AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1255 PM CDT FRI AUG 25 2006 .DISCUSSION.. ANOTHER UPDATE TO THE GRIDS WAS PERFORMED TO LOWER HIGH TEMPS... PARTICULARLY OVER THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWFA AND ACCOUNT FOR HOURLY TRENDS IN T/TD/WINDS. A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE NATURE OF CLOUD COVER AND RAIN SO FAR TODAY...SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY ISOLATED. STORMS WILL REMAIN MOST NUMEROUS OVER CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. A BREAK IN THE OVERCAST OVER SE KS/FAR W MO WILL ALLOW FOR ADDTL SCT TSRA DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE BEST INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE CONFINED TO FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AND NEAR THE MO/KS BORDER. THIS WILL BE THE AREA WHERE A FEW SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WITH WIND SHEAR ON THE WEAK SIDE AND FREEZING/WET BULB LEVELS IN THE 12-14KFT RANGE...HAIL WONT BE AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE. LIGHTNING WILL CONTINUE TO BE IMPRESSIVE AND ON THE FREQUENT SIDE. RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY...BUT MORE WELCOME THAN HAZARDOUS TODAY. GAGAN && .PREV DISCUSSION.../741 AM CDT FRI AUG 25/ HAVE MADE SOME FIRST PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE FOR ONGOING THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX. INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY OVER MANY AREAS. LOW LEVEL JET HAS VEERED AND ALLOWED ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS MORE NOTICEABLE WITHIN AN AREA OF HIGHER INSTABILITY WHERE HIGH LEVELS OF MID LEVEL R.H. WAS SHIFTING IN FROM THE WEST. CAPE VALUES ARE JUST UNDER LEVELS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS...HOWEVER STRONG STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED WITHIN THE COMPLEX AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE CLOSELY FOR MICROBURST POTENTIAL. THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS HEATING OCCURS. 12Z RAOB HAS SHOWN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN MID LEVEL MOISTURE...ULTIMATELY STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SOME. AREAS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO SUN THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY ACQUIRE 2000-3000 J/KG OF ML CAPE. THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS WITH MICROBURSTS BEING THE MAIN HAZARD. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES AS THIS ONGOING WEATHER SITUATION UNFOLDS. && .AVIATION... FOR THE 1800 UTC TAFS...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH IFR VISIBILITIES AND MVFR CIGS LIKELY WITH THE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. AFTER THE SHRA/TSRA END EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WE SHOULD SEE A BREAK WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND MORE LIKELY INTO SATURDAY MORNING...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION OF DEVELOPMENT LATER TONIGHT IS LOW ENOUGH TO KEEP CONDITIONS VFR TOMORROW MORNING FOR NOW.
