AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 130 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... REGIONAL WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...PROFILE NETWORK AND MORNING SOUNDING INFORMATION INDICATED A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. UPSTREAM ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS...A NOTABLE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE WAS SLOWLY MOVING SOUTHEAST. MORNING UPPER AIR ANALYSIS ALSO SHOWED ABUNDANT MOISTURE BELOW 750MB...BUT A FAIRLY DEEP DRY LAYER ABOVE. REGIONAL RADAR ALREADY BEGINNING TO LIGHT UP ACROSS THE OZARKS...HOWEVER NO REAL BOUNDARY TO CONCENTRATE ON FOR OVERALL COVERAGE. THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE SLIGHTLY CHANCE THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR ALL OF THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE MAY ALLOW FOR A FEW STORMS TO SURVIVE PAST SUNSET...BUT WILL LET LATER SHIFTS DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. OVERALL...MODELS CONTINUE THE BULK OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVES AND ENERGY WELL NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA WILL KEEP THE STRONG WESTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. SHORT TERM CONCERNS DEAL WITH HEAT...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING CLOSE TO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES REMAIN LOW...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN OUTSIDE CHANCE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND NO CAP WILL CONTINUE. HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS FORECAST...BUT INCREASE THEM SOME AROUND THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND MUCH DRIER VEGETATION. HAVE ALSO DROPPED A FEW DEGREES ON OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE TYPICAL COOL SPOTS OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI. NAM IS FORECASTING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN BEGIN TO WASH OUT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE SOME CONCERNS ON RECENT NAM FORECASTS ON FRONTAL POSITIONS...SO HAVE LEAN MORE TOWARD THE GFS WHICH KEEPS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...I HAVE INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY MCS THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MID WEST. JLT .EXTENDED PERIOD (DAY 4 TO 7)... NORTHERN HALF OF THE CONUS LOOKS TO BE IN ZONAL PATTERN DURING THE ONSET OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH WEAK FLOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF. HOT TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE CWA THROUGH SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. GFS BRINGS A SHORTWAVE INTO THE PLAINS OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE OF MORE ORGANIZED RAINFALL TO THE AREA. LINDENBERG && .AVIATION... SCATTERED CBS THROUGH 01Z WITH THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY WILL BE THE ONLY AIRCRAFT PROBLEMS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. IF SUFFICIENT RAINFALL DEVELOPS IN SPECIFIC AREAS AROUND KSGF/KJLN...THEN MVFR OR IFR CEILINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE TOWARD SUNRISE. AT THIS TIME WILL LET LATER SHIFTS HANDLE THIS SCENARIO.
