Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 2:00 PM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 200 PM CST THU MAR 30 2006 ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS EVENING... .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERN DEALS WITH ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS...AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. MINOR CONCERNS DEAL WITH LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI FRIDAY MORNING...AND ADDITIONAL CONVECTION DEVELOPING LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS CONTINUE TO LOOK IMPRESSIVE IN TERMS OF A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE INSTABILITY DECREASES. HOWEVER...ENOUGH WIND ENERGY WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THE THREAT OF WIND AND HAIL DAMAGE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS. SURFACE AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO EXPAND NORTHWARD ACROSS THE OZARKS WITH A SURFACE DRY LINE PROGRESSING EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND CENTRAL KANSAS AS OF 130 PM. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DOES SHOW UNSTABLE ROLL CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION WITH MANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS WESTERN MISSOURI. TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY RISEN INTO THE MID 70S WHERE THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE HAS OCCURRED. LATEST RUC INDICATED A BROAD AREA OF CONVECTION ACROSS FAR EASTERN KANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE ACTIVITY MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE OZARKS DURING THE EVENING. NAM/GFS ARE SIMILAR IN A LINEAR LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. CONCERNS AFTER MIDNIGHT DEAL WITH THE AMOUNT OF RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SURFACE COLD FRONT/DRY LINE LOCATION. BOTH THE NAM/GFS ARE SHOWING MORE OF A SOUTHWEST/WEST SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS MOST OF THE OZARKS (MAINLY SOUTH OF I-44) THROUGH 12Z...THEN HOLD A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION (BOUNDARY) ACROSS FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI BETWEEN 12-18Z FRIDAY. DUE TO THE MAIN WESTERLY/NORTHWESTERLY SYNOPTIC SCALE WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI AND THE OZARK PLATEAU PLAYING SOMEWHAT OF A FACTOR...BELIEVE RESIDUAL MOISTURE (SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE) WILL RESIDE ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI BEFORE THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...HAVE ADDED SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI DURING THE FRIDAY MORNING PERIOD. NO THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AFTER 12Z AS THE MAIN INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY HAVE MOVED EASTWARD. HPC GUIDANCE AND THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GFS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST RELATIVELY UNCHANGED WITH ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...AND INTO SUNDAY. WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM AFFECTING THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY... TIMING CONCERNS REMAIN A PROBLEM...BUT OVERALL THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL REMAIN IN A PROGRESSIVE AND UNSETTLED PATTERN THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. JLT && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...WILL CARRY MVRF CEILINGS AND VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON PERIOD. AMENDMENTS WILL LIKELY BE MADE THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED TO OUR WEST AS DRYLINE ADVECTS EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN KS. MAIN THUNDER THREAD IS EXPECTED TO END FOR JLN/SGF AFTER 06Z...WITH CEILINGS LIFTING TO VFR AND GRADUALLY UNLIMITED AFTER 15Z FRIDAY. TERRY && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
