AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1130 AM CDT SUN MAY 6 2012

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

IT LOOKS TO BE A MESSY NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS ACROSS THE CWA AS
WEAKLY ORGANIZED CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  ONCE THIS
APPROACHING SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH HOWEVER...A COMFORTABLE STRETCH OF
SPRING WEATHER APPEARS TO BE ON TAP FOR THE REGION.

STARTING OUT EARLY THIS MORNING...RATHER COMPLEX BUT GENERALLY WEAK
SOUTHWEST FLOW IS IN PLACE ALOFT OVER THE AREA.  AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE OVER THE HIGH
PLAINS...WITH EXPANSIVE SURFACE TROUGHING EXTENDING INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS ALONG A SHARPENING SURFACE FRONT.  A LARGE LINEAR
MCS HAD DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT FROM NEBRASKA THROUGH MUCH OF SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA.

OUTFLOW HAS SURGED WELL AHEAD OF THIS CONVECTION AS OF 07Z THIS
MORNING...AND THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE THE INITIAL FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION OVER THE SGF CWA BY MIDDAY.  SUSPECT THAT THIS BOUNDARY
WILL BEGIN TO IMPINGE ON THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE CWA
BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z TODAY...ABOUT THE TIME THAT A VERY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS WILL BE EFFECTIVELY UNCAPPED.  ONCE SURFACE INHIBITION
ERODES...LIFT ALONG THE OUTFLOW WILL HAVE A VERY WARM AND MOIST LOW
LEVEL AIRMASS AVAILABLE TO TAP INTO...WITH RATHER STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES ALOFT.  AS A RESULT...4000+ J/KG OF SFC CAPE WILL BE COMMON
OVER THE REGION...WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGESTING NEARLY 1000
J/KG AVAILABLE THROUGH THE HAIL GROWTH LAYER.  WHILE INSTABILITY
WILL BE HIGH TO EXTREME IN NATURE...OVERALL WEAK BULK SHEAR VALUES
(AROUND 20 KTS THROUGH 0-6 KM LAYER) WILL MAKE CONVECTIVE
ORGANIZATION DIFFICULT TO COME BY.  WITH THAT IN MIND...DO BELIEVE
THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT WILL BE FROM LARGE (PERHAPS VERY LARGE IN
A FEW INSTANCES) HAIL AS STORMS INITIALLY DEVELOP...AS WELL AS LOCALIZED
DOWNBURSTS DUE TO PRECIP LOADING PROCESSES.  THE TORNADO THREAT
APPEARS QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME...THOUGH ANY STORM MERGERS AND/OR
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS THAT MAY ACT TO LOCALLY INCREASE HELICITY
VALUES WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED VERY VERY CAREFULLY...DUE TO THE VERY
HIGH INSTABILITY ALREADY IN PLACE.

ALONG WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...WILL ALSO NEED TO BE MINDFUL
OF HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.  OVERALL STORM MOTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
RATHER SLOW...AS WELL AS BOUNDARY-PARALLEL.  WHEN COMBINED WITH PWAT
VALUES APPROACHING 2 INCHES...THIS SUGGESTS THAT HEAVY RAIN/FLASH
FLOODING COULD BE POSSIBLE IN AT LEAST A LOCALIZED FASHION.  MOST
FAVORED AREA FOR THIS WILL BE WEST OF U.S. 65 AND NORTH OF
I-44...WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL LAST WEEK.  FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA...HOPEFULLY THIS WILL SIMPLY SERVE AS A MUCH NEEDED DOSE OF
RAINFALL.

MUCH OF TODAY'S INITIAL CONVECTION WILL BE WELL AHEAD OF THE
SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT...WHICH LOOKS TO SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE
CWA THROUGH MID MORNING MONDAY.  RIGHT NOW...IT IS SOMEWHAT UNCLEAR
AS HOW CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO
MONDAY MORNING.  SUSPECT THAT EITHER NEW OUTFLOW WILL SERVE AS THE
FOCUS...OR ELSE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE REALIZED ALONG THE
ACTUAL FRONT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  HAVE MAINTAINED HIGH POPS
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING TO ACCOUNT...THOUGH DO THINK THAT THE OVERALL
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD DECREASE A BIT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS TONIGHT.

AS ALLUDED TO ABOVE...SYNOPTIC FRONT SHOULD FINALLY CLEAR THE CWA BY
MIDDAY MONDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN TAKING CONTROL FOR MOST OF
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.  THIS LOOKS TO RESULT IN SOME OF THE MOST
COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS WE'VE SEEN IN QUITE A WHILE ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH NEAR NORMAL HIGHS IN THE LOW 70S AND LOW TEMPS IN THE
LOW 50S.

.AVIATION...

PILOTS FLYING IN AND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AIRPORTS WILL
NEED TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS THIS AFTERNOON...THIS EVENING...AND
THROUGH TONIGHT.

A COLD FRONT IS APPROACHING THE REGION...WHICH WILL TRIGGER
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTS AN AIRFIELD...COULD CAUSE SOME VERY GUSTY
WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.  THE
ENVIRONMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE IDEAL FOR DOWNBURST
WIND GUSTS.

RAIN WILL EXIT THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...GIVING WAY TO
FAIR WEATHER FOR SEVERAL DAYS STARTING TOMORROW MORNING.

AS THE FRONT SHIFTS THROUGH SOUTHERN MISSOURI TONIGHT...SURFACE
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.
