NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 25, 5:32 PM CST, 16 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 532 PM CST Thu Jan 25 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Areas of dense fog will likely redevelop (60-80%) tonight. - Friday night to Saturday system taking a more southern track but we still have pops ranging from 30 to 80%. Have lowered precipitation amounts. - After the Saturday system exits...we should have a dry and warming trend for much of next week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 150 PM CST Thu Jan 25 2024 Current conditions and synoptic overview: Regional radar shows the back edge of precipitation has shifted through about the southwest half of the CWA. We expired the dense fog advisory at noon as visibility had come up just about everywhere to at least a mile and a half. Temperatures across the area were ranging from the low 40s to upper 40s. Water vapor imagery was showing the upper circulation bringing the current round of rain pushing into the southwest corner of Missouri with the next wave over the Rockies. Tonight - Friday: HREF/NBM probabilistic data suggest dense fog will redevelop tonight, early on from around the southwest corner of the state to Springfield to the Lake of the Ozarks and Rolla areas. The potential for dense fog then expands later in the overnight to include much of the CWA towards sunrise. For now, we are going to hold off on any additional dense fog advisory and see how things go initially behind the area of rain. The back edge of precipitation will continue to shift northeast and should clear the northeastern CWA during the early evening. Lows tonight are expected in the mid to upper 30s. On Friday, the fog should diminish by mid to late morning. The upper level low is expected to track east out of the Rockies and into the southern plains with rain likely holding off to our south and west until Friday night. Highs Friday are expected in the mid 40s north to low 50s south. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... Issued at 150 PM CST Thu Jan 25 2024 Friday night and Saturday: Latest data is showing the upper low track further to the south than yesterday and our QPF amounts have been lowered. In fact, our far northern section of the CWA may not see much with this system. Highest pops in the south will be in the 70-80% range with QPF totals in the 0.40-0.60" range along the MO/AR border. Most of the precipitation should end by Saturday evening as the low pushes off to the east of the area. Remainder of the weekend into Monday: We should see upper height rises behind the upper low on Sunday and will also see the first glimpses of sunshine in awhile. There is a bit of cooler air behind the low, so temperatures will probably remain in the low to upper 40s for highs. Some warmer air will advect into the area ahead of another shortwave on Monday and we should see temperatures warm into the mid 50s for most locations. Monday night - Tuesday: A northern stream shortwave will drop southeast into the upper Mississippi valley and then the Ohio valley region. Models are generally keeping the best lifting and precipitation with this system to our north and east. High temperatures on Tuesday should reach the mid to upper 50s once again. Wednesday into the 8 to 14 day outlook: An upper level ridge axis will shift into the area on Wednesday and we should maintain our above normal temperatures through the remainder of the forecast period and into the 8 to 14 day outlook. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 432 PM CST Thu Jan 25 2024 A low level stratus cloud deck remains over the area this evening and will persist through the day on Friday, but ceilings may increase to MVFR Friday afternoon. Fog has also occurred across portions of the area and will likely become dense again this evening into Friday morning. Visibilities should then improve by mid day Friday. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. MO...None. && SHORT TERM...Lindenberg LONG TERM...Lindenberg AVIATION...Wise
