Damaging Wind in Missouri, September 23, 2006

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
549 AM CDT SAT SEP 23 2006

UPDATED AVIATION

...TORNADO WATCH 796 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM...

.DISCUSSION...

TODAY...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH INTO THE GREAT LAKES AS A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST OUT OF THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. THE LIFTING ENERGY WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO PUSH
THROUGH MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI BY THIS EVENING.
EXPECT A SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT. KINEMATIC AND THERMODYNAMIC FIELDS WILL SUPPORT A STRONG TO
SEVERE SQUALL LINE. MUCAPES PUSHING 1000 J/KG ALONG WITH 6 KM BULK
SHEAR VALUES AROUND 50 KTS WILL SUPPORT SOME SEVERE HAIL. SEVERE
WIND GUSTS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AS STORMS BECOME MORE
SURFACE BASED BY LATER THIS MORNING. A LITTLE LESS IN THE WAY OF LOW
LEVEL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TODAY AS SURFACE WINDS WILL BE A BIT MORE
VEERED. A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY WITH ANY
STORMS THAT MANAGE TO FIRE AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. MEAN STORM
MOTIONS WILL TEND TO FOLLOW THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT. UNTIL THE
FRONT ACCELERATES SOUTHEASTWARD STARTING LATER THIS MORNING...HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN. ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI WILL POSE A FLOODING THREAT.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL PASS
ACROSS MISSOURI. A FEW EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. OTHERWISE...SKIES WILL
GENERALLY BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR OVER MOST AREAS BY MIDNIGHT. MOST
AREAS WILL TEND TO CLOUD UP ONCE AGAIN TOWARDS DAWN AS A LOW STRATUS
DECK DEVELOPS. THEN EXPECT STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS TO HANG AROUND FOR
MUCH OF SUNDAY...KEEPING TEMPERATURES RATHER COOL.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT THEN LOOK RATHER QUIET AS A DRIER
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW SETTLES OVER THE REGION. TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY
WILL GET BACK TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES. CHANCE POPS WERE THEN INCLUDED
FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE
FORECAST BEYOND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
