AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 335 AM CDT TUE SEP 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN U.S. CONTINUES TO SPREAD EAST...WITH 500MB HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND UPPER MIDWEST. WHILE THE MOST OBVIOUS UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE AREA...JET STREAK OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST EAST OF THE UPPER TROUGH...WILL COMBINE WITH A SUBTROPICAL JET THAT HAS ALREADY MOVED ONSHORE OVER SOUTHERN CA...TO BRIEFLY PRODUCE ENHANCED LIFT TONIGHT WHERE A COUPLED JET AND STRONGLY DIFFLUENT UPPER FLOW SETS UP OVER THE REGION. WHILE UPPER FEATURES BECOME ALIGNED FOR STRONG LIFT TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT THAT NOW EXTENDS FROM MN TO WESTERN KS...WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SLOWLY EAST....MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT...BEFORE BECOMING A WEST-EAST STATIONARY BOUNDARY ALONG THE RED RIVER VLY TO THE LOWER MS VLY LATE IN THE WEEK. THE GFS IS DOING THE USUAL CONVECTIVE BULLSEYE ROUTINE FOR TONIGHT...BUT BELIEVE THE ETA MAY BE A LITTLE UNDERDONE WITH ITS PRECIP FIELDS AS WELL. ATTEMPTED TO FOLLOW FAIRLY CLOSE TO HPC QPF GUIDANCE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WHILE MOISTURE ADVECTION IS ALREADY INCREASING OVER OK/KS ATTM WHERE THE LOW LEVEL JET HAS SET UP...AND WILL INCREASE OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AS THE JET VEERS...DONT HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE AS TO WHERE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR TONIGHT. SYNOPTICALLY...BEST LIFT/LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL OCCUR ALONG THE SFC/850MB FRONTAL SLOPE FROM EASTERN OK INTO SOUTHERN MO TONIGHT. FRONT WILL BRIEFLY BECOME PARALLEL WITH THE MIDLEVEL FLOW...POSSIBLY SETTING UP SOME STORM TRAINING/LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. WILDCARD WILL BE HOW CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONT TODAY INFLUENCES THE MESOSCALE ENVIRONMENT/BOUNDARIES LATE TODAY THIS EVENING. WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING 90 DEG F IN MOST AREAS AGAIN TODAY...INSTABILITY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERE STORMS HEAD OF THE FRONT. STORMS MAY ORGANIZE INTO AN MCS ALONG THE FRONT AS IT PUSHES INTO THE AREA. GIVEN THAT WE HAVE BEEN DRY RECENTLY...AND THE UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR...WILL NOT GO WITH A BLANKET FLOOD WATCH. SURFACE FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY...BUT AN ACTIVE UPPER FLOW PATTERN...AND 850MB FRONT OVER SOUTHERN MO WILL ALLOW ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF CONVECTION TO OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. WILL MAINTAIN FAIRLY DECENT RAIN CHANCES ALONG THE AR BORDER THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...AND TAPER THEM OFF INTO CENTRAL MO. RAIN SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS FLAT UPPER RIDGE MOVES INTO THE AREA...AND SURFACE FRONT GET PUSHED A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE ARKLATEX REGION. NO CHANGES WERE MADE IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS. DSA && .AVIATION... EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH 00Z AT THE KJLN AND KSGF TAF SITES. WHILE SOME HAZE MAY DEVELOP DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS...VISIBILITIES SHOULD STAY ABOVE 5SM. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT LOOKS TO TIGHTEN UP DURING THE MORNING HOURS...WHICH WILL ALLOW WINDS TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. ETA BUFKIT DATA INDICATES POTENTIAL GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 20KTS FROM MID-MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY EVENING...SYNOPTIC SCALE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SLACKENS JUST AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE TRIGGERED ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. STILL SOME QUESTION WITH THE TIMING OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THEREFORE...FOR NOW ADDED BROKEN CB GIGS AT 4000 FEET TOWARD 00Z. LATER FORECASTS WILL BETTER PIN DOWN THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD CONVECTION WILL AFFECT THE TERMINAL SITES. SAW && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
