NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 1, 5:24 PM CST, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 624 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 Key Messages: 1. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms expected this evening over far SW MO and far SE KS. Brief potential for strong to severe thunderstorms into this evening with strong winds and locally heavy rainfall this evening. 2. Widespread showers and storms Friday may result in a localized flooding risk over far southern MO, generally south of Hwy 60 and near the Hwy 65 corridor. 3. Low rain chances this weekend into next week, but nothing prolonged or highly impactful, are expected for the next seven days. .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... Issued at 305 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 Concerning strong to severe potential through mid-evening: A shortwave pushing in from central Oklahoma is forcing convection over NE OK and the far SW CWA. This area has higher moisture at the surface and aloft, with low 70s surface dew points and PWATs of 1.5-2" (as opposed to values closer to 1.0 elsewhere in the CWA). MLCAPE values are 2,000-3,000 J/kg over this area at this time with layer maximum Theta-e differences around 30K. Shear is minimal. This will support pulse thunderstorms capable of localized downburst winds of 50-60mph through around 7-8pm. Parameters favorable to strong to severe storms will diminish rapidly around sunset. .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 See mesoscale discussion for threats through 7-8pm. After 7-8pm: Upper shortwave energy over central OK will gradually shift through the area tonight through Friday. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected late this evening into Friday. High-res guidance shows potential for 2-3 inches of rain over the south- central CWA, roughly south of Hwy 60 and along the Hwy 65 corridor, as seen in HREF PMM guidance. This may result in some localized flooding depending on exact locations and rates of heavier amounts. This is shown in the WPC ERO as well. Because of increased precipitation and cloud coverage from previous forecasts, high temperatures have been lowered for Friday as well. Look for highs in the upper 70s (south central CWA) to around 90 (NW CWA). 80s elsewhere. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 Unsettled weather will continue through the long term, but not seeing at any significantly impactful events at this time. Looking at isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis with highs in the 80s to around 90 and lows in the 60s, which is fairly typical late summer weather. Confidence in the pattern decreases toward the middle of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 621 PM CDT Thu Sep 1 2022 For the 00z TAFS, scattered convection this evening around the TAF sites. Not enough coverage to go with a tempo for the onset. Will go with VCSH to start out with chances increasing later tonight over the area as upper level wave moves into the area. Rain chances will continue into Friday. Will probably go into MVFR with the rainfall and possibly some brief IFR. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
