AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1220 PM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1127 AM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS CONTINUES TO BE
CHALLENGING...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE RARE NATURE OF THE STORM SYSTEM
THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND
PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS. THE LATEST MODELS AND THE TRENDS
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. IN ADDITION...EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
TOWARDS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY LOOK TO SEE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL.

THE CURRENT MODEL RUNS THIS MORNING HAVE INCREASED THE SNOWFALL
THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION. CURRENT
THOUGHTS ARE TO INCREASE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ALONG AND
WEST OF THE I-49 CORRIDOR TO 1 TO 3 INCHES AND FROM HIGHWAY 65 TO
I-49 BETWEEN 1-2 INCHES. THIS MAY CHANGE AS LATER MODEL RUNS COME
IN AND ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS CONTINUES.

THERE IS ALSO A CONCERN THAT AREAS OF THE MARK TWAIN NATIONAL
FOREST REGION OF THE OZARKS MAY REQUIRE A FLOOD WATCH. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS FOR THAT REGION MAY EXCEED 2 INCHES.

WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE LATEST MODELS AND ADJUST THE FORECAST
AS NEEDED FOR THIS VERY UNUSUAL SPRING WINTER STORM.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

A CHALLENGING AND ANOMALOUS FORECAST FOR EARLY MAY AS A DEEP UPPER
LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS THE REGION THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTED A DEEP UPPER TROUGH TAKING SHAPE
ACROSS THE ROCKIES EARLY TODAY. MEANWHILE A COLD FRONT STRETCHED
FROM WEST TEXAS NORTH ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI THEN INTO THE
GREAT LAKES. PRECIPITATION LINGERED WELL BEHIND THE FRONT ACROSS
THE PLAINS WITHIN AXIS OF LIFT AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING UPPER
TROUGH.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE STEADILY ACROSS THE OZARKS TODAY REACHING
THE EASTERN OZARKS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN FALLING TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURE WILL
WARM QUICKLY TODAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS FAR SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI BEFORE THE COLDER AIR ARRIVES.

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE DURING
THE DAY IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS THE AIR MASS
BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE.

THE BROAD BAND OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL TRANSITION
EASTWARD INTO THE REGION LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON AS THE
UPPER TROUGH COMES OUT OF THE ROCKIES. SOME THUNDER MAY ACCOMPANY
THIS ACTIVITY AS WELL.

THE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG AND FORM A CLOSED LOW JUST TO OUR
WEST TONIGHT. INCREASING SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND FETCH OF
MOISTURE BEING DRAWN INTO THE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT.

THE COOLING THERMAL PROFILE UNDERNEATH THE DEVELOPING COLD POOL
AND CONTINUED LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BRING A MIX OF
RAIN AND SNOW TO EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS...AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI TONIGHT. THE MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL
IMPACT AREAS GENERALLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 49 LATER THIS EVENING
THEN SPREAD EAST TO THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR BY MORNING. FOR THE
MOST PART NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING AND GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE WARM.
HOWEVER PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS INTO WEST CENTRAL
MISSOURI GENERALLY WEST OF A JOPLIN TO OSCEOLA LINE COULD POSSIBLY
SEE VERY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS (LESS THAN AN INCH) ON GRASSY
SURFACES WHERE THERMAL PROFILES WILL BE MOST FAVORABLE FOR ALL
SNOW.

TEMPERATURES BY DAY BREAK FRIDAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE IN THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 30S WITH UPPER 30S IN THE EASTERN OZARKS.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

THE UPPER LOW WILL MIGRATE SLOWLY EAST INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI ON FRIDAY. A BROAD BAND OF STEADY RAIN WILL TRANSITION
EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY WITH A DIMINISHING TREND IN
THE AFTERNOON AS A DRY SLOT WRAPS INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. RAIN
WILL BE MIXED WITH SNOW GENERALLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 65 FRIDAY
MORNING.

WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
RESULTING FLOODING FRIDAY AS STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO
2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
EASTERN OZARKS WHERE DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND MOISTURE
TRANSPORT WILL BE MAXIMIZED.

UNSEASONABLY COLD AND SHOWERY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY TRACKS ACROSS THE OZARKS.
A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL AGAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE
OZARK PLATEAU. NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

IMPROVING WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE
UPPER LOW EXITS TO THE EAST. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER TO
NEAR NORMAL LEVELS UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY PERSIST AS
MINOR DISTURBANCES TRAVERSE THE REGION. FORECAST DETAILS IN THE
EXTENDED REMAIN UNCERTAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1218 PM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

IFR CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
RAINFALL WILL BEGIN ACROSS THE AREA BY LATE EVENING...CHANGING
OVER TO SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. FALLING SNOW WILL CAUSE IFR
REDUCTIONS TO VISIBILITY. SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW WILL BE
POSSIBLE. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO END IN THE MORNING...WITH IFR
CEILINGS PERSISTING THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

THE COLD AIR THAT IS EXPECTED TO FILTER INTO THE REGION FOR THE
END OF THIS WEEK WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME RECORD LOWS OR
RECORD LOW DAILY HIGHS.
