AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION SECTION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 703 AM CDT FRI APR 22 2005 .DISCUSSION... ...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION 227 AM... A COLD FRONT HAS SUCCESSFULLY PROGRESSED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS MORNING LEAVING COOLER AIR AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES IN ITS WAKE. A ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRED LAST NIGHT AS HAIL WAS THE PRIMARY SEVERE ELEMENT. A FEW UNCONFIRMED REPORTS OF TORNADOES CAME INTO THE OFFICE LATE THIS EVENING. SO FAR NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN RELAYED TO THE OFFICE AND DAY CREWS WILL FURTHER INVESTIGATE THESE REPORTS THIS MORNING. KEPT ONGOING PRECIPITATION CHANCES IN FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL COLD CORE. STRONG LOCAL RISES IN POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE SURFACES ALONG WITH SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE MAY GIVE WAY FOR SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI WHERE THIS AREA WILL BE POSITIONED CLOSER TO THE LOW TRACK. OTHERWISE ANY PRECIPITATION THAT DEVELOPS WILL LIKELY MOVE OUT OF THE CWA PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND NORTHERLY BREEZES ARE ON TAP FOR THIS WEEKEND AS AFTERNOON HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED TO THE 50S OVER MOST LOCATIONS. THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS ALL THREE MOS GUIDANCES ARE ADVERTISING TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 20S. THIS WILL POSE A BIG PROBLEM TO LOCAL FRUIT GROWERS AND GARDENERS. THE READINGS LOOK REASONABLE GIVEN THE COLD AND DRY AIRMASS SHIFTING INTO THE NATIONS MID SECTION FROM CANADA. THE ONE FACTOR THAT MAY WORK AGAINST TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 20S WOULD BE PERSISTENT NORTHWEST WINDS. THE AREA WILL BE POSITIONED EAST OF THE SURFACE HIGH GIVING WAY TO A MODEST PRESSURE GRADIENT WHICH MAY KEEP THE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXED AND SLIGHTLY WARMER. JUST TO GIVE AREA INTERESTS A HEADS UP...ILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FREEZE WATCH FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. RETURN FLOW SETS BACK UP BY MONDAY IN ADVANCE OF A BROAD SURFACE TROUGH THAT WILL SET UP FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO THE HIGH PLAINS OF TEXAS. LOOK FOR PRECIP CHANCES MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS THE TROUGH/COLD FRONT NEARS THE REGION. LONG WAVE TROUGHING OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CONUS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH THE REST OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS. NO MAJOR STORM SYSTEMS ARE IN THE OFFING THROUGH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. CRAMER && .AVIATION... A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TODAY BETWEEN THE EXITING SFC SYSTEM OVER SOUTHERN IL EARLY THIS MORNING AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS. WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF AROUND 30 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER SE KS/WESTERN MO FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LOW ALONG THE EAST CENTRAL KS/WEST CENTRAL MO BORDER WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH CENTRAL MO TODAY.
