AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1152 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2008

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED AT LATE EVENING FROM EAST CENTRAL
KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI IN ADVANCE OF A SAGGING COLD FRONT.
OVERALL INTENSITY HAD DECREASED AT LATE EVENING BUT THE
CONVECTION HAD CONSOLIDATED INTO A EAST TO WEST LINE THAT HAD
SHIFTED SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. THIS ACTIVITY HAS BECOME ORIENTED
WITHIN THE 850-700 MB THETA-E AXIS AND REGION OF UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE. SOME QUESTION HOW THIS CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE TONIGHT.
HOWEVER EXPECT ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS STRENGTHENING LOW
LEVEL JET INTERACTS WITH THIS BOUNDARY. CORFIDI VECTORS AND
DEVELOPING COLD POOL SUGGEST CONVECTION WOULD SINK SOUTHWARD
OVERNIGHT. DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SINKING BOUNDARY WILL LEAD TO
TRAINING CELLS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. GIVEN
THIS POTENTIAL AND SUPPORTED BY THE LATEST EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
OUTLOOK THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO BEGIN SOONER.
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO
CENTRAL MISSOURI BEGINNING TONIGHT...AS AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH IF
I-44 BEGINNING NOON THURSDAY. THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS OVERNIGHT
IS LOW AND CONFINED TO CENTRAL MISSOURI.

.DISCUSSION...

MAGNITUDE OF TSRA DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT AND SHORT RANGE MODEL
INCONSISTENCY MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES.

CAP HAS KEPT PERSISTENT BAND OF TSRA JUST NORTH OF THE FORCAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH MAY SEE SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY AS
AFTERNOON HEATING PEAKS.

COLD FRONT AT 19Z EXTENDED FROM NEAR DSM TO THE NORTHWEST TIP OF
MISSOURI TO KCNK WITH PREFRONTAL ELEVATED TSRA EVIDENCE OF
LIFT/INSTABILITY. FRONT AND TSRA CHANCES TO DESCEND INTO THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. CORFIDI VECTORS VEER SOUTHWARD DURING THE
NIGHT...THOUGH SOME QUESTION AS TO FORCING DESPITE FRONT AS H8
WINDS TEND TO CONVERGE AS OPPOSED TO FEED COMPLEX. STILL WITH WET
GROUNDS...LOCALIZED FLOODING ACROSS CENTRAL MO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

WHAT TONIGHTS RAINS WILL DO IS FURTHER SATURATE SOILS...SETTING
STAGE FOR POTENTIAL HOLIDAY FLASH FLOOD EVENT. MADE NO CHANGES TO
CURRENT FFA...THOUGH MODEL INCONSISTENCIES ARE TROUBLESOME. HAVE
LARGELY THROWN OUT GFS QPF DUE TO CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ON THURSDAY
AND AGAIN FRIDAY...THOUGH BASED UPON NATIONAL GUIDANCE AM MORE APT
TO FOLLOW ITS SURFACE PATTERN OVER THE SOUTHWARD PROPAGATING WRF
SOLUTION WHICH ENDS TSRA BY EARLY FRIDAY. WITH FORECAST AREA ON
SOUTHERN FRINGE OF WESTERLIES AND H8 WINDS VEERED AROUND...DO NOT
EXPECT EXCESSIVE RAINFALL THOUGH ANY SUBSTANTIAL RAIN WILL LEAD TO
FLOODING GIVEN ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS.

RUNNELS

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON THE FRONT ALONG WITH THE STRONGEST 850MB
MOISTURE TRANSPORT SHIFTS INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS. WITH ISENTROPIC
DOWNGLIDE NOTED ALONG THE 315K THETA SURFACE...PRECIPITATION CHANCES
WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY MORNING.

THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN AGREEMENT OF A GRADUAL BUILDING OF THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE INTO THE PLAINS AND THE OZARKS OVER THE WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL BRING A STRETCH OF DRY WEATHER TO THE
AREA WITH THE WESTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS.

THE GFS AND ECMWF DEPICT A WEAK FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A QUICK MOVING
SHORTWAVE IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS APPROACHING SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
THE MISSOURI OZARKS EARLY NEXT WEEK. HAVE SOME DOUBT THAT THIS FRONT
WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR SOUTH WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES
ALOFT DEPICTED BY BOTH MODELS ASSOCIATED WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW. THUS
HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH A DRY FORECAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE
EXTENDED.

FOR TEMPERATURES HAVE CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT GUIDANCE WITH A SLOW
WARMING TREND DUE TO THE MOIST GROUND FROM THE RECENT RAINS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY CLIMB TO NEAR 90 WITH LOWS IN
THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE OZARKS WITH LOWER 70S ALONG THE
OSAGE PLAIN.

ANGLE

&&

.AVIATION...

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AS THE NOCTURNAL LOW
LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND
MISSOURI WILL SPREAD SOUTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A FRONT
SAGS SOUTHWARD. THESE STORMS MAY DRIFT INTO THE SPRINGFIELD AND
JOPLIN VICINITIES AFTER 07Z. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN
COVERAGE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS TH FRONT
MOVES INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. LOCALIZED MVFR OR EVEN IFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STORMS.
