Area Forecast Discussion

508 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

...12z Aviation Forecast Update...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 235 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

Hard to believe that severe weather will be possible later today
given the current dewpoints across the area which are still in
the upper 20s to low 30s. BTW...model guidance has us in the mid
40s by 09z which isn't gonna happen. Still very dry across the
region from the previous air mass and don't see 50 dewpoints until
you get past the Red River bordering OK/TX. That being said, we
are expecting quite a bit of recovery today, especially from late
morning through the afternoon ahead of a cold front. The severe
potential will be the main short term forecast focus.

Heading slightly ahead, the coldest air mass in awhile is slated
for Saturday night, with some wintry weather earlier in the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 235 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

For today, will need to monitor the moisture increase ahead of the
front as we will likely see temperatures rocket into the mid 70s
during the afternoon. Raw model instability looks to be overdone
given the poor initialization with respect to dewpoints. We have
used readings closer to MOS guidance which does increase dewpoints
back into the low to mid 50s ahead of the front later today. 0-6
bulk shear of 50-55kts by late afternoon early evening combined
with even lowered CAPE values should be sufficient for some storms
to produce large hail given the WBZ heights. Not overly impressed
with 0-1km shear so not really seeing much of a tornado risk. SPC
does have a 2% and 5% over the CWA for Tornado risk and will make
a last minute decision on whether to keep this risk in the morning
HWO product.

The timing of the potential severe weather will be from mid to
late afternoon into the early evening, with large hail the primary
risk and a secondary thunderstorm wind risk.

Drier air should quickly move in behind the front with little to
no precipitation occurring after 03z. Clearing should take place
overnight with lows dipping back down into the 30s for most
locations.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 235 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

Ole man winter isn't through with us just yet. A strong upper
speed max will begin to carve out a trough in the eastern U.S. on
Friday with northwest flow setting up over our region. Another
shortwave will push southeast out of the Rockies and into the
central U.S. on Saturday. The main surface low should remain well
to our south, but the shortwave will help to reinforce the colder
air deeper into the area. It will also bring precipitation back to
the forecast as moisture increases ahead of the shortwave. Eastern
sections of the CWA will have the best chance at "measurable" wet
snow with mainly rain to the southwest CWA and possibly some sleet
mixed in with the rain/snow in between. Forecast soundings not
showing a long lasting or real warm nose (2-3 deg C) and
antecedent ground conditions too warm to concern ourselves with
freezing rain at this time. Snow will probably have a hard time
sticking to pavement as well with March sun angles and most of the
snow during the day, as well as warm ground temperatures due to a
very warm winter. That being said, we could get between 1-2 inches
of snow in the grassy areas over the eastern Ozarks, however the
overall impacts with the winter weather appear to be rather
minimal at this point.

Of more concern will be with temperatures on Saturday night,
especially over the eastern Ozarks. Those with agricultural
interests should begin preparing for a hard freeze with lows in
the upper teens over the eastern Ozarks to the mid 20s in the
southwest CWA.

Another quick moving upper system will move into the area on
Sunday night into Monday which could bring another round of light
snow Sunday night, changing to rain during the day Monday.

Much of the first part of the week will remain on the chilly side,
but we should begin to recover for the later part of next work
week with upper ridge building back into the area and temperatures
returning back into the 60s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 444 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

Mostly VFR will continue for area airports through the next 24
hours. Winds will be breezy from the south-southwest later today
with some gusts up to 15 to 20 knots possible. Ceilings around 4k
or 5k feet will increase by afternoon and evening. A cold front
will approach the area late this afternoon and evening with
scattered convection. Convection will be around from roughly 21z
this afternoon to 03z this evening. Winds will shift to the north
between 10 and 13 knots overnight with skies clearing again late
tonight.

352 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Elevated Hail risk.
  Elevated Thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Elevated Lightning risk.
  Elevated Fire weather risk.

DISCUSSION...

Moisture will begin to increase today across the area which will
lead to some instability developing this afternoon out ahead of a
cold front. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon and early evening. Some of the storms could become
strong to severe if sufficient instability develops, with large
hail and damaging wind the main severe weather risks expected.

Some elevated fire weather concerns will still be possible across
portions of the eastern Ozarks today, however it should start to
moisten up during the day.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Colder air will move in behind the cold front on Friday, with a
chance of snow late Friday night into Saturday. Some accumulating
slushy wet snow will be possible across the eastern Ozarks.

A hard freeze is then expected to take place Saturday night across
the area with some teens across the eastern Ozarks to mid 20s in
the southwest corner of Missouri. Another hard freeze is expected
on Monday night with lows from the low to mid 20s.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and this evening
across the area.

...Light Snow Likely Saturday Followed by a Significant Hard
Freeze Saturday Night...

A much colder Canadian airmass will be moving into the area this
weekend. At the same time, an upper level disturbance will drop
southeastward into the region, bringing a good chance rain and
snow to much of the Missouri Ozarks. Relatively warm ground
conditions, high mid March sun angle, and forecast temperatures
hovering around or just above freezing will likely minimize
travel impacts, especially during the daylight hours. However, if
snow comes down hard at times, or if snow lasts much past sunset
when temperatures fall into the 20s, there could be some impacts,
especially on elevated roadways. One to three inches of slushy
snow accumulations may be possible on grassy surfaces and elevated
objects. All precipitation should exit the region by Saturday
evening.

Temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning will likely drop
into the upper teens to middle 20s across the area. Any early
vegetation growth from recent warm weather will likely be
severely impacted.
