AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
313 PM CDT SAT JUL 23 2011

.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
MISSOURI INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON...AS
TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S...TEMPERATURES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI HAVE REACHED
THE 100 DEGREE MARK. SLIGHTLY WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO
IN PLACE ACROSS THESE AREAS RESULTING IN MORE OF A CAP ACROSS
THESE AREAS. EXPECT THE CAP TO HOLD ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA
TODAY...WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT REMAINING A
POSSIBILITY. GREATEST CHANCE WILL BE GENERALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 65
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. WIDE SPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
EXPECTED...A FEW STRONG WIND GUSTS MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
STRONGER STORMS.

A COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS NEBRASKA AND IOWA THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DRIFT TO THE SOUTH THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL VEER AND
INSTABILITY WILL WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AS THE CAP INCREASES WITH THE
LOSS OF DAY TIME HEATING. HOWEVER...A FEW ISOLATED STORMS MAY
STILL BE CAPABLE OF DRIFTING INTO THE FAR NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE
DISSIPATING.

THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON THE TRICKY SIDE FOR SUNDAY.
WITH POSSIBLE MORNING CONVECTION...MORE CLOUD COVER MAY BE
PRESENT ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...WITH THE VERY WARM AIRMASS AND
DRY SURFACE CONDITIONS...TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER QUICKLY WITH
ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS. THEREFORE...HAVE GONE MUCH WARMER THAN
GUIDANCE WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO TODAYS READINGS. GENERALLY
EXPECT HIGHS TO WARM INTO THE MIDDLE 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES
WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE 98 TO 108 RANGE. WILL CONTINUE THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AND HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH 7 PM TUESDAY.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT SET UP FROM
THE CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. AS REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES. AT THIS TIME EXPECT
DEVELOPMENT TO BE MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. A FEW STRONG
STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

A WEAK COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO SLIDE SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THIS WILL BRING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO THE REGION.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK OVER THE REGION BY
THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS WILL PLACE THE AREA WITHIN A
REGION OF NORTHWEST FLOW ON TUESDAY. WITH THE AREA ON THE EASTERN
EDGE OF THE RIDGE...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME PULSE TYPE STORMS OR AN
MCS RIDGING DOWN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ON TUESDAY. BY MID WEEK THE
RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST...DIRECTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND
OZARKS. THIS WILL BE MARKED WITH A RETURN TO HOT CONDITIONS FOR
THE AREA. ANOTHER FRONT MAY THEN DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE OZARKS
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA.
