Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 639 AM CDT Tue Aug 7 2018 ...12Z AVIATION UPDATE... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 209 AM CDT Tue Aug 7 2018 At this time...a surface front extends across northern Missouri with nearly zonal upper level flow across the northern states and the summertime flat ridge extending across the south with high pressure centered over the desert southwest. Convection has been firing along the front ahead of several short waves advancing through the upper level flow. The surface front should advance slowly southward during the day on Tuesday making its way into southern Missouri by this time on Wednesday. Meanwhile...several waves will continue to advance through the upper level flow today and tonight bringing several rounds of showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. Given the increase in cloud cover and convective activity...temperatures will be cooler than on Monday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 209 AM CDT Tue Aug 7 2018 High pressure over the desert southwest will begin to amplify during the middle to latter portions of the week...with the ridge getting tilted eastward as a strong trough moves into the Pacific Northwest late Friday into Saturday. At the surface...the front...now over northern Missouri will move into and then stall over Arkansas. For the forecast area...much needed rain is in the forecast through Thursday night into Friday.
