AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1114 AM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006 ...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION... A FEW UPDRAFTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRIGGERED THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO RAPID MOISTURE TRANSPORT BACK INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. RADAR SUGGESTS THAT MOST OF THESE UPDRAFTS ARE BEING CAPPED OFF BY A MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE INVERSION NOTED FROM THE KSGF 12Z RAOB AT AROUND 15-18 KFT. WITH INCREASE HEATING AND DEEPENING MOISTURE...THIS CAP (SUBSIDENCE INVERSION) WILL PROBABLY BREAK WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. THE ENVIRONMENT IS RIPE FOR TORNADOES...LARGE AND DESTRUCTIVE TORNADOES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR ACROSS THE REGION IS IMPRESSIVE WITH 60-70 KNOTS...0-1KM HELICITIES RANGING FROM 150-300M2/S2. A MODIFIED 12Z KSGF RAOB SUGGESTS THAT 1500-2000 J/KG OF ML CAPE EXISTS ACROSS A BROAD AREA OF SW MO...AND WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH TIME IN THE SHORT TERM...THE AREA OF MOST CONCERN IS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM GROVE OKLAHOMA TO LAKE OF THE OZARKS. CRAMER 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. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
