Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 1:41 PM CST, 1 hour 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 241 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Thursday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 Extent and intensity of thunderstorms this afternoon to be main forecast concern. Overnight induced MVC has slipped slowly eastward into the Osage Beach area with a band of thunderstorms to its south along I-44. Of concern is the MLCAPEs that these storms will encounter as the band shifts into south central Missouri later this afternoon. Weak bulk shear will preclude organized severe but isolated warnings will be a possibility. The storms will be diurnal with a quick decline by early evening. Diurnal convection may again form Thursday afternoon on the periphery of the upper ridge...with coverage isolated at best and primarily over the eastern Ozarks. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 The southwest to northeast orientated upper ridge will continue to build into the forecast area into this weekend...warming temperatures and diminishing thunderstorm coverage. The ridge will begin to flatten on Sunday as a northern stream wave ejects out of the west coast trough allowing the Gulf flow to increase on strengthening southerly flow. Thunderstorm chances as a result will increase on the over the start of the workweek toward the holiday. It will remain seasonably warm with temperature warming well into the 80s each day. Dew points will climb into the low 70s, raising heat indices up into the 90s. . && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1248 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 Area terminals will largely maintain VFR conditions through this afternoon, though, an isolated thunderstorm at the BBG or SGF terminals this afternoon may bring flight categories down to MVFR for a brief time. Surface winds have been variable through most of the morning and will continue to lack consistent direction through the afternoon-- this in large part to a low-level atmospheric eddy (MCV) currently passing through the Missouri Ozarks. Skies clear out overnight with the presence of an upper- level ridge and associated surface high pressure. With calm winds and relatively wet soils, some light patchy fog will be possible near 12z. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
