Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 5:45 PM CST, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...AVIATION UPDATE. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 645 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION 3 PM... ...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. SHORT TERM... WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED CHANCE POPS FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA IN THIS EVENINGS PERIOD. RESIDUAL SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM THIS AFTERNOONS DEVELOPMENT WILL TRACK NORTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING. IT ALSO APPEARS AS THOUGH THE MCV OVER NW ARKANSAS WILL TRACK ACROSS THIS REGION AS WELL WHICH WOULD AID IN FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOISTURE AND HEAT INTO THE REGION TOMORROW. ETA PWATS INCREASE TO 1.5 INCHES INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AS INSTABILITY INCREASES...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AT RANDOM. THEREFORE I INTRODUCED SLIGHT POPS FOR TUESDAYS DAYTIME PERIOD. LOOK FOR MAX TEMPERATURES CONSISTENTLY IN THE UPPER 80S/LOW 90S...AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. 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. BOOKBINDER/RUNNELS && .AVIATION... FOR 00Z TAFS...NO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH TAFS. THERE IS ONLY AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM NEAR KSGF THROUGH 2Z. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. JLT && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
