Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:00 AM CST, 4 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 300 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .DISCUSSION... MOST CHALLENGING PART OF THIS MORNINGS FORECAST SEEMS TO BE THE FIRST 12-24 HOURS. ALMOST ALL NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS GENERATING SOME QPF OVER THE AREA TODAY...BUT WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME KEYING IN ON WHAT THE IMPETUS IS FOR THE PRECIP. MODELS ARENT EXACTLY DOING A STELLAR JOB WITH ONGOING CONVECTION NEAR KS/OK BORDER...SO REALLY HARD TO EMBRACE THEM THEIR IDEA OF RAIN FOR TODAY. HAVING SAID THAT...CONVECTION IS EXPANDING IN AREAL COVERAGE TO OUR WEST SO OBVIOUSLY WILL NEED TO INCLUDE POPS OF SOME SORT TODAY. WILL MAKE A LAST MINUTE DECISION ON POPS JUST PRIOR TO GRID ISSUANCE. TODAYS PHANTOM DISTURBANCE IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA TONIGHT WITH UPPER HEIGHTS SLOWING BUILDING. WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS AND NO OBVIOUS TRIGGERS APPARENT KEPT FORECAST GENERALLY DRY FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. NEXT FRONT MAY TRY AND SAG INTO MISSOURI BY LATER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING SOME CHANCE FOR CONVECTION LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WEEK. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE FAR TOO COOL DURING THE DAY OVER THE DRY PORTIONS OF OUR CWA...SO KEPT TEMPS GENERALLY ABOVE GUIDANCE THERE. ONE EXCEPTION COULD BE TODAYS HIGHS GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR CLOUDINESS AND POSSIBLY SOME RAIN TO KEEP IT COOLER...SO EMBRACED GUIDANCE EVERYWHERE TODAY. GIVEN THE DEVELOPING CONVECTION WILL OPT TO KEEP THINGS VERY BRIEF THIS MORNING ON CLOSE ON THAT NOTE. THANKS FOR THE COORDINATION THIS MORNING LSX/EAX/HPC IZZI && .AVIATION... FOR THE 06Z TAFS...WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP CONVECTION OUT OF JOPLIN AND SPRINGFIELD TAF SITES WITH DECENT CAP ON 00Z KSGF SOUNDING. WILL BUMP CLOUD COVER UP IN THE EARLIER PORTION OF THE TAFS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANVIL SPREADING NORTHEAST FROM CONVECTION OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY. TERRY && .CLIMATE... THE EXCEPTIONALLY DRY WEATHER CONTINUES FROM SGF TO VIH AND SOUTHEASTWARD. DID A BIT MORE NUMBER CRUNCHING THIS MORNING AND FOUND THAT UNO HAS ONLY RECEIVED 19% OF THEIR NORMAL PRECIPITATION SINCE MAY 1ST. AFTER MISSING ANOTHER SHOT AT PRECIPITATION OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE YESTERDAY...WE ARE NOW IN THE MIST OF A 23 DAY STRETCH WITHOUT A SINGLE DAY RAINFALL OF MORE THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. EVEN MORE REMARKABLE...IT HAS BEEN 145 DAYS SINCE WE HAVE SEEN A CALENDAR DAY RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF 0.80. THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 7 OTHER TIMES SINCE 1888 THAT SGF HAS SEEN A STRETCH LONGER THAN THIS...WITH THE LONGEST STRETCH 170 DAYS FROM 11/10/35 TO 4/27/36 (DURING THE DUST BOWL ERA).
