Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
547 AM CDT Thu Aug 30 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 215 AM CDT Thu Aug 30 2018

Complicated short term forecast with the potential for some
excessive rainfall over the area. Water vapor imagery was showing
a shortwave within the westerlies across north central Kansas
shifting eastward. Ahead of the upper wave there was a significant
amounts of moisture with PW values from 1.5 in. to 1.9 in. over
eastern KS/OK and western MO/AR with increasing low level moisture
transport from the south/southwest as low level jet was increasing
to the west. A surface front was currently nearly stationary over
northern AR near the AR/MO border. A flash flood watch was issued
on the previous shift which begins at 4 AM and continues through
today for our western CWA. The shortwave energy will continue to
slowly push eastward and into MO today, while the surface front
will begin to lift north as a warm front. PW values will remain in
the 1.5 to 1.9 in. range across the area which will make any
developing convection fairly efficient rain producers. We are
seeing initial convective development over central Kansas into
northeast Kansas early this morning. CAMS models have this
activity increasing in coverage and eventually shifting into our
CWA towards morning. If enough instability can develop, there will
be a risk of a few stronger storms capable of large hail and
damaging wind in addition to the heavy rain potential. If a
convective complex can form, there should be a push to the
southeast with the convection by late morning into the afternoon.
Will continue with the flash flood watch for today, where training
storms could produce a couple to three inches of rain and some
flooding.

The warm front should lift north of the area by this evening and
into northern MO tonight. The low level jet will again crank up
tonight, with main convection shifting to areas north of the CWA.
Corfidi vectors suggest a south to southeast movement of complex
late tonight into Friday morning, so some of this activity may
make it into our northern CWA before it dissipates.

Convection/cloud cover today should keep temperatures a bit
cooler, with lows tonight on the mild side with the warm front
lifting north of the area and pretty high dew points.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 215 AM CDT Thu Aug 30 2018

Upper ridge will be over the area on Friday with warm front well
north of the area. As a result we should have temperatures back in
the upper 80s to low 90s and heat index values from the mid 90s to
around 101. Organized convection will take a couple of days off
from the region with the upper ridge remaining over the area. An
upper trough will push into the Rockies on Saturday and into the
plains on Sunday, with the upper ridge shifting to more along the
Atlantic coast. While the majority of convection should remain off
to our northwest, some convection will be possible late in the
weekend into early next week.

Similar temperatures and heat index values are expected on
Saturday and then slightly cooler temperatures/heat index values
for Sunday into early next week, but still fairly warm with mid to
upper 80s for highs and heat index values from the low to mid 90s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 544 AM CDT Thu Aug 30 2018

Convection over east central Kansas will eventually shift into
west central MO and begin to take a more southeasterly trajectory
affecting the terminals after around 14z. There is some IFR
stratus at the onset at BBG. Convection will bring some additional
MVFR/IFR to the area through around 20-21z. VFR conditions are
expected tonight.
