Area forecast discussion, Oct 19, 2:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 227 PM CDT Wed Oct 19 2016 ...Storms through this Evening then Cooler and Drier... .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... Issued at 200 PM CDT Wed Oct 19 2016 Convection continued to increase in coverage into this afternoon along and north of a nearly stationary front stretching from just south of Joplin and along the I-44 corridor. A few of these storms were had approaching severe limits. Showers and storms had developed well north of the surface boundary ahead of the 850 MB front. The surface front will begin a gradual southeastward push into the late afternoon aided by rain cooled air to the north. Meanwhile an upper level trough coming out of the Rockies will begin to assert it's influence heading into late afternoon and this evening. Strengthening synoptic scale lift will support additional development with increasing storm coverage into far southern Missouri along and behind the front. Most unstable CAPE of 1000 to 3000 J/KG and deep layer shear of 30 to 40 kts will support the risk for strong to locally severe storms. Strong winds and hail look to be the primary risk with any severe storms that develop. Storms that develop along the front will be have to be monitored for supercellular structure but any tornado risk appears to be very low. Heavy rainfall and the potential for localized flooding will also have to be monitored where storms train across the same areas. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Thursday) Issued at 215 PM CDT Wed Oct 19 2016 The cold front will begin a steady push to the southeast across the region this evening as the upper level trough swings east. Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage and linger behind the surface front. The activity will taper off from the west later tonight as the 850 MB front pushes to the southeast with most activity moving to our east by daybreak Thursday. A drier and cooler airmass will overspread the region Thursday. .LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday) Issued at 215 PM CDT Wed Oct 19 2016 Seasonably cool temperatures can be expected heading into late week as surface high pressure builds into the area and the region comes under the influence of a northwesterly flow aloft. A warming trend will return this weekend into early next week as an upper level ridge builds back across the region. Dry weather will persist until the middle or later part of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 200 PM CDT Wed Oct 19 2016 Pilots can expect deteriorating flight conditions as a cold front moves across the area. This front will bring showers and thunderstorms along with low ceilings. MVFR to IFR conditions will develop behind the front through the evening. Improving conditions will return Thursday morning. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && MESOSCALE...Foster SHORT TERM...Foster LONG TERM...Foster AVIATION...Foster
