Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 5:58 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 558 PM CDT THU AUG 25 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 246 PM CDT Thu Aug 25 2016 A surface boundary was located from southeast Kansas into northern Missouri early this afternoon. Instability has developed south and east of the boundary with surface based CAPES of 3000-4000 j/kg over the Ozarks. 0-6 bulk shear was between 30-40kts. Main focus over the short term period will be with convection potential, especially over our northwestern 1/3 of the CWA. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 246 PM CDT Thu Aug 25 2016 For the remainder of this afternoon and tonight, we are anticipating some scattered convection to begin firing up shortly over extreme southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks. More organized convection is expected to our north and west again tonight. PW values along the front to our northwest tonight will be between 1.7 and 1.9 in. and our surrounding WFO neighbors to our north and west will be issuing a flash flood watch for tonight, given the already heavy rainfall from last night. Over our area, main concern will be in our northwest 1/3 of the CWA which could get the eastern extent of this convection tonight, but at this time we are not expecting enough in the way to warrant a watch in our cwa and we also did not get the rainfall as did the areas to our northwest last night. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 246 PM CDT Thu Aug 25 2016 The front is expected to hang around the area through the weekend with continued chances for scattered convection anticipated. At this time we are not expecting organized severe storms, but could see some strong storms develop during the afternoon on Friday near the frontal boundary. Cloud cover and scattered convection will keep temperatures down slightly with highs generally in the mid to upper 80s. Can't rule out thunderstorm chances on a daily basis given the high moisture content and weak disturbances pushing through the area. Little change in daily temperatures is expected through the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 555 PM CDT Thu Aug 25 2016 Scattered convection will occur for a few hours this evening, mainly affecting the JLN terminal. Have also thrown in a vcts for SGF at the onset. Additional convection will fire up overnight as the low level jet develops with most of that activity remaining north and west of the CWA. Within the convection do bring down to MVFR and outside of convection keep in VFR. && .SGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MO...NONE.
