.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 712 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

THE TORNADO WATCH THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM FOR AREAS NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 44 HAS BEEN EXTENDED SOUTH TO THE ARKANSAS BORDER
AND ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 65. SEVERAL STRONG SUPERCELLS HAVE
FORMED OVER NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...AND ARE TRACKING TOWARD THE
NEWLY WATCHED AREA. IN PARTICULAR...ONE PARTICULARLY WELL
ORGANIZED SUPERCELL IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ALONG THE OKLAHOMA
KANSAS BORDER INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI. ADDITIONAL STORMS
MAY FOLLOW IT INTO THE AREA. ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS REMAIN
FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT. MLCAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF
3000 J/KG...LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO
VALUES NEAR 200...AND SUFFICIENTLY LOW LCL HEIGHTS ALL FAVOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WITH THESES SUPERCELLS. THE 00Z SOUNDING
FROM SPRINGFIELD SHOWS A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH NO CAPPING
AND VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES IN THE MID LEVELS. LARGE HAIL AND A
FEW STRONG TORNADOES ARE SUPPORTED BY THIS SOUNDING.

ENE ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. FCST GUIDANCE HAS TARGETED THE MO

RAIN...BUT CONFIDENCE ON THE PRECISE LOCATION OF THE EXCESSIVE/HEAVY

EXITS...BUT WILL TACKLE THAT LATER ON.
