AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
311 PM CDT SUN APR 7 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT SUN APR 7 2013

SLOWLY BUT SURELY WE CONTINUE TO MOISTEN AND DESTABILIZE. A WEST
TO EAST DEWPOINT BOUNDARY HAS POSITIONED ITSELF FROM SOUTHEASTERN
KANSAS INTO SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI...AND THIS BOUNDARY WILL NEED TO
BE MONITORED FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HEADING INTO
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. ACCORDING TO LAPS DATA...
MLCAPE HAS RISEN TO BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 J/KG ALONG AND WEST OF A
LINE FROM FORT SCOTT KANSAS TO SPRINGFIELD AND BRANSON MISSOURI
WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF INHIBITION. MUCAPE HAS RISEN TO BETWEEN
1500 AND 2000 J/KG ACROSS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA...
WHICH IS ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF HWY 60 AND ALONG AND WEST OF
HWY 65.

A CLUSTER OF STORMS THAT INITIATED IN THE VICINITY OF WICHITA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IS HEADING EAST. THESE CELLS HAVE SHOWN
SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL AS SPLITTING TENDENCIES. THIS
CLUSTER SHOULD CONTINUE TO GENERALLY MOVE EAST WITH ADDITIONAL...
ISOLATED CELL DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE NEAR THE DEWPOINT "FRONT." AS
HAS BEEN ADVERTISED...HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN RISK...WITH UP TO
QUARTER/PING PONG BALL SIZED STONES POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
CELLS. THERE IS A LOCALIZED RISK FOR WIND DAMAGE.

SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL GENERALLY FOCUS MORE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN THIRD OR SO OF THE OUTLOOK AREA AS WE HEAD INTO THE
EVENING HOURS (HWY 54 CORRIDOR). CANNOT RULE OUT A DECAYING
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX ENTERING FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER
THE LOSS OF INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN THIS SYSTEM DISINTEGRATING
OVER THE AREA BY SUNRISE MONDAY.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT LARGELY LOOK QUIET. ELEVATED MIXED
LAYER/CAP WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION AND SHIFT A SURFACE BOUNDARY
WELL TO OUR NORTH. CANNOT RULE OUT A ROGUE SHOWER OR STORM...
PARTICULARLY OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI...BUT MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD
REMAIN ON THE DRY SIDE. SHOULD SEE AN APPRECIABLE INCREASE IN
STRATUS LATE TONIGHT AND THIS WILL LIKELY STICK AROUND MOST OF
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD WITH 50S
FOR LOWS AND LOW 70S FOR HIGHS...ANY BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST COULD
YIELD A FEW MORE DEGREES OF WARMING MONDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT SUN APR 7 2013

TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE
INTERESTING FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS
ESPECIALLY AREAS WEST OF HIGHWAY 65 WHERE SPC HAS PORTIONS OF THE
AREA IN A HATCHED SHADED OUTLOOK ON DAY 3 ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE
AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK. FOR THE MOST PART...DURING THE DAY ON
TUESDAY WILL BE QUIET WITH A STRONG CAP AROUND 800 MB KEEPING ANY
CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING. DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 60S
WITH HIGHS REACHING THE MIDDLE 70S. A WARM AND MUGGY SPRING-LIKE
DAY.

A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA BORDER
TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG WITH A SHARP DRYLINE. THIS AREA WILL BE
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT BY LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THE GFS AND NAM ALONG WITH HIRES 4KM WRF SUGGEST A
PREFRONTAL TROUGH AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP BY
TUESDAY EVENING FROM EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN MISSOURI. IF
THIS AREA DOES MATERIALIZE AND BREAK THE CAP...SEVERE STORMS WILL
BE LIKELY WITH SOME SUPERCELL POTENTIAL EARLY IN THE EVENING
ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. CAPE VALUES
WILL BE APPROACHING 2000 J/KG. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR WILL BE 50 KNOTS
PLUS. 0-3KM HELICITY WILL BE NEAR 300 M2/S2. THERE IS EVEN SOME
EVIDENCE EARLY ON THE IN EVENING OF 0-1KM LOW LEVEL CAPE
APPROACHING 100 J/KG. IF ANY ROTATING CELLS CAN TAP INTO THIS
LOWER LEVEL ENERGY...WILL HAVE A THREAT OF A COUPLE OF TORNADOES
AROUND THE AREA. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER LOOK POSSIBLE WITH
MORE OF A DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL THREAT OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT.

A COLD FRONT WILL TAKE OVER THE DRYLINE SURGING SOUTHEASTWARD
OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP THE STORMS INTO A LINEAR FASHION
OR A SQUALL LINE. THE MAIN THREAT FOR THE LATE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL ALONG WITH
DANGEROUS LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL. TWO DAYS RAINFALL TOTAL QPF
THROUGH THE MID WEEK EVENT WILL BE BETWEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS. SATURATED GROUNDS AND ANY TRAINING OF
STORMS MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING THREAT AND SOME
ELEVATED WATER LEVELS ON AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY
MORNING. AREAS OF THE FAR EASTERN OZARKS MAY DESTABILIZED JUST
ENOUGH BY MIDDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH A SLIGHT RISK FOR
ADDITIONAL SEVERE STORMS MOVING OFF INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. RAIN
WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE TROUGH SWINGS
THROUGH ON THURSDAY WITH MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR A COUPLE OF
DAYS. THE TROUGH LIFTS OUT BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH MODERATING
TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE FLOW MAY BRING A
FEW SHOWERS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT SUN APR 7 2013

FOR THE 18Z TAFS (JLN/SGF/BBG)...PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. CONFIDENCE IN EXACT COVERAGE IS
STILL LOW...AND HAVE OPTED TO USE VCTS AT JLN AND SGF FOR THE TIME
BEING UNTIL CONFIDENCE INCREASES. HAVE KEPT BBG DRY FOR NOW...AN
ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT HERE...HOWEVER IT
APPEARS THE BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTIVITY WILL BE TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE BBG AERODROME. CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH THE FOCUSING LIFTING NORTH OF THE
AERODROMES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE
PREVALENT TONIGHT AS A MODERATE LOW LEVEL JET SPREADS OVER THE
REGION. LAMP AS WELL AS MAV/MET MOS GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO HINT AT
IFR CIG DEVELOPMENT AT ALL TAF SITES THIS EVENING AND PERSISTING
INTO MONDAY. UPSTREAM OBS IN OKLAHOMA DID FLIRT WITH IFR STRATUS
AT TIMES...THOUGH NOT QUITE READY TO BITE OFF ON WIDESPREAD IFR
AFTER LOOKING AT THE SREF PROBABILITIES. HAVE MAINTAINED
DEVELOPMENT OF LOW END MVFR CIGS.
