AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
336 PM CDT SAT JUN 19 2010
.DISCUSSION...
A LARGE SCALE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO RESIDE OVER
THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES INTO NEXT WEEK. WE WILL TEND TO BE ON
THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...SO SHOWERS AND STORMS CANNOT
BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. HOWEVER...THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WAS
THE EXPECTED HEAT AND HUMIDITY.
TONIGHT...OUTFLOW DOMINANT CONVECTIVE LINE SHOULD PRETTY MUCH HAVE
CLEARED THE AREA AND/OR WEAKENED BY SUNSET. MAY HAVE TO MAKE A
LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENT TO POPS TO COVER THIS. PLEASE REFER TO THE
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
MEANWHILE...TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS HAVE RECOVERED NICELY
TODAY BEHIND THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT PASSED THROUGH EARLY THIS
MORNING. SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI HAS BEEN A LITTLE SLOWER TO
RECOVER...BUT EVEN THE WEST PLAINS DEW POINT HAS GOTTEN BACK INTO
THE UPPER 60S. HOISTED A HEAT ADVISORY EARLIER OUT WEST AND IN
THE TRUMAN LAKE REGION. RECENT JOPLIN OBSERVATION CAME IN WITH A
HEAT INDEX OF 105. WILL GET MORE INTO THE LOGIC OF THE HEAT
ADVISORY IN A BIT.
ANOTHER CONCERN FOR THE TONIGHT PERIOD IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
ANOTHER MCS. DO THINK WE WILL SEE ONE OR PERHAPS TWO MORE CLUSTERS
OF STORMS DEVELOP TO OUR NORTH AND PUSH TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
ALTHOUGH UPWIND PROPAGATING STORMS WOULD BRING THEM INTO CENTRAL
MISSOURI...LOW LEVEL SHEAR VECTORS DO NOT FAVOR MUCH SOUTHWARD
PROGRESS. THEREFORE THINK WEAKENING STORMS PERHAPS CLIPPING
CENTRAL MISSOURI ARE THE BEST BET.
SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT ALL SYNOPTIC
TRIGGERS WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. MOST IF
NOT ALL MCS ACTIVITY SHOULD ALSO REMAIN NORTH. WIND FIELDS MAY
AGAIN FAVOR ACTIVITY CLIPPING CENTRAL MISSOURI TUESDAY NIGHT.
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO THEN INDICATE A SHORT WAVE TROUGH KNOCKING
DOWN THE RIDGE EVER SO SLIGHTLY AROUND MIDWEEK. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR
A FRONT TO NUDGE A BIT FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI.
THIS WOULD PUT A LOW LEVEL THETA E GRADIENT CLOSER TO THE MISSOURI
OZARKS...SO AN MCS OR TWO WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE STARTING
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AS FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION...MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE A BIT ON THE WARM SIDE FROM SUNDAY INTO
TUESDAY.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...SAW NO REASON TO STRAY FROM THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 90S FOR HIGHS AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE 21 TO 24
DEGREE CELSIUS RANGE. ALSO SEE LITTLE CHANGE TO DEW POINTS...WITH
MOST AREAS REMAINING IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. THIS WILL PUT
AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES INTO THE UPPER 90S AND LOWER 100S. SEVERAL
LOCATIONS BACK TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY 71 CORRIDOR AND IN THE TRUMAN
LAKE REGION HAVE SEEN HEAT INDICES AT OR ABOVE 100 FOR THE LAST 3
DAYS. WITH MORE OF THE SAME EXPECTED ON SUNDAY...AND WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS ONLY FALLING INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 70S...A HEAT
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH SUNDAY FOR THIS GENERAL AREA. IT
IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THIS ADVISORY MAY BE EXPANDED EASTWARD
AND EXTENDED IN TIME...IF THE CURRENT FORECAST HOLDS TRUE.

.AVIATION...
1800Z TAFS...
ONLY CONCERNS TO AVIATION THROUGH THIS TAF CYCLE WILL BE THREAT OF
CONVECTION. STORMS CURRENTLY IN NORTHERN MISSOURI MAY BEGIN TO
TURN SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THEM AFFECTING
THE TERMINALS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. ALSO A
CHANCE OF A FEW AIRMASS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG RESIDUAL
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ALL THAT BEING SAID...HAVE ONLY INDICATED CB
CLOUD GROUP IN TAFS AT THIS TIME DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING
AND COVERAGE AT ANY GIVEN TERMINAL.
OTHER THAN CONVECTIVE THREATS TODAY...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN FROM THE
SOUTH THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS...AND REMAIN AT OR BELOW 12 KTS.
CIGS COULD POTENTIALLY DROP INTO MVFR OR EVEN IFR IN
CONVECTION...BUT SHOULD REMAIN VFR OTHERWISE.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 151 PM CDT SAT JUN 19 2010/
..MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...
SVR WW 372 JUST ISSUED FOR MORGAN...MILLER...AND MARIES COUNTIES.
PROGRESSIVE MCS/BOW ECHO OVER NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI IS BEGINNING
TO MAKE A SE TURN AS OF 1845Z. SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE MCS
CONTINUES TO BECOME OUTFLOW DOMINATE...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WELL
AHEAD OF THE LEADING EDGE OF THE CONVECTION. NORTHERN PORTION OF
THE BOW IS CURRENTLY MORE ORGANIZED...AS IT PROGRESSES WEST
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF STRONGER BELT OF WESTERLIES AND
THUS STRONGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR. SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE MORE ORGANIZED
CONVECTION COULD CLIP EXTREME NE PORTION OF CWA WHERE WW 372 IS IN
EFFECT...BUT OTHERWISE SUSPECT THAT ANY ORGANIZED WIND THREAT WITH
THE MCS WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF SGF CWA.
OTHER CONCERN EARLIER THIS MORNING WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FURTHER
SOUTH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. 18Z SGF RAOB SOUNDING AS
ARRIVED...AND INDICATES VERY DEEP AND DRY LAYER OF AIR
ALOFT...ALONG WITH A WARM LAYER BETWEEN ABOUT 900 AND 700 MB. THIS
IS RESULTING IN ABOUT -150 J/K OF MLCINH...AND REALLY HAVE SERIOUS
DOUBTS THAT THIS CAN BE OVERCOME WITHOUT EITHER A MAJOR SOURCE OF
LIFT OR ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT SFC HEATING...NEITHER ONE OF
WHICH IS PRESENT. IF IT COULD BE OVERCOME...BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE
ALMOST NIL...SO ANY APPRECIABLE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION WILL BE
TOUGH TO COME BY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BUT CONVECTIVE CHANCES WOULD APPEAR TO BE
WANING AT THIS JUNCTURE.

A WEAKENING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE FROM THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR SOUTH INTO THE REST OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. A GUST FRONT WILL PRECEDE THE STORMS WITH 40 TO 45 MPH WINDS POSSIBLE. BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED...BUT WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED. THERE IS A LIMITED EXTREME HEAT RISK FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES...MAINLY OVER FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI, ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 90S TO THE LOWER 100S ARE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON FROM THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT...AND AGAIN FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...
