Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 2:00 PM CST, 2 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 300 PM CDT MON JUL 2 2012 .DISCUSSION... A FEW PULSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING UP ON RADAR OVER THE FAR EASTERN OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAKNESS IN THE SUMMER TIME RIDGE HAS ALLOWED A LITTLE BETTER GROWTH IN THE CU FIELD ESPECIALLY OUT EAST. THE EASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN AREAS OF THE OZARKS WILL HAVE AT LEAST A SMALL CHANCE FOR SEEING SOME RAINFALL FROM NOW THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THE WEAKNESS WILL STILL BE AROUND FOR TOMORROW WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHANCE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE OZARKS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER AND GRADUALLY WARMING THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. BY THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK...THE SUMMERTIME RIDGE WILL REESTABLISH ITS SELF OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND THIS WILL BRING HOTTER AND DRIER WEATHER FOR THE SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE AROUND THE CENTURY MARK WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING 105. HAVE HELD OFF ON ANY HEAT PRODUCTS AT THIS TIME AND WILL LET THE OVERNIGHT FORECASTER TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE. IT APPEARS WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER EPISODE OF EXTREME AND POSSIBLE RECORD HEAT BY THE END OF THE WEEK. VERY SLIM TO NONE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE DAY 7 OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. GRIFFIN && .AVIATION... THE PRIMARY WEATHER IMPACT FOR AVIATORS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. BY MID AFTERNOON...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM IN THE VICINITY OF THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS BORDER. THESE STORMS WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD INTO MISSOURI DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS...DIMINISHING IN THE EVENING AFTER SUNSET. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD...FOR THE MOST PART...STAY SOUTH OF THE SPRINGFIELD AND JOPLIN AERODROMES...WITH THE MAIN IMPACT BEING TO THE BRANSON AERODROME. KARDELL && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
