AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1212 PM CDT SAT NOV 6 2010

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH A WARMING
TREND AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THIS WEEKEND INTO THE START OF THE
WORK WEEK. THEN ATTENTION TURNS TO PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING
THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE WEEK AS A COUPLE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION.

CURRENTLY...RIDGE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER THE
REGION ALONG WITH A CANADIAN AIRMASS. AS A RESULT A CHILLY
MORNING IS OCCURRING EARLY THIS MORNING AS TEMPERATURES ARE
GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 20S TO THE LOWER 30S. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
CONTINUE TO FALL A FEW MORE DEGREES THIS MORNING WITH LOWS IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 20S EXPECTED AREA WIDE. WILL CONTINUE THE FREEZE
WARNING AS IS UNTIL 9 AM THIS MORNING...AS A HARD FREEZE IS
ON GOING.

THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST TONIGHT WITH SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES SHIFTING INTO THE AREA. WITH THE HIGH OVER THE
AREA WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ON THE WEAK SIDE. HOWEVER...WINDS
MAY BEGIN TO PICK UP SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN CWA LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE HIGH EXITS TO THE EAST. WITH THE VERY DRY
CONDITIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA...THERE WILL BE AN
ELEVATED FIRE RISK ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA WHERE THE WINDS WILL
PICK UP SOME. HOWEVER...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN WELL BELOW RED FLAG
CRITERIA...SEE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL REALLY KICK IN TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH
WINDS INCREASING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. BREEZY AND GUSTY
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED SUNDAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA.
THESE WINDS WILL BRING A NICE WARM UP AS TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
60S TO THE LOWER 70S ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE RIDGE OF
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST AND WILL
REMAIN OVER THE GULF STATES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. AS A RESULT
MOISTURE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE LONG WAY AROUND THROUGH TEXAS AND
OKLAHOMA TO RETURN TO THE REGION. THIS WILL BE A SLOW PROCESS AND
FEEL MODELS ARE WAY TOO FAST IN RETURN MOISTURE TO THE AREA ON
SUNDAY AND HAVE DROPPED DEWPOINTS QUITE A BIT FROM WHAT THE MODEL
DEPICT. THESE WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE INCREASING
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INTRODUCE HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TO
THE AREA...ESPECIALLY THE WESTERN CWA WHERE THE STRONGER WINDS
WILL OCCUR. AGAIN REFER TO THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR MORE
DETAILS.

BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO USHER WARMER TEMPERATURES
INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY. HIGHS AREA EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE
MIDDLE 70S ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA. MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO RETURN
TO THE AREA...BUT MODELS ARE LIKELY STILL A LITTLE FAST AND HAVE
AGAIN UNDER CUT DEWPOINT VALUES SOME. THE DRIEST CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA AS THE MOISTURE WILL BE LAST TO
RETURN TO THESE AREAS. WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS THERE COULD
AGAIN BE HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. AGAIN
REFER TO THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

THE WARMER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AS HIGHS ONCE
AGAIN WARM INTO THE 70S. THEN THERE WILL BE A COUPLE UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEMS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION DURING THE MIDDLE
TO THE END OF THE WEEK. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL DIFFER WITH EACH
OTHER WITH REGARDS OF THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THESE SYSTEMS. THE 00Z
GFS APPEARS TO BE TOO FAST WITH THE SYSTEM...SO HAVE GENERALLY LEANED
MORE TOWARDS THE 00Z ECMWF.

EXPECT THE FIRST UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO PUSH ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS INTO THE DAKOTAS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE
MAIN UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN TO THE WEST
AND NORTH OF THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL PUSH A WEAK COLD FRONT
INTO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT REALLY COOL
THAT MUCH BEHIND THIS WEAK FRONT. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT ON WEDNESDAY BUT
NOT SURE HOW WIDESPREAD THEY WILL BE SINCE THE BETTER UPPER LEVEL
DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA. THE FRONT
SHOULD ALSO STALL ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THERE REALLY
WILL NOT BE MUCH TO KICK IT OUT OF THE AREA. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AND INTERACTS WITH
THE FRONT.

THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY PUSH THE FRONT TO THE NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND KEEP SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS
CHANCES POSSIBLE AGAIN. THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN PUSH A STRONG COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY...WITH ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT. BEHIND THE FRONT COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL
SPREAD OVER THE AREA FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...

THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN THE MORNING AND GUSTY WINDS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE OUT OF THE SOUTH THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.  DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST
WILL INTENSIFY THE SOUTHERLY FLOW.  OVERNIGHT...THESE INCREASED
WINDS WILL BE HELD ALOFT BY COOLING TEMPERATURES AT THE
SURFACE...MAKING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR PROBABLE AROUND AND A FEW
HOURS BEFORE SUNRISE.  WINDS AT THE SURFACE ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME
GUSTY OVER JOPLIN BY MID MORNING.

KARDELL

.FIRE WEATHER...

WILL KEEP THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS IS FOR
AREAS WEST OF A GALENA TO MARSHFIELD TO VERSAILLES LINE. A VERY
DRY LOW LEVEL AIR MASS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREAS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF TO
THE EAST...INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION BY SUNDAY.
MODELS APPEAR TO BE WAY TO FAST IN RETURNING MOISTURE TO THE
REGION AS THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE GULF
STATES. VERY LOW MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE THEREFORE
EXPECTED BOTH TODAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH SOME LOCATIONS
POSSIBLY FALLING BELOW 20 PERCENT.

ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...THEY SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SUNDAY WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY AS
PRESSURE GRADIENTS TIGHTEN UP ACROSS THE REGION. SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 15 TO 25 MPH LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
WESTERN MISSOURI...WITH GUSTS OVER 30 MPH. THIS COMBINED WITH LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES MAY LEAD TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ACROSS THIS AREA. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI ON SUNDAY...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS AREA
WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE THE LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITIES...POSSIBLY
BELOW 20 PERCENT.

WITH STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS...MOISTURE WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN
TO THE AREA...BUT COULD BE SLOW TO RETURN TO THE AREA ON MONDAY
TOO...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL ONCE AGAIN OCCUR ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON MONDAY AS A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS OVER THE AREA. THESE CONDITIONS MAY LEAD
TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS MAINLY THE EASTERN
OZARKS MONDAY AFTERNOON.

ONE FINAL NOTE IS THE DRY FUEL MOISTURES. NOT ONLY ARE PRAIRIE
GRASSES NEARLY CURED DUE TO THE RECENT FREEZES...100 AND 1000 HOUR
FUELS ARE ALSO RUNNING ABNORMALLY LOW ACROSS CENTRAL
MISSOURI...INCLUDING THE MARK TWAIN NATIONAL FORECAST. THE
COMBINATION OF THE DRY FUELS...WINDS...AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES CAN RESULT IN THE RAPID SPREAD AND GROWTH OF WILD
FIRES.
