Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
301 PM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022

Key Messages:

downburst winds and flash flooding will be the main hazards
through tonight. Flood Watch northeast of Springfield.

2. Scattered showers and thunderstorms again Tuesday, mainly along
and south of Interstate 44.

3. Slightly less hot the first half of the work week with cloud
cover and precipitation overhead.

4. Mostly dry forecast the second half of the week with near to
slightly above normal temperatures.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 200 PM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022

Synoptic Pattern and Current Conditions: Water Vapor imagery
revealed an upper level low across southern Missouri-northern
Arkansas. This low was slowly drifting west ahead of an incoming
shortwave trough across the central/northern Plains. A surface
front was now moving into the far northern portion of the CWA with
temps in the 90s ahead of the front with temps in the 70s-80s back
behind the front.

The airmass across the area was moist and unstable with ML cape
values in the 2000-3000j/kg range. PW values have increased from
this morning and are now likely in the 1.7-2.0in range. Wind shear
was very weak with 850mb-300mb mean winds around 5-10kts. Low
level lapse rates were very steep (9C/km). Theta E diffs were in
the 25-35C range therefore the environment is conducive to
localized severe downdrafts.

Areas of showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon
east and south of Springfield in a unstable and a uncapped
environment. These storms will continue to be pulse storms with a
few severe downbursts and localized flash flooding possible.

Of greater concern will be later this evening and tonight as the
cold front continues to move closer to Interstate 44 and interacts
with a unstable airmass and the lift from the upper level low. The
12z HREF data supports a very high probability (>70%) of
thunderstorms developing along the Interstate 44 corridor from
Springfield northeast to Rolla/Lake of the Ozarks. These storms
could develop/train over the same areas and with the high moisture
content/instability, both severe pulse storms and flash flooding
is possible. HREF local probability matched mean data is showing
2-5 inches pockets northeast of Springfield, within a greater area
of smaller amounts of 1 inch or less. This area has also seen
more rain recently versus other areas therefore we will issue a
Flood Watch for this area northeast of Springfield for this
evening and tonight. Other areas further west will see less
amounts of rainfall.

The cold front will slow overnight and additional showers and
thunderstorms will be likely across the area, especially east of
Springfield. The front will likely move just south of I-44 during
the day Tuesday therefore chances of rain Tuesday will mainly be
across the southern CWA. The latest RAP does indicate 2000j/kg of
ML cape south of I-44 Tuesday afternoon therefore will need to
monitor for more pulse storms and isolated flash flooding.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday)
Issued at 200 PM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022

Overall Synoptic Pattern: The Ensemble Cluster Analysis reveals
pretty high confidence that the area will remain just to the east
of the upper level high across the plains.

Temperatures: Ensemble guidance and NBM data supports temperatures
generally at or slightly above average. NBM spreads are only 5-6
degrees with highs ranging from the upper 80s to lower 90s
expected from mid week into the weekend.

Precipitation Chances: The ensemble means indicate very low
probabilities (less than 20%) of seeing precip in this pattern.
Therefore most areas will likely remain dry through the rest of
the week into the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period, outside of
any scattered thunderstorms. Thunderstorms will develop this
afternoon and continue through the evening. They will be very
scattered in nature and hard to pinpoint where they will occur.
Have carried VCTS and Prob30s for now however amendments are
possible. Gusty winds are likely under any thunderstorm. Winds
will remain out of the south to southwest through the period,
turning more northerly by the end of the TAF period and beyond.
