NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 4, 2:10 PM CST, 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 310 PM CDT THU AUG 4 2005 .DISCUSSION... WEAKENING/DIFFUSE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIP SLOWLY SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE AREA. 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS THE SHOWS THE FRONT STRETCHING FROM JUST NW OF CHICAGO SOUTHWESTWARD TO UIN TO DMO TO AROUND BVO. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY IS VIRTUALLY NEGLIGIBLE WITH A LARGE REGION OF RELATIVELY LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ALONG THE BOUNDARY. CONVECTION THUS FAR THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN VERY PULSEY IN NATURE AND REALLY DISORGANIZED. SURFACE HEATING HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT IN BOOSTING MLCAPES TO UP OVER 1000 J/KG WHICH ISNT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE GIVEN COMPLETE LACK OF ANY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. STILL WOULDNT BE ALL THAT SHOCKING TO SEE A MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUST OR TWO INTO EARLY THIS EVENING GIVEN THE NEARLY 30 DEGREES T/TD DEPRESSIONS. CONVECTION WILL TEND TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET BUT WITH WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE FRONT STILL IN THE AREA KEPT SOME LOW CHANCE POPS GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BEGINNING TO LOOK MORE AND MORE LIKE WE WILL SEE SOME SUNSHINE TOMORROW WHICH COULD ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION TO SUPPORT SOME MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION TOMORROW AFTERNOON...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA CLOSER TO WHAT IS LEFT OF BETTER MOISTURE. FRONT SHOULD BE ALMOST COMPLETELY WASHED OUT BY SATURDAY WITH CHANCES OF DIURNAL CONVECTION ON THE WANE. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION...BUT WITH ANY SUNSHINE AND VERY DRY GROUND TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY WARM TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE AND A BIT ABOVE AVERAGE AS WELL. REALLY COULD JUST INSERT YESTERDAYS EXTENDED DISCUSSION HERE. REALLY HARD TO FIND MUCH DIFFERENT TO SAY ABOUT THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD THAT HASNT BEEN REPEATED AD NAUSEUM IN THE PAST SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A WEAKNESS IN THE BROAD AND FLAT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE EXTENDED ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN CONUS. THE OZARKS WILL LIKELY BE IN/NEAR THAT WEAKNESS WHICH WILL TEND TO BE AN AREA THAT IS FAVORED FOR PULSE AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION. DISORGANIZED NATURE OF CONVECTION REALLY MAKES IT HARD TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MORE THAN 15% COVERAGE THIS FAR OUT...AND GIVEN THE TENDENCY FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO MIX OUT DUE TO THE DROUGHT...WIDESPREAD PULSE CONVECTION ISNT A HIGH LIKELIHOOD. ONGOING DROUGHT ALSO SUPPORTS THE NOTION OF KEEPING TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. IZZI && .AVIATION... CONVECTION HAS ONCE AGAIN DEVELOPED ACROSS THE TERRAIN OF THE OZARKS PLATEAU. COVERAGE SHOULD BE ISOLATED IN NATURE AS FORCING IS WEAK AND SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT HAS MOVED OVERHEAD. DECIDED TO AMEND AND INCLUDED A VCTS IN THE SPRINGFIELD TERMINAL THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CONDITIONS...ON THE OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT A THUNDERSTORM MAY AFFECT THE KJLN AND KSGF TERMINAL SITES. SOME HAZE MAY DEVELOP TOWARD DAWN...LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT SOME MVFR VISIBILITIES NEED TO BE ADDED. SAW && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE.
