.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 352 AM CST MON JAN 23 2012/
PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS WAY EWD THROUGH THE
CNTRL AND ERN HALF OF THE AREA THIS EARLY MORNING...WITH LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WELL EVIDENT IN SOME OF THE
STRONGER STORMS. THE MAJORITY OF THE STORM REPORTS RECEIVED THUS FAR
HAVE BEEN PREDOM LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME SPORADIC REPORTS OF STRONG WIND GUSTS AND MARGINAL SIZE HAIL.
TORNADO WATCH 7 CURRENTLY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE CNTRL
AND ERN HALF OF THE AREA...ALTHOUGH COUNTIES ALONG AND W OF THE
ADVANCING SQUALL LINE WILL LIKELY BE CANCELLED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
HRS AS THE SVR WX THREAT CONTINUES TO PUSH EWD. SOME LINGERING
CONVECTION IS OCCURRING BEHIND THE SQUALL LINE...ALTHOUGH MOST OF
THIS ACTIVITY LOOKS TO BE MORE SHOWERS IN NATURE. THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONT ITSELF REMAINS LOCATED WELL TO THE W OF THE CNTRL TN VALLEY
FROM THE MIDWEST REGION SWD INTO THE EXTREME NW GULF. MOST OF THE
PRECIP SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRANSLATE EWD WELL INTO THE LATE MORNING
PERIOD...WITH SOME SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO THE AREA FROM
THE W. CLOUD COVER THOUGH WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO BREAK WITH THE
FRONT LAGGING WELL TO THE W. THE LATEST MODEL SUITES HAVE THE FRONT
SWEEPING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
PERIOD...WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR CONTINUING TO WORK INTO
THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
AFTER TODAY...THE OVERALL PATTERN LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET FOR AT LEAST A
DAY OR SO AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OUT OF THE SRN PLAINS MOVES EWD
ACROSS THE SE REGION. ANY GLIMPSE OF SEASONAL LIKE CONDITIONS
THOUGH LOOK TO BE SHORT LIVED AS ANOTHER AREA OF CYCLOGENESIS
DEVELOPS OVER EXTREME SE TX. THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN ALSO LOOKS TO
BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED ACROSS THE CNTRL/SRN PLAINS STATES HEADING
TOWARD MID WEEK...AS AN UPPER LOW/TROUGH BECOMES BETTER ORGANIZED.
THERE REMAINS SOME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE LATEST MODELS WITH THE
PROGRESSION OF THIS WAVE PATTERN BY WED. IN ANY CASE...THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS SHOWS THIS ENERGY/SFC LOW LIFTING TOWARD THE NE WED AND THU
WITH PRECIP OVERSPREADING THE AREA FROM SW TO NE. GIVEN THE LACK OF
ANY SFC BASED INSTABILITY INITIALLY WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM...MOST OF
THE PRECIP LOOKS TO BE PREDOM SHOWERS AT LEAST THROUGH WED. SOME
ELEVATED INSTABILITY MAY THEN BE ABLE TO LIFT NWD ALONG A DEVELOPING
WARM FRONT ON THU...WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FEW EMBEDDED TSTMS WITHIN
NUMEROUS SHOWER ACTIVITY. THIS SYSTEM THEN LOOKS TO EXIT THE AREA TO
THE ENE FRI WITH PRECIP TAPERING OFF.
A STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM THEN LOOKS TO BUILD SEWD ACROSS THE
MID PLAINS BY THE START OF THE WEEKEND PERIOD. AS THIS NEXT AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE REGION...OVERALL TEMPS AND CONDITIONS
LOOK TO TREND MORE SEASONAL HEADING INTO THE NEW WEEK WITH THE WX
PATTERN LOOKING FAIRLY NICE AND QUIET.
