NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 14, 6:04 AM CST, 5 hours 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 704 AM CDT SUN AUG 14 2005 .DISCUSSION... ONCE AGAIN MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL DEAL WITH PRECIP CHANCES AND AMOUNTS...ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES. HARD TO EXACTLY DETERMINE WHERE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS EARLY THIS MORNING WITH ALL OF THE CONVECTION WHICH HAS OCCURRED TONIGHT. BEST GUESS IS ALONG A LINE ROUGHLY FROM PARSONS KANSAS...TO OSAGE BEACH...TO JUST NORTH OF THE ST. LOUIS METRO AREA. THE 850 MB FRONT LOOKS TO BE DISPLACED TO THE NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY BY ABOUT 50 TO 100 MILES. UPPER FLOW REMAINS FROM THE SOUTHWEST WITH SUBTLE UPPER WAVES MOVING TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA. ANOTHER BATCH OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER STRETCHED FROM SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS ACTIVITY WAS FOUND ALONG THE AXIS OF A 30 KT JET AT 850MB. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY TODAY AS THE MODELS SHOW THE SURFACE BOUNDARY PUSHING FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA. MUCH OF THE AREA WILL HAVE EXTENSIVE PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD COVER. HOWEVER...IF SOME SUN CAN PEEK OUT OF THE CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI THAT AREA COULD WARM TO NEAR 90 DEGREES. A TIGHT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT WILL SET UP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY ONLY REACHING THE MIDDLE 70S ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE BOUNDARY FROM THE SOUTHWEST TODAY. IN ADDITION...UPPER JET TO THE NORTH MAY STILL BRING SOME ENHANCEMENT TO LIFTING DUE TO ENTRANCE REGION EFFECTS. GOING WITH 70 TO 80 PERCENT POPS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR TODAY...TRENDING DOWN TO 50 POPS ACROSS FAR SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI. IF THE WARMER TEMPERATURES DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON...MLCAPES WOULD APPROACH 2000 J/KG. THIS WOULD BRING AN ISOLATED THREAT OF SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP. AGAIN GOING WITH LIKELY POPS EVERYWHERE TONIGHT WITH 850MB BOUNDARY NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AND SOUTHWEST MOIST FLOW CONTINUING TO CONVERGE INTO THIS FEATURE. ON MONDAY...MUCH OF THE SAME CONDITIONS WILL EXIST AS THE 850MB FRONT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE FAST. DID ADD LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WORDING TO THE ZONES THROUGH MONDAY...AS PW VALUES ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL BE AROUND 2 INCHES. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE POSSIBILITY OF MINOR FLOODING TODAY IN THE HWO ACROSS LOCATIONS WHICH RECEIVED THE HEAVIER RAINFALL ON SATURDAY(MAINLY FAR WEST AND NORTH). SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO DRY NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING. HOWEVER THIS WILL NEED CONTINUED MONITORING BY LATER SHIFTS. DID LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURES FURTHER FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...DUE TO THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. THE GFS STILL HINTS AT THE 850MB BOUNDARY LINGERING ON TUESDAY...SO KEPT 40 POPS AREAWIDE FOR NOW. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. SAW .AVIATION... FOR THE 12Z TAFS... BAND OF SHOWERS EXTENDING ALONG INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR THIS MORNING HAS PROMPTED TEMPO TO PREDOMINANT RAIN AT JOPLIN AND SPRINGFIELD TAF SITES. WILL CARRY VICINITY SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH MVRF CEILINGS AS PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE OVER SOUTHERN OK RIDES NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. STRATUS DECK OVER WEST CENTRAL/CENTRAL MO WILL LIKELY WORK ITS WAY SOUTH AS FRONT SAGS INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. SO WILL CARRY IFR CEILINGS WITH LIGHT RAIN FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH THE NIGHT. TERRY && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
