AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1130 PM CDT FRI JUL 1 2005 .DISCUSSION... PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE IS CHANCE FOR CONVECTION FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. ALL MODEL OUTPUT SHOWS THE PATTERN AT MID LEVELS TO BE RELATIVELY PROGRESSIVE...WITH SURFACE HIGH QUICKLY MOVING OFF THE EAST COAST BY 00Z MONDAY. THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR A QUICK RETURN OF 850 MB MOISTURE VIA THE LOW LEVEL JET SUNDAY NIGHT. 500 MB SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO GREAT LAKES BY 00Z MONDAY SHOULD GIVE AT LEAST SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR NOCTURNAL CONVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT...AND THIS COULD CLIP THE WESTERN CWA. AS COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THE SHORTWAVE STALLS OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT...SETUP LOOKS RIPE FOR ANOTHER MCS WHICH COULD BE A MORE DIRECT HIT. WEST...NORTHWEST MID LEVEL FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH MID WEEK...AND WITH SURFACE FRONT LINGERING OVER THE AREA...THINK CHANCE POPS NEEDED. GULF CONTINUES TO BE OPEN THROUGH THIS TIME...AND ANY WEAK RIPPLE IN THE MID LEVEL FLOW WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING CONVECTION. AS MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE ROCKIES...GFS SHOWS A 500 MB SHORTWAVE RIDING OVER THE RIDGE THEN CUTTING OFF IN MO. ECMWF AND DGEX KEEP THIS WAVE PROGRESSIVE...SO HAVE GONE FOR A DRY SOLUTION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. BROWNING && .AVIATION... KEPT PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS AT BOTH SPRINGFIELD AND JOPLIN TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MAY SEE PATCHY FOG TONIGHT...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.
