AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 640 AM CDT MON JUL 10 2006 .UPDATE... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS FROM EASTERN KANSAS TO THE EASTERN OZARKS AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERED. THE CONVECTION DEVELOPED ALONG AN AXIS OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND THETA-E ADVECTION. THIS ACTIVITY WILL TRANSITION GRADUALLY EASTWARD PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. RAIN POTENTIAL HAS DIMINISHED ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI THIS MORNING AND WILL ADJUST FORECAST GRIDS BASED ON RADAR TRENDS. FOSTER && .DISCUSSION... A LARGE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER WAS TRACKING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS EARLY MONDAY IN ADVANCE OF A SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF THE HIGH PLAINS. CLOUD TOPS HAD WARMED AND LIGHTNING DECREASED HAVE DECREASED SINCE 06Z. CONVECTION WAS YET TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE OZARKS REGION. HOWEVER RUC MODEL ANALYSIS SHOWED 850 MB INSTABILITY INCREASING FROM SOUTHERN KANSAS TO NORTHERN ARKANSAS COINCIDING WITH AN AXIS OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. THE LOWER ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN HAS MOISTENED CONSIDERABLY OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.8 ON THE 00Z SGF SOUNDING. ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND THETA-E ADVECTION WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE SHORTWAVE TO THE WEST TRANSLATES EAST NORTHEAST. WITH DEEP MOISTURE NOW IN PLACE...ELEVATED CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP DURING THE MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET BECOMES ESTABLISHED THEN VEERS. 850 DEWPOINTS IN EXCESS OF 15 DEGREES AND DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER WILL SUPPORT EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION DURING THE DAY DUE TO CONVECTIVE DEBRIS. IT APPEARS THE AIRMASS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY RECOVER OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON AS MORNING CONVECTION PUSHES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. ANY SUNSHINE WILL QUICKLY WARM THE BOUNDARY LAYER WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS APPROACH 70 DEGRES. THIS WOULD YIELD SURFACE BASED CAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG. WHILE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL NOT BE IMPRESSIVE IT COULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL STORMS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM. ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE LIFTS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND A SURFACE BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTHWARD INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS. CONVECTION WILL BE ENHANCED OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. THE NOSE OF THIS JET AND RESULTANT MASS CONVERGENCE IS PROGGED TO BE FOCUSED SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. MODELS DIFFER ON THE FRONTAL PROGRESSION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE SHORTWAVE EXITS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE WRF MODEL SOLUTION WHICH STALLS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY TO OUR WEST. VERY MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS COUPLED WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD SUPPORT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONGER SURFACE HEATING TUESDAY THUS MORE UNSTABLE. HOWEVER SHEAR PROFILES ARE PROGGED TO BE RATHER WEAK. THE CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY BUT WITH LESSER COVERAGE DUE TO THE LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. THE GFS AND WRF MODELS IN AGREEMENT IN BRINGING ANOTHER SHORTWAVE INTO THE REGION THURSDAY. UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM SO JUST HAVE LOW RAIN CHANCES GOING FOR THURSDAY. AN UPPER RIDGE IS PROGGED TO BUILD OVER THE REGION LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BRINGING A PERIOD OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TYPICAL OF MID SUMMER. FOSTER && .AVIATION... BROKEN TO OVERCAST VFR CEILINGS ALONG WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH TONIGHT.
