NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 1:37 PM CST, 3 hours 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 237 PM CDT SUN JUL 10 2005 .DISCUSSION... 12Z KSGF SOUNDING INDICATED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN MOISTURE CONTENT ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THE COMBINATION OF THIS INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING HAS TRIGGERED A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM ARKANSAS INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME MARGINALLY SEVERE. 100 MB MIXED LAYER CAPES HAVE INCREASED TO AROUND 1200 J/KG...WHILE PRECIPITAL WATER VALUES HAVE SHOT UP TO OVER 1.50 INCHES ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-44. DECENT MID LEVEL MOISTURE WITHIN THE 350 - 600 MB LEVEL WILL ALLOW FOR ENHANCED UPDRAFTS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS DAY TIME HEATING CONCLUDES. HURRICANE DENNIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR HURRICANE AND CURRENTLY (1930Z) MAKING LAND FALL BETWEEN PENSACOLA AND NAVARRE BEACHES IN FLORIDA. ITS BECOMING MORE LIKELY THAT THE REMNANTS OF DENNIS WILL LIKELY AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI BY TOMORROW MORNING. THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS STILL SOMEWHAT OF A QUESTION MARK...HOWEVER...THE GFS HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT WITH BRINGING SOME PRECIP AS FAR WEST AS THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR. WENT AHEAD AND INCREASED POPS IN THE CATEGORICAL RANGE FOR SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI...AND LEFT CHANCE POPS GOING FOR THE SPRINGFIELD AREA...WITH SLIGHTS BACK TO THE WEST. HEAVY RAINFALL IS JUST WHAT SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI NEEDS AS THIS AREA HAS BEEN DEALING WITH DROUGHT CONDITIONS FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW. DUE TO THE EXTREME DRYNESS OF SOILS AND VEGETATION IN THIS AREA...I WILL NOT BE ISSUING A FLOOD WATCH. HOWEVER...I CANT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FLASH FLOOD OR TWO IF RAINFALL RATES BECOME INTENSE. ALSO...THE DURATION OF THE RAIN COULD CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA CAUSES DENNIS TO STALL OUT SOMEWHERE OVER THE OHIO AND MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEYS. THE GFS IS SHOWING A SIGNAL THAT A SHORTWAVE WILL ROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE CLOSED OFF CIRCULATION FROM DENNIS...AND PROVIDE THE REGION WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF RAIN LATE WEDNESDAY. GIVEN PRECIPITAL WATER VALUES IN THE 1.8 OR GREATER RANGE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL MISSOURI...THIS TYPE OF FORCING WOULD DEFINITELY SQUEEZE OUT ANOTHER GOOD ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDER. BEYOND THURSDAY AND HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND...THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH DENNIS IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY RETROGRADE BACK INTO THE OZARKS AS A SHEAR AXIS. I DIDNT RAISE POPS FOR THIS PERIOD FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY AND THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THIS SOLUTION...HOWEVER...THE OVERNIGHT FORECASTER MAY WANT TO TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT INCREASING POPS FOR THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND GIVEN THE MOISTURE CONTENT EXPECTED ALONG THE SHEAR ZONE. && .AVIATION... IN THE TAFS...I INCLUDED A VCSH MENTION FOR THE SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT FOR THIS AFTERNOON. JOPLIN REMAINS POSITIONED IN THE DRY AIRMASS...THEREFORE THE JOPLIN AIRPORT SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE.
