Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 9:58 AM CST, 2 hours 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1058 AM CDT SUN APR 6 2003 WILL BE MAKING SOME SHORT TERM ADJUSTMENTS...MAINLY TO TEMPERATURES. ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LOTS OF PEA TO PENNY HAIL OCCURRING OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS AN MCS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. HAD REPORTS EARLIER OF WET SNOW...ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL MO...AND EVEN ONE REPORT IN SGF WITH A HEAVY SHOWER. WET SNOW MAY OCCUR IN CENTRAL MO THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT WARM AIR ADVECTION SHOULD OVERCOME COLD AIR AS THE DAY WEARS ON...SO THIS IS NOT MUCH OF A CONCERN. QUICK LOOK AT NEW MESO ETA INDICATES THAT A NARROW AXIS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL TRY TO SURGE NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE THAT NOW EXTENDS FROM WESTERN OK INTO CENTRAL TX. A LOT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER AS TO HOW MUCH SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY CAN OCCUR...BUT ETA DEPICTS DEWPOINTS SURGING WELL INTO THE 50S IN A NARROW CORRIDOR OVER EXTREME SW MO AND SE KS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE/COLD FRONT. GIVEN 0-3KM SHEAR...WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE NEAR SURFACE BASED SUPERCELLS IN OUR SW COUNTIES ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF A LINE OF STORMS THAT WILL DEVELOP LATER TODAY ALONG THE DRY LINE/COLD FRONT...BUT AGAIN IT IS HIGHLY CONDITIONAL BASED ON CLOUD COVER/SURFACE HEATING. PRELIMINARY EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION...EXTENDED PERIODS ARE QUIET. UNSEASONABLY COLD NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MON NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT. LOWS IN THE MID 20S POSSIBLE TUE NIGHT/WED WITH SFC RIDGE NEAR OR JUST WEST OF THE AREA AND LITTLE CLOUD COVER..AND 1000-500MB THICKNESS VALUES OF 5300M PROGGED BY THE 00Z GFS. WARMING TREND WILL OCCUR LATE IN THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND WITH MIDLEVEL HEIGHT RISES. WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES SUNDAY ON PRELIMINARY GRIDDED FORECAST WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. ...SGF... MO...NONE KS...NONE DSA

ADDTIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA ALONG A COLD FRONT/DRY LINE AND SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. GIVEN THE UPPER AIR WIND PROFILE...SUPERCELL STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPMENT WILL BE CONDITIONAL BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF SURFACE HEATING THAT WILL BE PRESENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
