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.

  WILL BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH HAIL AND DAMAGING DOWNBURST
  WINDS POSSIBLE. THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER
  SUNSET.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

  BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL
  DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY.
  INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG TO
