Area forecast discussion, Oct 6, 6:41 PM CDT, 3 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 641 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 ...Update to Aviation for 00Z TAFS... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 252 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 Morning showers and storms have mostly dissipated as the LLJ began to decay this morning and early afternoon. Additional development is occuring down in the vicinity of Table Rock Lake on the edge of the cold pool from earlier convection. Additional showers and storms have already started developing across central KS/OK. CAMs is showing this activity developing into a complex of storms with east/northeast progression. Timing and a contaminated airmass from earlier convection will generally limit the overall severe potential, however, a strong storm or two may be possible west of I49 with gusty winds being the primary threat. Flooding may become a concern over southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri overnight as additional heavy rainfall is expected with the next round of storms overnight. The surface frontal boundary and parent short wave is projected to move through the region Friday morning/afternoon. Any precipitation should come to an end quickly. Breezy, cooler, and drier conditions are expected behind the frontal boundary. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 252 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 The long term starts with a ridge building across Texas expanding eastward into the Gulf of Mexico through the weekend. A zonal pattern sets up over us through the weekend. Dry and mild conditions are expected through early next week. A subtle wave is projected to move into the region on Monday. With little return flow and poor moisture quality, think this period will be dry with perhaps an increase in cloud cover. If enough moisture can come together we may see an isolated shower or two, however, left mention of this out for now. Zonal flow returns through the remainder of the long term with a warming trend expected by the end of next week as a ridge begins to build into the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 640 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 For the KSGF, KJLN, and KBBG TAFS: A cold front is currently pushing east across central Kansas early this evening. Storms are developing along the cold front across central Kansas and also ahead of the front across east central Kansas. The storms ahead of the front across east central Kansas will continue to lift northeast this evening and not affect the TAF sites. The cold front will spread east into the area later this evening into the overnight hours. A line of storms will push into far southwestern Missouri later this evening, with showers and storms expected to linger behind the front/leading line of storms for several hours tonight. The storms will generally weaken as they spread east and could totally dissipate before reaching the KSGF and KBBG sites. The storms are expected to impact the KJLN site later this evening into tonight. Winds will switch from the southeast to northwest behind the front overnight. MVFR and possibility IFR ceilings will be possible behind the front early Friday morning. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...Frye LONG TERM...Frye AVIATION...Wise
