Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 1:35 PM CST, 3 hours 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 235 PM CDT WED AUG 29 2001 PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL AGAIN BE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN TODAY. A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS SOUTHEAST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. MOISTURE POOLING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...AND CAPES AROUND 3500 J/KG WERE SUPPORTING RAPID CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE NOW OVER MANITOBA WILL BE THE MAJOR FEATURE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IS IT AIDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER EASTERN CANADA. THIS WILL BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY AND COOLER TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND. MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH TIMING OF THIS FRONT. FOR TONIGHT...WILL CARRY CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING WITH ONGOING CONVECTION. LIGHT WIND FIELD AT ALL LEVELS WILL RESULT IN SLOW MOVING AND POTENTIALLY FLOOD PRODUCING STORMS. SOME HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE IN STRONGER PULSE TYPE STORMS. ON THURSDAY...SHEAR AXIS THAT HAS BEEN PARKED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL SHIFT INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. ALTHOUGH FOCUS OF CONVECTION WILL BE FARTHER SOUTH...SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND NO CAP WILL RESULT IN DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION. A COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL MAKE IT INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE RAIN THREAT THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE FRONT WILL SLIDE INTO THE OZARKS ON FRIDAY KEEPING THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION GOING. IN THE EXTENDED...MODELS CONSISTENT IN PUSHING THE FRONT OUT OF THE AREA BY EARLY SATURDAY SO WILL GO FOR A DRY DAY. THE AVN PROGS A SHORTWAVE TO CROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY. CONSIDERABLE MID-HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT DO NOT EXPECT PRECIPITATION AS HIGH PRESSURE AND A DRIER AIRMASS WILL SPREADING OVER THE AREA AT THE SURFACE.
