AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
324 AM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 0322 AM CDT FRI AUG 07 2015

Convection has developed over southwestern Missouri fueled by a
shortwave aloft and modest low level jet/moisture transport. HRRR
and RAP has good handle on this and pushes it southeast into south
central Missouri shortly after 12Z and should weaken and dissipate
through midday. After that, upper level high over the southern
plains and southwest conus will expand northeast towards the
Ozarks later today and tonight. This will be the beginning of
warming temperatures. Expect mainly sunny skies by this afternoon
which will aid in the rise. Expect warmest readings across
southeast Kansas into southwest Missouri where highs will be in
the lower to middle 90s, and just middle 80s over the eastern
Ozarks. Heat index values will flirt with advisory criteria for a
few hours this afternoon over southeast Kansas and southwest
Missouri, but will hold off on any headlines. A warm and humid
night is in store tonight with lows in the lower to middle 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 0322 AM CDT FRI AUG 07 2015

Main forecast concern in this time frame is heat and heat index
values for both Saturday and Sunday and the need for any heat
related headlines. Upper ridge firmly in place across the Ozarks
both days. The hottest days looks to be Sunday with heat index
values in the 105 to 110 degree range. will likely need advisories
area-wide Sunday and perhaps only the western half of the forecast
area Saturday.

Medium range models continue to advertise a shortwave breaking down
the northern extent of the ridge Sunday night and Monday allowing
for a frontal boundary to make into the area. This will bring rain
chances back into the forecast, with the better chances across
central Missouri. It will also help cool temperatures off. This
wave should be east of the area later Monday with northwest flow
and surface high pressure nudging into the area for Tuesday
through Thursday, for cooler and quieter weather.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 1130 PM CDT THU AUG 06 2015

VFR conditions at area terminals will persist much of the
overnight. However changes are anticipated overnight as scattered
showers and thunderstorms develop from southeastern Kansas into
southwestern Missouri north of a warm front. This could result in
thunderstorms in the terminal vicinities and intervals of MVFR
conditions. The scattered storms will diminish by midday Friday as
the warm front lifts north. Expect an increase in southerly winds
by Friday afternoon.
