NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 28, 2:23 AM CST, 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 323 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011 .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 323 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011/ CURRENTLY...WEAK COLD FRONT HAS SETTLED JUST SOUTH OF THE MO/ARK STATE LINE. LOW LEVEL FRONT AT 925/850MB LAGS THE SURFACE FEATURE. CONVECTION FIRING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS TENDS TO BE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE 850MB FRONT...NESTLED IN AN AREA OF HIGH THETA-E AIR AT 850MB AND THUS FAR RIDING THE 700MB THETA-E RIDGE. LIFT HAS BEEN AIDED BY A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE SEEN NEAR THE 700MB LEVEL. THIS ACTIVITY HAS INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH AND GIVEN AT LEAST WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...THIS NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD PERSIST AND EXPAND ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI THROUGH AT LEAST SUNRISE. AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY 60 CORRIDOR WILL BE MOST PRONE TO SEEING THIS ACTIVITY. GIVEN THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING NORTH OF THE EFFECTIVE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY...AND SBCIN/MLCIN GREATER THAN 100 J/KG..WE EXPECT STORMS TO REMAIN ELEVATED. THERE IS A RISK OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WITH THE STRONGER STORMS...THOUGH WARM CLOUD DEPTHS EXCEEDING 15000 FEET WILL COMBAT HAIL CORES. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEARING TWO INCHES WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PROPAGATION VECTORS SUGGEST CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE SOUTHEAST WITH TIME AROUND SUNRISE AND BEYOND. 700MB SHORTWAVE SHOULD BE EXITING TO THE EAST BY MID MORNING AND WILL KEEP HIGHER POPS FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 60. SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY THIS AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. STALLED BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY EDGE NORTHWARD TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. MODEST LOW LEVEL JET WILL INTERACT WITH THE WARM FRONT TO SUPPORT AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND WEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...LINGERING INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. SHORT RANGE MODELS SUGGEST MLCAPE INCREASING TO NEAR 2000 J/KG AND CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW HAILERS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...WARM FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING EXPANDING ACROSS THE MIDWEST. 850MB TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE MID 20S C BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THIS CORRELATES WELL TO HIGH TEMPERATURES WARMING WELL INTO THE 90S. WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL JUMP TO AROUND 105 DEGREES FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...ONLY EXCEPTION BEING SOUTH CENTRAL MO...WHERE READINGS CLOSER TO 100 ARE EXPECTED. FRIDAY AND BEYOND...HOT. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BUILDING THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION. WAVE FIVE CHARTS SUGGEST THIS RIDGE SHOULD REMAIN LOCKED IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF THE UPPER RIDGE RETROGRESSING TO THE WEST NEXT WEEK...OPENING THE DOOR TO THE POTENTIAL FOR NORTHWEST FLOW AND A BREAK TO THE HEAT...BUT CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT IS NOT HIGH. 850MB TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW/MID 20S CORRELATE WELL TO HIGHS CONSISTENTLY IN THE MID 90S. GIVEN THE RECENT DRY SPELL ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND MUCH OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...UPPER 90S ARE PLAUSIBLE. BIGGEST CHALLENGE WILL BE FORECASTING SURFACE DEWPOINTS. THERE ARE INDICATIONS FROM THE ECMWF OF POSSIBLY MIXING DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA. FOR NOW HAVE KEPT AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S...GIVE OR TAKE A DEGREE. THIS RESULTS IN AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES CONSISTENTLY BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS AS HEAT HEADLINES ARE POSSIBLE. GAGAN && .AVIATION... /ISSUED 1205 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011/ A WEAK COLD FRONT HAD PUSHED SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL SITES LATE MONDAY NIGHT. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT BUT COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED. OTHERWISE VFR CEILINGS CAN BE EXPECTED. AREAS OF MVFR CEILINGS AND PATCHY LIGHT FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE TOWARD MORNING. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL FROM LATE MORNING TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
