Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Springfield MO

...18Z AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 227 AM CDT Sat Jul 17 2021

Much more quiet night across the forecast area than was last
night, however convection with slow moving storms was just
southwest of the CWA early this morning. A nearly stationary front
was bisecting the forecast area over central MO with a surface low
over southwest KS and a weak surface trough extending east of the
low into northeast OK. It was along this boundary which was also
in an elevated instability axis with MU CAPES of 2000 j/kg and PW
values of 1.7 to 1.9 in. where the convection was firing. CAMS
were showing some scattered convection possibly
drifting/developing into our western CWA tonight and on Saturday
and we will be going with scattered pops across all but the far
northeast CWA during the day today. The front is expected to
slowly drift south across the area over the weekend and this risk
of scattered convection will likely persist through the weekend.
Drier air will continue to slowly work southwestward into the area
and pops will diminish from northeast to southwest over the
weekend.

High temperatures over the weekend will generally remain in the
mid 80s with a few low 80s in the north and a few upper 80s in the
south possible.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 227 AM CDT Sat Jul 17 2021

An upper level ridge axis over the Rockies will remain there over
the weekend and gradually amplify. By Sunday night into Monday, a
piece of energy will begin to dive south on the eastern side of
the upper ridge over eastern Kansas and into western MO.
Meanwhile, in the lower levels, high pressure will continue to
build into the area behind the surface front. Showers and
thunderstorm chances will continue over the southwestern half of
the CWA as the shortwave energy moves across the area, while areas
in the northeast half of the CWA will likely remain dry as the
drier air mass continues to move in.

Eventually, by Tuesday, the upper energy will shift southwest of
the area and form a closed low which will then retrograde westward
and undercut the upper ridge. Tuesday and Wednesday look to be dry
across the area.

Heading into Thursday, moisture will begin to return northward
into the area and with afternoon instability developing over the
area, thunderstorms will once again return to the forecast to
close out the work week.

Temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s to start out the week,
but warming back into the mid to upper 80s by midweek and the
upper 80s to low 90s by the end of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Sat Jul 17 2021

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop
through the afternoon hours and linger into the evening. Highest
chances look to be this evening and have inserted thunder into the
TAFs for that time. Ceilings will bounce around MVFR through the
afternoon with light and variable winds.
