AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
605 PM CDT TUE SEP 25 2012

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...
/ISSUED 550 PM CDT TUE SEP 25 2012/

CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING FROM SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI ALONG AND SOUTH OF A STALLED FRONT. MODERATE
INSTABILITY WAS IN PLACE WITH MLCAPE NEAR 2500 J/KG BUT DEEP LAYER
SHEAR REMAINED RATHER WEAK. HOWEVER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WERE
QUITE STEEP.

EXPECT THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING FROM
SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. ACTIVITY WILL BE ENHANCED
WITH TIME WITH THE APPROACH OF A MINOR SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS
KANSAS. IN ADDITION...THE LOW LEVEL WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTERACT WITH A VERY MOIST
AIR MASS.

THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL IMPACT SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
AND CENTRAL MISSOURI...OR GENERALLY NORTH OF A JOPLIN TO SALEM
LINE WHERE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 11 PM.

WHILE THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE. THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE RISK FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL
BE A CONCERN TONIGHT WHERE STORMS TRAIN.

THE GREATEST RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING WILL OCCUR GENERALLY NORTH OF A PITTSBURG KANSAS TO
CAMDENTON MISSOURI. WILL BE MONITORING RADAR TRENDS CLOSELY FOR A
POSSIBLE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

.DISCUSSION...

THE COMBINATION OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH THE
RISK FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS...WILL CREATE AN ACTIVE 24 HOURS FOR
AREAS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI.

THE CONTINUOUS INTERACTION OF A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS INTO A
STATIONARY FRONTAL SYSTEM POSITIONED ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS AND
CENTRAL MISSOURI...IS THE PRIMARY METEOROLOGICAL REASON FOR OUR
IMPENDING WEATHER.

CURRENTLY (1830Z)...THE FRONTAL SYSTEM IS POSITIONED ALONG A LINE
FROM WICHITA KANSAS TO HARRISONVILLE.  THIS FEATURE WILL VERY SLOWLY
SHIFT TO THE SOUTH OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...AND IS EXPECTED TO
ASSUME A POSITION SOMEWHERE JUST NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 54 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

WE ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED THAT TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR SOMEWHERE NEAR THIS CORRIDOR THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...CREATING A RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING...ROUGHLY NEAR
GIRARD-FORT SCOTT...TO LAKE OF THE OZARKS-VERSAILLES AREA.

0-3 KM SHEAR VECTORS WILL ORIENT PARALLEL TO THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM
TONIGHT...MEANWHILE...PERSISTENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS SUGGEST
THAT PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 1.40 INCHES.

THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS ALSO INCREASING FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  THE SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI
AIR MASS HAS DESTABILIZED...WITH APPROXIMATELY 2000-2500 J/KG OF MIXED
LAYER CAPE BEING ANALYZED.

FORCING FROM AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL TRIGGER ROBUST
UPDRAFTS BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON.  THESE SEVERE STORMS SHOULD MAINLY BE
CONFINED TO AREAS NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR.  CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT STORMS WILL DECREASE IN INTENSITY...AND BECOME
NON-SEVERE BY LATE THIS EVENING...DUE TO A DECREASE IN INSTABILITY
LEVELS.

GENERAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE THEN EXPECTED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO WEDNESDAY.

WITH THE FRONT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE OZARKS REGION FROM
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THERE REMAINS NO SIGNAL THAT INSTABILITY
LEVELS WILL BECOME SUFFICIENT FOR ADDITIONAL SEVERE STORMS THE REST
OF THE WEEK.  ITS A SHORT TERM FORECAST CHALLENGE...AND SOMETHING
THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED THROUGH FRIDAY.  BUT FOR NOW...I HAVE
NO PLANS TO INSERT ANY OTHER MENTION OF SEVERE STORMS BEYOND THIS
EVENING.  WILL KEEP HIGH POPS GOING INTO THE GRIDS THROUGH FRIDAY
THOUGH.

THIS WEEKEND'S FORECAST IS BECOMING MORE CLEAR AS MODELS CONVERGE ON
A DRIER SOLUTION.  THEREFORE...WE WILL KEEP POPS IN CHECK BEGINNING
SATURDAY MORNING.  LIGHT NORTHERLY BREEZES WILL OFFER NICE
TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IN THE LOW 70S.

&&

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 555 PM CDT TUE SEP 25 2012/

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AS A FRONT REMAINS
STALLED NORTH OF AREA TERMINALS AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST MUCH OF THE
EVENING BUT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT JOPLIN
TERMINAL BY LATE EVENING...AND SPRINGFIELD AND BRANSON OVERNIGHT.
MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR IN THE SHOWERS AND
STORMS. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO DEVELOP AS THE LOW LEVEL
JET STRENGTHENS. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND
VARIABLE FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
