NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 22, 5:45 PM CST, 3 hours 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 645 PM CDT MON AUG 22 2005 .UPDATE... THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPED ALONG A STALLED BOUNDARY AND PRODUCED FLOODING RAINS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI HAD DIMINISHED AND MOVED TO THE EAST EARLY MONDAY EVENING. ANOTHER BAND OF CONVECTION HAD DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARED TO BE SUPPORTED BY A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE AS DEPICTED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND PROFILERS. INSTABILITY WAS LIMITED LATE THIS AFTERNOON BECAUSE OF CLOUD COVER. THEREFORE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. FOSTER && .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... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE SPRINGFIELD AND JOPLIN TERMINALS THROUGH TUESDAY. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT BUT MAY AFFECT THE SPRINGFIELD AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. PATCHY FOG AND POSSIBLY SOME LOW STRATUS COULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT RESULTING IN LOCALIZED MVFR CONDITIONS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP TUESDAY AS FRONT REMAINS STALLED ACROSS THE REGION. FOSTER && SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. SGF TEAM
