AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1245 PM CDT MON JUL 10 2006

.DISCUSSION...

LONG TERM TRENDS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE OZARKS...WITH A TYPICAL SUMMER TYPE UPPER
RIDGE PARKED ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. MEAN GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES
SHOW THE HIGHEST THICKNESS VALUES AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AREA LIKELY. REAL-TIME STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES
AT THE 85H DONT INDICATE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR
(OZARKS/SOUTHEAST KANSAS) TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE NORMAL MEANS.
HOWEVER...THE CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS AND NO AIR MASS REPLACEMENT
FOR SURFACE CONDITIONS...BELIEVE HIGHS IN THE MID 90S LOOK GOOD WITH
HEAT INDICES APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES OVER THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.

LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO FINE TUNE THE LOCAL EFFECTS...BUT THIS
SHOULD BE THE HOTTEST AND MOST HUMID FOR THIS SUMMER SO FAR. IN
ADDITION...70H WILL BE LOW ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS WHERE WEAK
CONVERGENCE MAY DEVELOP. JLT

&&

.AVIATION...

HAVE CONTINUED VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT SPRINGFIELD
AND JOPLIN AND CARRIED SOME TEMPO THUNDER THROUGH 20Z TO 21Z TO
ACCOUNT FOR SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING WITHIN DESTABILIZING AIRMASS
OVER SOUTHWEST MO. BASED ON OBSERVED CLOUD TRENDS...BROUGHT CEILINGS
BRIEFLY BELOW 2000 FEET AT SPRINGFIELD. WILL REMAIN MORE OPTIMISTIC
AT JOPLIN WHERE TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS ARE GREATER.

WILL CARRY VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING UNTIL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS MOVES ACROSS TAF SITES.
THEREAFTER WILL CARRY MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 12Z THROUGH 15-18Z.
