AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 557 AM CST FRI FEB 9 2001 BEEN RUNNING LATE IN ISSUING ZONES DUE TO RAPIDLY CHANGING WX THIS MORNING. MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM IS THE ONGOING SEVERE WX THREAT AND WINTERY WX FOLLOWING IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS. ALL MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH EVOLUTION OF UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. BASED FORECAST ON ETA. COLD FRONT HAS JUST PASSED THRU SGF AND DROPPED TEMPS FROM THE LOW 60S TO THE LOW 40S IN A VERY SHORT TIME. TEMPS ALSO CONT TO FALL FURTHER WEST AS JLN WAS DOWN TO 33 DEGREES. SERN KS AT OR NEAR THE FREEZING MARK. WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYS STILL TO THE WEST...THERE WILL BE SVRL HRS MORE OF PCPN. XPCT RAIN TO SWITCH TO A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE XTRM SERN KS COUNTIES AND XTRM SWRN MO COUNTIES WILL EXPERIENCE A LONGER DURATION OF PCPN WITH TEMPS FALLING TO THE FREEZING MARK. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME ICE AND SLEET ACCUMULATION WITH RESULTANT TRAVEL PRBLMS. HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WX ADV FOR THE SERN KS COUNTIES AND THREE COUNTIES IN XTRM SWRN MO ADJACENT TO KS. THIS ADV WILL BE THRU MID MORNING. IN ADDITION...LN OF STG TO SVR TSTMS MOVED NEWD FROM OK AND INTO SWRN MO AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD ENEWD. SPC ISSUED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE CWFA UNTIL 9 AM. ONLY THE XTRM NRN COUNTIES AND THOSE COUNTIES IN THE WINTER WX ADVISORY ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE SVR TSTM WATCH. THE REMAINDER OF THE CWFA CAN XPCT A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET IN THE WAKE OF SHWRS AND TSTMS. BUT XPCT ONLY MINOR ACCUM AS UPPER SYS PICKS UP SPEED AND BLOWS ON THRU. SOME WRAP AROUND MSTR MAY CAUSE LIGHT SNOW OVER THE FAR NRN COUNTIES LATER THIS AFTN AS UPPER SYS MOVES ACROSS MO. XPCT ONLY ONE INCH OR LESS. OTRW...DRASTIC CHANGE TO COLDER TEMPS IN STORE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY. TEMPS WILL LIKELY FALL TO THE MID 20S THIS AFTN. WIND CHILLS WILL BE BITTERLY COLD...IN THE RANGE OF -15 TO -20 DUE TO NWRLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH. AFTER TODAY CONDITIONS WILL CALM DOWN AS SFC HIGH MOVES IN TONIGHT. SKIES WILL CLEAR...WINDS WILL DECREASE...AND THAT WILL ALLOW LOW TEMPS TO DROP TO 15 DEGREES. LEFT REST OF PREV FCST ALONE SINCE THERE WAS NOT MUCH TIME TO EXAMINE THESE PERIODS. HOWEVER WHAT I DID BRIEFLY SEE FROM THE AVN OUT TO 120 HRS SEEMED TO ARGUE IN FAVOR OF NO CHANGE TO THE LATTER PERIODS. THANKS TO ICT...EAX...AND LSX FOR COORDINATION THIS MORNING. .SGF...
