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

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

.UPDATE...

DRYLINE EXTENDED ROUGHLY ALONG A AIZ-SGF-UMN LINE AT 23Z.  AIRMASS
TO THE EAST STILL VERY UNSTABLE WITH CAPES BETWEEN 1500-2500 J/KG.
SHEAR VALUES ALSO REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELL STORMS...WITH LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT AT THIS TIME. TORNADIC
THREAT HAS SHIFTED MORE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI.

EXPECT THE NEXT ROUND OF STORMS TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES OUT IN THE ROCKIES AND APPROACHES THE AREA.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z TAFS...KSGF AND KJLN TERMINALS WILL SEE VFR THROUGH
ABOUT 05Z. EXPECT GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS TO GRADUALLY DECREASE AFTER
SUNSET. HAVE PUT VCTS BOTH TERMINALS AFTER 05Z...BECOMING -SHRA AS
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH AFTER 12Z.  VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN FORECAST BY
18Z.

.PREVIOUS 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.
