Area forecast discussion, Oct 10, 2:00 PM CST, 2 hours 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 300 PM CDT WED OCT 10 2001 VERY ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS EXPECTED TODAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS PERSIST EAST OF A COLD FRONT WHICH EXTENDS FROM EAST OF KANSAS CITY TO WEST OF JOPLIN. STRONGEST STORMS ARE OVER WEST PLAINS AREA BUT HAVE REMAINED BELOW SEVERE STRENGTH FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS AGREES WELL WITH LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS OF WARMING CLOUD TOPS. SHORT TERM PROBLEMS WILL BE HOW MUCH ACTIVITY WE SEE FROM STORMS DEVELOPING OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA...AND IF EXTENDED FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS NEEDED. SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN TODAYS MODELS ON HOW FAST FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH AND WHEN MOISTURE WILL CLEAR THE REGION. AT THIS TIME PREFER MESOETA MOVEMENT OF FRONT BUT AVN HANDLING OF MOISTURE...BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHEST POPS TONIGHT OVER THE SOUTHEAST...AND LOWEST POPS IN THE NORTHWEST. THEN WILL CONTINUE WITH MORNING POPS CENTRAL ZONES FOR THURSDAY...TRENDING OFF IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON OVER THE SOUTHEAST. LATEST WATER VAPOR SHOWS TROPICAL FEED HAS SHIFTED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA...AND SURFACE OBS INDICATE PRECIP EFFICIENCY IS NOT WHAT IT WAS YESTERDAY. HOWEVER DYNAMIC FORCING WILL BE AS GOOD OR BETTER. SINCE IT APPEARS MOST STORMS WILL BE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...WHERE SOIL MOISTURE IS STILL ON THE LOW SIDE...WILL NOT PLAN ON ISSUING ADDITIONAL FLOOD WATCHES AT THIS TIME. LATEST AVN/MRF ARE CONSISTENT WITH DEEPENING SECONDARY TROUGH ON SATURDAY...SO WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. BY MIDWEEK...LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WARMING TREND.
