AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
323 PM CDT FRI JUN 29 2007

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS/CHALLENGES FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE
CONTINUED ONGOING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...ALONG WILL
FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. GENERALLY FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE HAVE
FOLLOWED THE GFS ON PROBABILITIES OF PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURES
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

CURRENTLY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE CWA IN A
VERY MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS. THIS SCATTERED ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN
TO DISSIPATE AROUND SUNSET AS THIS ACTIVITY IS STABILITY BASED. AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY LOCATED IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WILL
CONTINUE TO SPIN ENERGY TOWARDS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WITH THE BETTER CHANCES OCCURRING OVER THE WESTERN CWA.
THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLASH FLOODING. THERE COULD BE A ISOLATED STORM OR TWO THAT
CONTAINS MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS TODAY.

UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TOMORROW AS THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ENERGY INTO EASTERN KANSAS AND EXTREME
SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI. AGAIN THE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL CONTINUE. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND EXTENDED THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE WESTERN COUNTIES IN THE CWA. ELSEWHERE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE
LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

ON SUNDAY THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION. AS THE
DAY WEARS ON THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY FOR THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO
SLIDE TO THE SOUTHWEST. HAVE INCREASED POPS OVER THE WESTERN CWA
AS THE LOW MOVES OFF AND LEFT SLIGHT CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE REST
OF THE CWA.

BY MONDAY AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL BRING A WARMER AND DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE AREA.
THE MODELS SHOW A MOISTURE GRADIENT SEEN BOTH ON THE 925MB DEW
POINTS AND THE 700-300MB LAYER RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THIS MOISTURE
GRADIENT WILL SET UP AROUND THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS BORDER ON MONDAY
AND TUESDAY. CANNOT RULE OUT A THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPING IN THIS
MOISTURE. WITH MUCH DRIER AIR OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA DO NOT
SEE MUCH OF A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

BETTER RAIN CHANCE WILL OCCUR ON THURSDAY AS A COLD FRONT DROPS
THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE GONE WITH THE MODEL SOLUTION THAT BRINGS
THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON THE DAY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
EVENING. THE CURRENT 12Z GFS RUN BRINGS THE FRONT THROUGH FASTER
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE PREVIOUS GFS RUNS AND THE MODELS SHOW A
SLOWER SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE EFFECTS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE THE PRIMARY
CHALLENGE IN THIS AFTERNOON AVIATION FORECASTS.  THE TROPICAL LIKE
AIRMASS REMAINS ANCHORED OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI...WHICH WILL
FACILITATE NUMEROUS AFTERNOON STORMS.  THE PREDOMINATE STORM MODE
WILL BE PULSE STORMS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF DOWNPOURS ALONG
WITH A FEW CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES.  LOOK FOR
DETERIORATING FLIGHT CONDITIONS IF ONE OF THESE STORMS IMPACTS
EITHER THE JOPLIN OR SPRINGFIELD AIRPORTS.

THE LATEST THINKING IS THAT AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER MAY BE
POSSIBLE FOR TONIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY CUT BACK ON THE PESSIMISTIC
PRECIP WORDING IN THE TAFS.

 HOWEVER..OTHER ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS
