Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 2:32 PM CST, 1 hour 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 332 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2005 .DISCUSSION... COMPLEX CONVECTIVE SCENARIO UNFOLDING THIS AFTERNOON...OF COURSE MOST CONVECTIVE SCENARIOS ARE COMPLEX THIS TIME OF YEAR. OUTFLOW FROM ELEVATED MCS OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI SURGED SOUTHWARD INTO OUR CWA INTO A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT. VERY WEAK SHEAR PROFILES HAVE KEPT STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED THUS FAR THIS AFTERNOON VERY PULSY AND OUTFLOW DOMINANT. ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO THE EARLY EVENING ALONG/NEAR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. BETTER CHANCES OF RAIN WILL COME THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS SURFACE BASED CONVECTION CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER KANSAS PROPAGATES EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OUR CWA PROBABLY RIDING THE EDGE OF THE COLD POOL. NAM/GFS/WRF ALL HAVE STRONG QPF SIGNALS OVER THE OZARKS TONIGHT AS WE GET INTO THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 80KT 200MB JET. IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL FLOW INTERSECTING THE BOUNDARY WILL INCREASE AS THE LOW LEVEL NOCTURNAL WIND MAXIMA DEVELOPS AFTER SUNSET. COMBINATION OF HIGH INSTABILITY AND AMPLE MOISTURE COULD SET THE STAGE FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT. WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND RELATIVE WEAK WIND FIELDS WILL LIKELY PREVENT MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY SEVERE HAIL. DAMAGING WINDS ARE MORE OF A POSSIBLY TONIGHT IF A STRONG COLD POOL CAN BECOME ESTABLISHED. 45-55KT FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS TONIGHT WOULD SUGGEST THAT BOWING SEGMENTS WITH DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IF THE CONVECTION NORTH OF EMPORIA CAN DEVELOP A STRONG COLD POOL. TONIGHTS CONVECTION WILL END BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WITH A COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR FILTERING INTO THE AREA TOMORROW. COOLER WEATHER WILL BE SHORT LIVED (AS IT TYPICALLY IS THIS TIME OF YEAR) WITH WINDS GRADUALLY TURNING SOUTHERLY AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A RETURN TO HOT AND HUMID WEATHER LIKELY BY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. STILL APPEARS AS THOUGH THE SGF CWA WILL BE ON THE FRINGE OF THE STRONGER BELT OF WESTERLIES NEXT WEEK. LOOKS AS THOUGH A RELATIVELY LOW AMPLITUDE RING OF FIRE TYPE PATTERN WILL SET UP EITHER HERE OR NEARBY WITH OCCASIONAL MCS CHANCES. PREDICTING TIMING/LOCATION OF AN MCS IS HARD ENOUGH 6-12 HOURS OUT (ALA TONIGHT)...AND IMPOSSIBLE 4-7 DAYS OUT. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTIES DECIDED TO BROADBRUSH SILENT 20 POPS IN THE GRIDS MON-WED AND ADD MENTION OF THUNDER NEXT WEEK INTO THE HWO. IZZI && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...SCT TS DEVELOPING ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD JUST BARELY MISS SGF TERMINAL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT DID INCLUDE SOME TS IN VC. MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL TONIGHT. WHILE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ONLY INCLUDED PREVAILING SHOWERS FOR NOW WITH CHANCE OF THUNDER UNTIL TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE BETTER PINPOINTED. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW MORNING IN THE WAKE OF TONIGHT STORMS. IZZI && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...NONE. .KS...NONE. WFO SGF
