Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 5:10 PM CST, 1 hour 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 610 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 .MESO-SCALE DISCUSSION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO TRAIN ACROSS THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL INTENSITY HAD DIMINISHED...FLOODING WILL BE AN INCREASING THREAT WITH ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. RADAR ESTIMATES THAT 2 TO 4 INCHES HAD FALLEN FROM THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS TO JUST NORTH OF ROLLA WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS NEAR 5 INCHES IN NORTHERN CAMDEN COUNTY. THIS AREA OF STORMS BEING ENHANCED UNDER UPPER DIFFLUENCE AHEAD OF THE CLEARLY DEFINED SHORTWAVE WAS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS OKLAHOMA. A SURFACE BOUNDARY HAD STALLED FROM CENTRAL MISSOURI TO SOUTHEAST KANSAS UNDERNEATH THE DEVELOPING DEFORMATION ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH. FOCUS OF NEW CONVECTION LAST COUPLE OF HOURS HAS BEEN ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS FRONT ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS...AND ALSO OVER NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA UNDER MID LEVEL COLD POOL. STORMS ALSO INCREASING ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ON THE NOSE OF MID LEVEL DRY SLOT AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES. 0-6KM WIND SHEAR WAS A LITTLE STRONGER ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WITH SPEEDS NEAR 40KTS. THIS MAY SUPPORT ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND AN INCREASED SEVERE THREAT. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO SPREAD INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. STORMS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT MAY CONGEAL INTO A LINEAR MCS OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AND INTERSECTS THE BOUNDARY. THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WOULD THEN SAG SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. FLOODING WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT SOME ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. .SGF... .MO...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. .KS...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT.
