AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
838 PM CDT MON MAY 28 2012

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

A WEAK COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE SOUTH TOWARDS THE AREA THIS
EVENING. AS OF 8 PM CDT...THE FRONT EXTENDED FROM HANNIBAL
MISSOURI TO CHANUTE KANSAS ON TO THE SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL
TEXAS. THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF A
CAP...THOUGH SHEAR REMAINS MORE ON THE WEAKER SIDE. THE MID LEVELS
REMAIN QUITE DRY...WHICH IS HELPING TO LIMIT THE COVERAGE IN
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT SO FAR THIS EVENING. STILL SOME ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP FROM CENTRAL
MISSOURI INTO SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ALONG THE FRONT AS IT SLIDES
THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE
COULD STILL BE A FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS WITH HAIL
TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE HOURS. AFTER THAT INSATIABILITY SHOULD START TO
WEAKEN. OVERALL WITH THE DRY AIR IN PLACE THE SEVERE RISK AND
COVERAGE OF STORMS SHOULD BE MORE LIMITED THROUGH THE REST OF THE
NIGHT.

WISE

&&

.DISCUSSION...

THE NEXT 72 HOURS WILL BRING THREE SEPARATE PRECIPITATION EVENTS
TO THE THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.

A WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM WISCONSIN THROUGH IOWA
AND INTO EAST CENTRAL KANSAS WILL SLOWLY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. WHILE
THERE IS PLENTY OF CAPE AVAILABLE...ON THE ORDER OF 3000 (J/KG
COMPUTED) LATE THIS AFTERNOON...MODELS GENERALLY HOLD OFF ON MAX
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT UNTIL AFTER SUNSET AS THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SLOWS DOWN OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI. BULK WIND SHEAR (0 TO
6 KM) INCREASES FROM APPROXIMATELY 25 KTS TO 35 KTS OVER NIGHT SO
THIS MAY ASSIST WITH SOME STORM ORGANIZATION AFTER SUNSET.

THIS SURFACE FRONTAL SYSTEM HAS RELATIVELY WEAK FORCING AS IT
BECOMES NEARLY ALIGNED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW LATE TODAY SO
NOCTURNAL PRECIPITATION MAXIMUM EVIDENT IN THE NAM/SREF AND GFS IS
GENERALLY SUPPORTED BY A WEAK SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST...SLIGHTLY SOUTHERLY FLOW IMPINGING ON THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
AND SOMEWHAT INCREASED WIND SHEAR. GIVEN THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN...A
FEW STRONGER STORMS TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF STRONG DYNAMIC
FORCING WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY WIDESPREAD SEVERE OUTBREAK AT THIS
TIME.

MODELS PUSH THIS WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD INTO OKLAHOMA
ARKANSAS BY EARLY TUESDAY...BRINGING A GENERALLY SUNNY AND PLEASANT
DAY TO THE AREA...ALBEIT BRIEFLY.

FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WEDNESDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER OKLAHOMA WILL
SERVE AS A FOCAL POINT FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER THE CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA/KANSAS BORDER AREA. NAM/SREF/GFS ALL HINT AT A LATE
AFTERNOON MCS FORMING IN THE AREA FROM PARENT CONVECTION AND
TRACKING EASTWARD TOWARD SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND DISSIPATING
DURING THE EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING HOURS. AT THE SAME TIME...A
SECOND WEAK SHORT WAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL PROVIDE THE
PRIMARY SUPPORT FOR THIS POTENTIAL EAST TO SOUTHEASTWARD MOVING
MCS.

AFTER SOMEWHAT OF A BREAK...THE THIRD ROUND OF PRECIPITATION WILL
IMPACT THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THIS PARTICULAR
EVENT...UNLIKE THE FIRST TWO...WILL HAVE MODERATE TO STRONG UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AS A RATHER
DYNAMIC...PROGRESSIVE AND SHARPENING SHORT WAVE TROF EMBEDDED IN
THE NOW STRONGER NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW INTERACTS WITH PRE-
EXISTING BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA AND MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE
REGION. MODELS DEPICT A SURFACE LOW FORMING OVER NORTH CENTRAL
TEXAS WITH AN INVERTED TROF EXTENDING NORTHWARD TOWARD
SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA NEBRASKA AROUND MIDNIGHT. THIS FEATURE
PROGRESSES EASTWARD INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...APPROACHING THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATER ON THURSDAY. WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL
SOUTHERLY FLOW SETTING UP AHEAD OF THIS SHORT WAVE...WE WILL
LIKELY SEE OUR BEST CHANCE OF SIGNIFICANT STABLE AND WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION...ON THE ORDER OF AN INCH OR SO...FOR THE AREA.
SEASONABLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE AND COOLER SURFACE AIR TO THE
NORTH OF THIS FEATURE WILL HELP GENERATE AN OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION SCENARIO...MORE LIKE EARLY SPRING. HOWEVER...DUE
TO THE RELATIVELY STRONG DYNAMIC FORCING...RAPID PROGRESSION AND
SUBSEQUENT HEIGHT FALLS WITH THIS SYSTEM...WILL NOT RULE OUT ANY
EMBEDDED CONVECTION. WILL MONITOR THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SEASONABLY
STRONG EVENT VERY CLOSELY AS WE ARE STILL SEEING SIGNIFICANT
VARIANCE BETWEEN MODEL RUNS.

EXPECT GRADUAL CLEARING ON THURSDAY WITH PRECIPITATION TAPERING
OFF OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

FOR FRIDAY THOUGHT MONDAY...

GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER SOMEWHAT FOR FRIDAYS SOLUTION IN BASIC
HANDLING OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVE TROF. GFS FORMS AND
DEEPENS A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL VORTEX OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA...THEN
BRINGS IT SOUTHWARD OVER MISSOURI FOR FRIDAY. THE ECMWF KEEPS A MORE
OPEN SOLUTION WITH A CUTOFF WELL TO THE NORTH AND A SECOND
TROF/VORT MAX PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY. THUS...LEFT SOME
CLOUDINESS AND A CHANCE OF LIGHTER PRECIP IN THE FORECAST FOR
EARLY IN THE DAY FRIDAY. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OUTLOOK...EXPECT
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS STATES FRIDAY TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD
TO THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATED BY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. OUTSIDE
OF A SLIGHT RISK OF AN AFTERNOON SHOWER LATE SATURDAY OR
SUNDAY...THIS PATTERN WILL GIVE US A GENERALLY FAIR AND COOLER
WEATHER PATTERN INTO THE WEEKEND WITH SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES
ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WARMING BACK INTO THE 80S FOR SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z KSGF...KJLN AND KBBG TAFS...A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY
EXTENDING FROM SOUTHEASTERN IOWA TO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WILL
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SAG SOUTH THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE
FRONT. HAVE NOT INCLUDED THUNDERSTORMS OR SHOWERS IN THE TAFS DUE
TO THE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED NATURE OF THIS ACTIVITY...SO
CONFIDENCE IN A TAF SITE BEING AFFECTED WAS TOO LOW TO INCLUDED.
WINDS WILL SWITCH FROM THE SOUTH TO NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT
AND THEN BECOME VARIABLE INTO TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER
THE AREA.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
PLAINS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND PUSH SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE AREA. AT
THIS TIME IF THE AREA IS AFFECTED IT APPEARS IT WOULD BE AFTER 0OZ
ON WEDNESDAY.
