NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 17, 6:12 PM CST, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE AVN NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 712 PM CDT SAT JUN 17 2006 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WILL FOCUS ON RAIN CHANCES. A VERY MOIST AIRMASS IS IN PLACE AND AN ELONGATED SHEAR AXIS AHEAD OF AN UPPER DISTURBANCE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO INITIATE AREAS OF SHRA/TSRA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY. REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...WATCHING TWO DISTINCT AREAS OF LIFT. THE FIRST OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWFA WHERE WIDESPREAD SHRA AND A FEW EMBEDDED TSRA HAVE FORMED ON A NORTH TO SOUTH AXIS. WITH THIS AREA UNDER WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND RAIN TODAY...INSTABILITY IS SUPPRESSED AND NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN RAIN AND AN OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKE OR TWO. THE SECOND AREA OF LIFT IS JUST NOW ENTERING THE CWFA FROM SE KS. THIS ACTIVITY IS MOVING INTO AN AREA WHERE BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVERAGE HAVE LED TO A LITTLE BETTER INSTABILITY. ALTERING THE 12Z SGF SOUNDING FOR MID 80S TEMPS AND MID/UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS YIELDS SBCAPE AROUND 2000 J/KG AND MLCAPES IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. THIS SHOULD HELP MAINTAIN (IF NOT EXPAND) THE AREA OF SHRA/TSRA AS IT MOVES INTO WESTERN MO A LITTLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT...FELT IT PRUDENT TO CONTINUE LIKELY POPS INTO THIS EVENING AS LITTLE TO HOLD BACK SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT. CLOUD COVER HAS LED TO LOWER INSTABILITY... BUT THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HELP KEEP THE STRENGTH OF THIS ACTIVITY AT BAY. GOOD LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONTINUED CLOUD COVER WILL HELP KEEP LOW TEMPS IN THE 65-70F RANGE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...THE LATEST SUITE OF MODEL OUTPUT REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH A PROGRESSIVE EXIT TO THE UPPER SUPPORT...THUS RAIN CHANCES WILL DWINDLE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THIS TIME FRAME. PARTIAL CLEARING WILL FIRST OCCUR OVER WESTERN ZONES AND HAVE BUMPED UP TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ACCORDINGLY. HIGHEST (LIKELY) POPS WERE PLACED OVER EASTERN ZONES WHERE THE BEST SUPPORT WILL BE. AS FAR AS TSRA POTENTIAL IS CONCERNED...CLOUD COVER WILL ONCE AGAIN KEEP INSTABILITY IN CHECK OVER THE OZARKS AND ONLY AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DOWNBURST WINDS. ASIDE FROM A LINGERING CHC OF SHRA/TSRA SUN EVENING IN THE WEST PLAINS VICINITY...RAIN BEARING POPS WERE SHIFTED EASTWARD. GAGAN MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY...MEDIUM AND LONG RANGE MODELS ARE ALL IN RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. A LOOK AT THE ECMWF...UKMET AND GFS SHOWERS NEARLY THE SOME PLACEMENT OF THE SOUTHWESTERN 500MB HIGH AND THE INITIALIZED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER KANSAS/MISSOURI. WITH SUCH GOOD AGREEMENT...WAS HARD NOT TO GO WITH THE GFS SOLUTION. THUS...WITH THE RIDGE MIGRATING EASTWARD...AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SWINGS OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE U.S....WILL SEE WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS RETURN TO THE REGION FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. THE NEXT SYSTEM...NOW OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA...WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CANADIAN PROVINCES AND DRAG AN UPPER LEVEL TROF ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EARLY ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO URGE A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE PLAINS. AS THE TROF MOVES EAST...THE FRONT WILL LAY OUT ACROSS KANSAS AND CENTRAL MISSOURI AND SLOWLY PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA INTO FRIDAY AND THEN BECOME DIFFUSE ACROSS ARKANSAS. THIS WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FROM LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. AS THE TROF ON THURSDAY/FRIDAY MOVES EAST THE SOUTHWESTERN HIGH WILL SHIFT WEST AND THE OZARKS WILL COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS WILL ALLOW A SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE TO MOVE DOWN FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS BRINGING A BRIEF COOL DOWN FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKEND. ALL IN ALL...WENT CLOSE TO GUIDANCE ON TEMPERATURES AND BUMPED PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO SLIGHTS THURSDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY BASES ON GFS AND ENSEMBLE NUMBERS. HATCH && .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAF PACKAGE...LINE PUSHING THROUGH JLN AT THIS TIME BRINGING PERIODS OF LIFR WITH HEAVY SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDENERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. LINE SHOULD BE INTO SGF BY 01Z. EXPECT PREDOMINANT MVFR CEILING CONDITIONS TO PERSIST OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE BREAKING UP SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GCC && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. WFO SGF
