AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 615 AM CDT FRI SEP 7 2007 .DISCUSSION... HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING IN SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN FOR TODAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL DURING THIS PERIOD...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE EXTENDED TO COVER THE ENTIRE COUNTY WARNING AREA AND WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON ON SUNDAY. THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL ARRIVES TODAY WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT. CURRENTLY THIS FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR KANSAS CITY SOUTHEASTWARD NEAR WICHITA. OVERNIGHT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ALONG THE FRONT WITH AN IMPRESSIVE AREA OF RAIN NOW MOVING THROUGH NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI. DURING THE DAY...THIS FRONT WILL BE MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OUR FORECAST AREA WHERE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN HIGH. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE FOR THIS FRONT TO WORK WITH... THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN WITH LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS HIGH TODAY. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT OF STALLING THIS FRONT NEAR THE MISSOURI/ARKANSAS STATE LINE OVER THE WEEKEND. WITH THE ORIENTATION OF THIS FRONT RESIDING PERPENDICULAR TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING OVER THE AREA...THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE. ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE WEEKEND FORECAST IS THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE HENRIETTE. THIS MOISTURE IS CURRENTLY IN THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND MOVING NORTHEASTWARD. IF THIS MOISTURE CAN REACH SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI...RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHER. DEPENDING UPON EXACTLY WHERE THIS FRONT STALLS AND WHERE THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE HENRIETTE ENDS UP...SOME COUNTIES IN CENTRAL KANSAS COULD BE SHAVED FROM THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF HEAVY RAIN OCCURRING CLOSER TO THE STALLED FRONT. THE LAST CHALLENGE TO THE FORECAST IS ANOTHER COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL UPON SATURATED SOILS...THUS THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL FLOODING. AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THIS FRONT...DRY AND COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL PUT AN END TO THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN. ANGLE && .AVIATION... FOR THE 1200 UTC KSGF/KJLN TAFS...STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OVERHEAD THIS MORNING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 45-50KTS WILL CAUSE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT BOTH AIRFIELDS THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WITH HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURRING AFTER 18Z. SHOULD SEE PREDOMINANT MVFR CONDITIONS AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES WITH IFR CONDITIONS IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF RAIN TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH A FRONT BECOMING STALLED OVER SOUTHERN MO/AR BORDER AREA. GCC && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
