1215 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
/ISSUED 710 PM CDT MON APR 18 2011/

A WARM FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI EARLY THIS EVENING.
DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN CONFINED TO WELL NORTH OF THE
FRONT IN EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS. EXPECT
CONVECTION TO GRADUALLY INCREASE LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS NORTH OF THE FRONT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS AND
STRENGTHENS. LAPS MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW WARMING ACROSS THE AREA IN
THE 800-600 MB LAYER. WILL FURTHER ANALYZE THE 00Z SOUNDING FOR
THIS TREND. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP AS FAR
SOUTH AS THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION ON THE EDGE OF THE
DEVELOPING CAP...BUT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO OCCUR ANY FARTHER SOUTH.

.DISCUSSION...

A GULF AIRMASS SPREAD ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE
MISSOURI OZARKS TODAY...UNDERNEATH A STRONG BELT OF WESTERLIES.  IN
RESPONSE...SURFACE DEW POINTS INCREASED ABOUT 20 DEGREES FROM EARLY
THIS MORNING...AS READINGS WERE MEASURED IN THE LOWER 60S IN MOST
LOCATIONS.  THIS GULF AIRMASS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES BOTH THIS EVENING/TONIGHT...ALONG WITH TUESDAY.

FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...INSTABILITY WAS INCREASING AS
TEMPERATURES WARMED INTO THE 70S.  MIXED LAYER CAPES WERE ANALYZED
AT AROUND 1500 TO 2000 J/KG.  IF STORMS PERHAPS DEVELOP AND CAN
BECOME ROOTED WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...THE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
COMBINATION WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.

THE TRIGGER FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING WOULD BE INCREASING
MASS CONVERGENCE OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI...AS A DEEP LOW LEVEL JET
EVOLVES.  AN ELEVATED MIXED LAYER...WHICH WAS NICELY SHOWN BY THIS
MORNING'S NORMAN OKLAHOMA SOUNDING...HAD LIKELY SHIFTED OVER
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI TODAY...HELPING TO CAP OFF ANY DEVELOPING
UPDRAFTS.  THIS CAP WILL BE BATTLING LOW LEVEL MASS CONVERGENCE ALL
EVENING...CREATING UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER STORMS DEVELOP OR NOT.
THE STORMS PREDICTION CENTER JUST INTRODUCED A SLIGHT RISK OVER
CENTRAL MISSOURI.

FOR TUESDAY...AN EPISODE OF SEVERE STORMS WILL OCCUR DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS OVER PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS.
IT APPEARS AS THOUGH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY RISKS WITH THESE STORMS.  HOWEVER...A TORNADO OR TWO CAN NOT
BE RULED OUT GIVEN THE LOW LEVEL CAPE / SHEAR COMBINATION.  ONE
FACTOR THAT WILL MITIGATE THE FREQUENCY OF TORNADOES REGARDS THE
POSITIVE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT / PRESSURE FIELDS.  SOUTHWEST
TRAJECTORIES IN THE LOWEST KILOMETER WILL CREATE A UNIDIRECTIONALLY
SHEARED HODOGRAPH.

ALSO...0-3 KM SHEAR VECTOR ORIENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE FRONT
REMAINS NEARLY PARALLEL...SUGGESTING THAT STORMS WILL QUICKLY BECOME
LINEAR.  A SQUALL LINE...OR LINE SEGMENTS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS...AS THE FRONT SHIFTS SOUTH AND EAST TOWARD THE
EASTERN OZARKS.  POINT FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE CAPE VALUES
AROUND 1000 J/KG WITHIN THE HAIL GROWTH LAYER...SUGGESTING THE
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL.  THETA E DIFFERENTIALS AROUND 30 DEGREES K
WOULD YIELD A RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH.

STORMS WILL EXIT THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...SETTING THE STAGE
FOR FANTASTIC COOL SPRING CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 60S...UNDER SUNNY SKIES AND
NORTHWESTERLY BREEZES.

THE GULF AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY RETURN BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY
MORNING.  PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL ALSO RETURN...AS THE WARM FRONT
REMAINS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.  A FEW HAILERS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AT
ANYTIME THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST BY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...TRIGGERING ANOTHER EPISODE OF SEVERE STORMS.  AGAIN THIS
SYSTEM ALSO MAINTAINS A POSITIVE TILT...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST MORE OF
A WIND AND HAIL RISK.  BY FRIDAY NIGHT...WE WILL ALSO NEED TO
MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING AS AREA SOILS COULD BE
NEARING SATURATION.

ADDITIONAL RAIN CHANCES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS
FRIDAYS FRONTAL SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO STALL OUT JUST SOUTH OF THE
OZARKS...AND LIKELY RETURN AT SOME POINT BY SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1215 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2011/

FOR THE 06Z TAF PACKAGE...SEVERAL FORECAST CONCERNS WITH THIS TAF
ISSUANCE. FIRST...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS A LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES OVER THE
REGION. THIS WILL TRANSITION TO GUSTY WINDS AN HOUR OR TWO AFTER
SUNRISE...PERSISTING MUCH OF THE DAY. SECOND...GUIDANCE CONTINUES
TO INDICATE AN INCREASING RISK FOR AN MVFR DECK DEVELOPING OVER
THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...PERSISTING INTO MUCH OF
TUESDAY. HAVE HELD OFF ON LOWERING CIGS TOO QUICKLY GIVEN A LARGE
SWATH OF CIRRUS MOVING OVER THE REGION AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...THE
AFOREMENTIONED STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET WILL PUMP MORE MOISTURE
INTO THE LOW LEVELS WITH TIME. MID LEVEL DECKS SHOULD LOWER...BUT
SLOWLY AND HAVE HELD MVFR OFF UNTIL MID/LATE MORNING NEAR THE BASE
OF A STRONG CAP. FINALLY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING A RISK OF STRONG
STORMS TO MAINLY THE SGF/BBG SITES AND HAVE CONTINUED THE TRENDS
FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. WILL NEED TO WATCH IF SHRA/TSRA CAN
FIRE AS FAR WEST AS JLN.
