AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
714 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

SEVERAL FORECAST CHALLENGES THIS MORNING...INCLUDING SHORT TERM
RAIN/THUNDER POTENTIAL...FROPA ON MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY...AND SOME OF
THE WARMEST TEMPS OF THE SEASON THUS FAR FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK.

OUT OF THE GATE THIS MORNING...MCS ACTIVITY ONGOING AS EXPECTED OVER
STL AREA TO POINTS EAST.  MAY SEE SOME BACKBUILDING INTO THE CWA
THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS TODAY AS THE LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES
TO VEER...BUT CHANCES FOR RAIN APPEAR TO BE DWINDLING...ESPECIALLY
OVER SW MISSOURI AND EASTERN KS.

WARM FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN CWA
HAS BEEN SLOWED AND REINFORCED BY MCS OUTFLOW OVER THE LAST 24
HOURS OR SO...BUT EXPECT THIS BOUNDARY TO AGAIN MAKE SOME PROGRESS
MIXING NORTH INTO NORTHERN MO TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY THIS EVENING.
SUSPECT WE'LL SEE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION OVER
NEBRASKA...IOWA...FAR NORTHERN MISSOURI BY LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH DEVELOPMENT (YET AGAIN) INTO AN MCS OVER
THE MISSISSIPPI AND NORTHERN MISSOURI RIVER VALLEYS.  HAVE A
SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT ALMOST...IF NOT ENTIRETY...OF THE CWA IS
GOING TO STAY DRY...AS A STRONG CAP BUILDS IN BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT.  ONLY POTENTIAL AREA TO BE CLIPPED BY AN MCS WILL BE THE FAR
EASTERN/NORTHEASTERN OZARKS TONIGHT.  ANY STORM THAT IS ABLE TO GET
INTO THE CWA WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE...WITH
HAIL AND WIND PRIMARY THREATS.  AGAIN...HOWEVER...CHANCES OF PRECIP
ALONE SIMPLY AREN'T GOOD.

REGION SHOULD BE SOLIDLY CAPPED SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY
MORNING...BEFORE A COLD FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH THE REGION BY
MIDDAY MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.  POPS ALONG/AHEAD OF THE
FRONT REMAIN RATHER UNCLEAR...AS FRONT WILL BE RATHER STRONG...BUT
LACKING UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND MOVING INTO A HIGHLY CAPPED
ATMOSPHERE.  DON'T THINK A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE OUT OF
THE QUESTION ON MONDAY EVENING IF THE CAP IS ABLE TO BREAK.

WILL NEED TO WATCH HEAT HEADLINE POTENTIAL ON MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IF
CLOUD COVER IS SOMEWHAT SPARSE OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  MID 90S
TEMPS WILL CERTAINLY BE THERE...AND MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL BE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY...PERHAPS RESULTING IN MID TO
EVEN UPPER 70S DEWPOINTS.  COMBINATION OF THE TWO WILL YIELD HEAT
INDICES PUSHING THE 105 MARK IN MANY LOCATIONS.

DOES LOOK LIKE THE FRONT WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE DOWN TO THE
ARKANSAS/MISSOURI STATE LINE...RESULTING IN A SHORT REPRIEVE FROM
THE HEAT I-44 NORTH ON TUESDAY...AND JUST A CHANCE FOR A FEW
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR SOUTHERN MO/NORTHERN ARKANSAS DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES BACK NORTH WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS A WARM
FRONT...WITH A DECIDEDLY IMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SETTING UP OVER
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CONUS FOR THE END OF THE WORKWEEK.  WITH
850 TEMPS PROGGED TO BE PUSHING 30C BY THE END OF THE WEEK...UPPER
90S TO NEAR 100 WILL BE POSSIBLE.

GUSTS TODAY. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.
