NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 2:17 AM CST, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 317 AM CDT SUN JUN 13 2004 .DISCUSSION... ALL EYES ARE ON A MASSIVE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO THE OZARKS. EVERYTHING WILL DEPEND ON THE PROGRESSION OF THIS FEATURE THIS MORNING. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NOT A MODEL OUT THERE THAT CAN HANDLE THIS TYPE OF DETAIL. FIRST AND SECOND PERIOD FORECAST WILL BE BASED ON CONVECTIVE TRENDS AND ONGOING STRUCTURE OF ATMOSPHERE OVER MUCH OF THE NATIONS MID SECTION. THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE REVOLVES AROUND TODAYS STORM CHANCES. SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)... A SOUTHWARD PUSH HAS BEEN FAIRLY PERSISTENT WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF CONVECTIVE COLD POOL. THIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AS THE MESO BOUNDARY SAGS INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS PRIOR TO STALLING OUT. GIVEN THE 0 TO 6 KM STORM MOTION VECTOR AND LOW LEVEL JET FEED...THE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY STALL OUT SOMEWHERE IN A LINE FROM NEAR JONESBORO TO FORT SMITH AND BACK INTO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. WEAK SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL STRUGGLE TO PUSH THIS BOUNDARY BACK INTO THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. THUS...RECOVERY FROM ONGOING CONVECTION WILL BE SLOW. LOOK FOR SCATTERED TO BROKEN MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS ALONG WITH A MIX OF SUN TODAY. HUMIDITIES WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 80S. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL GRADUALLY RECOVER BY THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. FURTHER TO THE NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND KANSAS...A SYNOPTIC SCALE BOUNDARY WILL SET UP AND BECOME A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MAY TRY TO PROPAGATE SOUTH INTO THE OZARKS AFTER SUNSET IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET. AS BEST AS I CAN TELL...THE FIRST PERIOD CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY...MAINLY DUE TO A CONVECTIVELY STABILIZED ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE. WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SLIGHTLY INCREASING TONIGHT. LONG TERM (MONDAY - SATURDAY)... ONGOING FORECAST APPEARS TO HANDLE THE LONG TERM PERIODS VERY WELL...THEREFORE MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THESE GRIDS. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH SIGNALS OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PRESSING IN FROM THE NORTH BY THURSDAY MORNING. DIURNAL SHOWERS AND PULSERS WILL BE LIMITED THIS WEEK WITH A SLIGHTLY DRIER THAN TROPICAL AIRMASS EXPECTED. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL THEN INCREASE BY THURSDAY AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. && .AVIATION... THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING OVER SE KS AND THE MO OZARKS ATTM HAVE MAINLY SET UP ALONG WEST TO EAST OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH TODAY. STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN THIS MORNING...THEN REDEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS AGAIN LATER TODAY. LOCATION THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON WHERE THUNDERSTORM BOUNDARIES SET UP TODAY. OUTSIDE OF STORMS EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH MVFR/OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS WITH STORMS. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...FLOOD WATCH ALL AREAS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. KS...FLOOD WATCH ALL AREAS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. CRAMER
