AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
309 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 225 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011/

MAIN CONCERNS ARE TSTM EVOLUTION AND TEMPERATURES IN THE NEAR
TERM.

ONCE AGAIN...TEMPERATURES WERE HOT ACROSS THE REGION WITH DRY AIR
OVER THE WEST AND HIGHER DEW POINTS OVER THE EAST. MODERATELY
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS HAVE REALLY ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO RISE TO
RECORD LEVELS AT KSGF AND KSGF ONCE AGAIN. ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
HAVE BECOME SOMEWHAT HARD TO DISCERN OVER THE MO OZARKS ATTM...BUT
STARTING TO SEE SOME CUMULUS POP UP OVER THE WESTERN OZARK
HIGHLANDS. A STRONGER MORE EVIDENT BOUNDARY IS OVER NORTHERN AR
WHERE SOME ISOLD CONVECTION IS ALREADY FIRING. AS WITH PAST
DAYS...A DRY AND DEEPLY MIXED SUB-CLOUD LAYER WILL LEAD TO TSTM
WIND DMG POTENTIAL. MID LEVEL FLOW/DEEP LAYER SHEAR WHILE NOT
OVERLY STRONG...IS ENOUGH TO KEEP SOME UPDRAFTS A BIT MORE LONG
LIVED SHOULD THY GET GOING.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO CONVECTION OVER NORTHEAST KS/NORTHWEST
MO. A MESOSCALE STORM CLUSTER IS MOVING ESE THROUGH THAT REGION
WITH A OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO CNTRL KS. THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THIS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A
FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT TO WORK WITH OWING TO HIGHER
DEW POINTS...WITH PROGGED MLCAPES ON THE ORDER OF 3000 J/KG OVER
THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN CWFA. SOMEWHAT STRONGER MID LEVEL WINDS
OVER THIS REGION WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A SEVERE/ORGANIZED STORM
RISK INTO AT LEAST THE NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING EITHER WITH THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE EXISTING CONVECTION OR ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY. DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN STORM RISKS.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE NOW OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS IS ALSO PROGGED
TO SHIFT EAST THEN ESE WITH TIME TONIGHT INTO MON MORNING. HARD TO
KNOW HOW THIS WILL EVOLVE. IN THEORY...A DECENT LOW LEVEL 25-30KT
850MB VEERING JET ALONG WITH A WNW MID LEVEL FLOW SHOULD SUPPORT A
SOUTHEAST MOVING COMPLEX OF STORMS SHOULD IT DEVELOP. FOR
NOW...TIMING WISE WILL HAVE HIGHER POPS FOR LATE TONIGHT OVER THE
NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWFA. CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE MOVE INTO
THE CWFA MONDAY MORNING. POTENTIALLY STRONG HEATING OVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWFA WILL SUPPORT POSSIBLE STORM RE-
INTENSIFICATION/REDEVELOPMENT. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THIS EVOLVES.
FOR NOW HAVE FAIRLY HIGH POPS FOR THE CWFA...ESPECIALLY THE
NORTHEAST PORTION.

WILL LIKELY HAVE TO EXTEND SOME HEAT HEADLINES FOR THE SOUTHWEST
CWFA FOR MONDAY...BUT THAT MAY BE IT. A COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT
SOUTH INTO THE REGION MONDAY WITH COOLER AIR CONTINUING TO FILTER
INTO THE REGION INTO TUE. NOCTURNAL CONVECTION NORTH OF THE SFC
WARM FRONT/ELEVATED BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL BE POSSIBLE MON
NIGHT/EARLY TUE...THEN POSSIBLY AGAIN LATE WED/WED NIGHT. AN
ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PERIOD WITH COOLER WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO
LATE IN THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 104 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011/

FOR THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE...PRIMARY CONCERN IS SEVERAL PROSPECTS FOR
STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MIDDAY SKY IS CLEAR
ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA...HOWEVER THIS WILL CHANGE. A LINGERING
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL HELP FOCUS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT...MAINLY NORTH OF THE JLN/SGF/BBG AERODROMES THIS
AFTERNOON. ANOTHER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS
NORTHEAST KANSAS WILL MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST WITH TIME...THOUGH
DEVELOP MORE BOUNDARIES FOR STORMS TO FORM ON. YET MORE BOUNDARIES
ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN KANSAS WILL SPARK STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...AND IT IS THIS ACTIVITY THAT HAS THE
BEST OPPORTUNITY TO AFFECT THE JLN/SGF/BBG AERODROMES TONIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY. OVERALL...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE DAY.
AS STORMS MOVE IN LOW END MVFR/IFR WILL BE LIKELY UNDER HEAVY
DOWNPOURS OF RAIN.
