What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 13, 2:41 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 2:41 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
241 AM CDT MON JUL 13 2009

.DISCUSSION...

FOR THE THIRD NIGHT IN A ROW...CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG A LOW
LEVEL ZONE OF BAROCLINICITY POSITIONED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS INTO
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.  STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAD FORMED INTO
A BROKEN NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LINE...AND WILL IMPACT PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS MORNING.  THE
ENVIRONMENT OVER THE REGION FEATURED MIXED LAYER CAPES ON THE ORDER
OF 2000 J/KG...WITH ABOUT 30-35 KNOTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR.
LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND
GUSTS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT THIS MORNING...FOR AREAS MAINLY ALONG AND
SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM NEVADA TO WEST PLAINS.

FOR THIS REASON...I HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS PLACED OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA.  CENTRAL MISSOURI WILL LIKELY
REMAIN DRY TODAY AS THIS REGION WILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT MID
LEVEL DRYING.  THIS DRIER AIR ALONG WITH COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES
FROM CONVECTIVE DEBRIS WILL ELIMINATE THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON PULSE
THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL MISSOURI.

FOR TONIGHT...CENTRAL MISSOURI MAY FINALLY GET SOME CONVECTION AS
THE WRF SOLUTION SUGGESTS THAT THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SHIFT A
LITTLE FURTHER NORTH THIS EVENING.  PARCEL MOVEMENT PERPENDICULAR TO
THIS ZONE OF BAROCLINITY WILL ALLOW THEM TO REACH THE LEVEL OF FREE
CONVECTION...MOST LIKELY OVER EAST CENTRAL KANSAS...INTO CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.  THE GFS DOES NOT SHOW THIS SIGNAL...AND HAS
STRUGGLED WITH THIS CONVECTIVE REGIME OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
NIGHTS...THEREFORE HAVE POP VALUES LEANED CLOSER TO THE WRF GUIDANCE
FOR TONIGHT.

AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY...A MAJOR SYNOPTIC CHANGE WILL OCCUR AT THE
SURFACE...AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL FINALLY SHIFT NORTHWARD INTO
THE CORN BELT.  THIS WILL ALLOW MUCH WARMER AIR TO SPREAD INTO THE
ENTIRE CWA...CAUSING AFTERNOON READINGS TO WARM BACK INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 90S.  A HEAT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED ON TUESDAY...WILL ALLOW
LATER SHIFTS TO DETERMINE WHICH COUNTIES WILL NEED THE ADVISORY.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE A
CHANGE AS THE SUMMERTIME HIGH RETROGRADES INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
NORTHERLY FLOW WILL EVOLVE OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AND OZARKS
REGION...AND WILL ALLOW A DRY CONTINENTAL AIRMASS TO ADVECT OVER THE
AREA...CREATING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND MUCH LESS HUMIDITY.  AS A
MATTER OF FACT...AFTERNOON HIGHS ARE NOW FORECASTED TO BE IN THE MID
80S THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

THERE MAY BE AN EPISODE OF STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION AS THIS
CONTINENTAL AIR APPROACHES IN THE FORM OF A COLD FRONT.  WITH THE
SUMMERTIME AIR AND ITS RICH MOISTURE LEVELS IN PLACE...THIS FRONT
COULD PRODUCE A POTENT ROUND OF NORTHWEST FLOW CONVECTION...SOMETIME
DURING THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY TIME FRAME.

.AVIATION...

THERE ARE MULTIPLE AVIATION CONCERNS INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. A
BAND OF STRATUS IS INDEED BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL
MISSOURI. LATEST SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE HAS THIS DECK EXPANDING
INTO THE KSGF AREA...WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVEN WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW
ALONG THE PLATEAU. CEILINGS WITH THIS DECK WILL BE IN THE IFR
RANGE. AM STILL NOT CERTAIN THIS DECK WILL REALLY GET ESTABLISHED
AT KSGF AS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHWEST
MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT. THEREFORE WENT WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR IFR
CEILINGS AT KSGF. THINK THE LOW CLOUDS WILL STAY OUT OF KJLN. THE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT BOTH KJLN AND KSGF LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING. WENT WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR
THESE STORMS AS TIMING IS STILL SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION. ONE FINAL
IMPACT WILL BE HAZE...WHICH MAY DROP VISIBILITIES INTO THE HIGHER
END MVFR RANGE OVERNIGHT AT KSGF.
