.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 856 AM CDT Wed May 8 2024
Warm front has become stationary close to I-40. Showers with very
heavy rainfall and thunderstorms continue to move eastward along
and just north of the boundary. Very heavy rainfall continues to
feed the flood threat across our far north.
To the south, the southern half of the mid state will receive a
break with some capping now noted into the early afternoon.
However, SPC parameters indicate additional destabilization as the
day wears on. Primary push of pre frontal initial energy appears
to be mid to late afternoon. At that time...cape values of up to
4000 j/kg will be in place across our south with MLLR's of 7C to 7
1/2C. Some clearing is already noted in our southwest....not
good. 0-1km Helicity values will be in the 100-200 M(2) S(-2)
range. Severe out break round 1 will likely occur across the
central and south as we move into the mid to late afternoon. All
forms of severe weather will be possible.
Activity now firing across central Mo. This will represent the
energy later in association with the primary frontal boundary.
This round 2 activity looks like sometime between 6 PM and
midnight for all of the mid state. Again, all forms of severe
weather will be possible.
