NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 9, 1:42 PM CST, 3 hours 51 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 242 PM CDT WED AUG 9 2006 .DISCUSSION... PRESSURE ADVECTIVE PROCESSES IN COINCIDENT WITH MINOR SHORTWAVE LIFT OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI TRIGGERED A BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. AT 245PM...PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER LIMITED TEMPERATURES ALONG THE OZARK PLATEAU...WHILE SURROUNDING LOCATIONS QUICKLY WARMED INTO THE UPPER 90S AND 100S. I THINK THAT EVENTUALLY AREAS ALONG THE PLATEAU WILL WARM INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S AS SOON AS CLOUD COVER ERODES. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES ALONG THE MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS BORDER NEAR WEST PLAINS. THINK THAT INSTABILITY LEVELS IN MISSOURI WILL REMAIN IN CHECK AND NOT BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS. DEW POINTS NORTH AND WEST OF THE PLATEAU HAVE MIXED INTO THE MID 60S...WHICH IS ALSO KEEPING INSTABILITY AT AN INSUFFICIENT LEVEL FOR SEVERE UPDRAFTS. THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGES WERE TEMPERATURES...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...AND POPS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - THURSDAY NIGHT)... A FEW EVENING SHOWERS COULD LINGER OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS TONIGHT...HOWEVER WOULD SUSPECT THAT ALL ACTIVITY WILL END UPON SUNSET. OVERNIGHT LOWS WERE WARMER THAN EXPECTED THIS MORNING AND WILL FOLLOW THIS TREND FOR TONIGHTS TEMPERATURES. I WILL KEEP THE OVERNIGHT HOURS DRY...HOWEVER...A CIRCULATION CENTER NEAR DODGE CITY KANSAS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED BY THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHIFTS. THURSDAY COULD PROVE TO BE AN INTERESTING DAY AS A COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH OF I-70 BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. INTENSE HEATING IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL CREATE A HIGHLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT FROM WEST CENTRAL MO TO THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS LIKELY TOWARD THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH DAMAGING MICROBURST WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY HAZARD. TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO SOMEWHAT OF A CHALLENGE...AND DECIDED TO WARM VALUES A COUPLE OF DEGREES GREATER THAN MAV GUIDANCE. THE MET GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE AND WAS NOT FACTORED INTO THE FORECAST PROCESS. THINK THAT THE AREAL COVERAGE OF PRECIP WILL INCREASE FOR THURSDAY NIGHTS PERIOD AS THE FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL WAVE PUSHES DEEPER SOUTH INTO THE OZARKS REGION. WILL MAKE A FINAL DECISION ON POPS PRIOR TO ISSUANCE TIME...BUT MY INITIAL THOUGHTS ARE TO JACK CHANCES UP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED UPPER LEVEL LIFT WITH SHARPENING SHORTWAVE. LONG TERM (FRIDAY - TUESDAY)... MEAN RIDGE HOLDS STRONG OVER THE NATIONS MID SECTION THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THAT MEANS TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM EVEN AFTER THURSDAYS FRONTAL PASSAGE. THEREFORE I WENT AHEAD AND JACKED TEMPS BACK UP THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME QUESTION WAS PRESENTED IN EARLIER FORECASTS ON WHETHER OR NOT CLOUDS AND PRECIP COULD LINGER INTO SATURDAY NORTH OF THE FRONT...THEREFORE LIMITING TEMPERATURES AS WELL. GIVEN THE CONTINUED STRENGTH OF THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE AND THE LACK OF A SMALLER SCALE FOCUS THAT POSES A HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CLOUDS AND PRECIP...ILL PLACE MY MONEY ON THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE AND THE INCREASED VALUES OF SURFACE TO 850 THICKNESSES...WHICH SUGGESTS LOW TO MID 90S FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ANOTHER COLD FRONT TO SAG INTO THE AREA TOWARD MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. FOR NOW I HELD OFF ON POPS GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE. MODELS WILL LIKELY TREND THE TIMING BACK A DAY OR TWO...THAT IS IF THE FRONT EVEN COMES THROUGH. CRAMER && .AVIATION... NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE FROM THE PREVIOUS CYCLE. WILL MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS AND KEEP CB DURING THE AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN THE ISOLATED NATURE OF ANY ACTIVITY...WILL KEEP OUT OF THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. SCHULTZ && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED: THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN...CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING: ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. DISCUSSION: A MOIST AND MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL CAUSE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. DUE TO THE LOW LEVELS OF INSTABILITY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT INTERACTING WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. THE ENVIRONMENT WILL LIKELY BECOME CONDUCIVE FOR THE GENERATION OF MICROBURSTS THAT WILL CAUSE DAMAGING WINDS TO OCCUR IN AREAS IMPACTED BY THE STRONGEST STORMS. IN ADDITION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW...AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
