AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1220 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2014

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1219 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

Complex severe weather scenario looks to unfold across the region
over the next 6-12 hours, as several potential waves of strong to
severe convection affect the area.

Initial concern as of 17Z is a strengthening band of mainly
elevated convection moving northeast across extreme western
Missouri, extending southeast into the Table Rock Lake region.  This
convection will continue to move northeast this afternoon, with
embedded isolated strong to severe storms.  Hail will be the main
concern with this convection given its elevated nature, though an
occasional strong wind gust isn't entirely out of the question.
Should this convection become more surface based with time (possibly
later this afternoon across central MO and eastern Ozarks), then a
conditional tornado threat will exist.

As one might imagine, this leading area of convection complicates
this situation later this afternoon/evening.  Along with the
possibility of this initial round of convection becoming surface
based across central MO and the eastern Ozarks, will also be closely
watching the dry line across east-central Oklahoma, from Tulsa south
to west of the Ft Smith region.  The airmass across this area is
largely untouched, with upper 60s dewpoints advecting into the
region.  Some breaks are noted in vis satellite across this region,
and as temperatures warm into the upper 70s/near 80, MLCAPE values
should increase to around 2000-2500 J/KG.  An area of enhanced
height falls should overspread this area between 20Z and 22Z this
afternoon, which will be the favored window for supercell
development along the dryline.  While convective initiation is
somewhat conditional, if it should take place, supercells should
find themselves in a favorable environment across eastern Oklahoma
and western Arkansas.  Storm motions toward the northeast would then
bring any convection that fires along the dry line into southern
Missouri later this evening. Any supercells that are able to move
into southern Missouri later this evening/tonight would bring with
them the potential for very large hail, gusty winds, and
tornadoes.

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Monday night)

An episode of severe thunderstorms will impact extreme southeast
Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks today. We're starting to see
model consensus regarding the evolution and timing of these
storms. The three models we leaned our forecast toward, includes
the 00Z HiRes ARW, 05Z H-Trip, and the 00Z ECMWF.

Consensus amongst these solutions showed a large band of deep
convection to develop across the central Plains early this
morning, and approach southeast Kansas and western Missouri by 10
or 11am.

The primary forcing mechanism can be traced back to the main belt
of large scale ascent aloft, in response to the upper cyclone
ejecting over the Plains.

This band of convection would shift eastward into the Highway 65
corridor from 1pm to 3pm...and into the eastern Ozarks late
afternoon and evening.

When considering this timing, limitations on instability levels
could play out. Cloud cover and precipitation could keep mixed layer
capes below 1000 j/kg over most of the Ozarks the entire day. This
modest level of available energy will likely limit storm impacts.

One final note regarding instability, moisture quality within
this system is not that great. We analyzed soundings out of Fort
Worth, Norman, Little Rock, and Shreveport. All three measurements
showed an elevated mixed layer, keeping precipitable water values
low.

The better moisture can be found within the Lake Charles RAOB. This
air mass was nosing into southeast Texas this morning. This higher
octane air is unlikely to make it into southern Missouri today,
but will spread deep into Arkansas, thus potentially more impact
from storms in central/eastern Arkansas later today.

When considering wind shear, numerous organized updrafts will
unfold, and should yield a decent frequency of large hail and
damaging wind gusts. We currently think there is a lower risk for
tornadoes, since levels of instability and placement of
instability within the southern Missouri air mass is uncertain.

So from a message and Hazardous Weather Outlook standpoint, we
will include a limited risk for tornadoes, with higher risks for
large hail and damaging wind gusts.

The HiRes ARW has storms exiting the eastern Ozarks around
midnight or shortly after.  Most solutions suggest that Monday's
convection will fire closer to the Mississippi Delta regions,
keeping the severe weather risk east of the Springfield CWA.

The Pacific front will move through southern Missouri on Monday. A
cooling trend will then occur, as overnight lows on Monday night fall
into the 40s.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)

A highly blocked pattern then evolves over much of the lower 48. A
long wave trough carves through the nation's midsection, while
strong ridging builds along the West Coast. This will keep
temperatures on the cool side through the entire week. We could
also experience some showers from time to time, although many
locations across the Ozarks should remain dry.

Temperatures on Tuesday will struggle to warm out of the 60s,
eventually falling into the lower 40s Tuesday night.

Even cooler temperatures are expected on Wednesday, with readings
failing to warm out of the 50s. Perhaps Wednesday night into
Thursday morning will be the coldest period this week, with lows
in the upper 30s. Some middle 30s are possible Thursday morning in
areas sheltered within the Ozark terrain.

There are some indications that the upper trough finally fills and
moves toward the Great Lakes by Saturday night or Sunday. Most
medium range solutions suggest northwest flow across mid America.
This would allow for slightly warmer temperatures. However, there
are no indications of decent precip changes in the long term
periods.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday Morning)
Issued at 655 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

For the KSGF/KJLN/KBBG tafs: A slow moving storm will produce
periods of showers and thunderstorms over the region especially
during the 27/15z-28/00z time frame ahead of a dry line that is
expected to move quickly through the area. Ceilings will vary, but
will generally be vfr, especially early in the taf period with
considerable capping/strong elevated mixed layer. The overall
better chances for precip will likely occur in the afternoon and
early evening at KBBG and KSGF with a weakening cap while abundant
low level moisture is still in place. Much drier air will move
into the area this evening and overnight with vfr conditions
expected.
