AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 255 PM CDT MON AUG 7 2006 .DISCUSSION... CUMULUS FIELD CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND SOUTH OF UPPER LEVEL SHEAR AXIS ALONG THE I-44 CORRIDOR AS TEMPERATURES APPROACHED THE MID 90S. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SEVERAL WEAK LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES AROUND THE AREA. THE MOST NOTICEABLE ARE FROM NORTHEAST WRIGHT TO SOUTHWEST BARRY COUNTY...AND FROM HERMITAGE TO EAST OF JOPLIN. THE LATEST LAPS DATA SHOWED WEAK CONVECTIVE INHIBITION OVER NORTHWEST COUNTIES AND NO INHIBITION ELSEWHERE. CAPES ARE HIGHEST OVER OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES...EXCEEDING 2000 J/KG OVER SHANNON...TEXAS ...PHELPS AND DENT COUNTIES. THE WET MICROBURST SEVERITY INDEX SHOWED THE HIGHEST VALUES OVER OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES JUST BEFORE NOON. WE SAW A COUPLE OF CELLS DEVELOP ON RADAR BRIEFLY BEFORE DISSIPATING EARLIER...HOWEVER OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR OR SO...CELLS OVER MARIES COUNTY HAVE MANAGED TO MAINTAIN THEIR STRUCTURE. THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON...WE SHOULD SEE STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA...WITH BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS NEAR BOUNDARIES AND SHEAR AXIS MENTIONED EARLIER. MOST OF THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DIE DOWN AFTER SUNSET...WITH STORM POTENTIAL CONTINUING OVER CENTRAL/WEST CENTRAL MO THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. WEAK SEMI-SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NE MO TO EAST CENTRAL KS DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO OUR NORTHERN ZONES. COULD POTENTIALLY SEE AN MCS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND RIDE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS...PRECIP FORECAST WILL REMAIN COMPLICATED BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COMBINED WITH THE BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN MO MEANDERING ACROSS THE REGION. UPPER LEVEL HIGH BUILDS WESTWARD FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TOWARD THE PLAINS...AND WILL HELP HEAT UP THE REGION. HOWEVER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS PRETTY THICK SO EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION OVER THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THURSDAY. GOING INTO THE WEEKEND...HAVE PRETTY MUCH GONE WITH THE ECMWF AND KEPT COOLER TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY WITH RAIN CHANCES THURS NIGHT/FRIDAY AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH HELPS DROP A COLD FRONT OVER THE AREA...POTENTIALLY BRINGING SOME RELIEF FROM SEMI-PERSISTENT HOT TEMPS. THE BREAK LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA SUNDAY/MONDAY. && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF VICINITY THUNDER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CUMULUS FIELD THICKENING OVER THE AIRPORTS. THE KSGF RADAR IS STILL CLEAR...BUT EXPECT THIS TO CHANGE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITY THROUGH 18Z TUES. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. TERRY
