AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 323 AM CDT TUE JUL 19 2005 .DISCUSSION... ELEVATED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FIRE ALONG 925 MB TO 850 MB BOUNDARY SITUATED OVER SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. AREA PROFILERS SHOW STRONGEST WINDS...20 TO 30 KNOTS...AT 950 MB FEEDING INTO THIS AREA OF CONVECTION. NW...SE ORIENTATION OF THE BAND OF STRONGEST STORMS FROM CHEROKEE COUNTY INTO FAR NORTHEASTERN MCDONALD COUNTY IS NEARLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE 925 MB FLOW...AND AS THE LLJ VEERS TOWARDS DAWN...IT APPEARS THAT CONVERGENCE WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG ALONG THIS BAND. ONGOING FLOODING THREAT BEING MONITORED. THINK THAT CONVECTION OVER FAR SW MO AND SE KANSAS WILL LIKELY DISSIPATE BY MID MORNING AS LOW LEVEL FLOW WEAKENS AFTER DAWN. ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM UPPER MIDWEST THROUGH KANSAS AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE EASTWARD TODAY. MID LEVEL RELATIVE HUMIDITY HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE CWA DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS...AND WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINING TO OUR WEST TODAY...THINK THAT SCATTERED PULSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD BET THIS AFTERNOON.

WEDNESDAY MAY SEE A FEW MORE PULSE STORMS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN CWA...HOWEVER MONSTER 500 MB ROCKIES RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD EASTWARD...AND BY THURSDAY A RETURN TO HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS IS UNDER WAY.

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...WEAK LOW LEVEL JET AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE HAS SET UP IN EXTREME SOUTHWEST MISSOURI EARLY THIS MORNING. A SMALL COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED IN THIS REGION WHICH WILL FOLLOW THE MAIN THERMO/WEAK 925MB FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG HIGHWAY 60 THIS MORNING. BELIEVE MAIN TERMINAL WILL BE CLEAR OF MVFR/IFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES DUE TO THIS SCENARIO...BUT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE VCTS/VCSH. NAM/ETA MODEL IS INCREASING LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE THIS MORNING AND PRODUCING LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. HOWEVER...BELIEVE MAIN FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WILL BE THROUGH 12Z WITH CEILINGS AROUND 5000 OR ABOVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MORNING CONVECTION AND SEE IF ANY RE-DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. JLT && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE.
