NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 1:30 PM CST, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 230 PM CDT MON JUL 10 2006 .DISCUSSION... WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RISING TO NEAR 2 INCHES...WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND A FAIRLY STRONG THERMAL GRADIENT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN EXTREME IN PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI WHERE LOCALLY FOUR TO SIX INCHES FELL IN THE HEAD WATERS OF THE JACKS FORK RIVER BASIN IN SOUTHERN TEXAS COUNTY. THE THERMAL/MOISTURE GRADIENT ALONG THE 85H TROUGH WILL ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUATION OF CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. FORECAST CONCERNS DEAL WITH FLOODING POTENTIAL AND THE OVERALL MOVEMENT OF THE 85H TROUGH AND WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY AS IT RELATES TO PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS MOST LIKELY PLACE OF HIGHEST RAINFALL AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE ALONG THE I-44 CORRIDOR AS THE 85H TROUGH AND THERMAL GRADIENT REMAINS IN TACK. QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE BASED ON HPC GUIDANCE AND LATEST RUC/RADAR TRENDS FOR THIS EVENING. WILL LIKELY SEE AREAL AMOUNTS OF 0.50 TO 1.50 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI BETWEEN 21-03Z. FLOODING CONCERNS WILL REMAIN WEAK DUE TO THE PERSISTENT DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN THE PAST YEAR. HOWEVER...LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE FLOOD PRONE AREAS OF THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS DUE TO THE HIGH RAINFALL RATES EXPECTED. LATER FORECAST WILL BE BASED ON A BLEND OF THE GFS/WRF AS BOTH HAVE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES...BUT HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A WETTER SCENARIO FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE 85H TROUGH HOLDS NEAR THE REGION. WILL NOT GET TO OVERWHELM ON PERCENTAGES...BUT 50/50 LOOKS GOOD SO FAR WITH A SLOW DECREASE FROM SOUTHWEST MISSOURI TO CENTRAL MISSOURI BY THURSDAY MORNING AS THE MAIN LOW/MID LEVEL CONVERGENCE SIGNAL BECOME WEAKER. LATEST GFS/WRF TRENDS ARE SHOWING A BROAD TROUGH AT UPPER LEVELS (CENTRAL ROCKIES/UPPER MIDWEST) BY THE WEEK/WEEKEND. HAVE ALREADY TRENDED FOR A MORE STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED RANGE...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SCENARIO AND A BROAD UPPER LOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO... JLT PREVIOUS DISCUSSION OF LONG TERM AT 1130 AM. LONG TERM TRENDS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN DEVELOPING ACROSS THE OZARKS...WITH A TYPICAL SUMMER TYPE UPPER RIDGE PARKED ACROSS THE UPPER MID WEST/NORTHERN PLAINS. MEAN GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES SHOWED THE HIGHEST THICKNESS VALUES AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AREA LIKELY. REAL-TIME STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES AT THE 85H DONT INDICATE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR (OZARKS/SOUTHEAST KANSAS) TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE NORMAL MEANS. HOWEVER...THE CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS AND NO AIR MASS REPLACEMENT FOR SURFACE CONDITIONS...BELIEVE HIGHS IN THE MID 90S LOOK GOOD WITH HEAT INDICES APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO FINE TUNE THE LOCAL EFFECTS...BUT THIS SHOULD BE THE HOTTEST AND MOST HUMID FOR THIS SUMMER SO FAR. IN ADDITION...70H WILL BE LOW ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS WHERE WEAK CONVERGENCE MAY DEVELOP. JLT && .AVIATION... HAVE CONTINUED VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT SPRINGFIELD AND JOPLIN AND CARRIED SOME TEMPO THUNDER THROUGH 20Z TO 21Z TO ACCOUNT FOR SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING WITHIN DESTABILIZING AIRMASS OVER SOUTHWEST MO. BASED ON OBSERVED CLOUD TRENDS...BROUGHT CEILINGS BRIEFLY BELOW 2000 FEET AT SPRINGFIELD. WILL REMAIN MORE OPTIMISTIC AT JOPLIN WHERE TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS ARE GREATER. WILL CARRY VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING UNTIL SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS MOVES ACROSS TAF SITES. THEREAFTER WILL CARRY MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 12Z THROUGH 15-18Z.
