NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
321 PM CDT TUE JUL 26 2005
.DISCUSSION...
REGIONAL PROFILER NETWORK NICELY DEPICTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PESKY
200MB CLOSED LOW OVER OKLAHOMA DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS. THIS
CIRCULATION HAS THUS FAR LEAD TO AN EASTERLY FLOW WELL ALOFT AND HAS
HELD CIRRUS AT BAY MUCH OF THE DAY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAS ALLOWED
TEMPERATURES TO ONCE AGAIN SOAR INTO THE UPPER 90S ACROSS ABOUT THE
SOUTHEAST 1/2 TO 2/3 OF THE CWA. SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT
AGREEMENT ON QUICKLY SHEARING THIS UPPER LOW OUT AS IT MOVES
EASTWARD AND IS MORE OR LESS ABSORBED BY THE APPROACHING
UNSEASONABLY STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH.
AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED THE PAST COUPLE DAYS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS
FAIRLY SHALLOW WITH A WEAK TILT SO PREFRONTAL CONVECTION MAY BE A
BIT TOUGH TO COME BY GIVEN WHAT WILL LIKELY BE RELATIVELY SHALLOW
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL
ACTUALLY BE POST FRONTAL AND ASSOCIATED WITH UNSEASONABLY STRONG MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE
100-130KT 250MB JET. SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT WILL BE MORE STRATIFORM IN NATURE. WILL LIKELY
BE SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS GIVEN THE STRONG ASCENT AND SOME WEAK
ELEVATED INSTABILITY...BUT EXPECT CHARACTER OF PRECIPITATION TO LEAN
TO THE STRATIFORM SIDE.
THIS MORNINGS 12Z SOUNDING FROM TOPEKA NICELY SAMPLED THE VERY
MOIST POST FRONTAL AIRMASS THAT WILL OVERSPREAD THE OZARKS TONIGHT.
GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EXPECTED FORCING AND AMOUNT OF MOISTURE
IN PLACE HARD TO ARGUE WITH THE GENEROUS MODEL QPF AND BUMPED UP
POPS ACCORDINGLY. FORCING WILL WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTHWARD TOMORROW
AS THE UPPER TROUGH DIGS A BIT FURTHER SOUTHWARD WHILE THE CORE OF
THE POLAR JET LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD. KEPT SOME LINGERING PRECIPITATION
OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI TOMORROW MORNING AND EVEN CARRIED LOW CHANCE
POPS INTO THE AFTERNOON OVER FAR SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.
WENT WITH THE IDEA OF STRATUS BREAKING UP FROM THE NW TOMORROW
AFTERNOON SINCE IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE A POST FRONTAL STRATUS DECK
LINGERING INTO THE AFTERNOON IN LATE JULY. EVEN WITH THE MIXED
SUNSHINE NORTHERLY WINDS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL PROBABLY KEEP
TEMPERATURES REFRESHINGLY COOL...ESPECIALLY GIVEN OUR RECENT LITTLE
HEAT WAVE.
NO CHANGES MADE TO GOING EXTENDED GRIDS WHICH SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD
HANDLE ON A WARMING TREND BACK TO SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. CERTAINLY
COULD BE A RED WOLF OR TWO IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW BUT THOSE REALLY
CANT BE IDENTIFIED THIS FAR IN ADVANCE.
IZZI/BROWNING
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...GUSTY SSW WINDS LIKELY UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE
EARLY THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION TO A WIND SHIFT TO BRISK NORTHERLY
WINDS LOOK FOR POST FRONTAL RAIN TO OVERSPREAD THE TERMINALS.
ISOLATED TSRA NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION BOTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND BEHIND THE TONIGHT...BUT CHANCES OF TS ARE LOW
ENOUGH TO NOT REQUIRE INCLUSION IN THE TAFS ATTM. STRATUS IS LIKELY
BEHIND THE FRONT AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH MVFR CIGS OVERNIGHT. MVFR
CIGS MAY BE OPTIMISTIC...BUT GIVEN HOW CLIMATOLOGICALLY RARE IT
WOULD BE TO SEE POST FRONTAL IFR/LIFR STRATUS IN LATE JULY DIDNT
FEEL COMFORTABLE BRINGING TAFS ANY LOWER.
