Area forecast discussion, May 22, 5:45 PM CST, 5 hours 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...AVIATION UPDATE. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 645 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2005 .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERN DEALS WITH CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THE SHORT-TERM. CURRENTLY ONE ISOLATED AREA OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. OTHERWISE...WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING GOING DUE TO A CAP ACROSS THE AREA. MODIFIED 12Z SGF SOUNDING FOR THE EXPECTED MOST UNSTABLE CONDITIONS (SFC CONDITIONS...TEMP 88/ DEWPOINT 70) YIELDS MLCAPES OF AROUND 2000 J/KG BUT CONTINUES TO SHOW CIN OF -120 J/KG. COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI. EVEN THOUGH DEWPOINTS ARE STILL IN THE 60S BEHIND THE FRONT...A STRATUS DECK HAS FORMED...LIMITING INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT IN THIS AREA. BEST CHANCE FOR INITIATION WILL BE ALONG THE ARKANSAS BORDER. THE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND ADDITIONAL HEATING MAY BE ENOUGH TO TOUCH OFF STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. IF STORMS DO DEVELOP SOME WOULD LIKELY REACH SEVERE LEVELS AS INSTABILITY WILL BE SUFFICIENT...AND 0-6 KM SHEAR WILL RANGE FROM 35 TO 40 KTS. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF INITIATION TRENDED POPS FROM NEAR 50 ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...TO A DRY FORECAST ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE ON WATER VAPOR ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL TRACK TOWARDS THE PLAINS TONIGHT. MODELS DONT HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS FEATURE...BUT THE NAM SHOWS A DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL JET PRODUCING STRONG 850-750MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND THETA-E ADVECTION ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT. IN ADDITION...THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT COMMENCING OVER THE BOUNDARY. THE JET WILL VEER TOWARDS THE REGION TOWARD DAWN AND WEAKEN. THE AFOREMENTIONED PATTERN COULD INITIATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...AND SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA VERY LATE TONIGHT. WITH THIS IN MIND...KEPT POPS GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN CWA...ALSO ADDED 30 TO 40 POPS MONDAY MORNING FOR ANY LINGERING ACTIVITY GENERALLY SOUTH OF A PITTSBURG KANSAS TO AVA MISSOURI LINE. NOT MANY CHANGES TO THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE AREA WILL STAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHWEST FLOW. STILL KEPT 30 POPS GOING FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK FRONT PUSHES INTO THE OZARKS REGION. AT THIS TIME...WILL GO DRY WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AS THE BETTER MOISTURE WILL BE PUSHED SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE MID-WEEK FRONTAL PASSAGE. SAW && .AVIATION... FOR 00Z...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL ONLY A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THE JLN/SGF TERMINAL FORECAST OVERNIGHT. IF THUNDERSTORMS DO DEVELOP...JLN WILL HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR VISIBILITIES IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION MONDAY...DIMINISHING ANY CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. JLT && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
