NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 4, 5:46 AM CST, 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 646 AM CDT SAT JUN 4 2005 .AVIATION... FOR THE 12Z TAFS...MOST OF THE MORNING CONVECTION APPEARS LIKELY TO REMAIN NORTH OF BOTH TERMINALS...HOWEVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND POSSIBLY A SHOWER COULD AFFECT THE TERMINALS. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS MENTIONED IN PUBLIC DISCUSSION BELOW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXPLODE IN KS THIS AFTERNOON AND COULD MAKE IT INTO JLN AREA BY MID/LATE EVENING. DAY SHIFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PINPOINT TIMING A BIT BETTER AND WILL ALLOW THEM TO ADD THUNDER TO JLN. IZZI && .DISCUSSION... APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE AFD...LOTS TO EXAMINE THIS BUSY MORNING. THE STRING OF CHALLENGING FORECASTS CONTINUES. THE RAIN SHIELDS CONTINUE TO HOLD STRONG FOR SPRINGFIELD AND POINTS EASTWARD. IN THE PAST 20 DAYS THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE DAY WITH MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION...AND THAT ONE DAY WE ONLY HAD 0.07. UNFORTUNATELY RAIN CHANCES FOR SPRINGFIELD AND POINTS EASTWARD REALLY DONT LOOK ALL THAT EXCITING...THOUGH THEY ARENT ZERO SO THERE IS SOME HOPE. FOR TODAY...WEAKENING SHORTWAVE OVER NE KS/EASTERN NEBRASKA WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD AND AWAY FROM THE AREA. SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW HAS KEPT THE CIRRUS BLOW OFF GENERALLY NORTH OF THE CONVECTION AND THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE. SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS BEEN FIRING OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING...LIKELY NEAR THE 925MB FRONT JUDGING BY REGIONAL PROFILER DATA. WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THIS CONVECTION WILL LIKELY CLIP OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES THIS MORNING BUT SHOULD GENERALLY BE DIMINISHING. WE SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN CONVECTION AROUND MIDDAY INTO THE AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL JET WEAKENS. THIS CONVECTION COULD LEAVE BEHIND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD FIRE ALONG THAT LATE THIS AFTERNOON SO KEPT SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING NORTH OF 44 LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BY LATE AFTERNOON...ALL EYES WILL LIKELY BECOME FOCUSED TO THE WEST AS A UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LOW OVER COLORADO EARLY THIS MORNING MOVES INTO THE PLAINS. SHARPENING TROUGH/DRY LINE WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCUS FOR EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS NEAR 70F DEWPOINTS ARE ADVECTED NORTHWARD BENEATH VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. SPEED MAX ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL LEAD TO VERY STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH CONVECTIVE INITIATION WILL TAKE PLACE WELL WEST OF THE SGF CWA...WITH SUPERCELLS MOVING EASTWARD TOWARD THE AREA. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL PARAMETERS APPEAR TO BE COMING TOGETHER FOR A SIGNIFICANT SVR WX EPISODE IN OUR WESTERN CWA THIS EVENING...THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLICATING FACTORS AS WELL. FIRST...AMPLE SUNSHINE TODAY SHOULD ALLOW FOR HIGHS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S...WITH ONLY A GRADUAL FALL IN TEMPS THIS EVENING. THIS WILL LEAD TO LARGE TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR COLD REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFTS WHICH WOULD BE UNFAVORABLE FOR A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO THREAT. ALSO...THE SUNSHINE SHOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR DEEP MIXING WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME OF THE SURFACE MOISTURE TO MIX OUT THIS AFTERNOON. NEXT...VERY LOW SOIL MOISTURE CONTENT MAY ALSO CUT DOWN ON SURFACE MOISTURE AND SUBSEQUENT INSTABILITY OVER ALL BUT FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. FINALLY...RIGHT MOVING SUPERCELLS WILL LIKELY MOVE ENE AT ABOUT 20KT...SO SOURCE REGION FOR CONVECTION OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WILL BE JUST EAST/SOUTHEAST OF OKC. THAT IS A LONG TREK FOR THOSE STORMS TO MAKE AND THEY PROBABLY WOULDNT ARRIVE UNTIL WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND BY THEN THERE MAY NOT BE MUCH LEFT TO THEM. WILL FOCUS THE SVR POTENTIAL IN THE MORNING HWO OVER FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH HAIL/WIND THE PRIMARY THREATS...THOUGH THE TORNADO THREAT IS NOT ZERO. SURFACE TROUGH IS THEN FORECAST TO LAY OUT ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG THE BOUNDARY. MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY SHOULD BE PRESENT...HOWEVER THERE DOESNT APPEAR TO BE A STRONG SHORT WAVE COMING THROUGH AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR PROFILES WOULD ONLY SUPPORT MULTICELLULAR CONVECTION. NO TIME TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OR EVEN LOOK AT MUCH BEYOND SUNDAY THIS MORNING. IZZI && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR VERNON COUNTY THROUGH THIS MORNING. .KS...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR BOURBON...CHEROKEE AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES THROUGH THIS MORNING.
