Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:03 PM CST, 4 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 303 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2003 VERY ACTIVE AFTERNOON SETTING UP WITH STORMS ALREADY DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. STILL HAVE A CAP BUT SURFACE FRONT MOVING INTO THE REGION AND OUTFLOW FROM CURRENT STORMS SHOULD ERODE IT AND INTERACT WITH EXTREME INSTABILITY OVER THE FORECAST AREA. STILL LOOKS LIKE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND FINALLY MOVE THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS OUT OF THE REGION. TEMPS TOMORROW STILL LOOK ABOUT 10 DEGREES COOLER TODAY...WHICH IS STILL HANDLED WELL IN FORECAST. .IN THE EXTENDED...THERE IS MUCH DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND THE GFS. CONSENSUS IS THAT GFS SOLUTION IS TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH NEXT UPPER TROUGH IT DEVELOPS DURING MID WEEK...WHILE THE ECMWF HOLDS OFF ON DEVELOPING A TROUGH UNTIL FRIDAY. BOTH DO SHOW A SURFACE FRONT MEANDERING TO OUR SOUTH. DONT WANT TO TOTALLY FLIP FLOP THE FORECAST...SO MAIN ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN TO PUSH POPS BACK TO EARLY WEDNESDAY AND EXTEND THEM THROUGH FRIDAY. .SGF... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. TERRY WILL LEAVE EARLIER MESOSCALE DISCUSSION ATTACHED... .MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION (FROM PREVIOUS AFD)... ...POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION DEVELOPING... SGF 18Z SOUNDING SHOWS THE CAP HAS STRENGTHENED A BIT AT AROUND 750MB...HOWEVER IT WILL LIKELY NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT CONVECTION. CAP MAY ACTUALLY LEAD THUNDERSTORMS REMAINING MORE CELLULAR FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME AND AREA RADARS SHOW THE UPDRAFTS STILL CHOKING A BIT AND HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE SUSTAINING THEMSELVES. AS VERY STRONG FORCING CONTINUES ALONG THE DRYLINE WOULD EXPECT THE UVVS TO WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY OVERCOME THE CAP WITH UPDRAFTS BECOMING MORE SUSTAINED AS THEY WORK INTO OUR CWA. ATTM WOULD EXPECT CONVECTION TO REMAIN MORE CELLULAR IN NATURE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 2 HOURS...WITH ANY SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS LIKELY ROTATING WITH A TORNADO POTENTIAL. GIVEN THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND LIKELY VERY FAST STORM MOTION...AREA MEDIA OUTLETS ARE URGED TO EXPRESS THE URGENCY AND FAST DEVELOPING NATURE OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .SGF... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. IZZI
