What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Dec 13, 11:34 AM CST, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 13, 11:34 AM CST, 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1134 AM CST SAT DEC 13 2008
...UPDATE TO AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
CROSS POLAR FLOW DIRECTLY INTO THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES WILL CREATE
SOME WINTRY WEATHER FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI
OZARKS. AN ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL SLIDE DOWN THE NORTH AMERICAN
CONTINENT...EVENTUALLY WEDGING INTO THE OZARKS REGION SUNDAY NIGHT.
A DRASTIC DROP IN TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL CAUSE RAIN TO
TRANSITION INTO FREEZING RAIN...EVENTUALLY CHANGING OVER TO A PERIOD
OF SLEET AND SNOW.
WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR FREEZING RAIN
WILL BE SHORT LIVED...DUE TO THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE
FRONT...ALONG WITH THE DEPTH OF THE AIRMASS. SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI
MAY EXPERIENCE HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF FREEZING RAIN...CAUSING MORE
IMPACT ON ELEVATED SURFACES. SLEET AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF A
DUSTING TO TWO INCHES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...CAUSING ROADWAYS TO
BECOME SLICK.
SHORT TERM (TODAY - MONDAY)...
WIND SPEEDS WILL EXCEED ADVISORY CRITERIA TODAY AND PROBABLY SUNDAY
AS WELL. SOUTH WINDS SUSTAINED AT 30 MPH AT TIMES CAN NOT BE RULED
OUT...WITH GUSTS PUSHING 40 MPH. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL PUMP SOME
WARMER AIR BACK INTO THE OZARKS. AS A MATTER OF FACT...READINGS
WILL CLIMB INTO THE 50S TODAY...WHILE 60S CAN NOT BE RULED OUT FOR
SUNDAY.
IM GOING TO KEEP POPS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ON THE LOW SIDE. THE
GULF OF MEXICO TOOK A POUNDING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...LEAVING A 40 DEW POINT AIRMASS AS FAR SOUTH AS THE CENTRAL
GULF BUOYS. THEREFORE DESPITE SOUTH WINDS...WHAT NORMALLY WOULD BE
A MOISTURE ADVECTION REGIME...WILL ONLY PUMP BACK CONTINENTAL AIR
FOR A WHILE. EVENTUALLY THE GULF WILL RECOVER...AND BETTER MOISTURE
IS FORECASTED TO TRANSPORT BACK IN DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY.
WITH THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE COMES AN INCREASE IN
INSTABILITY...SETTING THE STAGE FOR A PERIOD OF THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY
NIGHT. GRANTED...INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE VERY MARGINAL...BUT WIND
FIELDS WILL BE OUT OF CONTROL...HELPING TO DYNAMICALLY ENHANCE
UPDRAFTS. I WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
WITHIN THE HWO.
COLLABORATION WITH HPC AND A FEW OF OUR SURROUNDING OFFICES RESULTED
IN USING THE WRF TIMING AND POSITIONING OF THE FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY. THIS SOLUTION HAS A MORE PROGRESSIVE COMPONENT TO
IT...WHILE PUSHING IT FURTHER SOUTH INTO ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI. BASICALLY ALMOST EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A WINDOW OF
FREEZING RAIN SHORTLY AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST ONE TO TWO HOURS OF FREEZING RAIN...FOLLOWED BY ONE TO THREE
HOURS OF SLEET AND SNOW. LIGHTER ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR OVER
SOUTHEAST KANSAS WHERE A DRIER AIRMASS WILL EXIST. MEANWHILE...THE
EASTERN OZARKS COULD HAVE HIGHER IMPACTS DUE TO THE HEAVIER FREEZING
RAIN AMOUNTS EXPECTED.
THE BULK OF THIS MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE SHIFTED EAST OF THE
REGION BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
LONG TERM (TUESDAY - FRIDAY)...
THE FORECAST FOR THIS TIME PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE VERY UNCERTAIN. A
FAST ZONAL REGIME WILL LIKELY FACILITATE MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES TO
MIGRATE ACROSS THE REGION. THESE WAVES WILL CAUSE PERIODS OF LIFT
AND PRECIPITATION TO OCCUR. WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW...REGARDS THE
TIMING OF THESE SWIFT MOVING SHORTWAVES...AND HOW MUCH LIFT WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.
SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER IS THAT THE GULF WILL BE CHARGED AS
SOUTHERLY TRAJECTORIES OCCUR OVER THIS WATER BODY THROUGH NEXT
WEEK. THEREFORE IF PERHAPS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL WAVE DEVELOPS...THERE
WILL BE LOADS OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO
OCCUR.
ONE FINAL ITEM TO POINT OUT...I DONT THINK THE MODELS ARE HANDLING
THE POSITIONING OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS BEYOND MONDAY VERY WELL.
YESTERDAY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF WERE RETURNING SOUTHERLY WINDS BY
LATE TUESDAY. THE MODELS ARE NOT QUITE DOING THAT IN TODAYS
RUNS...BUT STILL ERODES THE AIRMASS BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHICH IS
PROBABLY STILL TOO SOON. BETTER DETAILS REGARDING TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR WITH FUTURE MODEL RUNS.
CRAMER
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE...THE MAIN AVIATION PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT
24 HOURS WILL BE VERY STRONG WIND FIELDS IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE.
OVER THE PAST HOUR...WINDS HAVE GUSTED OUT OF THE SOUTH TO 46 KTS
AND 47 KTS AT KJLN AND KFSK RESPECTIVELY. WINDS AT SGF HAVE BEEN A
BIT LIGHTER BUT ARE STILL GUSTING OVER 30 KTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
DO SO THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE SHEAR LAYER
ARE SIMILAR IN DIRECTION TO THE SURFACE...180 TO 200 DEGREES...AND
SLIGHTLY STRONGER WITH A 50 TO 60 KTS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. THEREFORE...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST FOR
THE DURATION OF THE TAF.
A LAYER OF SCATTERED STRATOCUMULUS HAS BEGUN TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO
