Area forecast discussion, Jul 22, 2:09 PM CDT, 4 hours 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 209 PM CDT FRI JUL 22 2005 ...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT... .DISCUSSION... THE HEAT IS ON...AND BECAUSE OF THE PROLONGED NATURE OF EXCESSIVE HEAT...AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND ALL OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS. HEALTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE REPORTED HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES...AND AN INCREASE IN THIS TREND IS POSSIBLE GIVEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS FORECAST. WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING DIRECTLY OVER THE STATE OF MISSOURI THROUGH THE WEEKEND...TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BE A COUPLE OR THREE DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY. HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM 105 TO 110 DEGREES...WITH A FEW ISOLATED SPOTS EXPERIENCING VALUES OVER 110. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SETTING UP THIS WEEKEND AND PERSONS ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES. MEANWHILE...LIKE YESTERDAY ANOTHER MINOR DISTURBANCE IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS UNDERNEATH THE WAVE HAS BEEN THE RESULT MOST OF THE DAY...AND THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO WHETHER A ROUND OF STORMS WILL FIRE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING AS THE WAVE APPROACHES SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. NONE OF THE MODELS SUGGEST ANY PRECIP COMING FROM THIS. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE IS PRETTY UNSTABLE ACROSS THE REGION...WITH 100 MB MIXED LAYER CAPES RANGING FROM 2500 - 3500 J/KG. IF A STORM WERE TO DEVELOPED AND BECOME ROOTED WITHIN THE LOWER FEW KILOMETERS...THE CONVECTION COULD BECOME RATHER INTENSE. HAVE INCLUDED CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE BOARD TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE THIS EVENING. AGAIN...IF STORMS DO DEVELOP...MOST AREAS SHOULD REMAIN DRY. HEADING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...SUMMER TIME RIDGE OVER MISSOURI WILL BEGIN TO DAMPEN OUT MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY A PRETTY DECENT SHORTWAVE FOR THE TIME OF YEAR MOVING IN FOR TUESDAY. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT THROUGH PROVIDING A FEW PERIODS OF MUCH NEEDED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE AVAILABLE. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE RELIEF WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS FALLING BACK INTO THE 80S AND LOWER 90S. CRAMER .AVIATION... EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS AT THE KSGF/KJLN TAF SITES. UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE LARGE UPPER RIDGE OF THE MIDSECTION OF THE COUNTRY IS PRODUCING A PERSISTENT AREA OF CONVECTION OVER NW MO ATTM. LIKE YESTERDAY...THAT AREA WILL LIKELY MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO CENTRAL MO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. FOR NOW...AM THINKING THIS RAIN WILL STAY NORTH OF THE TAF SITES. ACCAS IS EXTENDING WELL BACK INTO EAST CENTRAL KS...SO IT BEARS WATCHING.
