE MID EVENING HOURS. THEN THE LINE SHOULD RACE
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE MAIN
HAZARD WITH THE LINE WILL BE STRONG WINDS.

THERE WILL BE STRONG WIND SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL JET AND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW...SO MESOVORTEX
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE LINE. AN ISOLATED TORNADO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT IF ENOUGH MOISTURE CAN MAKE IT INTO THE
AREA. THE BEST SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 60 WHERE THE BETTER MOISTURE WILL BE. AGAIN THE MAIN
HAZARDS WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LARGE HAIL WITH ANY DISCRETE
CELLS AND STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SQUALL
LINE.

THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE AREA BY TOMORROW
MORNING. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL LINGER OVER THE CENTRAL U.S.
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND...WITH COOL AND CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND PERIODS
OF LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE LOW FINALLY
MOVES OFF TO THE EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE WILL REMAIN IN NORTHWEST
FLOW THROUGH MID WEEK...WHICH WILL RESULT IN NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...
A SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS EVENING WHILE
A SQUALL LINE PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION. GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF
40 KTS AND MVFR CONDITIONS MAY ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE LATE TONIGHT AS THE STORMS MOVE EAST.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

109 PM CST WED MAR 10 2010

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

 STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS
 OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS LATE THIS
 AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLF
 BALLS...DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH AND AN ISOLATED
 TORNADO WILL ALL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS.

 THESE STORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND EXTREME
 SOUTHEAST KANSAS BETWEEN 4 AND 7 PM...EVENTUALLY MOVING EAST
 INTO THE OZARKS REGION THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

 MOISTURE IS INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE STORM SYSTEM
 HOWEVER IS SLOW TO DO SO. IF MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED THIS WILL
 REDUCE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. AT THIS TIME THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR
 SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA  WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN
 MISSOURI WHERE THE BETTER MOISTURE RETURN SHOULD BE.

 THIS ACTIVE WEATHER WILL OCCUR IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF A
 VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM. THIS FEATURE WILL ALSO CAUSE GUSTY SOUTH
 WINDS IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH AT TIMES TODAY.

 IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM SYSTEM...THE STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE
 WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AROUND 30 PERCENT. THIS COULD CREATE A
 POTENTIAL FOR ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH
 OF INTERSTATE 44 THROUGH THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

 NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ACROSS PORTIONS OF
 SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON
 INTO EARLY THIS EVENING...THEN WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REST
 OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
