NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 13, 1:20 PM CST, 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 220 PM CDT TUE SEP 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... A CHANGE IN THE DRY WEATHER PATTERN THAT HAS PERSISTED ACROSS THE AREA THE PAST FEW WEEKS WAS UNDERWAY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A LONGWAVE TROUGH STRETCHED FROM THE CENTRAL CANADIAN PROVINCES INTO THE WESTERN U.S. WITH A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. A COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM WESTERN IOWA THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO TRAIN ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH ADDITIONAL ISOLATED ACTIVITY DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. MIXED LAYER CAPES WERE AROUND 1500 J/KG PROVIDING SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY. THE NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH EAST WHILE THE SUBTROPICAL BRANCH OF THE JET STREAKS INTO THE REGION. THE FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE OZARKS TONIGHT AND BECOME WEST TO EAST ORIENTED UNDERNEATH AN INCREASINGLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. GOOD INFLUX OF MOISTURE...FRONTAL SCALE FORCING...AND INCREASING SHEAR PROFILES WILL SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. INCREASING DEEP LAYERED SHEAR...A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET...AND INCREASING LIFT IN ASSOCIATION WITH A COUPLED JET SUGGEST CONVECTION MAY EVOLVE INTO A LINEAR MCS THAT WILL MIGRATE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL MAINLY OCCUR EARLY THIS EVENING AT THE HEIGHT OF INSTABILITY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES APPROACHING 2 INCHES AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS NEAR 14 DEGREES C COMBINED WITH AMPLE SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT SUGGEST LOCALLY RAINFALL IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN WHERE TRAINING CELLS DEVELOP. THE FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS ON WEDNESDAY. A SERIES OF MINOR SHORTWAVES WILL RIDE EASTWARD OVER THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. SOME QUESTION TO THE EXACT TRACK...TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THESE DISTURBANCES. HOWEVER THESE SYSTEMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ISENTROPIC ASCENT SHOULD KEEP THE CHANCE OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING INTO THURSDAY. THE HIGHEST RAIN PERCENTAGES WILL BE ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. THE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL FOR A CHANGE. RAIN CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF LATER THURSDAY AS THE LAST IN THE SERIES OF SHORTWAVES PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST. SOME QUESTION ABOUT POSSIBLE RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND AS RETURN FLOW SETS UP. IT APPEARS WARM AIR ADVECTION PRECIPITATION WILL BE FOCUSED TO OUR NORTH AND WEST IF IT DEVELOPS AT ALL. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FOSTER && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...MAIN CHALLENGE THIS TAF CYCLE IS WITH TS CHANCES THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS OVER KANSAS NOW WILL LIKELY DISRUPT DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTERNOON AND COULD HAMPER ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT. ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS TONIGHT TO KEEP PREVAILING/TEMPO THUNDER OUT OF TAFS FOR NOW...HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL AMEND TAFS PRIOR TO 00Z IF TS CHANCES/TIMING CAN BE PINNED DOWN BETTER. CIGS/VIS WILL LIKELY FALL TO MVFR IF NOT LOWER DURING THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE NO SIGNIFICANT AVIATION CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
