NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 22, 1:43 PM CST, 2 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 243 PM CDT MON AUG 22 2005 ...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION... FLOODING IS BECOMING THE PRIMARY HAZARD THIS AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH CONVECTION OVER WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. PWATS ON THE ORDER OF 2 INCHES ALONG WITH SLOW MOVEMENT OF CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO FLASH FLOODING. WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. VISIBLE SAT TRENDS ARE SHOWING SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER...WHICH WILL LEAD TO RAPID DESTABILIZATION ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI. STAY TUNED. .DISCUSSION... COMPLEX WEATHER SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AS SEVERAL MINOR LIFTING MECHANISMS WILL AFFECT THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF 250MB JET STREAKS WILL PROVIDE SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN ADDITION TO THE STATIONARY FRONT WHICH STAYS ROOTED IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. WITH THE FRONT HANGING AROUND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD ALLOW CLOUD COVER TO REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA INTO WEDNESDAY THUS NUDGED TEMPERATURES DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO FOR THE NEXT FEWS DAYS. AFTER TUESDAY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SUPPORT FOR PRECIPITATION AS 850MB FLOW IS VERY WEAK AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ARE FARTHER TO THE NORTH ACROSS NW MISSOURI AND IOWA ON THURSDAY. FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AS 925-700MB RH IS AROUND 90 PERCENT...WITH NO FEATURE PRESENT TO MOVE THE AIRMASS OUT OF THE AREA. DGEX/GFS/NAM ALL DRAG THE TAIL END OF A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LOW OVER CENTRAL CANADA. PLENTY OF MOISTURE...SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM JET STREAK LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST...AND 850MB WINDS OF 20-25KT OVER SE KS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. INTERESTING TO SEE THE DGEX/ECMWF/NAM GRABBING HOLD OF THE LOW OVER THE BAHAMAS. DGEX AND NAM BOTH DEEPEN THE LOW INTO A TROPICAL SYSTEM AND SEND IT INTO FLORIDA AND UP THE EAST COAST. WHILE THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE IT A LITTLE WEAKER AND GOING ACROSS FLORIDA INTO THE GULF LATE NEXT WEEK. IF THAT IS THE CASE...THE FORECAST HIGH OVER THE SOUTH EAST WOULD TEND TO STEER THE SYSTEM INTO THE TX/LA COAST AND UP INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS NEXT WEEKEND. HATCH && .AVIATION... THE COMBINATION OF A COLD FRONT AND A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CAUSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IF JOPLIN OR SPRINGFIELD AIRPORTS ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY A STORM...THEN FLIGHT CONDITIONS COULD FALL WITHIN THE IFR CATEGORY. ALL TWEB ROUTES WILL BE AFFECTED BY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. LOOK FOR CEILINGS TO FALL INTO THE MVFR TO IFR RANGE AS THE FRONT SHIFTS SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. CRAMER && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR MORGAN AND MILLER UNTIL 830 PM. .KS...NONE. SGF TEAM

MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THIS FEATURE HAS CREATED A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE NEAR THE FRONT. A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE CONTAINING DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. ALSO...THE COMBINATION OF HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE EXPECTED SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS MAY CAUSE AREAS OF FLOODING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. AS THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS INTO ARKANSAS BY TUESDAY MORNING...THE AIRMASS OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL REMAIN SATURATED WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT.
