NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 16, 2:56 PM CST, 19 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 256 PM CST THU FEB 16 2006 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION HAS FIRED UP IN A TYPICAL WINTER SEVERE HIGH SHEAR/LOW INSTABILITY ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE MO OZARKS. MUCAPES ABOUT 500 J/KG AHEAD OF THE FRONT. 0-1KM SHEAR INCREASES OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS TO 250-300 M2/S2. LOW TOPPED SUPERCELL THREAT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE WITH DISCRETE CELLS AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST. HAVE HAD REPORTS OF PEA-DIME HAIL...BUT INDIVIDUAL UPDRAFTS ARE GETTING STRONGER AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST. WOULD EXPECT STORMS TO TRY TO ORGANIZE INTO A LINE ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH AN INCREASING DAMAGING WIND THREAT. THERE IS A BIG TEMPERATURE DROP BEHIND THE FRONT...AND DIDNT STRAY TO FAR FROM TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE. WIND CHILLS WILL DROP TO NEAR ZERO DEG F OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. STRONG ELEVATED BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL SET UP OVER THE REGION. A SERIES OF SUBTLE SHORTWAVES WILL ENHANCE ISENTROPIC LIFT UP AND OVER THE COLD AIR DOME. THE QUESTION CONTINUES TO BE HOW WELL WILL PRECIPITATION BE ABLE TO SATURATE THE EXTREMELY DRY LOWER LEVELS. THE OVERALL BEST CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW LOOK TO BE OVER SOUTHERN MO...MAINLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 60...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE AR BORDER. OVERALL...I FOLLOWED A BLEND OF HPC QPF AND MODEL GUIDANCE. SNOW ACCUMULATION IN THE GRIDDED DATABASE IS ABOUT 2 INCHES FRIDAY NIGHT. GIVEN HOW DRY THE LOW LEVELS ARE...THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE SNOW SHOULD END FAIRLY ABRUPTLY. NEXT SHIFTS STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS UNFOLDING SITUATION. THE GFS PROGS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT. ONCE AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE ALONG THE AR BORDER. THE EXTENDED FORECAST AFTER EARLY MONDAY IS DRY WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES. GFS INDICATES THAT THE ZONAL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED BY WED-THU WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR POSSIBLE BY LATE THU. GFS PAINTS A POSSIBLE RAIN-SNOW EVENT THU BUT THERE IS A WIDE MARGIN FOR ERROR THAT FAR OUT IN THE EXTENDED...ESPECIALLY IN A TRANSITIONING PATTERN. DSA && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...FORECAST CONCERNS WITH THIS PACKAGE RELATE TO WINDS AND CEILINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. FRONT CURRENTLY POSITIONED JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF KJLN. FRONT SHOULD PUSH THROUGH KJLN AROUND 19Z AND KSGF AROUND 22Z. LOWERED CEILINGS TO OVC015 AT BOTH TERMINALS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE. AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH THIS EVENING...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN BETWEEN 03-06Z TONIGHT. GAEDE && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO SGF

THE OVERALL BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS...SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM BRANSON TO ROLLA. INITIALLY...INDIVIDUAL STORMS MAY POSE A RISK FOR SMALL HAIL...BUT AS THE STORMS MOVE EAST THEY ARE EXPECTED TO FORM INTO A LINE...OR AT LEAST A BROKEN LINE...WHICH MAY POSE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS AFTER 3 PM. GIVEN THE WIND SHEAR PROFILES...THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AFTER 3 PM. THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EXIT EAST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA BY 8 PM.
