AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 235 AM CDT WED AUG 2 2006 .DISCUSSION... WARM OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH READINGS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT...RANGING FROM IN THE UPPER 70S AROUND WEST PLAINS TO THE MID 80S NEAR JOPLIN AND PITTSBURG. SO FAR COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST HAS MADE LITTLE EASTWARD PROGRESS...WITH 2 AM LOCATION FROM ROCHESTER MN TO HILL CITY KS. NOT SURPRISED TO SEE LACK OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS AIRMASS REMAINS CAPPED BY +12 DEG C TEMPS AT 700 MB FROM EASTERN IOWA TO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. SEEING LITTLE CHANCE OVER OUR AREA FOR TODAY...WITH CONTINUED HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. HAVE SIMILAR CONCERNS FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AS WRF FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR 18Z WED SHOW CAPES AROUND 3500 J/KG AND WEAK TO NO CAP. LACK OF LOW LEVEL FOCUSING MECHANISM AS FRONT REMAINS TO OUR WEST SHOULD KEEP PRECIP CHANCES TOO LOW FOR MENTION IN ZONES/GRIDS AT THIS TIME. EXPECT COLD FRONT TO PICK UP SPEED TONIGHT AS UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER WY/MT PUSHES EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS SHOULD WEAKEN CAPPING INVERSION ENOUGH ALONG THE FRONT TO GET SOME STORMS GOING OVER NORTHERN MO...WITH POTENTIAL FOR STORM OUTFLOW TO GENERATE STORMS OVER OUR NORTH AND WEST ZONES...ROUGHLY FROM JOPLIN TO ROLLA AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON THURSDAY...WILL MAINTAIN STORM CHANCES SOUTHWARD OVER THE ENTIRE AREA...BUT HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN SLIGHTLY DUE TO CURRENT WRF/GFS TRENDS IN QPF...AND BETTER FORCING REMAINING NORTH OF THE OZARKS. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW RELATIVELY HIGH CAPE VALUES THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH THE SHAPE OF THE POSITIVE AREA BEING SKINNY AND TALL...LOOKS LIKE BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL. VERY HIGH FREEZING LEVEL WILL ALSO KEEP HAIL THREAT VERY LOW. WIND GUST THREAT ALSO LOOKS MARGINAL WITH WINDEX AROUND 40 AND DIMINISHING DRY LAYER ALOFT. HAVE LAGGED SLIGHT PRECIP CHANCES INTO FRIDAY FOR OUR EASTERN ZONES AS GFS/WRF GENERATE SOME LIGHT POST FRONTAL PRECIP. THEREAFTER... CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL DECREASE AS CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL HIGH STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BUILD WESTWARD FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND FORCE WESTERLIES BACK TO THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE U.S. THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TERRY && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE 06Z TAF CYCLE. SCATTERED DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS BETWEEN 5000 AND 7000 FEET ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE MORNING AS MIXING COMMENCES ACROSS THE REGION.

ORGANIZED CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STAY NORTHWEST OF THE KJLN AND KSGF TERMINALS THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z. SAW && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
