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.
