What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 30, 3:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 3:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
356 PM CDT SAT MAR 30 2013

.DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IN THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION. PORTIONS OF THE MESOSCALE
DISCUSSION ISSUED EARLIER WERE INCLUDED BELOW AS IT IS STILL
VALID. WE WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT ONCE
AGAIN LATER TONIGHT. ONCE WE GET BEYOND THE TONIGHT PERIOD...THE
MAIN FORECAST DILEMMA IS A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE
AREA FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY.

MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION (LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING)...

INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE AS DIABATIC HEATING CONTINUES ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS...WITH SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT IN PRODUCING 1000-1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE ACROSS THIS AREA
THROUGH THE 00Z TIME FRAME. AS A COLD FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH THIS
AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON...CONVECTIVE INITIATION WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS...WITH CONVECTION PUSHING EAST-SOUTHEAST
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GIVEN 0-6 KM SHEAR IN THE 30-40 KT
RANGE...AND RELATIVELY WEAK FORCING (AT LEAST
INITIALLY)...SUPERCELLS MAY VERY WELL BE THE INITIAL CONVECTIVE
MODE...THOUGH SOME LESS ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS ARE ALSO NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION. AS COLD POOL CONGLOMERATION TAKES PLACE AND
LINEAR FORCING INCREASES...AN EVENTUAL MERGER OF CONVECTION INTO
AN MCS SEEMS PROBABLE. THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO SEE CONVECTION WILL
BE SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AS WELL AS FAR WESTERN/SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI...ROUGHLY ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM NEVADA/FT SCOTT
SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD BRANSON AND CASSVILLE.

STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATE AND SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS
STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. WHILE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR SUPERCELLS...WEAK LOW
LEVEL SHEAR WILL SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT THE TORNADO THREAT. MARGINAL
LOW LEVEL THETA-E DIFFERENTIALS WILL HAVE A SIMILAR LIMITING
AFFECT ON DOWNBURST WIND POTENTIAL.

BOXELL/SCHAUMANN

LATER TONIGHT...

FOG MAY THEN DEVELOP ACROSS AT LEAST PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS
AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS. AT THIS TIME...THE SREF...RAW MODEL
OUTPUT...AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE PAINTING THE GREATEST
PROBABILITY OF FOG ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. RECENT SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE HAS ALSO INCREASED THE PROBABILITIES UP TOWARDS THE ROLLA
AREA. WE GENERALLY WENT WITH A MODEL CONSENSUS FOR LOWS TONIGHT.

EASTER...

DRY CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES TO OUR WEST. MILD CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR WITH ALL
AREAS WARMING INTO THE 60S. WE KNOCKED DOWN EXPECTED HIGH
TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO AS MODEL CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE
SCATTERED TO BROKEN CUMULUS POTENTIAL NORTH OF THE OZARK PLATEAU.
NEVERTHELESS...MOST LOCATIONS WILL STILL WARM INTO THE MIDDLE OR
UPPER 60S.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

MODELS HAVE THROWN A CURVE BALL REGARDING THE OVERALL IMPACTS OF THE
EXPECTED COLD FRONT FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. FIRST
OFF...THEY HAVE REALLY BACKED OFF ON QPF WITH THE INITIAL FRONTAL
PASSAGE. WITH A LACK OF MID/UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...THIS IS SOMEWHAT
BELIEVABLE FOR THE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING TIME PERIOD. MODELS
ARE PINGING MORE ON A FRONTOGENETIC LAYER IN THE 800 TO 700 MB LAYER
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI FROM LATER MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT. WE HAVE THEREFORE LOWERED POPS ACROSS
CENTRAL MISSOURI AND GONE WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

THE OTHER BIG CHANGE IS MODELS COMING IN MUCH WARMER FOR
TEMPERATURES MONDAY. NEARLY EVERY MODEL DEPICTS MUCH WARMER 850 MB
TEMPERATURES VERSUS PREVIOUS RUNS. WHILE WE WERE NOT QUITE READY TO
BUY INTO SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE...WE DID BUMP UP TEMPERATURES A
CATEGORY OR TWO. WITH THAT BEING SAID...WE HAVE ALSO BACKED OFF ON
ANY SNOW POTENTIAL AND MAINLY CONFINED IT TO CENTRAL MISSOURI. EVEN
UP IN THAT REGION...SNOW POTENTIAL HAS DIMINISHED FOR LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY. ANY SNOW THAT DOES FALL WILL NOT ACCUMULATE.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...

GLOBAL MODELS HOLD ONTO THIS FRONTOGENETIC ZONE IN CLOSE ENOUGH
PROXIMITY TO SOUTHERN MISSOURI TO MAINTAIN LOW POPS. IF PRECIPITATION
DOES HANG ON ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI...WE WOULD HAVE TO WATCH
FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SNOWFLAKES TUESDAY NIGHT. NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES ARE A TOUGH
CALL AS WE WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF A SYNOPTIC NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT. CLOUDS WILL ALSO LIKELY COME INTO PLAY. FOR NOW...WE HAVE
GONE WITH A MODEL CONSENSUS APPROACH WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

GLOBAL MODELS BRING UPPER LEVEL ENERGY EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. AT THIS TIME...WE FEEL
THAT THIS TRACK WILL KEEP THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION ACROSS
FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI...OR EVEN MORE LIKELY ACROSS ARKANSAS. WE HAVE
THEREFORE KEPT POPS IN THE 20 TO 30 PERCENT RANGE FOR THE MOST PART.
WE ALSO FEEL THAT ANY PRECIPITATION WOULD BE LIQUID IN NATURE.

LATE NEXT WEEK...

GLOBAL MODELS BRING UPPER LEVEL RIDGING INTO THE AREA. THIS WOULD
RESULT IN A WARMING TREND AND DRY CONDITIONS.

SCHAUMANN

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MID AFTERNOON AT ALL
TERMINALS. BY THE 21-23Z TIME FRAME...CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER THE FLINT HILLS OF KANSAS...AND EVENTUALLY PUSH EAST
TOWARD THE TERMINALS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
CONVECTION WILL BE MOST LIKELY AT JLN...AND HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO
GROUP TO ACCOUNT. MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL DIPS TO IFR CAN BE EXPECTED
WITH TSRA. FOR SGF AND BBG...JUST INCLUDED VCTS GROUPS GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT TIMING/COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THAT FAR EAST.

CONVECTION WILL END DURING THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS...WITH A
COLD FRONT THEN PASSING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT.
THIS WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTH AND EVENTUALLY NORTHEAST. FOR
SGF AND BBG...LOW STRATUS AND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE BEHIND THIS
FRONT DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE IN IFR
CONDITIONS IS HIGH ENOUGH AT BBG TO INCLUDE WITH THIS TAF CYCLE.
FOR SGF...HAVE TAKEN THINGS DOWN TO LOW END MVFR...AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND UPDATE/AMEND AS NECESSARY.

SKIES SHOULD EVENTUALLY CLEAR SUNDAY MORNING...WITH VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THEREAFTER.
