Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
112 AM CDT Fri Jul 17 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Jul 16 2020

A shield of cloud cover continues to linger over southeast Kansas
and southwest Missouri associated with an MCV centered along the
Kansas/Missouri border. Farther south, a weak surface front is
located over northern Arkansas. CAMs point to the combination of
these two features initiation isolated to scattered storms across
portions of far SE KS/SW MO and locations near the
Missouri/Arkansas border late this afternoon into the evening.
Cannot rule out an isolated strong to severe storm in the area of
better instability over far southern Missouri, though the best
chances may remain south of the CWA along the surface front. We
will keep a mention of the Marginal SPC risk for wind gusts and
large hail with the strongest storms.

Perhaps another focus of concern would be the potential of
repeated thunderstorm development and an attendant heavy rainfall
threat as a result over the same area as above later this evening
into tonight. Progged PWAT values over 2 inches and moisture
transport north of the surface front along the nose of a weak
low-level jet would certainly provide an ample moisture source for
efficient/heavy rainfall rates in any thunderstorm activity. Some
caveats to a heavy rainfall/flash flood threat would be the
expected lack of more widespread convection in addition to very dry
antecedent conditions, with flash flood guidance on the order of
several inches. As such, will include more of a limited flooding
mention on a more localized basis if storms were to train over
the same area for several hours.

Some scattered showers and thunderstorms may continue into Friday
morning and afternoon, particularly across the southern CWA, as
mid-level shortwave energy slides eastwards across the CWA. This
activity in addition to at least some lingering cloud cover
during the daytime hours may cap off high temperatures in the
upper 80s to mid 90s, with the highest temperatures across western
Missouri where clouds/precipitation would clear first. There was
enough uncertainty in the duration of the rain and cloud cover
tomorrow to hold off on a heat advisory mention, though the later
shifts tonight will need to take another look at this as newer
model data comes in and the situation becomes clearer. Regardless,
it will still be a hot and humid day with forecast heat indicies
in the 95-105 degree range.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Jul 16 2020

The main concern for this coming weekend into next week would be
the potential for worsening drought conditions over a large
portion of the area as the more active upper level pattern remains
to our north. As a result, rain chances remain very low and
isolated through at least Sunday with heat index values building
into the 100-105 range on both Saturday and Sunday. Heat
advisories may need introduction for portions of the area on
either one or both of these days.

For the early to middle part of next week, model guidance points
to some daily rain chances, particularly during the afternoons and
evenings. Despite the precipitation chances, QPF still looks
relatively low and not widespread. Temperatures look like they
will remain above average much of next week with highs in the low
to mid 90s.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 106 AM CDT Fri Jul 17 2020

KSGF/KJLN/KBBG tafs: Scattered thunderstorms are occurring near a
slow moving upper level disturbance near the four state
MO/KS/OK/AR area. Branson and Joplin will have the best chances
for storms in the near term. Most storms should exit the area
after 12z with vfr conditions.
