NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 14, 5:18 PM CST, 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 618 PM CDT MON AUG 14 2006 .UPDATE... ENVIRONMENT OVER MOST OF THE WATCH AREA IN OUR CWA HAS BEEN WORKED OVER AND THE SEVERE THREAT IS DIMINISHING. WATCH WILL LIKELY BE CLEARED SHORTLY. IZZI && .DISCUSSION... CURRENTLY...PREFRONTAL TROUGH HAS CLEARED THE EASTERN PORTION OF MY CWFA...HOWEVER THE AIRMASS CHANGE (LOWER DEWPOINTS/COOLER AIR) IS LAGGING WELL BEHIND...JUST NOW SAGGING INTO WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES WILL DRIVE OUR CONVECTIVE CHANCES FOR THE REST OF TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PLENTIFUL AND A 200MB SHEAR AXIS ROTATING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA. TONIGHT...DEVELOPMENT FROM THIS AFTERNOON WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS....WEAKENING/DISSIPATING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. WILL LIKELY NEED TO MAKE A LAST MINUTE DECISION ON THE POPS BEFORE ISSUANCE...BUT FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN CHC CATEGORY ALONG/SE OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR. THE COLD FRONT WILL EDGE ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND DEWPOINTS WILL GRADUALLY DROP THROUGH THE 60S. MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL SPREAD OVER THE REGION...BUT TEMPS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO COOL INTO THE LOW/MID 60S AREA WIDE. TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE SFC FRONT WILL STALL JUST TO THE SW OF THE AREA AND BECOME DIFFUSE WITH TIME. THIS FEATURE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH OF A FOCUS FOR A FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING SHRA/TSRA (MAINLY TUE AND WED) OVER FAR W/SW ZONES...BUT CHANCES APPEAR LOW AT THIS TIME. RELATIVELY COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A NICE CHANGE FROM THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS... WITH TEMPS AT OR JUST BELOW AVERAGE. LOW TEMPS WILL BE QUIET NICE TUE NIGHT...WITH LOW/MID 60S COMMON THROUGHOUT THE AREA. 200-400MB RH PROGS FROM BOTH THE WRF-NAM AND GFS SUGGEST A BROKEN BAND OF CLOUD COVERAGE FOR TUESDAY...AND THIS WILL ALSO AID IN COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR TUESDAY. THIS COOLING WILL BE RATHER SHORT-LIVED AS A WARMING TREND WILL COMMENCE THURSDAY. TYPICAL AUGUST TEMPS IN THE LOWER/MIDDLE 90S ARE EXPECTED. FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MED RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT W/RT THE EVOLUTION OF THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. TYPICAL DIFFERENCES EXIST IN HOW THESE MODELS HANDLE SHORTWAVE ENERGY...PARTICULARLY A WAVE THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH S CANADA/N CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND. OVERALL...TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AT OR ABOVE AVERAGE...WITH THE ONLY HOPE FOR COOLER TEMPS HINGING UPON POTENTIAL FOR CLOUDS/RAINFALL. A FRONT WILL FLIRT WITH THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND...BUT GIVEN PROGGED ZONAL FLOW/FLAT RIDGE ALOFT...THIS FEATURE WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP A BIT TO LOW END CHC SATURDAY AND SILENT SLIGHTS SUN/MON WITH THE HOPES OF BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE COMING MODEL SOLUTIONS. GAGAN && .AVIATION... FOR THE 0000 UTC TAFS...APPEARS AS THOUGH THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF BOTH TERMINALS THIS EVENING WITH DRIER MORE STABLE AIRMASS GRADUALLY WORKING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. STILL SOME SCT-BKN MVFR CIGS IN A BAND FROM SOUTHERN KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. GFS/NAM BOTH SHOW THIS MOISTURE MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI TONIGHT HOWEVER RH WITHIN THIS LAYER IS PROGGED TO GRADUALLY DECREASE. FOR NOW ONLY INTRODUCING SCT020 DECK INTO THE TERMINALS BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR SATELLITE TRENDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS TO SEE HOW THIS CLOUDINESS EVOLVES AND MAY NEED TO INTRODUCE SOME MVFR CIGS INTO THE TERMINALS FOR TONIGHT IN AN AMENDMENT. ANY STRATUS WILL MOVE OUT THE AREA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WITH JUST SOME SCT CUMULUS EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH BASES AROUND 040 INCREASING TO 060 AS MIXED LAYER DEEPENS DURING THE AFTERNOON. INITIALLY LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL SLOWLY VEER AROUND TO NE TONIGHT AND EASTERLY TUESDAY. IZZI && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO SGF
