Area forecast discussion, May 24, 5:30 PM CST, 0 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 630 PM CDT WED MAY 24 2006 .UPDATE... ISOLATED STORMS HAD DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AT LATE AFTERNOON. SURFACE BASED CAPES AT 23Z REMAINED NEAR 3500 J/KG PROVIDING MORE THAN AMPLE INSTABILITY. LACK OF UPPER FORCING AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE HAD PLAYED A LIMITING FACTOR TO THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. HOWEVER ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING AS A VORTICITY LOBE SAGS INTO THE AREA. ADEQUATE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR NEAR AROUND 30 KTS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE MISSOURI OZARKS THROUGH 1 AM. FORECAST GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT LATEST CONVECTIVE TRENDS. FOSTER && .DISCUSSION... AXIS OF STRONG INSTABILITY WITH WEAKENING INHIBITION IS SETTING UP FROM SE KS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CONWAY AND NEODESHA PROFILERS SHOW 6KM WINDS OF 35-45KT ACROSS THE AREA WHICH IS LEADING TO 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES APPROACHING 35KT. GIVEN THE STRONG INSTABILITY IN PLACE THE STAGE SEEMS TO BE SET FOR SEVERE MULTICELLULAR CONVECTION TO RAPIDLY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR LOOSELY ORGANIZED SUPERCELLS WHICH WOULD ONLY MAGNIFY THE WIND/HAIL POTENTIAL. GREATEST SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY REMAIN NORTH OF I44 WHERE ATMOSPHERE HAS HAD THE MOST TIME TO RECOVER...HOWEVER WITH HOURS OF HEATING TO GO REMAINDER OF THE CWA STILL HAS TIME TO DESTABILIZE. CONVECTION WILL PROBABLY BEGIN TO WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET GIVEN THE RELATIVELY WEAK FORCING ALONG THE FRONT AND THE MAJORITY OF THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT PASSING TO OUR NORTH. FRONTAL BOUNDARY ITSELF IS NOT IN ANY BIG HURRY TO MOVE SOUTHWARD SO MOST OF THE CWA SHOULD STAY IN THE WARM SECTOR TONIGHT WITH LOWS LIKELY STRUGGLING TO FALL FAR INTO THE 60S. WRF/NAM/GFS ALL HAVE SLOWED THE FRONTAL TIMING DOWN SOME MORE AND HAS THE FRONT VERY NEAR THE ARKANSAS/MISSOURI BORDER THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE BOUNDARY SHOULD ALLOW MLCAPES TO INCREASE TO 3000 J/KG OVER OUR FAR SOUTHERN CWA WITH 0-6KM SHEAR VECTORS PROGGED TO BE IN EXCESS OF 40KT...SO IF STORMS DEVELOP CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS. BIG QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY GIVEN LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...HOWEVER WITH LITTLE IF ANY CAP WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG THE NEARLY STALLED OUT FRONT COULD BE ENOUGH FOR SOME ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. WEAK FRONT/MOISTURE DISCONTINUITY BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO LIFT EVER SO SLOWLY NORTHWARD ACROSS OUR CWA THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. MODEST ASCENT NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH LOW LEVEL JET COULD ALLOW FOR SOME NOCTURNAL CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AND WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY COULD ALLOW FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON. NEITHER SCENARIO LOOKS OVERLY LIKELY AT THIS TIME BUT ENOUGH OF A CHANCE EXISTS GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE TO WARRANT AT LEAST SCHC POPS DURING THAT TIME FRAME. WHAT LEFT OF THE BOUNDARY WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DECREASING. TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME QUITE TOASTY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH 850MB TEMPS OVER 20C AND UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA. HIGHS WILL PROBABLY CLIMB INTO THE 90S AREA WIDE SATURDAY EVEN ON THE PLATEAU WITH MID 90S POSSIBLE OVER WESTERN/NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. COULD SEE TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO MODERATE A BIT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS A BIT AND 850MB TEMPS COOL SOME. THIS COOLING IS MAINLY ADVERTISED BY THE GFS AND ECMWF IS LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE COOLING. DID TREND TEMPS A BIT MORE TOWARD CLIMO EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT REALLY WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF THESE TEMPS NEED TO BE BUMPED UP SOME EVENTUALLY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE EXTENDED LOOK PRETTY PALTRY AND KEPT POPS NEAR/SLIGHT BELOW CLIMO (WHICH IS NEAR 20 PERCENT) THROUGH THE PERIOD. IZZI && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THE SPRINGFIELD AND JOPLIN TERMINALS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. SCATTERED CUMULUS WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. AN ISOLATED STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THE VICINITIES OF THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING BUT THIS HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE TAFS. LOCALIZED MVFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT HAZE AND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND SUNRISE THURSDAY. FOSTER && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO SGF
