AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
330 PM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006

...TORNADO WATCH 787 IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM...

.DISCUSSION...

SEVERE AND POTENTIALLY TORNADIC STORMS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF BULGING
DRYLINE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...IN VERY UNSTABLE AND STRONG SHEARED
AIRMASS EAST OF HIGHWAY 65. DATA FROM 16Z KSGF SOUNDING SHOWED LOW
LEVEL CAP ERODED BY 11 AM WITH 3600+ J/KG CAPE AND 0-3KM STORM
RELATIVE HELICITIES OVER 350 M2/S2. BY 230 PM MOST OF THE STORMS
WERE EXITING THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE WARNING AREA.

WITH DEWPOINT TEMPS STILL HOVERING IN THE LOWER/MID 60S ALONG AND
EAST OF A JOPLIN TO VERSAILLES LINE...AND UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
STILL OUT TO OUR WEST...DO NOT THINK WE ARE TOTALLY IN THE CLEAR
JUST YET. HOWEVER...TORNADO THREAT HAS DECREASED SOMEWHAT WITH
VEERING LOW LEVEL WINDS AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...

WILL MAINTAIN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE FORECAST WITH HIGHEST
CHANCES OVER THE EAST FOR TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. EXPECT TO SEE
ADDITIONAL STORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING. AS MAIN
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE AREA WITH SURFACE COLD FRONT...YET ANOTHER
ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. EXPECT MAINLY A
STRAIGHT LINE WIND THREAT WITH THE LATER ROUNDS OF STORMS.

TERRY
&&

LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY)...
THIS PERIOD APPEARS TO BE QUIET IN THE WAKE OF OUR ONGOING STORM
SYSTEM.  COLD FRONT WILL SPREAD THROUGH A CANADIAN AIRMASS THAT WILL
SCOUR MOISTURE FROM THE DEEP SOUTH AND INTO THE GULF.  THIS WILL
LIMIT ANY POTENTIAL FOR ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.  THERE
MAY BE A COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES MIGRATING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST
FLOW DURING THESE PERIODS...BUT WEAK LIFT AND LOW MOISTURE MAY ONLY
YIELD CLOUD COVER.

THE GFS SUGGESTS THAT A STRONGER WAVE COULD IMPACT THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY.  MOISTURE WILL STILL BE LACKING HOWEVER BETTER LIFT WITH
THIS SYSTEM JUSTIFIES SOME CHANCE POPS FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY.  FOLLOWED THE MEX POPS NUMBERS WITH THESE PERIODS.  FALL
LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK
WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S AND 80S...AND LOWS RANGING FROM THE 40S TO THE
MID 50S.

CRAMER
&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...WENT AHEAD AND LEFT VICINITY THUNDER FOR THE
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE TAF AT KSGF WITH PERIODIC STORM REDEVELOPMENT
OVER EASTERN GREENE COUNTY. LATER THIS EVENING...CARRIED VICINITY
THUNDER AT BOTH AIRPORTS AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO THE REGION
AND INTERACTS WITH RESIDENT AIRMASS OVER THE AREA.

HAVE SHIFTED WINDS TO THE WEST TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD AS COLD
FRONT TRAVERSES THE AREA.
