NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 13, 5:24 PM CST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 624 PM CDT SAT AUG 13 2005 .AVIATION... VERY DIFFICULT TAF FORECAST THIS EVENING TRYING TO TIME SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY AT THE TERMINALS. FIRST WAVE OF STORMS HAS CLEARED THE TERMINALS...HOWEVER ANOTHER BATCH IS ORGANIZING OVER OKLAHOMA AND LIFTING NORTHEAST TOWARD SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. STORMS APPEAR SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED ON RADAR NOW SO UNLIKELY THAT THEY WILL COMPLETELY DISSIPATE AT SUNSET...SO INTRODUCED A PERIOD OF SHRA WITH VCTS AT JLN THIS EVENING. KEPT THUNDER OUT OF SGF FOR NOW SINCE TRAJECTORY APPEARS TO KEEP MOST OF STORMS WEST OF TERMINAL. ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE ENTIRE 00Z TAF CYCLE...BUT AGAIN PINPOINTING THE TIMING IS IMPOSSIBLE SO WILL LET LATER SHIFTS TIME THE STORMS ONCE THINGS ARE CLEARER. IZZI && .PREV DISCUSSION... A FRONT REMAINED STALLED FROM CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION HAD DEVELOPED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY WHERE MIXED LAYER CAPES WERE NEAR 2000 J/KG. WATER VAPOR SHOWED A POSITIVE TILT TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE EASTERN CANADIAN PROVINCES SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. DEEP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME WAS STREAMING NORTHWARD IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH. A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THIS FLOW APPEARED TO BE ENHANCING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. THE 12Z SOUNDING SUGGEST THAT STRONG MICROBURST WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. THE FRONT WILL SAG SLOWLY SOUTH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AS UPPER FLOW REMAINS NEARLY ZONAL. A MODERATE LOW LEVEL JET WILL TRANSPORT VERY RICH THETA-E AIRMASS INTO THE AREA WITH 850 MB DEWPOINTS APPROACHING 15 DEGREES C. RIBBON OF PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES WILL STRETCH ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. IN ADDITION MINOR SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE SUBTROPICAL FETCH AND IN THE STRONGER WESTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE U.S. WILL AID PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT. THE RESULT WILL BE THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MONDAY. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL FALL NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44 WHERE TRAINING CELLS COULD PRODUCE HEAVY AMOUNTS. LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY BECOME CONCERN IF MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL DEVELOP. MEANWHILE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN MORE ISOLATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI UNTIL THE FRONT APPROACHES LATER SUNDAY. NAM AND GFS MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN BRINGING THE FRONT SLOWLY ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND FAR SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ON HIGHS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY DUE TO THE ASSOCIATED CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION. I HAVE TRENDED A COUPLE DEGREES DOWN BUT BELIEVE ANY BREAKS WILL HELP TEMPERATURES RECOVER AT LEAST INTO THE LOWER 80S. EXCEPTION MAY BE ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES WHERE HIGHS MAY STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 70S IF PRECIPITATION PERSISTS. THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE 850 MB FLOW INTERSECTING THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A GOOD CHANCE OF RAINFALL MONDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY. THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER AMPLE MOISTURE WILL LIKELY LINGER TO SUPPORT ISOLATED DIURNAL ACTIVITY. ANOTHER FRONT IS PROGGED TO APPROACH THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK. TIMING OF THIS FEATURE IS STILL IN QUESTION SO ONLY INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. FOSTER && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
