AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 245 PM CST THU MAR 9 2006 .DISCUSSION... VIGOROUS VORT MAX ALONG THE KS/MO BORDER AT MID AFTERNOON WILL MOVE STEADILY EASTWARD AND OUT OF THE REGION TONIGHT. LOOKS LIKE SOME SHOWERS AND MAYBE ISOLATED THUNDER WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS OUT...BUT SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. TODAYS STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A WSW FLOW ALOFT TOMORROW ALLOWING FOR A QUICK REBOUND IN TEMPERATURES AS A DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. FIRST PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL EJECT NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE WESTERN TROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. INCREASING WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS LEAD SHORTWAVE COULD ALLOW FOR SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BUT DEPTH OF THE MOISTURE AND SPEED OF MOISTURE RETURN LOOK QUESTIONABLE SO NOT INCLINED TO GO NUTS WITH POPS YET. AS THE SHORTWAVE PASSES TO OUR NORTH SATURDAY IT MAY ALLOW A WEAK FRONT TO SAG SOUTHWARD INTO MAINLY OUR NORTHERN CWA. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR A VERY WARM DAY SATURDAY. AS FRONT BECOMES STATIONARY ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL EJECT OUT OF THE WESTERN TROUGH AND ALLOW FOR RENEWED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY. ASSUMING CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW DOESNT RETARD ITS NORTHWARD PROGRESSION...THE FRONT SHOULD HEAD BACK NORTHWARD SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE MAIN PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY PROGGED TO RIDE OUT INTO THE PLAINS. SUNDAY SHOULD BE ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAG A FRONT THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING YET ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO THE AREA. GOING EXTENDED GRIDS APPEAR TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON BRINGING A SHOT OF COOLER AIR INTO THE AREA MONDAY INTO TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE WEEKEND SHORTWAVE. SHOULD SEE A RATHER QUICK REBOUND IN TEMPERATURES BY MIDWEEK AS WE TRANSITION BACK TO MORE OF A ZONAL FLOW BY MIDWEEK. IZZI && .AVIATION... IFR CEILINGS WILL ADVECT EAST THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. AREAS OF FOG AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL ALSO RESULT IN MVFR VISIBILITIES. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST NORTHWEST AT THE SPRINGFIELD TERMINAL BY 21Z. SKIES WILL CLEAR FROM THE WEST LATE THIS EVENING. PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY ONCE SKIES CLEAR.
