Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 12:55 PM CDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1255 PM CDT SUN JUN 12 2016 ...18Z AVIATION UPDATE... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 311 AM CDT Sun Jun 12 2016 Strong upper level ridge remains in place across the mid section of the country, including southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks. However, shortwave trough lifts into Arkansas later today undercutting the ridge. This will likely spawn some afternoon and evening convection from Arkansas into the Missouri Ozarks and possibly southeast Kansas. Thunderstorms will be isolated to scattered in nature, with the greatest coverage across southern Missouri. This convection will die off with loss of heating during the evening hours. Airmass remains relatively unchanged, so expect another seasonably hot day across the region, with highs again in the upper 80s to lower 90s. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 311 AM CDT Sun Jun 12 2016 Another shortwave will track across the Plains on Tuesday, flattening the upper level ridge. Although areas remains on the periphery of any stronger forcing, there is a band of stronger midlevel winds that will increase low level vertical shear. Will likely see some isolated to scattered convection once again develop across the area with some stronger storms possible during the afternoon/evening hours and cannot rule out an isolated severe storm. Medium range models show several more shortwaves tracking across northern Missouri from Wednesday into Wednesday night before ridge starts to build back across the plains. Moist and unstable airmass remains in place, so expect more mainly diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms, as the main forcing remains north of the area. It will remain hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s and heat index values approaching 100. By Thursday, upper ridging begins to build back across the Plains, with the ridge continuing to build Friday through Saturday. Ridge axis sets up from the desert southwest into the Upper Mississippi River Valley by the end of the week. Much of the forecast area will remaining on the eastern periphery of the ridge which may help some cooler air drop into the area by Saturday. until then, afternoon heat index values will likely too off near 100 on Thursday and the 90s Friday. Will continue to see low probabilities for diurnally driven convection for this time. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1249 PM CDT Sun Jun 12 2016 Scattered storms may affect the terminals this afternoon. Gusty winds are possible in some of the thunderstorms. Most storms will end with loss of day time heating. VFR conditions expected tonight through Monday morning. && .SGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...Raberding LONG TERM...Raberding AVIATION...Burchfield
