1242 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.UPDATE...
FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 433 AM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011/

DISCUSSION...08Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A SURFACE LOW OVER NORTH
CENTRAL KANSAS...A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY...AND A TRAILING COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS. ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS
MORNING...TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN VERY WARM AGAIN OVERNIGHT WITH
MOST LOCATIONS AVERAGING FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S AS A
NOCTURNAL 850 MB LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO ADVECT WARM AND MOIST
AIR UP FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
OVERNIGHT HAS BEEN FOCUSED NEAR THE SURFACE LOW AND ATTENDANT COLD
FRONT. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL AND CONVECTIVE CHANCES REMAIN THE
MAIN CHALLENGES IN THIS MORNING/S FORECAST PACKAGE.

SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...A SURFACE LOW
CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS WILL GRADUALLY MOVE
NORTHEAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND WEAKEN INTO WEDNESDAY.
MEANWHILE...A TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY AND INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. 00Z NAM CONVECTIVE ANALYSIS SEEMED SOMEWHAT
SUSPECT FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS AND CONSEQUENTLY LEANED THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE 00Z GFS SOLUTION.

NONETHELESS...SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS MID SOUTH TODAY. REGIONAL WSR-88D
RADAR TRENDS ALREADY SHOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING
ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. WENT WITH LIKELY
POPS THIS MORNING WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER/CHANCE POPS
EAST...AND LIKELY ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID SOUTH FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE 20 TO 30 DM 500 MB HEIGHT FALLS WILL
BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD AREAS MAINLY WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
TODAY INTO TONIGHT. SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 3000-3500
J/KG...LI/S BETWEEN -8 TO -10...MODERATELY STEEP 700-500 MB LAYER
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 6.5 TO 7 C/KM....0-6 KM BULK SHEAR
VALUES AVERAGING BETWEEN 30 TO 35 KTS SUGGESTS A POTENTIAL WILL
EXIST FOR ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT BECOME SEVERE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES OVER 2 INCHES AND K INDICIES APPROACHING 40 ALSO
SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL.

THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE MID
SOUTH AND GRADUALLY BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 2000-3000
J/KG...LIS BETWEEN -6 TO -8...MODERATELY STEEP 700-500 MB MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 6.5 TO 7 C/KM...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES
BETWEEN 40-45 KTS SUGGESTS A CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL
AGAIN BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS WITH A CONTINUED
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL AS PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES.

LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...00Z GFS/ECMWF LONG TERM
MODELS INDICATE AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THURSDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A QUASI-
STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION AND
NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW ALOFT RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF ACROSS THE
MIDDLE AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS. AS A RESULT...WENT PRIMARILY
WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MOST OF THE LONG
TERM FORECAST BASED ON MODEL TRENDS. TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL
SHORTWAVES/MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS /MCS/ WILL REMAIN A
CHALLENGE. NONETHELESS...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH DAY.
