Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
1142 AM CDT WED MAR 30 2016

...Increasing Coverage of Storms this Afternoon...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1135 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2016

Monitoring increasing convection from northeastern Oklahoma into
northern Arkansas in advance of upper level shortwave trackingnortheast
from the Red River Valley. Strong moisture advection and Most
Unstable Cape of 1000-2000 J/KG will support a continued increase
in coverage and intensity of showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon. Expect this afternoon's activity to be elevated in
nature with the primary severe weather risk being hail up to the
size of quarters.

Will also monitoring for the development of thunderstorms farther
west across Kansas in advance of approaching primary upper level
trough and surface dryline. Convection is expected to fire along
this dry line late this afternoon near the I-35 corridor in
eastern Kansas and then spread eastward into western Missouri this
evening. This activity will have the potential to produce all
modes of severe weather especially along and west of the I-49
corridor.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 245 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2016

The main concern for this time frame remains unchanged: Severe
weather potential.

Strong low pressure will shift east across Neb with a trailing
dryline reaching the Flint Hills region of KS by early evening
7pm/31-00z. The main concern will be how much convection will be
able to fire along the dryline late today and this evening while
moderate instability is in place.

Some modest moisture return at around 850mb is evident in
sfc observations and is in line with RAP progged soundings in the
near term. Moisture is advecting n-ne underneath and elevated
mixed layer/cap along with more extensive mid/upper level
moisture. Will still take some work to get precip going with sfc
dew points still in the low/mid 30s.

Subtle mid level impulses moving northeast from the southern
Plains will increase overall lift while deeper low level moisture
rapidly increases for the southwest this morning increasing
chances for elevated convection with mucapes reaching up to near
1500 j/kg. Can't rule out some hail with stronger updrafts given
good mid level lapse rates.

There will be a break, or at least a partial one, in the overall
coverage of showers during the mid afternoon. Attention then turns
to the dryline off to our west. A narrow corridor of moderate surface
based instability is expected to develop with uncapped mlcape
values of about 1500 j/kg by early evening (progged GFS KJLN
sounding). The temporal window for progged robust instability
(GFS) looks small late today and this evening but given the
strong vertical shear a large hail and tornado threat exists where
discreet convection can develop. The high res ARW and NMM are not
too bullish in moving the convection too far off the dryline
initially so it looks like the best chance for severe storms late
today and this evening will be over the western cwfa.

As the low continues off to the east, a cold front catches up to
the dryline and moves east through the cwfa overnight. Again, high
res models are not to bullish with convection as the front sweeps
through with more robust convection to our south limited
moisture/buoyancy over our area (as mentioned in SPC discussion).
Will need to watch trends closely as the weather evolves today.
The SPC day 1 looks good with a slightly higher probability of
tornadoes over the far western cwfa and a general 15% hail and
wind risk over most of the area. The hail risk will likely be more
tied to earlier elevated convection and then what every develops
near the dryline. The wind risk will be more late today and
tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 245 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2016

A colder and dry air mass moves into the area behind the front
Thu. Frost headlines may be needed with the coldest night/early
morning looking to be Fri/Sat morning. A couple of
shortwaves moving through the upper level nw flow may produce
some clouds brief sprinkles over the northeast cwfa Fri.

A quick warming trend will occur this weekend. Another front is
expected to move south into/through the area Monday, but with
dry air expected to be in place, only modest rain chances are
expected at best. Cooler and dry weather is expected for day
7/Tue.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 625 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2016

MVFR stratus is beginning to build into the area this morning, and
cloud cover will likely remain in place for much of the day today.
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible at times today, with the
best chances early this afternoon and again later this evening.
Occasional drops to IFR will be possible with thunderstorms today,
as well as strong and erratic winds.

A front should clear the area later tonight, bringing an eventual
return to VFR by the latter portions of the forecast period.
