NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 4, 1:39 PM CST, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 239 PM CDT FRI AUG 4 2006 .DISCUSSION... IN THE NEAR TERM...ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE ARKANSAS STATE LINE WHERE A 100MB MLCAPE OF 2000 J/KG AND AT LEAST MODEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE CAN OCCUR. THE BETTER CHANCES FOR TSTMS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM NORTHWEST AR INTO NORTHEAST OK. VISIBLE SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS ALSO SHOWING SOME ENHANCE CUMULUS AND ISOLATED CONVECTION JUST SOUTH OF KSGF. WE ALREADY HAVE ISOLATED THUNDER MENTIONED IN THE HWO...AND WILL UPDATE THE EVENING POPS AT THE LAST MINUTE BASED ON TRENDS. INSTABILITY REALLY DROPS OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY AS YOU HEAD NORTH FROM THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES...SO THE ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT WILL BE CONFINED THERE. FOR LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING...A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN KS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ENE INTO SW IA/NW/MO BY 1200Z. THE WRF INDICATES ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE ON THE 310K SURFACE OVER EASTERN KS AS A MODEST SSW-SW-LY LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS TO OUR WEST LATE TONIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT THE BETTER CHANCES FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL BE TO OUR NORTHWEST WITH THIS SCENARIO WHERE THE STRONGER LOW LEVEL FLOW IS PROGGED. OVERNIGHT SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR TRENDS...BUT FOR NOW HAVE TAKEN OUT LATE NIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING RAIN CHANCES...ALBEIT SLIGHT ANYWAY. THE MIDLEVEL RIDGING WHICH HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT SUPPRESSED THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS RETURNS/SHIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND SHOULD BRING A RETURN OF NEAR 100 DEGREE READINGS IN SOME AREAS. THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS HIGH PRESSURE MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE WAKE OF A VIGOROUS UPPER SYSTEM PROGGED MOVING EAST ALONG THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. THE WRF CONTINUES TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS FRONT...MOVING IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY. THE GFS IS LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE FRONT...AND KEEPS THE BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA. THE ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE FOR SOME DIURNAL ISOLATED CONVECTION ON SUNDAY...MONDAY...OR TUESDAY WITH APPROACH/PRESENCE OF THIS FEATURE...BUT WITH THE MIDLEVEL RIDGE REASSERTING ITSELF...BELIEVE ANY COVERAGE WOULD BE MINIMAL. THE ECMWF AND GFS HINT THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL AGAIN BE SUPPRESSED TOWARD THE END OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE GFS ACTUALLY RETROGRADES THE RIDGE LEAVING US IN NORTHWEST MIDLEVEL FLOW WHILE THE ECMWF JUST SUPPRESSES THE RIDGE SOUTHWARD. IN EITHER CASE...THE DOOR MAY BE OPENED FOR A FRONTAL PASSAGE...OR AT LEAST SOME TYPE OF MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION LATE IN THE EXTENDED. FOR NOW...JUST HAVE SLIGHT POPS GOING FOR THAT TIME PERIOD. DSA && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT BOTH THE SGF AND JLN TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY EXISTS OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS...WHICH COULD PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS BORDER. HOWEVER...EXPECT ACTIVITY TO REMAIN SOUTH AND EAST OF THE JLN/SGF TERMINALS. WILL NEED TO MONITOR POTENTIAL SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST OF JLN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. GAEDE && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO SGF
