AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1140 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2011

.DISCUSSION...

A QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST REGARDING THE REST OF TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY.

CURRENTLY CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ALONG THE MISSOURI
ARKANSAS BORDER LATE TONIGHT. A WELL ESTABLISHED COLD FRONT
EXTENDS FROM THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH MISSOURI INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
AND INTO EAST TEXAS. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS
SLOW MOVING FRONT WITH DECENT CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY REMAINING ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY. UNMODIFIED 00Z SGF SOUNDING REVEALED WELL
OVER 3000 J/KG 100MB MLCAPE AVAILABLE WITH ONLY -19 MLCIN. MODEST
700-500MB LAPSE RATES REMAIN ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND
INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS WERE SEVERE STORMS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP. LARGE HAIL REMAINS THE PRIMARY THREAT AS THE
ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO FAVOR WELL SUSTAINED STRONG UPDRAFTS.
RECENT WV SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A SMALL PIECE OF
ENERGY LIFTING ACROSS THE FOUR STATE AREA OF
MISSOURI...ARKANSAS...OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS. THIS UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE APPEARS RELATED TO THE DIVERGENCE REGION OF THE 250MB
JET. GIVEN THE CONTINUALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT...EXPECTING
STORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS BORDER
THROUGH MIDNIGHT AND THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE FRONT SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY TO THE EAST THROUGH THE MORNING.
HOWEVER...THIS WILL NOT MARK THE END OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR OUR
REGION. ANOTHER SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL LIFT NORTH OUT OF TEXAS AND ACROSS THE PLAINS...THIS WILL
LIFT A BOUNDARY ACROSS THE OZARKS AND THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
CONCURRENT WITH THE LINGERING COLD FRONT FROM SUNDAY
NIGHT...PROVIDING A SOURCE OF LIFT FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS DURING
THE DAY ON MONDAY.

FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT AND EARLY MORNING...HAVE TRIMMED BACK POPS
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI THROUGH THE
MORNING...WHILE KEEPING LIKELY ALONG THE BORDER AND SOUTHERN
MISSOURI. HAVE ALSO TRIMMED BACK TEMPS TONIGHT AS PRECIP ACROSS
THE REGION HAS DROPPED TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 60S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA.
