AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
618 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

CONTINUING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW THE WARM TEMPERATURES TO
REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION INTO THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF
A COLD FRONT. LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH OF THEN AREA AND THE COLD
FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST WILL WORK TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EVENING.

THE COLD FRONT WAS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM JUST EAST OF WICHITA TO
KANSAS CITY AND NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY. THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO MAKE SLOW PROGRESSION TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE FRONT. THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY
ACROSS THE REGION THAT WILL PROVIDE THE FUEL FOR SOME SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. NO SEVERE
STORMS ARE ANTICIPATED...BUT AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM OR TWO MAY
OCCUR.

THE COLD AIRMASS THAT HAS BEEN FORECAST BY THE MODELS WILL BEGIN TO
FILTER INTO THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE DAY ARE EXPECTED FOR FALL WITH THE DAILY HIGH COMING
TO MOST LOCATIONS BEFORE SUNRISE. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO FALL AS
THE FRONT MAKES ITS WAY EAST OF THE REGION LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITIONS TO THE COLD AND RAIN...WINDS WILL BE GUSTY
AT TIMES TO 20 TO 25 KTS. THIS WILL MAKE FOR A RAW DAY.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

THERE REMAINS DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK AND ULTIMATE POSITION OF
THE UPPER LOW WITH THIS SYSTEM FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...THE MODELS HAVE BEGUN TO AGREE ON THE DEPTH AND AMOUNT
OF COLD AIR THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE ECMWF/GFS AND NAM
ATE ALL INDICATING THE POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION TO BECOME SNOW MIX
WITH RAIN OR TO BRIEFLY HAVE ALL SNOW FALLING FOR PORTIONS OF THE
REGION. DEPENDING THE THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD AIR AND THE TRACK OF
THE UPPER LOW...AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 65 COULD SEE SNOW
FRIDAY MORNING THE BEST CHANCES FOR SNOW TO OCCUR HOWEVER IF FOR
AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF I-49. THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS WILL ALLOW
US TO HONE IN ON THE BEST AREA OF SNOWFALL. WHILE SNOW IS
POSSIBLE...GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE VERY WARM THANKS TO THE WARM
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION RECENTLY. IF ANY SNOW DOES
ACCUMULATE IT WILL BE ON GRASSY SURFACES.

THE SYSTEM WILL BRING VERY COLD AIR INTO HE REGION FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME LOCATIONS MAY SEE NEAR RECORD
LOWS AND/OR NEAR RECORD LOW DAILY HIGHS.

THE UPPER LOW WILL SPIN OVER THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND AND KEEP
CLOUD COVER AND LIGHT RAIN CHANCES IN PLACE FOR THE REGION THROUGH
SUNDAY. SOME LINGERING RAINFALL MAY REMAIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE CUTOFF LOW SLOWLY EXITS THE AREA TO THE EAST UNDER A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL FLOW REGIME AND AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW DIGS INTO
THE WEST COAST.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING...IN RESPONSE TO THE SYSTEM DIGGING INTO THE
WEST COAST IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE REGION BY MID NEXT WEEK. THIS
WOULD BRING A RETURN OF SOME MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURE. HOW LONG
THIS WOULD LAST IS STILL A QUESTION TOUGH...DEPENDING ON WHAT THE
WEST COAST SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK DECIDES TO DO.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 613 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE THROUGH THE NEXT 24
HOURS AND BEYOND. INITIALLY THIS EVENING...A FEW ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED WELL AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. KJLN SEEMS THE MOST
LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE A SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM EARLY THIS
EVENING...BUT EVEN THEN...CHANCES ARE RELATIVELY LOW.

LATER TONIGHT...RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION...WHICH WILL ALSO
SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST. A PERIOD OF MVFR IS EXPECTED BEFORE
CIGS DROP TO IFR CLOSER TO SUNRISE. IFR AND PERHAPS OCCASIONAL
BOUTS OF LIFR WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF
CYCLE AND BEYOND.

.CLIMATE...
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013
