NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 23, 2:22 PM CST, 1 hour 8 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 322 PM CDT SAT JUN 23 2007 .DISCUSSION... MCV MOVED INTO NORTHWEST AR THIS AFTERNOON WHILE AN UPPER TROUGH ALSO APPROACHED THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. PROFILERS INDICATE THAT THE TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS FROM NE MO INTO EXTREME SW MO/SE KS WITH 500MB WINDS VEERING AT NEODESHA DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS AS SUPPRESSED CONVECTION OVER THE NW HALF OF THE CWFA SO FAR. ANOTHER BOUNDARY MARKED (OR IN PART PRODUCED BY) THE LEADING EDGE OF CU FIELD OVER NORTHERN MO IS ALSO PUSHING SOUTH. GIVEN THE INSTABILITY OVER THE FORECAST AREA...FAIRLY UNIFORM MLCAPES OF 1000-1500 J/KG IN AREAS NOT WORKED OVER BY FRESH CONVECTION...BELIEVE WE CAN STILL SEE SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WESTERN CWFA THIS AFTERNOON...BUT ATTM NOT EXPECTING A GREAT AMOUNT OF COVERAGE. FOR NOW HAVE MY HIGHEST POPS WHERE ONGOING CONVECTION IS OCCURRING OVER SOUTH CNTRL MO...AND MAY HAVE TO ADJUST FURTHER BASED ON TRENDS. HAVE A PERSISTENCE FORECAST...MORE OR LESS...FOR THE NEXT THREE-FOUR DAYS. A WEAK UPPER SHEAR AXIS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE AREA. THE MAIN EMPHASIS FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN CWFA...BUT WILL HAVE DAYTIME AND EVENING RAIN CHANCES EVERYWHERE TO SOME DEGREE. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF AMPLIFY THE UPPER PATTERN LATE IN THE WORK WEEK (THU-FRI) WITH A RIDGE AXIS OVER THE ROCKIES LEAVING OUR REGION IN NW FLOW ALOFT. THE GFS MOVES A COLD FRONT INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MO/SE KS THU/THU NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE ECMWF IS SHOWING A SIMILAR TENDENCY BUT IS A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE FROPA. HAVE MAINTAINED POPS FOR THE THU-FRI TIME PERIOD...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH MED RANGE MODEL TRENDS TO BETTER NAIL DOWN TIMING IN LATER PERIODS. WENT FAIRLY CLOSE TO MOS GUIDANCE AND/OR PERSISTENCE FOR TEMPERATURES. WE STILL HAVENT REACH 90 DEG F AT KSGF YET THIS YEAR...USUALLY A CHARACTERISTIC OF A RELATIVELY MOIST SPRING. DSA && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAF CYCLE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED AROUND ANY STORMS. THE STORMS WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH A FEW LOW CLOUDS REMAINING...ALTHOUGH NOT ENOUGH TO CARRY ANY CEILINGS. AM EXPECTING SOME LIGHT FOG LATER TONIGHT AT BOTH TAF LOCATIONS. BROUGHT VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 6SM WITH A TEMPO FOR 5SM. PREVAILING WINDS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING WILL REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. SCHAUMANN && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
