AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 657 PM CDT MON AUG 15 2005 .DISCUSSION... TWO SHORT WAVES NOTED ON RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY WERE LOCATED NEAR NEVADA MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST OF OKLAHOMA CITY. BOTH WERE LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST AT 25 MPH. IN ADDITION TO THE SHORT WAVES...RAINFALL WAS ENHANCED LOCALLY BY 85H BOUNDARY NORTH OF I-44...WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION WAS ALSO NOTED IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS PRIOR TO 1 PM. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES HAS ENHANCED RAINFALL PRODUCTION WHICH MAY PROVIDE LOCALIZED FLOODING IN AREAS THAT HAVE HAD OVER 1-2 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WEST/CENTRAL MISSOURI THE LAST FEW DAYS. SHORT TERM FORECAST WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON OVERALL MOVEMENT OF THE SHORT WAVES DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. NAM INITIALIZATION OF H8/H5 ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. WAS TOO FAR OFF IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD TO USE FOR THE NEXT 24-36 HRS. HAVE BASED MY FORECAST ON GFS SOLUTION WITH REGIONAL RADAR/SATELLITE IMAGERY FOR THE FIRST 6-12 HOURS. FIRST SHORT WAVE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL/CENTRAL MISSOURI ALONG WITH H8 FRONTAL BOUNDARY ENHANCEMENT...WILL LIKELY KEEP CENTRAL MISSOURI IN GREATEST OVERALL LIFT IN THE SHORT TERM. AFTER 00Z...SHORT WAVE ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WILL BE ENHANCING RAINFALL SOUTH OF I-44 THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...BEFORE H8 FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES TO NEAR ARKANSAS BORDER BY SUNRISE. THIS BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN LOCAL HIGH RAIN THREAT ALONG THE ARKANSAS BORDER THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. GFS/NAM BOTH PUSH THE H8 BOUNDARY SOUTH BRINGING AN END TO THE RAIN ON WEDNESDAY. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD THIS SOLUTION...WITH ONLY LOW POPS CARRIED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. JLT LONG RANGE...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MODELS GENERALLY AGREE WITH SLOWING NEXT NORTHERN STREAM WAVE...WITH FROPA ACROSS SGF CWA EXPECTED ON SATURDAY. WHILE MODELS REMAIN LESS THAN ENTHUSIASTIC WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH RETURN FLOW...STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AROUND SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHOULD LEAD TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TSRA INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...THUS HAVE RAISED POPS SLIGHTLY IN THE WEST THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. STILL ENOUGH QUESTIONS ON FRONT TO KEEP POPS FROM BEING MENTIONED WITH FROPA. RUNNELS .AVIATION... VORT MAX APPROACHING TSA IS ENHANCING CONVECTION IN NORTHEASTERN OK...AND EXPECT UVV TO SPREAD NEWD ALONG 850 MB FRONT...TOWARDS BOTH TAF SITES THIS EVENING. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS AREA OF POST FRONTAL LOW CIGS FROM NEAR PARSONS KANSAS TO NEAR BOLIVAR IS NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS SOUTHWARD. THINK THAT SURGE SOUTHWARD WILL OCCUR LATER TONIGHT AS VORT MAX NEAR TSA PASSES AND 850 MB FLOW BECOMES NORTHERLY. BROWNING && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
