AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
235 PM CDT SAT AUG 19 2006

.DISCUSSION...

STARTING TO SEE A FEW SMALL SHOWERS ON THE RADAR OVER TANEY COUNTY
WITH THE BULK OF SCATTERED STORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY IN NORTHERN ARKANSAS. ALONG MAIN THERMAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING
FROM NE MO TO CENTRAL KS...MAINLY POST-FRONTAL PRECIP HAS DEVELOPED.
MODIFYING THE KSGF SOUNDING FROM 12Z FOR CURRENT SURFACE CONDITIONS
GIVES CAPES AROUND 3200 J/KG WITH NO CAP. WHILE RADAR SHOWS A COUPLE
OF BOUNDARIES FROM BARRY COUNTY TO TANEY/CHRISTIAN COUNTIES...LIGHT
FLOW AND LACK OF FOCUSING MECHANISM WILL STILL KEEP STORM COVERAGE
ISOLATED AT BEST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT AS FRONT TO OUR
NORTH CONTINUES ITS SLOW PROGRESS SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA.
ADDITIONAL LIFT AND DESTABILIZATION FROM SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD FINALLY GET
SOME DECENT RAINFALL OVER THE AREA DURING THE LATE NIGHT/EARLY
MORNING HOURS SUNDAY. QPF OF THE GFS MAY BE A LITTLE OVERDONE WITH
LARGE AREA OF 1.5 INCHES OVER CENTRAL MO. LEANED MORE TOWARD THE WRF
WHICH STILL GENERATES A SWATH OF ABOUT 0.5 INCHES OVER OUR CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN COUNTIES.

WILL HANG ONTO SOME SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN ON SUNDAY AS LOW LEVEL
MOIST AXIS LAGS TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT UNTIL MONDAY. THEREAFTER
WILL CONTINUE WITH DRY FORECAST THROUGH FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGE
REMAINS STRONG OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL U.S...FORCING MAIN
WESTERLIES TO REMAIN OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE U.S. AND CANADA.
WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY IN THE GRIDS AS ECMWF AND GFS SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
FINALLY MOVING INTO THE MISSOURI VALLEY.

TEMPERATURES FOR NEXT WEEK WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY
BEFORE WARMING TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL LATE IN THE WEEK. MMT

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...NO AVIATION PROBLEMS THROUGH 6Z AS THE MAIN
LIFT/MOISTURE AND CONVECTION WILL REMAIN NORTH OF BOTH TERMINALS.
AFTER 6Z...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES ALONG WITH LOCAL TERRAIN
EFFECTS TO DEVELOP LOWER CEILINGS...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE OZARK PLATEAU. CURRENT IFR/MVFR CEILINGS ACROSS NORTHERN
MISSOURI MAY DEVELOP ACROSS OUR REGION BY 12Z AS ASSOCIATED
LIFT/DEEPER MOISTURE AND CONVECTION BEGIN TO AFFECT BOTH TERMINALS.
HAVE OPTED TO ONLY ADD PROB30 IN BOTH TAFS AFTER 12Z DUE TO SOME
UNCERTAINTIES OF PRECIPITATION FIELD AND ASSOCIATED LOWER LIFTED
CONDENSATION LEVELS. HOWEVER...MVFR/IFR CEILINGS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP
IF PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS AS NORTHEAST/EAST WIND FLOW CONTINUES.
LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO UPDATE IF TEMPO/PREVAILING CEILINGS AOB
1000 WILL DEVELOP AFTER 12Z...OR MAYBE EARLIER IF PRECIPITATION
BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD. JLT
