AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 315 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... ISSUED AT 3 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013 ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAD DEVELOPED MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS OF SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON...AND ESPECIALLY ALONG AND JUST EAST OF HIGHWAY 63. THIS CONVECTION HAD DEVELOPED WITHIN AN AXIS OF MODEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND RICHER PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER 1.5 INCHES. A SHEAR AXIS TRANSLATING EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE UPPER RIDGE MAY ALSO BE AIDING DEVELOPMENT. CANNOT RULE OUT A COUPLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS GIVEN THETA E DIFFERENTIAL OF ABOUT 25 DEGREES C. A LIMITED RISK FOR LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND WAS INCLUDED IN THE LATEST HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. WILL ALSO HAVE TO MONITOR FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT AND TRAINING. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013 TYPICAL SUMMER TIME PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON WILL DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. WILL LIKELY SEE A REPEAT OF ISOLATED DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS AND FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI WITHIN AXIS OF HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES. OTHERWISE ANOTHER SEASONABLY HOT AND HUMID DAY IS IN STORE WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES REACHING THE MIDDLE 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013 OUR REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE INTO EARLY AND MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. 500 MB HEIGHTS WILL BUILD AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS AMPLIFIES AND BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THIS WILL HELP NUDGE HIGH TEMPERATURES A BIT HIGHER INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 90S. AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REACH THE MIDDLE 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES THROUGH MID WEEK. AN ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT MAINLY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THROUGH MID WEEK BUT COVERAGE WILL BE VERY LOCALIZED. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A FRONT PUSHES SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH A DRIER AIR MASS POSSIBLY MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE REGION BY NEXT WEEKEND. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1210 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013 FOR THE KSGF...KJLN AND KBBG TAFS...DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET. THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE BETTER POTENTIAL SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA. THERE IS SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR ACROSS THE REGION THAN YESTERDAY SO COVERAGE WILL BE VERY SPARES WITH MOST AREAS REMAIN DRY...THEREFORE CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THIS TAF PACKAGE. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 20KT THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL THEN WEAKEN THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL THEN PICK BACK UP AND BE GUSTY AGAIN BY LATE SUNDAY MORNING. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...FOSTER LONG TERM...FOSTER AVIATION...WISE
