AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
634 PM CDT TUE AUG 5 2008
...UPDATE TO AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGES WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE DEAL WITH
TEMPERATURES AND PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. BIG
TEMPERATURE/PRECIP BUST POTENTIAL THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
CURRENTLY...COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS
TO NEAR KANSAS CITY...THEN SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL KANSAS. NOT A
LOT OF CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THE FRONT AS OF YET. TEMPERATURES
AROUND THE CWA A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER THAN YESTERDAY THIS TIME
WITH LOW TO MID 90S AND CLEAR SKIES. MORNING SGF SOUNDING SHOWING
OVER 5000 J/KG CAPES WITH NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION...SO THE
ATMOSPHERE IS PRIMED FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD QUICKLY BECOME
SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. BELIEVE OUR
NORTHERN COUNTIES IN CENTRAL MISSOURI WILL BE THE FIRST TO SEE
THESE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS MOSAIC RADAR SHOWING SOME CELLS
DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI.
FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH THIS EVENING AND THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE. BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE WEDNESDAY
EVENING AS THE FRONT LAYS OUT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. GFS
SHOWING SIGNS OF AN MCS DEVELOPING OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND THEN DROPPING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CWA WEDNESDAY
EVENING. MAY NEED TO WATCH FOR SOME FLASH FLOODING FROM THIS
SYSTEM AS HPC GUIDANCE SHOWING WIDESPREAD HALF INCH QPF AMOUNTS.
GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING PWATS NEAR AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE 2
INCHES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY MORNING. WILL HOLD OFF ON
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW. NIGHT SHIFT WILL NEED TO CONSIDER FOR
THE WEDNESDAY MORNING PACKAGE. ONE OTHER ITEM TO MENTION IS THE
TEMPERATURE FORECASTS FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. WIDE RANGE IN
ADVERTISED MOS MAX TEMPERATURES AS MET GUIDANCE GOING FOR MID 80S
AND MAV MID 90S. CERTAINLY DO NOT THINK WE WILL GET BACK INTO THE
MID 90S WITH PRECIP AND CLOUD COVERAGE...SO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO AND WENT LOW 90S WEDNESDAY AND MID 80S THURSDAY.
BOTH MODELS PUSH FRONT SOUTH FRIDAY MORNING. LOOKING AT FAIRLY DRY
CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW TO
CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY. GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING ANOTHER
DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THIS NORTHWEST FLOW SATURDAY EVENING
INTO SUNDAY AND GFS SHOWS SIGNS ONCE AGAIN OF AN MCS DEVELOPING
OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA/NORTHERN KANSAS...THEN MOVES THE SYSTEM
SOUTHEAST INTO WESTERN MISSOURI/SOUTHEAST KANSAS. WENT WITH LOW
CHANCE POPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY.
CLAYCOMB
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAF PACKAGE...PRIMARY CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS
WILL BE THE PROSPECTS FOR CONVECTION NEAR THE JLN AND SGF
AERODROMES. LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH FROM NORTHERN
MISSOURI. SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI
THIS EVENING. MOST...IF NOT ALL...OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY
NORTHEAST OF THE AERODROMES. THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY SHOULD
MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN
EPISODIC BOUTS OF STORMS. FOR NOW HAVE USED VCTS TO COVER THIS AND
LET FUTURE FORECASTS REFINE TIMING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE
RULE EXCEPT WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS.
