AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 240 PM CDT MON SEP 11 2000 FORECAST CONCERNS INCLUDE PRECIPITATION COVERAGE AND SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TONIGHT AND EXTENT OF COOLING TUESDAY. SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM MINNEAPOLIS TO DODGE CITY. FEATURES OF INTEREST ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INCLUDE A POTENT SHORTWAVE TRACKING INTO THE NRN PLAINS...AND A SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN A SUBTROPICAL PLUME OVER SWRN KS. TEMPERATURES APPROACHING RECORD LEVELS WITH DEWPOINTS MAINTAINING IN THE UPPER 60S. ISOLATED SHOWERS DEVELOPING IN SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI IN SURFACE THETA-E RIDGE. UPPER PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS SHORTWAVES DROP OVER THE MEAN RIDGE POSITION OUT WEST. THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE INITIAL UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE REGION TONIGHT AND THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH WILL PRODUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF PRECIPITATION OVER MOST OF THE OZARKS TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AND TRANSITION TO NWLY FLOW ALOFT. WILL GENERALLY FOLLOW THE ETA. AIRMASS WILL BE PLENTY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT TONIGHT. THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE OVER WRN OK...GOOD LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...AND INCREASING DIVERGENCE ALOFT WILL INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT THIS EVENING. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO BREAK OUT OVER NWRN MO/ERN KS THEN SPREAD INTO OUR FORECAST AREA BY LATE EVENING. FETCH OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES PROGGED TO APPROACH 2 INCHES COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS.

HOWEVER WITH MAIN PUSH UPPER LEVEL COOLING HEADING EAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES WILL NOT GO AS COOL AS GUIDANCE. QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. CLEAR SKIES AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD COOLING TUESDAY NIGHT. IN THE EXTENDED...NWLY FLOW WILL RETURN AS THE UPPER PATTERN AMPLIFIES. NEXT FRONT WILL SLIDE DOWN THROUGH THE AREA BY THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY USHER MORE SIGNIFICANT COOLING INTO THE REGION. WILL LEAVE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW AS MOISTURE AVAILABILITY IS STILL QUESTIONABLE. FORECAST NUMBERS FOR COORDINATION PURPOSES ONLY.
