NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 10, 5:54 PM CST, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 654 PM CDT THU AUG 10 2006 .UPDATE... INTERESTING SCENARIO EVOLVING EARLY THIS EVENING. A LOOSELY ORGANIZED MCS HAS DEVELOPED OVER EASTERN KANSAS BEING DRIVEN BY MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TRACKING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN KS...WHICH SHOWS UP NICELY IN THE VERTICAL TIME SERIES OF FAIRBURY NE PROFILER. IN ADDITION...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM TODAYS CONVECTION ACROSS THE OZARKS AND EASTERN KANSAS REMAINS QUITE DISCERNABLE ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS. TO THE NORTH OF THIS OUTFLOW NEODESHA PROFILER SHOWS PRONOUNCED VEERING FROM THE SFC TO ABOUT 1.5KM WITH ABOUT 15KT OF FLOW BEING LIFTING ISENTROPICALLY UP AND OVER THE COLD POOL. ANTICIPATE THE LOW LEVEL OFF THE SURFACE TO INCREASE THIS EVENING AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLES...WITH ABOUT 25-30KT LOW LEVEL WIND MAXIMUM RIDING UP AND OVER THE BOUNDARY. THIS SHOULD SUPPLY AN INCREASING FEED OF MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR INTO THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AS IT TRACKS ESE INTO THE OZARKS LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE OUR EVENING SOUNDING AND WHAT THE ENVIRONMENT LOOKS LIKE AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE AND THAT WILL HOPEFULLY SHED SOME MORE LIGHT ON HOW ORGANIZED THIS MCS WILL BECOME TONIGHT. IN THE MEANTIME WILL BE UPDATING GRIDS SHORTLY TO INCREASE POPS OVER OUR NW CWA AND INCREASING QPF SOME AS WELL. FURTHER GRIDDED UPDATES WILL BE MADE ONCE SOUNDING DATA COMES IN AND WE CAN GET A BETTER HANDLE ON HOW CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE TONIGHT. VERY MOIST AND WARM ENVIRONMENT SHOULD LEAD TO EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS AND COULD LEAD TO SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN PROGGED CORFIDI VECTORS INDICATE THAT THE TRAINING COULD OCCUR NEAR THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE MCS IF ONE ORGANIZES THIS EVENING. UPDATED GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT SHORTLY. IZZI && .DISCUSSION...//ISSUED AT 322 PM CDT THU AUG 10 2006// MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE CONVECTIVE CHANCES THROUGH TOMORROW AND TEMPERATURES IN LATER PERIODS. PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS HAS SHIFTED WEST OVER THE LAST DAY OR SO ALLOWING WEAK IMPULSES TO RIDE E-SE THROUGH THE MIDLEVEL FLOW. PROFILERS AND WATER VAPOR METSAT IMAGERY INDICATE ONE SUCH IMPULSE MOVING THROUGH MO THIS AFTERNOON. PERSISTENT CLOUDINESS AND MESO SFC HIGH OVER THE OZARKS HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES COOL. A WELL PRONOUNCED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM SOUTHEAST KS AND NORTHEAST OK INTO NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL AR AND SOME ISOLD-SCT STRONG CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE BOUNDARY WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE GETTING CLOSE TO 100 DEG F WITH MLCAPES OF 2000-2500 J/KG. ATTM..IT LOOKS TOO STABLE TO SEE MUCH OF SEVERE STORM THREAT...EXCEPT FOR OVER THE SW CORNER OF MO AND SOUTHEAST KS WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE IS EITHER ALREADY FAIRLY UNSTABLE OR MAY RECOVER QUICKLY FROM EXITING CLOUDINESS. ANOTHER AREA TO WATCH IN THE SHORT TERM IS ALONG THE AR BORDER IN SOUTH CENTRAL MO WHERE STORM MOTION AND INCREASING INSTABILITY MAY ALLOW STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION TO AFFECT THAT AREA IN THE NEAR TERM. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT EXTENDS FROM IA INTO SE NEB AND KS. THE FRONT AND AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT. ALREADY SEEING SOME STRONG-SEVERE CONVECTION OVER NORTHEAST KS AND BELIEVE THAT TREND SHOULD CONTINUE. CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED TO MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO WEST CENTRAL MO/SE KS THIS EVENING THEN INTO THE MO OZARKS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE WRF PROGGED 850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DOES INDICATE A FAIRLY GOOD CHANCE FOR SOME ONGOING CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF OVER 2 INCHES AND HIGH FREEZING LEVELS SHOULD LEAD TO EFFICIENT CONVECTIVE RAIN PRODUCERS. HAVE BUMPED UP RAIN CHANCES FOR TONIGHT REGIONWIDE INTO THE 50-60 POP RANGE. SEVERE STORM CHANCES MAY INCREASE ONCE AGAIN IF STORMS IN KS CAN ORGANIZE WITH A SUSTAINED COLD POOL AND THE AREA SOUTHEAST OF THAT CONVECTION CAN RECOVER FROM TODAYS CONVECTION. BELIEVE MOST THE PRECIP WILL PUSH SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION FRIDAY AND HAVE CONFINED POPS TO SOUTHERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL MO COUNTIES TO THE MORNING HOURS. THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH BUILD THE MIDLEVEL RIDGE BACK TO THE EAST OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE OUR GENERAL PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS STABLE OVER THE CONUS. HOWEVER...THE RIDGE AXIS DOES REMAIN FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO ALLOW YET ANOTHER WEAK/SUBTLE SHORTWAVE AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY-TUESDAY. SINCE THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PERSISTENT SCENARIO IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS...HAVE BUMPED UP RAIN CHANCES FOR THIS TIME FRAME (CHANCE CATEGORY). THE GFS DOES SHIFT THE 500MB RIDGE BACK TO THE NORTH LATE IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS OF THE FORECAST AND HAVE LEFT DAYS 6-7 WED-THU DRY FOR NOW AND WENT WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVAILABLE GUIDANCE. DSA && .AVIATION... FOR THE 0000 UTC TAFS...APPEARS AS THOUGH A LOOSELY ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IS TRYING TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN KANSAS. CONDITIONS APPEAR SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD THIS EVENING...LIKELY BEGINNING TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 02-05Z. AT THIS TIME ONLY INTRODUCED A TEMPO FOR TSRA AT JLN GIVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER PROBABILITIES AND SOONER POTENTIAL ARRIVAL TIME. AT SGF MAINTAINED VCTS FOR LATER THIS EVENING BUT WILL AMEND AS SOON AS IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL MAINTAIN THEMSELVES INTO THE AREA. ONCE THIS SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SHRA/TSRA MOVE OUT OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY WITH WINDS BECOMING NORTHEASTERLY. IZZI && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE ORGANIZING
OVER EASTERN KANSAS. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...THUNDERSTORMS WILL
OVERSPREAD THE OUTLOOK AREA FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. INSTABILITY

TWO INCHES IN AN HOUR OR LESS...WITH VERY LOCALIZED RAINFALL
TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 3 INCHES POSSIBLE TONIGHT. EVEN WITH THE DRY
