AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1118 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2013

...Significant Risk for Flooding and Strong Storms Overnight...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued AT 1110 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Continue to monitor a convective complex that continues to evolve
and track eastward into eastern Kansas. Winds on the order of 60
to 80 mph have been associated with this complex across south
central Kansas. This storm complex will track east along an
instability and moisture axis that extends into southern Missouri.
Most unstable CAPE was on the order of 3000-5000 J/KG. This along
with favorable 0-3 KM shear vectors support a forward propagating
convective system into the area with the potential of strong if
not damaging winds. The greatest risk for damaging winds will
occur across southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri
generally west of Highway 65.

Unfortunately these storms will bring torrential rainfall rates
and additional rain totals of 1 to 3 inches with locally higher
amounts. Continued development and training storms may evolve into
Tuesday morning.

Any rainfall at this point will be an issue and the potential
exist for significant flash flooding overnight into Tuesday
morning. Areas that normally do not flood will be at risk for
flooding overnight into Tuesday morning. In addition the morning
commute will likely be impacted by flooded roads.

Emergency managers...media and all interests across southeastern
Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks are urged to closely monitor the
latest weather information and potential for flooding.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tonight)
ISSUED AT 246 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible this evening and
overnight, as a frontal system lies over the region. This will be
the primary mode of forcing, as a bigger complex of storms evolves
over northwest Kansas. This feature is being forced by a synoptic
short wave trough, and will be the next significant weather maker
for the Ozarks.

We have better precipitation chances occurring late tonight and
into Tuesday morning, as the northwest Kansas complex eventually
spreads into the Ozarks. Therefore, its quite possible that many
areas could remain dry through tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 246 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Flat ridge will remain in place over the southern CONUS through the
period. The Canadian upper low is expected to transit the base of
the long wave trough over eastern Canada. The stationary front
will remain along the periphery of the upper level ridge to our
southwest through Wednesday providing a mechanism for the warm,
moist air to be lifted isentropicially as the nocturnal low level
jet sets up.

As the Canadian low rounds the base of the trough on Thursday, it
will push yet another surface cold front southward into northern
Missouri. However, as the front pushes into our area, it will once
again become stationary setting up a continuation of our already
wet pattern.

When and where precipitation occurs will be dependent upon a couple
of factors.  One being the time of day that the subtle shorts waves
rotate around the upper level ridge.  These subtle waves will help
to enhance any convection that can fire.  The second factor will be
either the set up of the low level jet for nocturnal convection or
sensible heating for daytime convection.  A combination of any of
these factors could create a situation for heavy rainfall although
the models are hinting more at night time convection mainly during
the overnight hours on Wednesday and Thursday.

Needless to say, temperatures, especially daytime highs, will be a
challenge. For now, will keep temperatures at or slightly below
seasonal normals.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening)
ISSUED AT 815 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

Pilots can expect additional storms to move into the region
overnight bringing areas of MVFR conditions and the potential of
strong thunderstorm winds. IFR conditions will be possible in the
heavier rainfall. Improving flight conditions will return by
Tuesday afternoon.
