AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
256 PM CDT THU MAY 12 2011

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 250 PM CDT THU MAY 12 2011/

AN UPPER LOW WAS POSITIONED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WHILE AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT CURLED INTO EASTERN
KANSAS AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. CONVECTION THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON
HAD BEEN CONFINED TO EASTERN TEXAS WITH A FEW CELLS BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA. IT APPEARS THAT
CONVECTION WILL INITIALLY INITIATE ACROSS OKLAHOMA THEN SPREAD
NORTHEAST AS A MID LEVEL JET STREAKS NORTHEAST FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. THIS INCREASE IN SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND A GRADUAL COOLING
OF THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING
UPPER LOW SHOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THESE FACTORS AND AN INCREASE
IN DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL SUPPORT STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EVENING. WHILE ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT EXPECT A DECREASE IN INTENSITY. THE
COOLING THERMAL PROFILE WILL LEAD TO A POTENTIAL OF LARGE HAIL.
THE RISK OF TORNADOES IS LOW AS SHEAR PROFILES ARE NOT FAVORABLE
BUT SOME LOW LEVEL CAPE DOES EXIST.

THE UPPER LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY BRINGING MUCH
COOLER AND SHOWERY CONDITIONS. WITH THE COLD CORE OVERHEAD
CONVECTION WILL LIKELY INCREASE DURING THE DAY WITH THE POTENTIAL
OF STRONG TO ISOLATED STORMS WITH HAIL. THIS SYSTEM WILL
TRANSLATE OFF TO THE EAST THIS WEEKEND BUT ANOTHER UPPER LOW OR
TROUGH AXIS WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE AREA SUNDAY. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALBEIT LESS COVERAGE SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY ALONG WITH COOL TEMPERATURES.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS A
BLOCKING PATTERN SETS UP AND WE REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY UNDER A
NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP
LATER IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
ATTEMPT TO UNDERCUT THE UPPER RIDGE.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF ISSUANCE...KSGF/KJLN/KBBG...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE 18Z TAF PERIOD REVOLVES AROUND THE
TIMING AND LOCATION OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECTING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS
FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AFTER 2 PM SPREADING NORTH AND EAST ACROSS
THE OZARKS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CURRENTLY A
MVFR STRATUS DECK CONTINUES TO BUILD IN ACROSS NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA...SOUTHEAST KANSAS...AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WELL AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY
LOCATED ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. GIVEN THE SCATTERED
NATURE THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE...LOCATION AND TIMING
CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE REGARDING THE CURRENT TAFS. AFTER
TONIGHT...SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION CAN BE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS A STRONG SURFACE LOW
CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS OVERNIGHT AND ACROSS
MISSOURI ON FRIDAY.
