Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 3:24 AM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
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. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...Raberding LONG TERM...Raberding AVIATION...Foster
