AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED TO INCLUDE LONG TERM DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
132 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005

.DISCUSSION...

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS THE MID MISSOURI REGION CONTINUES
TO REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY STATE WITH NEW UPDRAFTS FAVORING THE EASTERN
AND SOUTHWEST FLANKS. GIVEN EXISTING COLD POOL OVER THIS REGION FROM
EARLIER CONVECTION (SFC TEMPS IN THE MID 60S)...ELEVATED PULSE
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE WITH ONLY ISOLATED SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE.

MEANWHILE...OUTFLOW FROM THIS COMPLEX HAS LAID OUT ACROSS EXTREME
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI. MESONET OBSERVATIONS AND
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW THIS BOUNDARY IS VERY WELL
DEFINED...AND HAS BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY FROM PITTSBURG KANSAS TO
BRANSON...WHILE MAINTAINING A SE MOVEMENT FURTHER EAST ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI.

AIRMASS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO UNDERGO STRONG
DAYTIME HEATING WITH TEMPS NOW IN THE MID 80S...ALONG WITH IMPROVED
MOISTURE QUALITY WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID-UPPER 60S. 12Z
SPRINGFIELD SOUNDING SHOWS THAT MID LEVEL INVERSION FROM YESTERDAY
HAS BEEN EFFECTIVELY REMOVED...WITH MODIFIED PARCELS YIELDING AROUND
2000-2500 J/KG OF UNINHIBITED MLCAPE. STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER
CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...COUPLED WITH THE REMNANTS OF A
CONVECTIVE VORTEX MOVING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA WOULD SUPPORT
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER SW/SRN MO INTO SE KS THIS AFTERNOON.

UPPER LEVEL WINDS SHOULD BACK WITH REMNANT MCV MOVING INTO THE MO/AR
BORDER REGION...HOWEVER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS
RESULTING IN ONLY MINIMAL SHEAR. THUS STORMS SHOULD BE INTENSE...BUT
SHORT LIVED...WITH MARGINALLY SEVERE DOWNBURST WINDS AND HAIL
POSSIBLE.

.LONG TERM...

NW COAST UPPER LOW TO STEADILY DIG INTO THE SW US MAINTAINING THE
STEADY LOW LEVEL FETCH FROM THE GULF INTO THE OZARKS THROUGH THIS
WEEK END. WHILE CAP APPEARS TO BE ONLY MARGINAL...IT SHOULD STILL
LIMIT TSRA DEVELOPMENT TO ISOLATED DIURNAL STORMS UNTIL UPPER LOW
BREAKS DOWN AND JET DYNAMICS IMPROVE LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...WILL MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME. A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE THOUGH COVERAGE IS A QUESTION AS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM MORNING CONVECTION STILL IN THE AREA. THUS A
CHANCE OF CONVECTION NOTED IN SGF AND JLN TAFS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
GENERALLY THOUGH...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH BORDERLINE MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS.
