Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
551 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017
.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017
Weak frontal boundary will move southward through southern
Missouri into this evening. Front will not be strong enough to
induce widespread upward motion but expect to see at least
isolated convection as boundary layer further warms. Questions
arise in whether the convection will be strictly diurnal in nature
as model ensembles suggest convection will last into the night as
H8 front moves slowly through. Given heat induced
instability...some stronger storms will be possible including
isolated damaging wind.
Seasonably warm yet noticeably more mild temperatures are then
expected on Saturday as a modified Canadian air mass moves through
the region.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017
Pops will be a tad higher on Sunday as high departs setting up
modest return flow...otherwise expect only isolated diurnal
thunderstorm chances through the coming week as the ridge flattens
across the Central Plains.
Temperatures will warm under this dome driving afternoon heat
indices upward to around 100 daily.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 536 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017
Pilots can expect prevailing VFR conditions at area terminals
tonight through Saturday. Isolated storms may develop across far
southern Missouri this evening otherwise no weather impacts to
flight conditions are expected. A front will push southward across
the region tonight bringing a wind shift to the northwest.
