Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
240 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

Hot and humid conditions are in place across southwest Missouri and
southeast Kansas this afternoon. Did go ahead and upgrade heat
advisory to an excessive heat warning for McDonald and Newton
counties, where slightly higher dew points have raised heat index
values above 110.

12Z SGF sounding shows all the moisture confined below 850mb (Approx
5000 feet), with very dry air above this. RAP does indicate a little
better moisture pushing into southwest Missouri and far southeast
Kansas this afternoon and evening. Expect Isolated thunderstorms
into the evening hours as surfaced based instabilities of 5500-6000
j/kg are present, with weak shear. Best chances for any stronger to
potentially severe would be in this corridor of higher moisture over
southwest Missouri into southeast Kansas. These will likely weaken
with loss of heating, but given the humid airmass, much like last
night will likely see isolated showers/storms through the overnight
hours.Look for lows tonight mainly in the lower to middle 70s.

Temperatures will be somewhat cooler on Friday, with highs ranging
from the middle 80s in the eastern Ozarks to the lower 90s in
southeast Kansas and far southwest Missouri. It will remain quite
humid though, but heat index readings at this point look to remain
below advisory levels, generally in the mid to upper 90s and
perhaps 100 over southeast Kansas, so at this point no advisory
headlines will be issued. With the heat and humidity will once again
see the possibility of isolated to scattered storms during the heat
of the day. No widespread severe weather is expected, but as it
typical this time of year could see an isolated stronger storm.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

This period will be dominated by a persistent upper level ridge over
the area. This will keep warm and humid conditions for the area with
at or above normal temperatures. Daily, mainly diurnally driven
convection will occur, but plenty periods of dry weather.
Temperatures actually look to cool a bit for the upcoming weekend
with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. Weak surface high pressure
looks to build in from the north on Sunday, and this will likely be
the "driest" day of the weekend. Otherwise, temperatures begin to
climb back up into the 90s by the middle part of next week with heat
indices once again topping 100 degrees in many locations.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1222 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2020

MVFR strato-cumulus will scatter out this
afternoon with VFR conditions expected. Will likely see isolated
showers/storms develop but confidence not high on their impact to
the TAF sites. Best area looks to be over far southwest Missouri,
including the KBBG site and thus have covered with a VCTS. Could see
some patchy fog again late tonight around the area given the moist
low level of the atmosphere. Outside of that VFR flight conditions
are expected.
