AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
932 PM CDT THU JUL 8 2010

.UPDATE...
/ISSUED 925 PM CDT THU JUL 8 2010/

CONVECTION HAD BECOME FOCUSED ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE WEAK
FRONT THAT STRETCHED FROM NEAR JOPLIN TO ROLLA. THE ACTIVITY WAS
ENHANCED BY SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT WITHIN THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THE
250 MB JET. TRAINING CELLS WERE PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL
RATES IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES PER HOUR. WHILE FLASH FLOODING HAS
BEEN LOCALIZED IN NATURE IT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT. UNOFFICIAL
REPORTS IN EXCESS OF FIVE INCHES OF RAIN FELL IN SEYMOUR CAUSING
SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND POCKETS OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL TO CONTINUE THE
REMAINDER OF THE EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS A MID
LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WITHIN THE DEEP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME
REMAINS OVER THE AREA. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT
OVERNIGHT.

NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FUNNEL CLOUDS WERE RECEIVED EARLIER THIS
EVENING ALONG A LINE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SHOWERS FROM CHEROKEE
COUNTY KANSAS INTO BARTON COUNTY MISSOURI. THIS CONVECTION
DEVELOPED ALONG THE SAGGING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THESE SHOWERS HAVE
SINCE DIMINISHED AND THE RISK FOR FUNNEL CLOUDS HAS ENDED.

FOSTER

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...

HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING
REMAINS THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE NEAR TERM FORECAST...WITH
IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.

THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY DRAPED ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING INTO FRIDAY MORNING.  A
STEADY STREAM OF TROPICAL AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW INTO THE AREA
AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF TWO
INCHES...HIGH FREEZING LEVELS...AND NEAR MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES
CONTINUE TO MARK AN ATMOSPHERE PRIMED FOR EFFICIENT RAINFALL
RATES. HIGH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S AND CLOUD COVER
OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW LITTLE COOLING TONIGHT. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO
MID 70S ARE EXPECTED. AFTERNOON HIGHS TOMORROW WILL STRUGGLE TO
REACH THE MID 80S WITH EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION.

TURNING TO THE WEST...A BROAD AREA OF RIDGING CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY
OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST OUT
OF COLORADO INTO KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.  A SECOND SHORTWAVE TROUGH CAN
BE OBSERVED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY MOVING OUT OF SOUTHERN CANADA
INTO THE DAKOTAS.  THESE TWO TROUGHS WILL WORK TO PROGRESS THE STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST ON FRIDAY.  POPS HAVE BEEN
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BEYOND FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE
SOUTH WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.  THE RIDGE TO THE WEST WILL AMPLIFY
AND SUPPORT AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE IN THE WAKE OF
THE PASSING SHORTWAVE TROUGHS.

NORTHERLY FLOW ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH WILL BRING AN END
TO PRECIPITATION AND MOVE A DRYER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION FOR THE
WEEKEND.  SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WARMING
INTO THE MID 80S ON SATURDAY.

KARDELL

&&

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE OUT OF THE WEST TO NORTHWEST WHICH WILL
ALLOW ANOTHER SURFACE BOUNDARY TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY.  HAVE BUMPED UP POPS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS
THIS BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH.   MAY HAVE SOME LINGERING CONVECTION
ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO TUESDAY/TUESDAY EVENING TIME FRAME AND
WILL KEEP LOW POPS GOING THERE.  TEMPS LOOK CLOSE TO NORMAL VALUES
ALTHOUGH HAVE TRIMMED BACK A BIT ON MONDAYS HIGHS WITH THE CLOUD
COVER/RAIN CHANCES INCREASING.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 615 PM CDT THU JUL 8 2010/

THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT AS A WEAK FRONT SETTLES SOUTH ACROSS THE OZARKS. SHOWERS

MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS AND AREAS OF LIGHT FOG MAY DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT IN FLIGHT
CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
