AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
215 AM CDT MON JUN 21 1999

MAIN FOCUS THIS PD WILL BE WITH INCREASING CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AS
SHRTWV PUSHES INTO THE MS VLY.

WAA SHOWERS OCCURRING ACROSS SW/W CNTRL MO ATTM.  UPR LVL PATTERN
FROM 00Z 5H ANALYSIS SHOWS RIDGE ACROSS THE ROCKIES/HIGH PLAINS WITH
SHRTWV CAUGHT BENEATH THE RIDGE ACROSS THE S PLAINS.  THIS WAS AIDING
IN TSRA ACROSS NM/TX TONIGHT.  NO REAL SYNOPTIC SCALE SFC BOUNDARIES
TO FOCUS ON.

MODELS SHOWING DIFFERENCES FROM LAST NIGHTS SOLUTIONS...AND DEVELOP A
SHRTWV TROF ACROSS THE PLAINS LATER TDA.  MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
WITH THIS FEATURE...ALTHOUGH THE ETA LOOKS MUCH STRONGER THAN THE
NGM/AVN...BUT ALL MODELS GREATLY INCREASE THE POPS FROM PREVIOUS
RUNS.  HAVE GONE WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE W ON TUE...AND
BELIEVE THIS WILL MOSTLY OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD
SPREAD E ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY NIGHT.  THE CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION SHOULD LOWER MAXES ON TUE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE W AND
HAVE GONE CLOSE TO THE FWC NUMBERS THERE.
