AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 922 PM CDT THU JUN 07 2007 .DISCUSSION... ACTIVE NIGHT OF WEATHER ON TAP. WHILE THE DRY LINE STALLED OUT TO OUR WEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON...A COLD FRONT HAS SURGED TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS...ASSOCIATED WITH A MID LEVEL LEVEL DISTURBANCE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS COLD FRONT WILL OVERTAKE THE AFOREMENTIONED DRY LINE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND PROVIDE THE LIFT NEEDED TO BREAK THE CAP NOTED ON THE 00Z KSGF SOUNDING. THE CAP HAS WEAKENED SUFFICIENTLY TO OUR WEST (AND AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE) TO ALLOW FOR A FEW TSRA TO DEVELOP FROM CENTRAL KS TO SE KS. SCT SUPERCELLS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE THROUGH MIDNIGHT AND AFFECT EXTREME SE KS AND FAR WESTERN MO. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ARE ANTICIPATED AS THE COLD FRONT SURGES INTO THIS WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. A COMBINATION OF ISOLATED SUPERCELLS AND LINE SEGMENTS ARE FIRST EXPECTED...WITH AN EVENTUAL MORPH INTO A SQUALL LINE. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER REMAIN POSSIBLE. TIMING WISE...AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR CAN EXPECT STORMS PRIOR TO 3AM...WITH AREAS EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR EXPERIENCE STORMS AFTER 3AM. GAGAN && .PREV DISCUSSION... /320 PM CDT THU JUN 07 2007/ THE FULL SUITE OF SEVERE WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WILL BE MONITORING SATELLITE TRENDS CLOSELY THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CAP EROSION. THE LATEST SREF GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF THE CAP BREAKING PRIOR TO 00Z...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OCCURRING WEST OF HIGHWAY 65. OTHERWISE MORE NUMEROUS STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE DRYLINE OVER THE FLINT HILLS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...EVENTUALLY SPREADING INTO THE OZARKS THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. HIGH END INSTABILITY AND SHEAR PARAMETERS SUGGEST THE LIKELIHOOD OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ALL MODES OF SEVERE PHENOMENA. CRAMER .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY INTENSE CYCLONE CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS SHOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION FROM A SPRING TO A MORE SUMMER TYPE PATTERN. FRONT/DRYLINE WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE CWA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS DEFINITELY THERE. CURRENTLY UNDER A CAPPED ENVIRONMENT BUT INSTABILITY AND SHEAR PRESENT FOR SUPERCELL FORMATION. A COMBINATION OF THE APPROACHING SURFACE FRONT AND AN UPPER LEVEL SPEED MAX WILL ALLOW CAP TO WEAKEN SOMETIME THIS EVENING. FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA BY 12Z FRIDAY AND BECOMES EAST-WEST ORIENTED ACROSS ARKANSAS. UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINS BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES ON FRIDAY. SURFACE FRONT REMAINS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE AREA TO WARRANT AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG ARKANSAS BORDER THROUGH SATURDAY. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MEAN TROUGH BEGINS TO SET UP ACROSS WESTERN U.S. ON SUNDAY ALLOWING RIDGING TO TAKE PLACE OVER THE OZARKS. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES ON TO THE EAST...CONVECTION WILL BECOME MORE WIDELY SCATTERED IN NATURE AND WILL MORE LIKELY DEPEND ON THE MOVEMENT OF DISCRETE UPPER LEVEL WAVES ACROSS THE TOP OF THE FLAT RIDGE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT TO JUST SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. GUIDANCE TEMPS SEEMED REASONABLE AND DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY ADJUSTMENTS. GAEDE && .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z KSGF/KJLN TAFS: A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AS A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS THIS EVENING...EVENTUALLY SHIFTING INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
