AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
442 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011

.UPDATE...
/ISSUED 434 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011/

SHORTWAVE OVER EASTERN OK COOLED MID LEVELS ENOUGH TO ALLOW STORMS
TO BLOSSOM IN AN AREA OF MUCAPE OF 1000-1500 J/KG BASED AT NEAR 800MB.
SOME MID LEVEL STORM ROTATION IN SOME STORMS HAD AIDED IN HAIL
GROWTH. COVERAGE HAS BEEN MORE THAN EXPECTED. HAVE ADDED SEVERE
STORM WORDING TO THE ZFP AND BEEFED UP HWO INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. LIMITED SFC BASED INSTABILITY...EVEN NEAR THE FRONT ALONG
THE MO/AR BORDER WILL LIKELY LIMIT SFC BASED CONVECTION...SO HAIL
WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 201 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011/

POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS FLASH FLOODING AND AREAL FLOODING ALONG
WITH SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES HIGHLIGHT THE FORECAST CONCERNS OVER
THE NEXT TWO TO THREE DAYS.

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT ALONG ROUGHLY THE MO/AR BORDER IS IN
PLACE. HAVE HAS WIDELY SCATTERED ELEVATED CONVECTION NEAR AND
NORTH OF THE FRONT WITH SMALL HAIL FROM STRONGER UPDRAFTS THIS
MORNING. A SEVERE TSTM RISK WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHERN CWFA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING AND THEN AGAIN OVERNIGHT AS
A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET ENHANCES LIFT NORTH OF THE SFC FRONT.
MUCAPES OF 1000 J/KG BASED AT 800MB (21Z GFS KSGF SOUNDING) WILL
SUPPORT THE SHORT TERM STORM THREAT WITH THE MAIN OVERALL STORM
THREAT BEING HAIL...BUT A LOW END RISK FOR NEAR SFC BASED STORMS IS
POSSIBLE OVER FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MO THROUGH EARLY EVENING. AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT WITH THE STRENGTHENING LOW
LEVEL JET.

FOR SUNDAY...CONTINUED CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL LINGER INTO
SUNDAY. ELEVATED CONVECTION TO START THE DAY MAY GRADUALLY
TRANSITION TO A MORE SFC BASED STORM THREAT IN THE AFTERNOON AS
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTH INTO SOUTHERN MO. ANY
SEVERE THREAT WILL BE CONTINGENT ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITY CAN
DEVELOP...WITH THE OVERALL BEST CHANCES OVER SOUTHERN MO LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY MON MORNING WILL ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL
FLOW AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. A STRONGER 50-55KT LOW LEVEL JET AND STRONG LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL PRODUCED AN ENHANCED RISK FOR FLOODING.
WITH PWATS ON THE ORDER OF 1.5-1.6 INCHES BY SUNDAY EVENING.
STRAIGHT GFS OUTPUT HAS ON THE ORDER OF 3-5 INCHES OF QPF FROM
25/00Z-25/12Z. ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR.
THE ECMWF AND HPC MAY BE A MORE REASONABLE IN TERMS OF QPF...WITH
LESSER 2-3 INCH AMOUNTS. GIVEN THE SOIL CONDITIONS...THIS WILL
LEAD TO FLOODING...AND IN AREAS ALREADY FLOODED...WORSENING
FLOODING. THIS WILL LEAD TO LONGER STEM RIVER FLOODING INTO MON-TUE.

THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE WILL AND STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW WILL
POSE A MORE GENERAL SEVERE STORM RISK MON-MON EVENING. AGAIN...THIS WILL
BE TIED TO THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN REALIZED WHICH IS
NOT CUT AND DRIED GIVEN HOW MUCH MOISTURE AND CLOUDS THAT MAY BE
IN PLACE. ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED LATE MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...AND THEN AGAIN POTENTIALLY WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER
DIGGING SHORTWAVE WED. DRIER WEATHER IS THEN FINALLY EXPECTED AT
THE END OF THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 136 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011/

FOR THE 23/1800Z KSGF/KSGF/KJLN TAFS...SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA WILL
CONTINUE IN THE NEAR TERM ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ROUGHLY ALONG
THE MO/AR BORDER. KBBG WILL BE MOST AFFECTED BY THAT
ACTIVITY WITH LOWER MVFR/IFR CEILINGS EARLY...BUT IN GENERAL

DEVELOPS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. IN GENERAL
LOWERED CONDITIONS INTO THE MVFR CAT...BUT COULD SEE PERIODS OF
IFR IN HEAVIER RAIN AREAS.
