NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 11, 1:09 PM CST, 3 hours 8 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 209 PM CDT TUE JUL 11 2006 .DISCUSSION... ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM... IN THE SHORT TERM...GOING POP AND WEATHER GRIDS LOOK IN GOOD SHAPE SO MADE ONLY MINOR TWEAKS. SHOULD SEE PRECIP INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER NOON AS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF MCVS OVER OKLAHOMA AND MISSOURI MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. VORTICITY MAX ASSOCIATED WITH 500MB TROUGH WILL COINCIDE WITH THIS TO ENHANCE CONVECTION. LLJ OF 10-25KTS NOT MUCH TO WORK WITH BUT ISENTROPIC LIFT EFFECT NOTED ON 310K SURFACE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE AIRMASS OVER THE OZARKS REMAINS VERY MOIST WITH THE 12Z SGF SOUNDING DEPICTING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.9 INCHES. WATER VAPOR AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS A SHORTWAVE CONTINUING TO MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE PLAINS. A SURFACE FRONT REMAINS STRETCHED FROM IOWA INTO OKLAHOMA. WITH THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS...HAVE PUT THE MENTION OF PATCHY FOG IN THE GRIDS. WHILE MOST AREAS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 5SM VISIBILITY SOME LOCATIONS COULD SEE LOWER VISIBILITIES. UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE REMAINS IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH MID WEEK AS WESTERN RIDGE BEGINS TO FLATTEN OUT AND SOUTHWESTERN HIGH RETREATS TO THE WEST. THIS WILL KEEP THE REGION RATHER ACTIVE INTO THURSDAY AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVES RIDE THE UPPER PATTERN INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. AND INTERACT WITH THE MOIST AIRMASS THAT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. HATCH EXTENDED PERIOD REMAINS UNCHANGED TO PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY RISING TO NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR EARLY/MID JULY. THIS BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE AND POSSIBLY BECOME MORE UNCOMFORTABLE BY THIS WEEKEND. PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAIN LOW BUT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND NEARLY NO CAP IN PLACE AS 85/70H TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN CHECK...AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...THERE REMAINS NO FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO FORM AT THIS TIME. THEREFORE...KEPT 13/20 PERCENT CHANCES OF RAINFALL FOR THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. DGEX REMAINS ONE OF THE OUTLIERS AS IT TRIES TO BEGIN A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. HPC HAS DOWNPLAYED THIS SCENARIO...BUT THE OVERALL MEAN OF THE ENSEMBLES AND TRENDS DO SUGGEST A WEAKENING TREND OF THE RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH A BROAD TROUGH DEVELOPING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION OF HOW THIS LONG WAVE TROUGH DEVELOPS AND IF WE GET A BREAK IN THE HEAT NEXT WEEK... JLT && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...WEATHER AROUND BOTH TAF SITES WILL INCLUDE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR CEILINGS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH 05Z. CEILINGS WILL IMPROVE BRIEFLY AROUND MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE REGION RETURNING MVFR CONDITIONS TO THE AREA. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY SOME STRONGER WIND GUSTS. HATCH && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
