AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1130 PM CDT FRI MAR 22 2013
...UPDATE TO AVIATION...
.UPDATE...
HAVE ISSUED A DENSE FOG ADVISORY FOR A GOOD PART OF SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI THROUGH 11 AM SATURDAY. PATCHY DENSE FOG ALONG THE
MISSOURI ARKANSAS BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND THROUGHOUT THE
REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.
LINDENBERG
&&
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...
THROUGH TONIGHT...LOW STRATUS ALONG WITH SOME DENSE FOG OVER
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OVER FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI CONTINUES TO HANG
TOUGH AND LOOK FOR THAT TO CONTINUE TONIGHT. STRATUS BUILD DOWN IS
EXPECTED AFTER SUNSET GIVEN VERY MOIST LOW LEVELS AND RELATIVELY
MODEST WINDS. NEXT SHIFTS WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF
A FOG ADVISORY IF/WHEN FOG BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD. TEMPERATURES
HOVERING NEAR FREEZING OVER SOME PARTS OF THE OZARKS WILL LEAD TO
SOME FREEZING FOG POTENTIAL.
DSA
THE MAIN FORECAST FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM WAS ON THE POTENTIAL
FOR YET ANOTHER LATE SEASON WINTER STORM FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY.
OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN SNOW POTENTIAL HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY WITH
THIS SYSTEM...BUT THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED. ONE
REASON WE ARE NOT YET CONFIDENT ENOUGH FOR WARNINGS/ADVISORIES IS
DUE TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. LONG WAVE
CHARTS SUPPORT DIGGING OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE FROM THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS FROM
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. INTERESTINGLY...THE WAVE FIVE
CHARTS SUPPORT THIS FEATURE CONTINUING TO DIG AT LEAST AS FAR
EAST AS EASTERN KANSAS/OKLAHOMA. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS...INCLUDING
PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE ECMWF...HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THIS A BIT. MOST
MODELS HAVE BEEN QUICK TO CLOSE OFF THE LOW AND PIVOT IT NORTHEAST
SOMEWHERE JUST WEST OF...OR OVER THE MISSOURI OZARKS. ANOTHER
DETERRENT FROM HIGHER CONFIDENCE WILL BE UPPER LEVEL JET PHASING.
AS THIS ENERGY APPROACHES THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR...IT WILL
PHASE WITH A SOUTH PACIFIC FETCH. THIS INTERACTION MAY DELAY A
TRUE JET CORE FROM EMERGING ON THE EASTERN FLANK OF THE UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY. THIS WOULD ALSO RESULT IN A SLOWER PIVOT TO THE LOW.
WITH ALL OF THAT SAID...THE 12Z ECMWF CAPTURES THIS IDEA FAIRLY
WELL AND WE HAVE BASED MUCH OF THE FORECAST ON THIS SOLUTION.
NOW FOR THE SPECIFICS. RAIN WILL DEVELOP FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS
THE OZARKS ON SATURDAY AS STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE
OVERSPREADS THE REGION. WE MAY SEE ENOUGH INSTABILITY SNEAK INTO
WESTERN MISSOURI FOR A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON. A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDER WILL THEN OCCUR SATURDAY
NIGHT AS A DRY SLOT WORKS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. OUTSIDE OF ANY
CONVECTION...PLAIN OLD DRIZZLE WILL ALSO BE QUITE POSSIBLE BENEATH
THIS DRY SLOT. AS WE HEAD INTO LATER SATURDAY NIGHT...WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO PUSH BACK INTO THE OZARKS FROM THE WEST.
ANY RAIN/DRIZZLE WILL BEGIN TO TRANSITION TO SNOW FROM WEST TO
EAST LATER SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. MODERATE TO
HEAVY SNOW WILL THEN BE QUITE POSSIBLE FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. IT
APPEARS THAT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 4 TO 8 INCH RANGE WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE LAKES REGION OF CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE WINTER
STORM WATCH COVERS THIS WELL AND WAS LEFT INTACT. LIGHTER SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI AS UPWARD
OMEGAS OWING TO LOCAL PRESSURE TENDENCIES RAMP UP DUE TO THE
PASSING UPPER LEVEL LOW. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS SCENARIO
CLOSELY AS A PIVOT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI COULD RESULT IN A
BURST OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL TO THE SOUTH OF THE CURRENT WATCH.
SCHAUMANN
&&
.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...LARGE UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW/COLD AIR
MASS OVER THE MIDWEST WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED UNSEASONABLY COLD
TEMPERATURES AND CLOUDY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH SOME FLURRIES TO START
THIS PERIOD. THE GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS IS TO EASE THE COLD AIR
MASS EAST WITH TIME WITH A GRADUAL...BUT FAIRLY MODEST WARMUP DURING
THE MIDWEEK PERIOD. SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
TUE/EARLY WED...WITH A SOUTH RETURN FLOW DEVELOPING WED/THU.
BROAD... WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT UP AND INTO THE
RETREATING HIGH PRESSURE WILL LEAD TO INCREASED CLOUDS WITH CHANCES
FOR RAIN...ESPECIALLY LATE THU INTO FRI.
DSA
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...STRATUS BUILD DOWN HAS CONTINUED DURING THE
EVENING AND WOULD EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO KANSAS ON
SATURDAY WITH SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
SHOULD BEGIN TO SEE RAIN DEVELOP DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON
HOURS OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI. KEEPING IFR
CONDITIONS GOING THROUGH THE PERIOD.

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS WEEKEND. AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM...RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL OVERSPREAD THE OZARKS FROM WEST TO EAST FROM SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY EVENING. THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM ANY STORMS WILL BE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. THE RAIN WILL THEN BEGIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA FROM LATER SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE TRUMAN LAKE AND LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION OF CENTRAL MISSOURI...WHERE A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY. LIGHTER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED FURTHER SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. ADDITIONALLY...BRISK AND GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP ON SUNDAY WHICH MAY RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW... ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE COMBINATION OF RAINFALL AND MELTING SNOW WILL LIKELY LEAD TO RISING CREEKS AND RIVERS FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
