Severe Thunderstorm Warning 327, NWS Springfield, MO

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
541 PM CDT Wed Aug 2 2023

Key Messages:

1. Flood watch tonight for our northeastern portion of the CWA.

2. Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory have been extended
through Thursday and extended slightly northeastward.

3. Pattern change this weekend will start to bring temperatures
back into the 80s for Sunday through next week.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 121 PM CDT Wed Aug 2 2023

A few showers were occurring over east central Kansas into west
central MO early this afternoon. Temperatures were ranging from
the low 80s in the northeast to the upper 90s in the southwest.
Upper level ridge axis remains in place over the area with a
baroclinic zone stretching north to south over western Missouri.
Remnant convection from the mornings MCS has exited the area to
the east. CAMS redevelop strong to possibly severe convection late
this afternoon or early evening over central Missouri as the low
level jet begins to ramp back up. Heaviest precipitation tracks
northeast of the area, but some of the models do have some
convection in our northeast CWA, which had quite a bit of rainfall
2 nights ago. So, we are maintaining our flood watch and will be
starting this watch a bit earlier that previously issued. It will
now start at 7 pm this evening. PW values still over 2" so very
high efficiency in the rainfall. In addition to the heavy rain and
flood potential, there will be quite a bit of shear over the
central MO counties for a severe weather potential. Large hail,
damaging wind the main risk, with a small risk of a tornado.

This convection should end on Thursday. We have decided to extend
the heat products out through Thursday for all but our northeast
1/3 of the CWA which should be cooler from the clouds/morning
precipitation. HREF probabilities show a pretty good signal for
including the remaining counties in an advisory or warning, with
the warning in the far west.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 121 PM CDT Wed Aug 2 2023

The ridge will begin to flatten out on Friday, but it looks like
hot temperatures will continue at least through Saturday. A
frontal boundary then should push through on Sunday with northwest
flow and a shortwave moving through the area early next week. This
should help to usher in a cooler and drier air mass to the area
and bring next weeks temperatures back into the 80s.

There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms on a daily
basis as the upper pattern does remain active, but chances at this
time remain in the 20-40 percent range.

The 8 to 14 day outlook which goes through mid August calls for
equal chances of above and below normal temperatures and above
normal precipitation.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 521 PM CDT Wed Aug 2 2023

Currently a stalled front extends across west central and central
Missouri then bends southward into south central Missouri. Storms
are expected to develop along and north of the boundary this
evening and into the overnight hours as a low level jet moves
over the MO Ozarks and feeds into the storm complex. For now we
plan to keep storms out of the TAFS but will need to monitor KSGF
and KBBG for updates if the storms spread further south on outflow
boundaries.

Winds will remain southerly at the southwest Missouri airports
through much of the 00Z TAF cycle, but will add a temporary shift
to the north between 12-15Z to account for the outflow.

Low level wind shear will be included after 04Z as the low level
jet returns with the latest HRRR showing 925 mb winds from the
southwest at 40-45 kts. These winds will mix down to the surface
by around 15-16Z with gusty gusts up to 25 kts from the southwest.

VFR clouds/visibility are expected through the forecast period.
