AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
701 PM CDT WED MAY 7 2008

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG STORM SYSTEM
ROTATING OVER SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH DEEP
MOISTURE AND HAS GENERATED WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF
OUR FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST RAIN SO
FAR TODAY HAS BEEN FOCUSED ALONG THE 850 MB BOUNDARY EXTENDING
ACROSS CENTRAL MO INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF
ONE TO TWO INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
REPORTED IN THESE AREAS...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS CONTINUING TO
DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND PROPAGATING NORTHEAST TOWARD
SOUTHWEST MO.

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WITH RAINFALL POTENTIAL TONIGHT. BASED ON
CURRENT RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS AS WELL AS MODEL/HPC QPF...WILL
BE CARRYING HIGH PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE EVENING AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS UPPER LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST TOWARD SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN MO. COULD POTENTIALLY SEE OVER 4 INCHES OF PRECIP ALONG
AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44 WITH WIDESPREAD ONE TO THREE INCHES
OVER THE REST OF THE AREA. THUS WILL BE CONTINUING THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING OVER THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA.

ONCE THE UPPER LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST OF THE OZARKS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND SURFACE LOW SHIFTS INTO SOUTHEAST MO...WILL CONTINUE TO
TAPER POPS FROM WEST TO EAST WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGE BRIEFLY BUILDING
INTO THE AREA.

PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL QUICKLY USHER IN ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA INTO THE
OZARKS ON FRIDAY. STILL NOT SEEING NEARLY AS MUCH MOISTURE
INTERACTING WITH THIS DISTURBANCE. HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE 20-30
PERCENT PRECIP CHANCES.

NEXT UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. MOISTURE RETURN
LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER WITH THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER EXPECT MOST OF
THE PRECIP TO HOLD OFF UNTIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER BREAK IN PRECIP CHANCES ON MONDAY...BEFORE
A LARGE TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S. IN
RESPONSE TO BUILDING RIDGE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. THE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE DEEPENING TROUGH SO WILL
EXPECT COOLER AND WETTER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 0000 UTC TAFS...LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH
SOUTHERN MO TONIGHT. PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND MVFR OCCASIONALLY IFR VISIBILITY IN HEAVIER
RAIN WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING. AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY FROM THE
REGION...EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF TO LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE OVERNIGHT WITH LOWER CEILINGS MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR
CEILINGS. EXPECT THE MVFR CEILINGS TO PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE DAY
THU...GRADUALLY SCATTERING OUT OVER WESTERN MO DURING THE
AFTERNOON. DSA
