AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
330 PM CST WED NOV 24 2010

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FOCUS IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH ONGOING
CONVECTION AND THUNDERSTORM AND SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING. THEN ATTENTIONS TURNS TO AN ARCTIC COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE LATE THIS EVENING INTO THURSDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT...THEN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND
WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

CURRENTLY...SURFACE WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED BACK INTO THE AREA AND
GENERALLY EXTENDS FROM GAINSVILLE TO SPRINGFIELD TO EL DORADO
SPRINGS THIS AFTERNOON. TO THE EAST OF THE FRONT TEMPERATURES ARE
IN THE LOWER 50S ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI WHILE TEMPERATURES HAVE
WARMED INTO THE 70S ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS WEST OF THE FRONT.
DEWPOINTS ARE ALSO STREAMING BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST
TO THE NORTHEAST BEHIND THE WARM FRONT...AS VALUES HAVE RISEN INTO
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S. AS A RESULT OF THE WARMER TEMPERATURES AND
DEWPOINTS INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN
CWA. MLCAPE VALUES HAVE INCREASED INTO 250 TO 700 J/KG BEHIND THE
WARM FRONT. WIND SHEAR IS VERY STRONG AS 0-6KG BULK SHEAR VALUES
ARE GREATER THAN 70KTS ACROSS THE AREA...WHICH WILL BE SIGNIFICANT
TO PRODUCE ORGANIZED STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE ENOUGH INSTABILITY WITHOUT STRONG
FORCING TO MAINTAIN STORMS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE IF STORMS CAN MAINTAIN THEMSELVES AND
NOT GET SHEARED APART. STORMS ARE STARTING TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CWA GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
A MCCUNE KANSAS TO STOCKTON MISSOURI LINE. A FEW OF THIS STORMS
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE. THE SHEAR
VECTORS ARE ORIENTATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT TRAINING OF STORMS
MAYBE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
DO NOT EXPECT WIDE SPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING...BUT THERE
WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY FOR ANY AREAS THAT RECEIVE MULTIPLE
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS.

THE COLD FRONT IS BEGIN TO SURGE TO THE SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL STEADILY PUSH TO THE
SOUTHEAST INTO THE CWA THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL BE QUITE
STRONG...SO THERE WILL BE ENOUGH FORCING TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG THE FRONT. EXPECT A LINE OF STORMS TO DEVELOP NEAR THE
NORTHWESTERN CWA BY THE EARLY TO MID EVENING HOURS THEN SWEEP TO
THE SOUTHEAST. THE MAIN RISK WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE STRONG
WINDS. IF ANY STORMS CAN DEVELOP AND REMAIN AHEAD OF THE FRONT THE
WILL BE A LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADO RISK DUE TO THE STRONG
WIND SHEAR. WOULD EXPECT THE FRONT TO UNDER CUT THE FRONT AS IT
PUSHED SOUTH AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR WHICH WILL
LIMIT THE HAIL AND TORNADO RISK...HOWEVER THERE COULD REMAIN A
WIND RISK INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY SPREAD INTO THE AREA BEHIND
THE FRONT TONIGHT. THIS EVENING AND DURING THE EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS...THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD END PRETTY QUICKLY BEHIND THE
FRONT. HOWEVER...THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AS IT EXITS THE
AREA OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL
WAVE AND LIFT FROM THE UPPER LEVEL JET THAT REMAINS OVER THE AREA
BEHIND THE FRONT. SO...EXPECT POST FRONTAL PRECIPITATION LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE
44 CORRIDOR. THE 850MB FRONT WILL LAG BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONT SO
WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL BE PRESENT ALOFT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET TOMORROW...WITH LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE STILL QUESTION ON THE EXACT
LOCATION AND AMOUNTS OF ANY WINTRY WEATHER. THE 850MB FRONT WILL
OVERTAKE THE AREA WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR A SLEET SNOW RISK BEFORE IT
ENDS THURSDAY EVENING.

AGAIN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
HIGHS ONLY EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE 30S ON THURSDAY WITH LOWS
DROPPING INTO THE TEENS THURSDAY NIGHT. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL ACCOMPANY THE COLDER AIRMASS WHICH WILL ALLOW WIND CHILLS TO
DROP INTO THE TEENS TO THE SINGLE DIGITS. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM
WILL IMPACT THE ARE EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD THROUGH THE FORECAST
EXPECTED. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE ONGOING AT THE ONSET OF THE
TAFS AT ALL 3 LOCATIONS WITH VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW IN ADVANCE
OF THE NEXT STRONG COLD FRONT. LOW CEILINGS AND DENSE FOG HAVE
DEVELOPED IN ADVANCE OF A NORTHWARD SURGING WARM FRONT THIS
MORNING AND MAY PERSIST INTO THE MID AFTERNOON. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHWEST MISSOURI LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT BEGINS TO PUSH
SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT AND SHIFT EAST OVERNIGHT. A SHARP WINDSHIFT WILL
OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OVERNIGHT AND
LIKELY IFR CEILINGS PERSISTING. ANOTHER WAVE IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT THURSDAY MORNING WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING
MORE PRECIPITATION ON THURSDAY AND COULD BE IN THE FORM OF
FREEZING RAIN AS 850 FRONT WILL LAG BEHIND THE INITIALLY SHALLOW
COLD AIR MASS.

  THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO

  STORMS SHOULD THEN  TRANSITION INTO A SQUALL LINE AS AN ARCTIC
  COLD FRONT ACCELERATES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA LATER
  THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COMBINATION OF
  EXTREME WIND SHEAR AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN A
  THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH...HAIL TO THE SIZE
  OF QUARTERS...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK
  AREA TONIGHT.

  AS THIS ARCTIC COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION...BRISK AND
  GUSTY WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND USHER IN A MUCH COLDER
  AIRMASS. WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS TO THE SINGLE DIGITS ARE
  POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WEST
  CENTRAL MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITATION IS

  WITH ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH POSSIBLE
  ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE ICE ACCUMULATION
  WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO ELEVATED OBJECTS INCLUDING BRIDGES
  AND OVERPASSES. MINOR SLEET AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL ALSO BE
  POSSIBLE. MEANWHILE...WIND CHILLS IN THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS
  AND TEENS WILL CONTINUE FROM THANKSGIVING INTO EARLY FRIDAY
  MORNING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
