NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 6, 2:08 PM CST, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 308 PM CDT SAT AUG 6 2005 .DISCUSSION... ANOTHER 30 STRAIGHT DAYS OF PULSE CONVECTION WITH CONVERAGE LIKE THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE A TINY DENT IN THE DROUGHT. WEAK SHORT WAVE (QUITE EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND REGIONAL PROFILER NETWORK) IS SLIDING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. THIS DISTURBANCE HAS HELPED KICK OFF A BIT BETTER COVERAGE OF PULSE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND SLOW STORM MOVEMENT HAS ALLOWED FOR SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL TOTALS...INCLUDING NEARLY 6 OF RAIN IN ROUND SPRINGS (3.95 OF THAT THIS MORNING). CONVECTION WILL END THIS EVENING FROM THE NORTHWEST AS SUN SETS AND SUBSIDENCE SETS IN BEHIND THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. MUCH DRIER AIRMASS IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...GREATLY REDUCING CHANCES FOR PULSE CONVECTION SUNDAY. COULD STILL BE A ROGUE SHOWER/STORM DURING THE AFTERNOON NEAR THE ARKANSAS BORDER BUT COVERAGE SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN TODAY. SHOULD SEE MORE SUNSHINE TOMORROW WITH H8 TEMPS A SMIDGE WARMER SO HIGHS SHOULD BE SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE. SHEAR AXIS/VERY WEAK UPPER LOW ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN OZARKS MONDAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A BETTER COVERAGE OF PULSE STORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. SHEAR AXIS/MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI TUESDAY AFTERNOON PROVIDING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON STORMS. UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD EASTWARD SOME BY MID WEEK WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO LESS DIURNAL CONVECTION AND A SLIGHT WARMING TREND. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD NEAR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE AND GUIDANCE. IZZI && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...CUMULUS FIELD SHOULD CONTINUE TO BUBBLE UP AROUND THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS A GOOD BET AROUND THE SGF TERMINAL. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WANE A BIT WESTWARD TOWARD JOPLIN TERMINAL BUT STILL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THERE. HAVE KEPT THUNDER OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW AWAITING MORE SOLID EVIDENCE ON RADAR...HAVE INCLUDED SOME CB AT THE SGF TERMINAL HOWEVER. SHRA/TSRA SHOULD END THIS EVENING WITH SKIES CLEARING OUT. SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIMITED MIXED SHOULD ALLOW FOR MVFR VISIBILITIES TOMORROW MORNING IN BR/HZ...WITH ONLY A VERY SLOW IMPROVEMENT IN VIS AFTER SUNRISE. IZZI && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
