AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
346 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015

.SHORT TERM...(Late this Afternoon and Tonight)
Issued at 336 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015

A large area of showers and thunderstorms developed this afternoon
due to a returning warm front and leftover mesoscale convective
vortex (MCV) from convection across Oklahoma on Tuesday. We have
received a few hail reports along with reports of strong
straight-line winds with a few embedded line segments (but no damage
to this point).

This activity will continue to shift northeast late this afternoon
and this evening although it will run into a drier low level air
mass. We may also see some redevelopment behind this main activity
early this evening as a low level jet stream strengthens. Most of
this activity should shift out of the area by late this evening.

We will then be watching additional convective development across
the central Plains later tonight along a cold front. This activity
should begin to shift into extreme southeastern Kansas and
west-central Missouri before sunrise. Lows tonight should be pretty
close to 60 over most areas.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Wednesday)
Issued at 336 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015

That front will then push into central Missouri Thursday morning but
will begin to stall. Showers and thunderstorms should overspread
most of the Missouri Ozarks Thursday morning. Activity should then
decrease in coverage for a time from late morning into early
afternoon as upper level short wave ridging occurs.

Convective re-development will then be possible later Thursday
afternoon...especially if we can see any sunshine. It remains a
tough call as to whether or not the cap will break and we will see
surface-based convection. Deep layer shear will easily be sufficient
for storm organization as a mid and upper level speed max spreads
into the region. The orientation of the front when compared to wind
fields may not bode well for supercells...although motions of any
discrete storms would tend to move along that boundary.

We will also have to watch any convection that can manage to
develop across eastern Oklahoma as it may stand a better chance of
being supercellular. This is also highly questionable given that
the cap may hold.

Otherwise, the main play from late Thursday afternoon into
Thursday night may actually be multicells and line segments with an
attendant straight-line wind and hail threat. Low level wind shear
vectors may also be supportive of embedded mesovortex potential
for anything bowing to the east or northeast (especially along
that front or any remaining outflow).

Surface low pressure will then track from the southern Plains
through northern Arkansas or far southern Missouri from later
Thursday night into Friday morning. As this happens, that low level
jet will firm up and override that front. We are therefore looking
at widespread convective potential. We will have to watch the
hydro situation closely. We considered a Flood or Flash Flood Watch
with this forecast package. However, we would like to wait and see
where some key features begin to set up (e.g. low level front and
main theta-e advection) before honing in on a possible watch area.
We would also like to see how much rainfall we get tonight.

That front will then plow southeast later on Friday which will bring
an end to the precipitation threat. Brisk north winds will develop
with some areas possibly pushing Wind Advisory criteria. A decent
surface high will build south into the central Plains Friday night
and will open the door for a decent frost setup with lows in the
upper 20s to lower 30s.

Low level winds will then shift back around to southerly by Sunday
as that high scoots southeast of the area. Gulf moisture will begin
to return early next week as the upper level flow goes from flat to
southwesterly. This will likely result in unsettled weather
conditions with several opportunities for showers and thunderstorms
during the early and middle portion of next week. After that cool
start to the weekend, temperatures should warm to above normal
values by early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 1236 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015

An upper level disturbance is moving across the Missouri Ozarks
this afternoon and evening. This will bring scattered convection
to all terminals for the rest of the afternoon into the early
evening hours. Have mentioned VCTS and CB for the rest of the
afternoon with tempo groups to cover TSRA. Mostly VFR conditions
expected through this evening with a gradual decrease to MVFR
ceilings late tonight into tomorrow morning. Have included PROB30
for TS late tomorrow morning as the next round of potential
convection moves into the area. South and southeast winds will
remain breezy and gusty up to 25 knot possible.

453 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  ELEVATED HAIL RISK.
  ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK.
  ELEVATED LIGHTNING RISK.
  LIMITED NON THUNDERSTORM WIND RISK.

DISCUSSION...

  SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO THIS
  EVENING GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A STOCKTON TO TABLE ROCK
  LAKE LINE. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS...FREQUENT
  LIGHTNING...AND BRIEF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL BE THE PRIMARY
  HAZARDS WITH THESE STORMS. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL
  ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY LINE SEGMENTS THAT DEVELOP.

  ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN BEGIN TO PUSH INTO EXTREME
  SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT AS
  A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. FREQUENT LIGHTNING
  AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WITH
  THESE STORMS. A FEW STORMS MAY ALSO PRODUCE HAIL TO THE SIZE
  OF QUARTERS AND WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH.

  SOUTHERLY NON THUNDERSTORM WINDS AROUND 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO
  30 MPH ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF WESTERN MISSOURI
  AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.

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

  THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH INTO MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA DURING
  THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THURSDAY MORNING AS THAT
  FRONT BEGINS TO STALL. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS...FREQUENT
  LIGHTNING...WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
  BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

  WHILE THUNDERSTORMS MAY DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE FROM LATE
  THURSDAY MORNING INTO EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...ADDITIONAL
  DEVELOPMENT WILL THEN BE POSSIBLE LATER THURSDAY AFTERNOON
  INTO EARLY THURSDAY EVENING. IF THESE STORMS CAN MANAGE TO
  DEVELOP...WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR
  HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS AND WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH
  FROM A FEW OF THE STORMS. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS MAY SUPPORT A
  LIMITED THREAT FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO WITH ANY LINE SEGMENTS
  BOWING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST OR ANY SUPERCELLS MOVING ALONG
  THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AGAIN...THE THREAT FOR ANY TORNADOES
  LOOKS LIMITED AT THIS TIME.

  THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE THURSDAY
  NIGHT AS A LOW LEVEL JET STREAM INTERACTS WITH THE FRONTAL
  BOUNDARY. A LIMITED TO LOCALLY ELEVATED THREAT FOR SEVERE
  STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
  MISSOURI. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A LIMITED THREAT FOR
  FLOODING FROM LATER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS
  HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY ACROSS THE
  OZARKS. THE THREAT FOR ANY SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL
  WILL END BY LATE FRIDAY MORNING AS THAT FRONT CLEARS THE
  AREA.

  BEHIND THE FRONT...SUSTAINED NORTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH
  GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED FRIDAY MORNING AND EARLY
  FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL QUICKLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH LATE
  IN THE AFTERNOON.

  THERE WILL THEN BE PERIODIC THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FROM LATER
  SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED INTO THIS EVENING MAINLY
  EAST OF HIGHWAY 65 AND ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 44
  CORRIDOR.
