STARTING TO SEE A BAND OF CONVECTION DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL MO IN
RESPONSE TO A PASSING SHORTWAVE IN THE MID LEVEL NW FLOW...COUPLED
WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE EVIDENT IN 850MB PROFILER AND WSR 88D
NETWORKS. MU CAPES LIFTED FROM AROUND 925MB PRODUCE INSTABILITY ON
THE ORDER OF 3000 J/KG SUPPORTING LARGE HAIL AND A LOCALIZED
SEVERE TSTM WIND THREAT WITH STRONGER UPDRAFT CORES. LIKE
YESTERDAY...A VEERING WIND PROFILE WITH HEIGHT WILL SUPPORT
MID LEVEL STORM ROTATION WITH SOME STORMS.

THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SOUTH INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MO TODAY. PROGGED SOUNDINGS DURING THE MIDDAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOW PLENTY OF AVAILABLE INSTABILITY WITH PROGGED ML CAPE VALUES
ON THE ORDER OF 3000-3500 J/KG WITH A SEVERE HAIL/DAMAGING TSTM
WIND HAZARD POSSIBLE. BEST CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL
BE NEAR LOCALIZED CONVERGENCE BOUNDARIES OR THE DIFFUSE FRONT
ITSELF.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 144 AM CDT TUE JUL 23 2013

SOME ONGOING WEAKENING CONVECTION MAY BE ONGOING EARLY WED
MORNING...BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT FAR
ENOUGH SOUTH TO GRADUALLY PUSH THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION SOUTH OF
THE REGION BY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. ECMWF/GFS/GEM ALL MOVE AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE NOW OFF THE SOUTHERN CA COAST OVER A FLAT
UPPER RIDGE THROUGH THE ROCKIES...THEN SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND OZARKS FRI. THE GFS IS FASTER WITH THIS FEATURE VERSUS
THE GEM AND ECMWF. A MODEL BLEND YIELDS FAIRLY HIGH RAIN CHANCES
FRI AND FRI NIGHT.

DEEPER NORTHWEST FLOW WITH A LARGE UPPER LOW NORTH OF THE GREAT
LAKES SHOULD PUSH A DRIER/COOLER AIR MASS INTO THE AREA OVER THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND.
