AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
635 PM CDT Thu Jun 18 2015

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT THU JUN 18 2015

The center of the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill was located in northeastern
Oklahoma to the west of Fort Smith Arkansas at mid afternoon. This system
has begun to show a slow but steady track to the east which correlates
to trends reflected in the short term models. This nudge to the east
has been helped in part of by a minor shortwave tracking across
the upper Midwest.

With that said the rain shield north of the remnant circulation
will spread eastward across southern Missouri this evening and
into the overnight hours. Heavy to torrential rainfall rates
supported by the deep tropical airmass and considerable residence
time will result in a rapid accumulation of rainfall.

While most of the Missouri Ozarks and far southeastern Kansas will
receive moderate to heavy rainfall amounts the axis of heaviest
rainfall will impact far southern Missouri into the eastern Ozarks
or generally along and south of I-44.

Models are in general agreement taking Bill slowly but steadily
east through Friday with rain tapering off from the west with
time. The heaviest rainfall Friday will fall across far south
central Missouri and the eastern Ozarks. Most rain will end Friday
evening.

Storm total amounts through Friday will generally range from 2 to
4 inches with local amounts of 5 to 7 inches. Again the highest
totals will stretch from far southern Missouri into the eastern
Ozarks.

We will be monitoring for any slowing of Bill overnight which
would enhance rainfall amounts. In addition rainfall associated
with remnant tropical systems can increase during night time
hours. If these factors were occur locally higher amounts than
forecast could occur.

The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire area
through Friday and the eastern Ozarks into Friday night. The watch
may be eventually canceled for Friday night if current model
trends continue.

With increasing low level wind shear we will be monitoring for a
isolated tornado risk tonight a but this threat appears to be
very low.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT THU JUN 18 2015

Drier weather will return this weekend into early next week as an
upper level ridge builds over the region in the wake of Bill.
Seasonably hot and very humid conditions are expected. Cannot rule
out low chances of convection at times through the extended period
but organized rainfall is not expected through the middle of
next week. Rain chances could increase late next week as the upper
pattern amplifies and a front drops southward.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening)
Issued at 635 PM CDT THU JUN 18 2015

The remnants of Tropical Storm Bill will continue to impact the
taf sites through much of this taf period. The back edge of the
rain is currently just west of Joplin and latest radar trends and
short term models indicate the heavier rains may push east of the
KJLN site between 03Z-06Z with just lighter rain through the remainder
of the night. Widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities
will be common through the overnight hours. As the low level jet
strengthens this evening there could be some enhancement in the
precipitation shield which would have most impact at the KSGF and
KBBG sites with lower visibilities in the heavy rainfall. The main
circulation will push into southeast Missouri Friday afternoon
with the rain ending from west to east. So expect some improvement
in flight conditions after 18Z Friday.
