NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 21, 4:44 PM CST, 20 hours 16 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 544 PM CDT THU JUN 21 2007 ...UPDATE TO AVIATION... .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAFS...CU FIELD DIMINISHING WITH LOWERING SUN ANGLE EARLY THIS EVENING AND SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR SKY THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. WOULD EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE 00Z FORECAST CYCLE AT BOTH SGF/JLN. LINDENBERG && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 245 PM CDT THU JUN 21 2007/ DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - SATURDAY)... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS HAD A ROLE IN SUPPRESSING CONVECTION OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE ALSO ALLOWED SOME DRIER TO WRAP INTO THE REGION ORIGINATING FROM THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. AN AIRMASS HIGHER IN MOISTURE CONTENT LINGERED TO THE SOUTH ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS. THIS AIR WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD NORTHWARD OVER TIME. WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY CONFINED WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION TONIGHT...I DECIDED TO LOWER POPS TO AROUND ZERO FOR MOST LOCATIONS...KEPT A 5% CHANCE GOING FOR AREAS OF CENTRAL MISSOURI. HAVE TO ALSO KEEP A WATCH OUT FOR A RESIDUAL WEAKNESS OR SHEAR AXIS NOW CUTOFF WITHIN THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE. ALL MODELS SUGGEST THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG THIS FEATURE SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH AND WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. HEADING INTO TOMORROW...A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPS SOMEWHERE OVER IOWA TONIGHT MAY THROW OUTFLOW INTO MISSOURI. WITH A GRADUAL MOISTENING OF THE AIRMASS ALONG WITH HOT TEMPS...I COULD NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL BE MORE OF A SHORT TERM FORECAST PROBLEM ONCE WE SEE HOW TONIGHTS THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX BEHAVES. FOR FRIDAY NIGHT HEADING INTO SATURDAY...MODELS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT WITH SHOWING A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TO SET OFF CONVECTION OVER IOWA ONCE AGAIN. THIS WAVE CARVES WELL INTO THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE AND WILL LIKELY CREATE IMPACTS FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. AS A MATTER OF FACT I INCREASED PRECIP CHANCES UP TO 50 ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. LONG TERM (SUNDAY - WEDNESDAY)... RESIDUAL WEAKNESS WITHIN THE RIDGE AND ITS IMPACTS ON SENSIBLE CONDITIONS WAS THE MAIN FOCUS THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS. THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE BUILDS WELL INTO THE NATIONS MID SECTION...A PATTERN TYPICAL FOR LATE JULY AND AUGUST. ULTIMATELY ITS POSITIONING AND AXIS DIRECTLY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS WOULD SUGGEST HOT AND DRY WEATHER. HOWEVER THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH SHOW A WEAKNESS WITHIN THE RIDGE THAT WAS GENERATED BY A PREVIOUS OKLAHOMA/KANSAS MCC...AND CUTOFF FROM THE MAIN BELT OF WESTERLIES. HOW THIS WEAKNESS EVOLVES AND MOVES THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIODS REMAINS UNCERTAIN. THE GFS SHOWS A WEAK FRONT THAT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MISSOURI BY SUNDAYS DAY PERIOD. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME MOISTURE POOLING WHICH WILL BUMP PWATS UP INTO THE 1.60 INCH RANGE. IF CLOUD BREAKS OCCUR AND AFTERNOON HEATING IS ALLOWED...THEN SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE COMMON ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. BY EARLY NEXT WORK WEEK...THE GFS POSITIONS THE WEAKNESS OVER KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA...INDUCING DEEP GULF TRAJECTORIES DIRECTLY INTO EASTERN KANSAS AND MISSOURI. THIS WOULD REALLY PROMOTE A TROPICAL LIKE AIRMASS AND AGAIN...SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION IS A GOOD BET ON A DAILY BASIS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD SOAR UNDER THIS TYPE OF REGIME...HOWEVER...ANY AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS AND CLOUD COVER WILL LOCALLY BE LIMITED TO MID AND UPPER 80S FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SOAR INTO THE 90S...EVEN THE MORE FORESTED EASTERN OZARKS COULD EXPERIENCE LOW TO MID 90S DUE TO THE DRIER THAN NORMAL SOIL CONDITIONS. ULTIMATELY TO SUM UP THE PERIODS SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...INTERESTS ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS CAN EXPECTED AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S...WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON A DAILY BASIS.
