AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
319 PM CDT SUN JUN 2 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CDT SUN JUN 2 2013

PERSISTENT STRATOCUMULUS DECK AND LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANADIAN AIRMASS OVERSPREADING THE AREA HAVE
HELD TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE
TRENDS...EXPECT THESE CLOUDS TO DISSIPATE FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL USE
THE NAM 850 MB THERMAL TROUGH AXIS AS A ROUGH GUIDE FOR CLEARING SKY
COVER THROUGH TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY.

EXPECT TEMPERATURES TONIGHT TO AVERAGE AROUND 50 DEGREES. WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW LOW RECORDS FALL...ESPECIALLY AT
JOPLIN WHERE THE CURRENT RECORD IS 49.

WINDS GRADUALLY SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON
AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS TO THE EAST OF THE OZARKS AND A LEE SIDE
TROUGH BEGINS TO DEEPEN OVER EASTERN COLORADO. WITH SUCH A COOL
START...WILL GO WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CDT SUN JUN 2 2013

HAVE STARTED PRECIPITATION CHANCES LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
MORNING OVER OUR EXTREME WESTERN CWA IN REPSONSE TO INCREASING
MOISTURE ADVECTION / ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING LOW
OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. OTHERWISE STAYED PRETTY CLOSE TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST...AND CONTINUED PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH
FRIDAY...WITH HIGHEST CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT DURING THE COLD
FRONT PASSAGE. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLOW ITS SOUTHWARD
PROGRESS AND HANG OUT OVER ARKANSAS ON THURSDAY AS IT BECOMES MORE PARALLEL
TO UPPER LEVEL ZONAL FLOW...SO EXPECT SOME OVERRUNNING POTENTIAL
DURING THIS TIME.

FOR TUESDAY...WE CONTINUE TO BE OUTLOOKED FOR A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS OVER OUR EXTREME WESTERN COUNTIES. SEE SPC
DAY 3 DISCUSSION FOR DETAILS.

GFS/GEM/ECMWF BRING ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST NEXT WEEKEND. THE ECMWF SPREADS THE
PRECIPITATION FURTHER SOUTH INTO OUR AREA WHILE THE GFS AND GEM
KEEP THE PRECIP NORTH OF OUR AREA. WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED SOME
LOWER END POPS FOR THIS SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1210 PM CDT SUN JUN 2 2013

FOR THE KSGF/KJLN/KBBG TAFS...LARGE AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS ARE
OCCURRING AND LINE UP FAIRLY WELL WITH LOW LEVEL/850MB THERMAL
TROUGHING OVER THE REGION. WHILE A SFC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS EDGES EAST INTO THE REGION TONIGHT...COOLER LOW
LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY SHIFT EAST SLOWLY...SO WILL GO WITH A
MOSTLY PERSISTENCE FORECAST WITH MVFR CEILINGS FOR ALL TAF
SITES...ALTHOUGH WE COULD SEE SOME LOW END VFR CAT CEILINGS WITH
LIMITED SFC WARMING OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THERE SHOULD BE SOME
IMPROVEMENT/DISSIPATION OF CEILINGS LATE IN THE TAF
PERIOD...PARTICULARLY AT KJLN...AS THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH
SHIFTS EAST.
