AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
155 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...

THE INGREDIENTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT EPISODE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE COME TOGETHER OVER THE OZARKS AIRMASS THIS AFTERNOON. STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN STRENGTH OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...POSING A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND
TORNADOES.

A SPECIAL RADIOSONDE OBSERVATION WAS PERFORMED AT NOON...AND THIS
DATA MEASURED 2075 J/KG OF CAPE FROM A MIXED LAYER PARCEL. 90 J/KG
OF THIS CAPE WAS DISTRIBUTED BELOW 3 KM...SUGGESTING AN INCREASED
RISK FOR TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON.

DECENT NORMALIZED CAPE WITHIN THE -10 TO -30 LAYER...ALSO
INDICATES THAT LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS CAN NOT BE
RULED OUT. WITH ANY LINE SEGMENTS THAT DEVELOP...REAR INFLOW WINDS
FORCED TO THE SURFACE WOULD CREATE A DAMAGING WIND RISK. SO ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...AND STORM
TYPES COULD BE MIXED AND MESSY AS WELL.

REGARDING THE SHEAR...35 TO 40 KNOTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT
FOR OVERALL STORM ORGANIZATION.

CRAMER

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)

A SIGNIFICANT EPISODE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS UNDERWAY ACROSS
EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS. CLEARING THIS
MORNING ALLOWED FOR SUFFICIENT HEATING TO DESTABILIZE OUR AIRMASS.
THIS INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH DECENT SHEAR...WILL ORGANIZE
STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...POSING A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL UP TO
THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70
MPH...AND TORNADOES. THIS ACTIVITY IS BEING DRIVEN BY A NICE 700
MB SPEED MAX APPROACHING THE REGION FROM KANSAS.

THE HYDROLOGY SITUATION IS ALSO BEING CLOSELY
MONITORED...PARTICULARLY OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS...AN AREA THAT
EXPERIENCED WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF TWO TO FIVE INCHES LAST NIGHT.
FLOODING IS ONGOING ACROSS CHEROKEE...CRAWFORD...AND BOURBON
COUNTIES...AND WILL ONLY BECOME WORSE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

EVENTUALLY LATE TONIGHT...STORM INTENSITIES AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS
WILL BEGIN TO CEASE...MOST LIKELY SETTING UP A TEMPORARY PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...STORMS
WILL ONCE AGAIN FIRE ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS FRIDAY EVENING...AND
EVENTUALLY BLANKET THE OZARKS REGION FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...AND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
MOISTURE IN PLACE...WILL BE IDEAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING. AS A MATTER OF FACT...SEVERAL MODELS ARE NOW SUGGESTING
THAT ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD RANGE FROM THREE
TO FIVE INCHES...JUST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY ALONE.

RAINFALL WILL END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

CRAMER

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)

A DRY CONTINENTAL AIRMASS WILL BE MUCH WELCOMED ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY AND INTO THE EARLY WORK WEEK. THIS AIRMASS COMBINED WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...WILL KEEP GULF MOISTURE AT BAY...ALLOWING
FOR DRY WEATHER THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY.

THERE IS A SIGNAL FROM THE GFS...INDICATING THAT A SHORTWAVE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST TUESDAY MORNING...POTENTIALLY CREATING A
CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. EVEN IF THIS
MATERIALIZES...THIS CLUSTER WILL MOVE QUICKLY...AND ONLY IMPACT A
FEW LOCATIONS.

WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY TIME FRAME FOR
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ALL
SIGNAL A UNSEASONABLY STRONG CLOSED OFF CYCLONE POSITIONED ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER ACTIVE
PERIOD MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. LETS JUST GET THROUGH SATURDAY...AND
WE'LL FOCUS A LITTLE MORE ON NEXT WEEK THOUGH :)
