FORECAST QUESTIONS TODAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
PRECIPITATION CHANCES
TEMPERATURES

KSGF 88D INDICATING SHOWERS WRAPPING AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE
VORT MAX NEAR SAINT LOUIS. WIND PROFILERS INDICATED NORTHWEST FLOW
AT 850 MB OVER THE SHOW ME STATE...BUT SOUTHERLY WINDS HAD ALREADY
RETURNED TO CENTRAL KANSAS. DENSE FOG HAD DEVELOPED OVER CENTRAL
MISSOURI... BUT THE FORECAST AREA REMAINED FOG FREE AT PRESS TIME.

00Z MODEL GUIDANCE DIFFERS FROM PREVIOUS RUNS IN THAT A SHEAR AXIS
WILL DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TODAY AND PERSIST THROUGH
FRIDAY. ETA IS THE STRONGEST...NGM THE WEAKEST AND THE AVN IS A NICE
COMPROMISE. WHILE THIS FEATURE WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTH AND EAST...
IT WILL AFFECT AT LEAST THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY.

CHANCE POPS CURRENTLY IN THE ZONES LOOK REASONABLE FOR SOUTHWEST
MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. REST OF FORECAST AREA SHOULD ESCAPE
RAIN TODAY...BUT MAY HAVE TO ADD A MENTION OF MORNING SHOWERS TO
EXTREME EASTERN SECTIONS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT RAIN.

PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED BY SUNRISE WHICH WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL. WILL FOLLOW THE SLIGHTLY
COOLER FAN GUIDANCE TODAY.

THANKS TO TULSA FOR COORDINATION THIS MORNING.
