Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 1:49 PM CST, 7 hours 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 249 PM CDT THU JUN 9 2005 .DISCUSSION... AIRMASS OVER MOST OF THE CWA HAS STABILIZED IN THE WAKE OF OUTFLOW FROM AN OVERNIGHT MCS THAT BROUGHT ANOTHER ROUND OF WELCOMED RAINFALL TO THE REGION. DEWPOINTS HAVE DROPPED MIDDLE 60S OVER ALL BUT FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI WITH A CU-LESS SKY NOTED ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. A DIFFERENT STORY TOWARD THE AR BORDER WHERE A HUMID AND INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINED IN THE VICINITY OF THE OLD GUST FRONT. SOUTHERLY WINDS WERE ADVECTING 70F DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE AREA WITH A VIGOROUS CU FIELD AND EVEN A FEW CELLS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP. SLOW MOVING PULSE STORMS WILL BE THE CONVECTIVE MODE WITH ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES MANAGE TO OVERCOME THE OVERALL LACK OF FORCING IN THE AREA. FOR THIS EVENING...WILL GO WITH A 30 POP BASED ON SCATTERED COVERAGE GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-44 (FIGURING NORTHWARD ADVECTION OF HIGHER THETA-E IS LIKELY GIVEN 15-20 KNOTS OF SOUTHERLY FLOW THIS AFTERNOON). ANY STORMS SHOULD GRADUALLY DISSIPATE BY MID EVENING. BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW WILL CONTINUE A VERY DIFFICULT FORECAST ON THE MESOSCALE OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS AS SUBTLE SHORTWAVES IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR STRONGER/SEVERE CONVECTION WITH FOCI BEING AN UNKNOWN NUMBER AND LAYOUT OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM PRIOR CONVECTION. WITH THAT SAID...LOW CHANCE POPS (HIGHEST AFTERNOON/EVENING) CERTAINLY WARRANTED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS GIVEN UNCERTAINTY AND LARGE MODEL DISPARITY WITH SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL MASS FIELDS. AT THIS TIME...SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING APPEARS TO BE THE BEST SHOT OF SEVERE WEATHER OF WRN MO/SE KS AS A FAIRLY POTENT NEGATIVE TILT UPPER TROUGH IS PROGGED TO SWING ACROSS THE PLAINS. STILL EXPECTING T.S. ARLENES PRESENCE TO ALTER THE SCENARIO AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK...AND WILL MAINTAIN YESTERDAYS THINKING THAT MOST LIKELY TRACK WOULD RESULT IN LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE OVER THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. NEGLECTING MESOSCALE EFFECTS ON PRECIP/CLOUD COVER...HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 80S AND LOWS IN THE MID-UPPER 60S GENERALLY LOOK ON TRACK THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ALONG THE ARKANSAS BORDER...BUT EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO REMAIN SOUTH OF JOPLIN AND SPRINGFIELD FOR NOW. SCATTERED CUMULUS OF 3000 TO 4000 FEET WILL SLOWLY ADVECT BACK INTO THE KSGF TERMINAL AREA AFTER 21Z THROUGH SUNSET...WITH VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING. SOUTHEAST WINDS AROUND 15 KNOTS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. BOOKBINDER
