NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 17, 5:35 AM CST, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 635 AM CDT SUN SEP 17 2006 .UPDATE... CONVECTION WAS SPREADING EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA EARLY SUNDAY IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING SYNOPTIC SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER JET STREAKING ACROSS THE PLAINS. CONVECTION WAS ALSO PUSHING NORTHEAST OUT OF OKLAHOMA IN ADVANCE OF A MINOR SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE SUBTROPICAL JET. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES PROVIDE AMPLE LIFT...AND THE LOWER ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN CONTINUES TO MOISTEN. FOSTER && .DISCUSSION... FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS LIT UP TO OUR WEST AS ADVERTISED. NOSE OF 50-60KT LLJ CONTINUES TO ADVECT RICH LOW LEVEL THETA-E AIR INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. IN THE PREFRONTAL WARM SECTOR...CONDITIONS ARE MUGGY THIS MORNING WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S AND DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S. MID/UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF LANE IS BEGINNING TO MAKE PROGRESS INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. THE EFFECTS OF THIS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE FORM OF CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...WHICH WILL HINDER SIGNIFICANT DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION. ANOTHER AREA OF INTEREST IS A WAVE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS RESULTING IN DEEP CONVECTION /AS PER MORNING IR CLOUD TOPS/. THIS PIECE OF ENERGY IS PROGGED TO TRAVEL NORTHEASTWARD THIS MORNING INTO ARKANSAS. THIS WILL ENCOURAGE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO OUR SOUTH THIS MORNING AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRAVERSES OUR AREA. STORY REMAINS CONSISTENT REGARDING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS THE OZARKS TODAY. FLOW AND BULK SHEAR VECTORS PARALLEL TO THE COLD FRONT WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED LINEAR DEVELOPMENT. LACK OF STEEP 700-500MB LAPSE RATES WILL RESULT IN WEAK INSTABILITY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES SHOW MODEST SHEAR THROUGH THE LOWER HALF OF THE ATMOSPHERE...MORE CONDUCIVE TO MULTICELLULAR DEVELOPMENT AS OPPOSED TO SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. HOWEVER...IF A DISCRETE CELL OR TWO CAN DEVELOP /PRIMARILY ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST CWA/ IT WOULD BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. LARGE HAIL THREAT IS MINIMAL FOR OUR AREA GIVEN HIGH FREEZING LEVELS AND AFOREMENTIONED LACK OF SHEAR AND STEEP LAPSE RATES. HEAVY RAINFALL IS STILL POSSIBLE FOR AREAS ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND BUFKIT OFFER SOME SEMBLANCE OF LONG SKINNY CAPE AND MARGINALLY DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYERS. CONTINUED LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION ON THE HEELS OF 20KT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PROVIDE A BELT OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS DOWNSTREAM PRECIPITABLE WATER VALES FROM 1.6-1.8 INCHES. ALL OF THIS IS MEASURED IN AN EXPECTED MAXIMA OF K INDICES ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. IN THE WAKE OF TODAYS SYSTEM...MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL COMMENCE ACROSS THE PLAINS AS A MODIFIED CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH SPREADS INTO OUR AREA. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL BE IN STORE FOR THE OZARKS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 40S AND HIGHS COMFORTABLY IN THE 70S. WOULDNT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW READINGS IN THE UPPER 60S ON TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. NEXT UPPER TROUGH WILL DIP INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY THURSDAY. THERE IS SOME MODEL DISCREPANCY IN REGARDS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE GFS...ECMWF...AND CANADIAN GENERALLY AGREE OF AN IMPACT ON THE OZARKS LATE IN THE WORK WEEK. LACK OF MOISTURE WILL INITIALLY BE AN ISSUE. HOWEVER...THE POSITION OF THE TROUGH WILL LIKELY DRAW UP SOME MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF MIRIAM. A FEW DAYS OF SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW MID-WEEK AND A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL SET UP A NICE WARM AIR/MOIST ADVECTION REGIME AND ALLOW THE GULF TO OPEN UP. MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST WAS TO BUMP UP TO 30 POPS FOR FRIDAY...WHICH IS FAIRLY ALIGNED TO THE ENSEMBLE POPS. SCHULTZ && .AVIATION... A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW JUST OFF OF THE SURFACE WILL RESULT IN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. AREAS OF MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE INCREASES. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST THIS MORNING IN JOPLIN AND IN SPRINGFIELD BY THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT ADVANCES EASTWARD. FOSTER && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
