AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
123 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL INCREASING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 115 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

THE INITIAL COLD FRONT OR PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH HAD STALLED ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AT MIDDAY AND EXTENDED FROM JUST EAST OF
BRANSON TO JUST EAST OF ROLLA. TEMPERATURES HAD RISEN INTO THE MID
AND UPPER 70S ACROSS FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI WHILE READINGS
WERE IN THE 40S NEAR THE MISSOURI KANSAS BORDER. PRECIPITATION
REMAINED WIDESPREAD FROM EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI
BEHIND THE SECONDARY OR TRUE COLD FRONT.

THE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI OR GENERALLY
EAST OF A GAINESVILLE TO SALEM LINE HAS BECOME INCREASING
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

MIXED LAYER CAPE WAS ON THE ORDER OF 1500 J/KG WITH LOW LEVEL
CAPE DEPICTED BY RUC ANALYSIS BETWEEN 50 AND 100 J/KG. THE 18Z
SOUNDING FROM LITTLE ROCK DEPICTED A SIMILAR ENVIRONMENT.

ENVIRONMENTAL HELICITIES CURRENTLY RANGED UP TO 100 M2/S2 BUT
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOWED BACKING WINDS. ALSO EXPECT DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL HELICITIES TO INCREASE AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND A SURFACE
WAVE TRACKING NORTH FROM ARKANSAS.

WITH THAT SAID THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE
FOR SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT FROM MID AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE OVERALL RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER HAS INCREASED
INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES.

OTHERWISE SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE BEHIND
THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. THE PERSISTENT RAINFALL AND TRAINING
OF CONVECTION COULD LEAD TO FLOODING ISSUES THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA INTO THIS EVENING.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS...LOCAL MEDIA...AND SPOTTERS ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR RADAR TRENDS...AND STAYED
TUNED FOR THE ISSUANCE OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 300 AM CDT WED APR 10 2013

WELL WE CERTAINLY HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THE FORECAST OVER THE LAST
24 HOURS. A COLD FRONT HAS SHIFTED EAST INTO THE WESTERN
CWFA...WAY AHEAD OF OUR FORECAST AND GUIDANCE. THE FRONT HAS
UNDERCUT ANY WEAK CONVECTION THAT GETS GOING ALONG IT. DEEPER AND
MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS OCCURRING BACK OVER EASTERN KS AND
NORTHEAST OK...VERY ELEVATED. THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR SMALL HAIL
IN THE NEAR TERM AS DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT...MUCH OF IT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT FOR NOW...SHIFTS EAST PROVIDING LARGER SCALE LIFT.

GIVEN THAT GUIDANCE (AND OUR FORECAST) HAS MISSED BY A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT AS TO WHERE THE FRONT IS RIGHT NOW LEADS TO A
LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN TERMS OF WHERE HEAVIER RAINFALL AND
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL SET UP LATER TODAY. WILL WATCH THE
PROGRESS OF THE FRONT CLOSELY. IN THEORY...EXPECT THE FRONT TO
SLOW IT'S PROGRESS FOR A TIME IN THE DEEP SSW UPPER LEVEL
FLOW...ALLOWING FOR SOME DESTABILIZATION OVER THE EASTERN CWFA BY
AFTERNOON. FORECAST MODELS SHOW AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION OVER
EASTERN MO THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS A RESULT...BUT I HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE AS TO WHERE THE FRONT WILL SET UP. WILL
KEEP A CONDITIONAL MENTION OF SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES OVER THE
EASTERN CWFA LATER TODAY...ESPECIALLY IF CONVECTION CAN BEGIN TO
DEVELOP WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR. SO FAR THAT HAS BEEN HARD TO DO.

TEMPERATURE TRENDS: COLDER AIR IS ALREADY MOVING INTO THE WESTERN
CWFA...AND WILL JUST TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN IN TERMS OF PROGGING
SHORT TERM TRENDS. ALREADY HAVE UPPER 40S/NEAR 50 DEGREES OVER OUR
SE KS COUNTIES...AND IT ISN'T LIKELY TO GET ANY WARMER. THE
TEMPERATURE FORECAST MAYBE AS MUCH ART AS IT IS SCIENCE IN THE
NEAR TERM.

HYDROLOGY: AFTER A BIT OF COLLABORATION...HAVE DECIDED NOT TO
ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH FOR LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. TOO MANY
QUESTIONS EXIST. WILL NEED TO WATCH TRENDS THOUGH WITH THE
POTENTIAL OF HEAVIER RAIN DEVELOPING NEAR AND JUST BEHIND THE
FRONT LATER TODAY/EARLY TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 AM CDT WED APR 10 2013

NO BIG CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE FORECAST FOR THIS PERIOD. A
VERY CHILLY AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH EARLY
SATURDAY WITH A COUPLE OF NIGHTS SEEING TEMPERATURES FALL TO THE
LOW 30S. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE GROWING
SEASON...BUT SO FAR AM NOT SEEING A WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE. THE
LATEST GFSX MOS HAS COME UP A LITTLE ON LOWS. THE ECMWF HAS SFC
HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT ON TOP OF OUR AREA BY 12Z SAT WITH TEMPS CLOSE
TO FREEZING. FROST HEADLINES SEEM LIKE A GOOD BET AT SOME POINT.

SOUTH WINDS WILL PICK UP LATE SATURDAY AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE AND
SFC LOW MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. A COLD FRONT
EVENTUALLY WILL APPROACH AND THEN BECOME STATIONARY OVER THE
REGION AS SW FLOW ALOFT BECOMES ESTABLISHED AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH
DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE SOUTH
WILL INITIALLY BE LIMITED...BUT LIKELY ENOUGH TO HAVE SOME LOW
RAIN CHANCES FOR NOW FOR LATE SUNDAY-TUE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1218 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES
ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WESTERLY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
AS THE FRONT PUSHES TO THE EAST. DURING THE AFTERNOON...A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS MAY INTENSIFY WITH INCREASED INSTABILITY. CEILINGS
WILL BEGIN TO LIFT IN THE MORNING AS THE FRONT EXITS TO THE EAST.

OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  LIMITED TORNADO RISK.
  ELEVATED HAIL RISK.
  ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK.
  LIMITED FLOODING RISK.
  SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING RISK.

DISCUSSION...

  STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
  MISSOURI EAST OF A GAINESVILLE TO SALEM LINE THIS AFTERNOON AND
  EVENING. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL
  TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70
  MPH. THERE IS A RISK FOR A COUPLE OF TORNADOES.

  THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI HAS
  INCREASED WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED
  PRIMARILY BETWEEN 2 AND 7 PM.

  RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
  OUTLOOK AREA TODAY. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE SMALL
  HAIL.

  IN ADDITION...ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO
  INCHES WILL OCCUR IN SOME LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY WHERE STORMS
  TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. THIS HEAVY RAINFALL COULD RESULT IN
  FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS...LOW WATER CROSSINGS AND OTHER FLOOD
  PRONE AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

  AN UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR MASS WILL CAUSE LOW TEMPERATURES TO DIP
  TO NEAR FREEZING BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS. TEMPERATURES
  MAY FALL INTO THE MID 30S OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN
  MISSOURI BY LATE TONIGHT AS WELL.

  SOUTH WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY.

  ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT...MONDAY
  ...AND TUESDAY AS ANOTHER FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION.
