AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
624 PM CDT SAT AUG 13 2005

.AVIATION...

VERY DIFFICULT TAF FORECAST THIS EVENING TRYING TO TIME SHRA/TSRA
ACTIVITY AT THE TERMINALS. FIRST WAVE OF STORMS HAS CLEARED THE
TERMINALS...HOWEVER ANOTHER BATCH IS ORGANIZING OVER OKLAHOMA AND
LIFTING NORTHEAST TOWARD SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. STORMS APPEAR SOMEWHAT
ORGANIZED ON RADAR NOW SO UNLIKELY THAT THEY WILL COMPLETELY
DISSIPATE AT SUNSET...SO INTRODUCED A PERIOD OF SHRA WITH VCTS AT
JLN THIS EVENING. KEPT THUNDER OUT OF SGF FOR NOW SINCE TRAJECTORY
APPEARS TO KEEP MOST OF STORMS WEST OF TERMINAL. ADDITIONAL PERIODS
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE ENTIRE 00Z TAF
CYCLE...BUT AGAIN PINPOINTING THE TIMING IS IMPOSSIBLE SO WILL LET
LATER SHIFTS TIME THE STORMS ONCE THINGS ARE CLEARER.

.PREV DISCUSSION...

A FRONT REMAINED STALLED FROM CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION HAD DEVELOPED
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY WHERE MIXED LAYER CAPES WERE NEAR
2000 J/KG. WATER VAPOR SHOWED A POSITIVE TILT TROUGH EXTENDING FROM
THE EASTERN CANADIAN PROVINCES SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
DEEP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME WAS STREAMING NORTHWARD IN ADVANCE
OF THIS TROUGH. A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THIS FLOW APPEARED TO
BE ENHANCING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.
THE 12Z SOUNDING SUGGEST THAT STRONG MICROBURST WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY HAZARD WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

THE FRONT WILL SAG SLOWLY SOUTH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AS
UPPER FLOW REMAINS NEARLY ZONAL. A MODERATE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
TRANSPORT VERY RICH THETA-E AIRMASS INTO THE AREA WITH 850 MB
DEWPOINTS APPROACHING 15 DEGREES C. RIBBON OF PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES WILL STRETCH ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. IN
ADDITION MINOR SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH AND IN
THE STRONGER WESTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE U.S. WILL
AID PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT. THE RESULT WILL BE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MONDAY. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL FALL NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44 WHERE TRAINING
CELLS COULD PRODUCE HEAVY AMOUNTS. LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY BECOME
CONCERN IF MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL DEVELOP. MEANWHILE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN MORE ISOLATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI UNTIL THE FRONT APPROACHES LATER SUNDAY.

NAM AND GFS MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN BRINGING THE FRONT SLOWLY ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND FAR SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS
ON HIGHS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY DUE TO THE ASSOCIATED CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION. I HAVE TRENDED A COUPLE DEGREES DOWN BUT BELIEVE ANY
BREAKS WILL HELP TEMPERATURES RECOVER AT LEAST INTO THE LOWER 80S.
EXCEPTION MAY BE ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES WHERE HIGHS MAY
STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 70S IF PRECIPITATION PERSISTS.

THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THE 850 MB FLOW INTERSECTING THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT A GOOD CHANCE OF RAINFALL MONDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY.
THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
HOWEVER AMPLE MOISTURE WILL LIKELY LINGER TO SUPPORT ISOLATED
DIURNAL ACTIVITY.

ANOTHER FRONT IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK.
TIMING OF THIS FEATURE IS STILL IN QUESTION SO ONLY INTRODUCED A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
