NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 11, 5:46 PM CST, 5 hours 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 646 PM CDT FRI AUG 11 2006 ...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW... .DISCUSSION... PERSISTENT ISOLATED WEAK CONVECTION HAS OCCURRED IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES TODAY IN AN AREA OF WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. NEXT APPROACHING SHORTWAVE FROM THE NORTHWEST SHOWS UP NICELY IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...PROFILERS...AND AVAILABLE AIRCRAFT DATA. AS THIS FEATURE MOVES INTO EAST CENTRAL MO...THE WRF DOES BREAK OUT SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE MO OZARKS. INSTABILITY...MLCAPE OF 1500 J/KG...AND MOISTENING MID LAYERS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURE MAKE THIS PLAUSIBLE. HAVE ADDED SOME SLIGHT/CHANCE POPS OVER THIS AREA FOR THIS EVENING. IT SHOULD BE A QUIET START TO THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS TO OUR WEST IS STILL PROGGED TO SHIFT EAST OVER OUR REGION SATURDAY. HAVE BUMPED UP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY OVER GFS MOS. I MAY PUT SOME PATCHY FOG INTO THE GRIDS FOR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SATURDAY...BUT AM A LITTLE CONCERNED WHAT THE STRATUS OVER NORTHEAST MO MAY DO TONIGHT. BELIEVE IT MAY MAKE A BIT OF A MOVE TO THE S-SW. HYDROLAPSE RATES OFF THE PROGGED WRF SOUNDINGS DO NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING MORE THAN PATCHY WORDING. ANY AREAS THAT RECEIVED ABUNDANT RAINFALL RECENTLY MAY SEE SOMEWHAT MORE FOG. THE GFS AND ECMWF SUPPRESS THE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH ALLOWING THE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK. HAVE BUMPED UP RAIN CHANCES A LITTLE MORE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF BUILD THE UPPER RIDGE BACK TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AGAIN LATE IN THE WEEK IN RESPONSE TO A SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. WOULDNT BE SHOCKING TO SEE SOME CONVECTION BEYOND TUESDAY IN THE EXTENDED DEPENDING ON WHERE LOW LEVEL FEATURES/FRONTS SET UP...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL BE OFF WELL TO OUR NORTH-NORTHWEST. DSA && .AVIATION... FOR THE 0000 UTC TAFS...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER POLK COUNTY EARLY THIS EVENING CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTHWARD AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SGF COULD SEE A TSTM BETWEEN ABOUT 0030-0130 UTC...BUT SINCE COVERAGE IS SO LOW ONLY INCLUDED TS IN THE VC FOR NOW. ANY ISOLD TS WILL END BY SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH SKIES BECOMING CLEAR. LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...AND SOMEWHAT MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER FROM RECENT RAINFALL COULD ALLOW FOR SOME PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT. ONLY TOOK VIS DOWN TO MVFR IN TAFS FOR NOW...HOWEVER POTENTIAL CERTAINLY EXISTS FOR A PERIOD OF IFR VIS BETWEEN 1100-1300 UTC AT BOTH TERMINALS AND 0600 UTC TAFS MAY NEED TO LOWER VIS ANOTHER CATEGORY. LIGHT FOG WILL BURN OFF QUICKLY SATURDAY MORNING WITH VFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED SAT WITH ONLY FEW-SCT DECK OF CUMULUS WITH BASES RISING TO OVER 5000FT AGL DURING THE AFTERNOON.
