Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 4:09 AM CST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 509 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011 ...UPDATE TO AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... TEMPERATURES VARIED ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING AS MIDDLE 60S WERE OBSERVED IN THE EASTERN OZARKS...WHILE MIDDLE 70S WERE COMMON OVER THE OSAGE PLAINS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI. THIS TEMPERATURE GRADIENT OCCURRED IN RESPONSE TO A WARM FRONT THAT WAS POSITIONED FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OZARKS. A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ONGOING AT THE MOMENT...BUT ITS NOT. AS A MATTER OF FACT...OTHER THAN THE KANSAS WIND MILLS SHOWING UP ON TOP OF THE FLINT HILLS...THE REGIONAL COMPOSITE DOESN'T SHOW A SINGLE ECHO AS OF 230 AM. AREA PROFILERS IS SHOWING INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHERN KANSAS. AS THIS LOW LEVEL JET INTERSECTS THE SURFACE FRONT OVER EASTERN KANSAS...ITS STILL POSSIBLE THAT CONVECTION WILL INITIATE IN THIS AREA...AND DIVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE OZARKS REGION. AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT THE H-TRIP IS SHOWING...ALONG WITH THE RUC 13. THEREFORE...OUR FIRST PERIOD PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR IN THIS AREA...AND MAKE A LAST MINUTE CALL TODAY'S PRECIPITATION CHANCES. REGARDING TEMPERATURES TODAY...LOCATIONS SOUTHWEST OF THE WARM FRONT WILL WARM INTO THE 90S...WHILE AREAS ALONG OR NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL REMAIN COOLER. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH ANOTHER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT. MODELS HAVE THIS COMPLEX DEVELOPING FURTHER NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI...AND THEN PEELING SOUTHEAST ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THEREFORE WE HAVE LOWERED POPS ACROSS MOST AREAS...WITH 30 TO 40 PERCENT CHANCES GOING OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY...WITH ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASING TUESDAY NIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY. THE INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL OCCUR IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF AN UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH...WHICH WILL INTERACT WITH AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ASSUMES A NORTHWEST FLOW STRUCTURE THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS SET UP WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. ONE SIGNAL IN PARTICULAR SHOWS UP STRONG FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AS MODELS INDICATE A FAIRLY DECENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MIGRATING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW. AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEKEND...THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE STARTS TO NOSE BACK INTO THE OZARKS...PUSHING THE SYNOPTIC FRONT WELL INTO THE IOWA AND NEBRASKA CORNBELT. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR A HOT...HUMID...AND DRY WEEKEND AHEAD. CRAMER && .AVIATION... /ISSUED 502 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011/ FOR THE 13/1200Z KSGF/KJLN/KBBG TAFS...CONVECTION FINALLY STARTING TO IN AN AREA OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT WITH VEERING LOW LEVEL JET OVER NORTHERN MO. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP SOUTHWARD AS WELL INTO CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL MO WITH INCREASED ISENTROPIC ASCENT AS THE 850MB FLOW CONTINUES TO VEER SOMEWHAT. WILL WATCH TRENDS...BUT WILL KEEP TAF SITES DRY FOR NOW IN THE NEAR TERM. OTHERWISE WILL LEAVE TAFS VFR OTHER THAN SOME EARLY MORNING MVFR FOG IN SOME AREAS. DSA && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. &&
