AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
753 AM CDT SUN AUG 6 2006

.UPDATE...

SENDING SOME UPDATED GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS TO BUMP TEMPS UP A
COUPLE DEGREES FOR TODAY. MORNING SOUNDING SHOWS TEMPS ABOUT 2-3C
WARMER THAN 24 HOURS ABOVE THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION...MIXING OUT
THESE WARM TEMPS AND ACCOUNTING FOR SUPER-ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE NEAR
THE SURFACE YIELDS TEMPS A BIT WARMER THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT.

UPDATED GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS ON THE WAY...

IZZI

&&

.DISCUSSION...

THE BROKEN RECORD CONTINUES...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TODAY REVOLVES
AROUND SMALL CONVECTIVE CHANCES AS WELL AS THE HEAT.

REGIONAL PROFILERS INDICATE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE 10-20KT
RANGE AT 850MB WHICH IS ADVECTING SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS AT 850MB AS
SAMPLED BY THE 00Z SOUNDINGS UPSTREAM. SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE A
GOOD HANDLE ON THIS WARMING TEMPS 1-2C THIS AFTERNOON COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...SO ANTICIPATE HIGH TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE
YESTERDAYS ALREADY TOASTY READINGS. TRENDED HIGH TEMPS AT LEAST A
CATEGORY ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE OVER ALL BUT SC MO AFTER MAV 5F TOO COOL
BUST AT SGF/JLN YESTERDAY. HIGHS SAT ACROSS OUR NW CWA CLIMBED TO
BETWEEN 102-104F BASED ON MESONET/COOP OBS...AND EXPECT TODAY TO BE
EVEN A BIT WARMER. DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY MIX OUT INTO THE LOWER 60S
LIMITING HEAT INDICES TO RIGHT AROUND THE AMBIENT TEMPS...HOWEVER
WITH HIGH TEMPS PROGGED TO CLIMB TO 104-106F WE ACTUALLY SEE 3-5
HOURS OF HEAT INDICES AT OR ABOVE 105F IN THE GRIDS THIS AFTERNOON
SO WILL BE HOISTING AN ADVISORY ACCORDINGLY. IT WILL BE VERY HOT
ELSEWHERE IN THE CWA BUT ITS UNLIKELY HEAT INDICES WILL EXCEED 105F
FOR 3 HOURS ELSEWHERE.

THE INTENSE HEAT AND LITTLE CAP COULD LEAD TO A COUPLE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER MUCH LIKE SATURDAY COVERAGE
SHOULD BE WELL BELOW 14% THRESHOLD FOR INCLUSION IN THE TEXT
PRODUCTS. DID INTRODUCE 10% POPS AND ISOLD TS IN THE GRIDS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE COUPLE STORMS THAT WILL PROBABLY POP UP
IN THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON.

AFTER THE BLISTERING HEAT TODAY ATTENTION WILL TURN TO THE FRONT TO
OUR NW. GFS/WRF BOTH SEEM TO BE HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE HANDLING
OF THIS FRONT...GFS DUE TO CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AND WRF APPEARS BE TO
OVERDOING CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. HAVE DECIDED TO LARGELY THROW OUT BOTH
OF THEIR SOLUTIONS AND GENERALLY FOLLOWED A ECMWF/UKMET BLEND WHICH
DO DROP THE FRONT INTO OUR NORTHERN CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON. MONDAYS
HIGH TEMPS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER...ASSUMING CLOUD
COVER FROM PREVIOUS NIGHTS CONVECTION ISNT A HUGE PLAYER THEN HIGHS
COULD ONCE AGAIN SOAR TO ABOVE 100F ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE
CWA. IF CLOUD COVER IS MORE PREVALENT THEN HIGHS MAY ONLY CLIMB INTO
THE LOWER 90S...EITHER SCENARIO IS EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE AND GENERALLY
SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO EXTREMES LEANING MORE TOWARD
COOLER TEMPS NORTH AND A BIT WARMER SOUTH. GUT FEELING IS THAT GOING
TEMPS WILL NEED TO BE RAISED.

COULD SEE SOME ISOLD-WDLY SCT THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG THE
BOUNDARY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE BEST CHANCES NEAR THE
FRONT WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE OVER OUR NORTHERN CWA. SURE DOESNT LOOK
LIKE ANYTHING WIDESPREAD OR A DROUGHT BUSTING RAIN BY ANY MEANS...
BUT WITH DEWPOINTS POOLING A BIT NEAR THE FRONT SOME VERY LOCALIZED
HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARENT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS THEN PROGGED TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE CWA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS IT BEGINS TO
WASH OUT. HARD TO RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUED SCHC POPS IN THE GRIDS FOR OUR NE
CWA. GENERALLY HAVE TEMPS TUES PM RUNNING ABOUT 2 CATEGORIES ABOVE
MAV GUIDANCE AND EVEN THESE TEMPS MAY ULTIMATELY BE TOO COOL BUT
DIDNT WANT TO GET TOO CARRIED AWAY.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON LIFTING WHATEVER
IS LEFT OF THE FRONT BACK NORTH OUT OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS THE BLAST FURNACE WILL BE CRANKED UP TO HIGH AGAIN. ONCE
AGAIN MUCH OF THE CWA WILL LIKELY SEE HIGH TEMPS IN THE 100-105F
RANGE WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. RECORD
BREAKING TEMPS ARE A GOOD BET (SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW) AND WE
WILL BE CHALLENGING RECORDS SET BACK IN THE HEAT/DUST BOWL ERAS OF
THE 1930S AND 1950S DEWPOINTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MIX OUT DURING THE
AFTERNOON LIMITING HEAT INDEX VALUES TO RIGHT AROUND THE HIGH TEMPS
AND LEAVING US TEETERING AT OR JUST BELOW HEADLINE THRESHOLDS IN THE
GRIDS.

NO CHANGES MADE TO GRIDS BEYOND THURSDAY.

.AVIATION...

NO PROBLEMS IN THE AVIATION COMMUNITY DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH
WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST UNDER 10 MPH. LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON CUMULUS CLOUDS WILL HAVE BASES AROUND 7000 FT WITH
CONVECTION ACTIVITY TOO ISOLATED TO FORECAST.
