NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 19, 5:15 PM CST, 6 hours 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 615 PM CDT WED JUL 19 2006 ...DANGEROUSLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE... .DISCUSSION... PREVIOUS DISCUSSION 315 PM. ANOTHER HOT DAY WAS IN PROGRESS ACROSS THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND 100 DEGREES. WATER VAPOR AND PROFILERS DEPICTED THAT THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINED ANCHORED OVERHEAD. LOWER DEWPOINTS HAD MIXED DOWN ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WHILE MOISTURE WAS POOLING OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS. EXTREME CAPE IN EXCESS OF 5000 J/KG HAD DEVELOPED WITHIN THE MOIST AXIS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAD RAPIDLY DEVELOPED WITHIN THIS INSTABILITY AXIS. ISOLATED STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FORM ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING THEN DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. A FEW STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE STRONG INSTABILITY. ALTHOUGH THE UPPER RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY RETROGRADE TO THE WEST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WE WILL REMAIN UNDER ITS INFLUENCE. HIGHS WILL AGAIN REACH THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WE WILL LIKELY SEE DEWPOINTS LOWER SOME IN THE AFTERNOON DUE TO DEEP MIXING. HOWEVER HEAT INDICES WILL STILL CLIMB TO NEAR OR ABOVE 105 ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. SHORTWAVES WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE RETREATING RIDGE. INITIAL IMPULSE IS PROGGED TO PUSH INTO EASTERN MISSOURI THURSDAY NIGHT AND SUPPORT A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX. THE EVOLUTION OF THIS CONVECTION IS UNCERTAIN BUT THE EASTERN OZARKS STAND TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE AND ACCOMPANYING FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA FRIDAY. WILL FOLLOW CLOSER TO THE SLOWER WFF MODEL SOLUTION WHICH SAGS THE FRONT INTO THE OZARKS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND SYNOPTIC SCALE ASCENT WILL SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INCREASING DEEP LAYERED SHEAR AND MODERATE INSTABILITY MAY SUPPORT A FEW SEVERE STORMS. COMPRESSIONAL WARMING AND AMPLE SUNSHINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH TEMPERATURES QUICKLY INTO THE MIDDLE 90S TO NEAR 100 BY EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WITH UNCERTAINTY IN MODEL SOLUTIONS AND EXTENT OF CLOUDINESS IN QUESTION...THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL NOT BE EXTENDED AT THIS TIME. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE WESTERN U.S. DURING THE WEEKEND WHILE A LONGWAVE TROUGH TAKES SHAPE OUT EAST. THIS WILL LEAVE OUR REGION UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW. A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL SETTLE INTO THE OZARKS THIS WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL. FOSTER && .AVIATION... FOR 00Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT FROM THE SOUTH TO WEST. THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ILLINOIS WILL AFFECT THE KSGF-KSTL TWEB ROUTE OVERNIGHT.
