AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
332 PM CDT TUE JUL 6 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 316 PM CDT TUE JUL 6 2010/

MAIN FORECAST FOCUS IN THIS PACKAGE WILL CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
INTO THE END OF THE WEEK.

CURRENTLY...AN AREA OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING ALONG A PER
FRONTAL TROUGH AND AHEAD OF A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE ACROSS
EASTERN KANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY SPREADS TO THE SOUTHWEST INTO
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WHERE MORE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS DEVELOPED
IN AN AREA OF INCREASED INSTABILITY. WITH RAINFALL PRETTY MUCH
SITTING OVER THE SAME AREA ALL DAY THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS
SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS REALLY LIMITED TEMPERATURES TODAY AS EARLY
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY IN THE 70S ACROSS THE WESTERN
CWA. THE EASTERN CWA EXPERIENCED MORE SUNSHINE WHICH ALLOWED
TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 80S TO THE LOWER 90S EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON.

AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS DEVELOPED FROM THE CONVECTION OUT WEST AND
IS PUSHING EAST ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS OUTFLOW IS
WEAK BUT MAY BE ABLE TO GENERATE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO WEST OF
THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 65
CORRIDOR THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR VECTORS WILL BE ORIENTED IN A
DESTRUCTIVE MATTER SO DO NOT EXPECTED MUCH ACTIVITY TO BE ABLE TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE WILL HOWEVER BE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME DIURNAL
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA...AS
INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED HERE BUT IS STILL LIMITED WITH THE
HEATING OF THE DAY. EXPECT ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY THAT IS ABLE TO
DEVELOP TO DISSIPATE BY THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

ALSO EXPECT A WEAKENING TREND IN THE CONVECTION ACROSS THE FAR
WESTERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY EXPECTED
TO DISSIPATE BY THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. THERE COULD BE SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...HOWEVER EXPECT MOST
LOCATIONS TO REMAIN DRY OVERNIGHT.

AN AREA OF UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP A
SURFACE COLD FRONT WELL NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AN
TOMORROW. THERE IS A TROPICAL PLUME OF MOISTURE PUSHING OUT OF THE
GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO RIDE THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH INTO THE AREA
TOMORROW. WITH THE INCREASED MOISTURE AND LIFT...SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
AREA INTO THE EVENING HOURS. DO NOT EXPECT A SHIELD OF WIDE SPREAD
RAINFALL...BUT DO EXPECT DECENT COVERAGE IN RAINFALL AS MULTIPLE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
NORTH PLAINS AND WILL FLATTEN THE RIDGE AND SEND THE COLD FRONT
INTO THE AREA. EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES
THROUGH THE AREA. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
AND FLOODING DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS THIS FRONT INTERACTS WITH A
VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
RAINFALL TO MOVE OVER THE AREA. THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE
LIMITED DUE TO LIMITED INSTABILITY.

SHOULD SEE SOMEWHAT OF A BREAK FROM THE WET WEATHER THIS WEEKEND
AS DRIER AIR SPREADS INTO THE AREA. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL
CHANGE THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK AS WE WILL GO FROM A SOUTHWEST
FLOW TO A WEST TO NORTHWEST PATTERN. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL CHANCES
WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE
THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW INTO THE AREA.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 1800Z TAFS...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO DOMINATE LOCAL
AIRFIELDS THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD WITH MVFR POSSIBLE BRIEFLY IN
LOCALLY HEAVIER RAIN IN THUNDERSTORMS. A WEAK AND STALLING COLD
FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES SOUTHWEST
INTO EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN
AND DISSIPATE. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP WARM AND MOIST AIR INTO OUR REGION
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...DOMINATING THE WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE
TAF PERIOD. A SOMEWHAT MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF CONVECTION OVER
LOUISIANA ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
MOVE NORTHWARD TONIGHT...GIVING THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND EXTREME
SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ANOTHER SHOT AT RAIN SHOWERS AND TSTM ACTIVITY
TOMORROW.
