AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 905 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 .MESO-SCALE DISCUSSION...CLUSTERS OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. ACTIVITY CONTINUED TO BE CONCENTRATED IN THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION...AND HAD ALSO INCREASED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. TORRENTIAL RAINFALL ALONG WITH SOME SEVERE WINDS AND HAIL HAVE ACCOMPANIED THESE STORMS. SERIOUS FLOODING WAS TAKING PLACE IN NEOSHO IN FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. RADAR ESTIMATES OF 2 TO 5 INCHES HAD FALLEN FROM THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS TO JUST NORTH OF ROLLA IN CENTRAL MISSOURI WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS NEAR 7 INCHES IN NORTHERN CAMDEN COUNTY. A DIFFUSE SURFACE BOUNDARY APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME ORIENTED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS ARE LINING UP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA. SERIOUS FLOODING HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN NEOSHO IN FAR SOUTHWEST. THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OUT OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL BRING MORE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL TO THIS AREA. UPPER DIVERGENCE AND INCREASING WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE POTENT SHORTWAVE COMING ACROSS OKLAHOMA WILL INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY TO SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NIGHT. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE BUT FLOODING WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY CONCERN AS STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVE ACROSS THE SAME AREAS. THE STORMS MAY CONGEAL INTO A LINEAR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. .SGF... .MO...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. .KS...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. FOSTER
