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.
