NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 26, 5:24 AM CST, 5 hours 36 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 524 AM CST Sun Jan 26 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Temperatures through the period will continue to be from near normal to slightly above normal for this time of year. - Dry conditions are expected to continue through Wednesday night. - Rain chances begin to ramp up Thursday(30-60%) and Friday(50-60%) as the next system begins to move into the region. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 153 AM CST Sun Jan 26 2025 Synoptic overview and current conditions: Water vapor imagery and upper level analysis show a split flow developing over the CONUS as a low was now closed off over central California. The polar flow was mainly over the northern plains into the Great Lakes and northeast U.S. This pattern was cutting off the California low and should keep it in place through the weekend and into the first part of the upcoming work week. At the surface, the cold front has pushed through the area earlier in the evening and cooler high pressure was pushing into the area. Some mid and upper level cloud cover from the west, and some lower ceilings around 5000 feet from the southern surge of moisture have made it into the Ozarks region. Beneath this layer of better moisture however is some pretty dry air as evidenced by the 00z soundings and surface observations. With the better moisture to the south of us, there are some echoes on regional radar ahead of the front in central and southern latitudes of Arkansas. Temperatures across the area were in the upper 20s in the north to the mid and upper 30s in the south. The cold air advection will bring slightly cooler temperatures to the area during the remainder of the overnight hours, but we are not expecting the bottom to drop out due to the extensive cloud cover. For today, the cold air advection and mostly cloudy conditions will continue through the day with the high pressure system pushing into the area during the day. Temperatures will be cooler today because of this, only reaching the upper 30s in the north ot the low to mid 40s in the south. We should start to clear out tonight which will help temperatures dip back down into the upper teens to low 20s across the area. That should be the end of the cooler air for a bit as the cold air mass shifts off to the east and we see a return to a southwest to west low level flow on Monday. Plenty of sunshine is expected and we should see temperatures rise back into the mid to upper 40s for highs. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 153 AM CST Sun Jan 26 2025 Near normal to slightly above normal temperatures continue through the period: The split flow pattern will continue with the polar jet remaining from the northern plains into the Ohio valley and northeast U.S. Deterministic and ensembles have come into better agreement on when the upper low will begin to eject from it's current position in California...very slowly shifting into Arizona on Tuesday night and into New Mexico on Wednesday. Dry air is expected to continue over the forecast area up until that point and we should see temperatures rise back into the upper 40s to mid 50s Monday through Wednesday. Rain chances start to ramp up on Thursday and Friday: As the upper low slowly shifts east over the southern Rockies, it will begin to strengthen a surface low over the southern plains. In advance of the low on Wednesday night, a low level jet from the western Gulf into eastern Oklahoma of 40-50kts will begin to increase moisture over our southwest CWA and this increases over our area on Thursday. The amount of moisture surge is still in question with ensemble PW's still showing some decent differences. That being said, there should be enough moisture when combined with the upper level jet dynamics with the approaching low for rain to begin over the area on Thursday(30-60%), where our pops have increased quite a bit from previous forecasts. The low is then expected to push through the area on Friday into Friday night. Heaviest rainfall looks to be over our southern CWA at this time where the best mositure content will reside. We will get a better handle on QPF as this system begins to move by early next week. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/... Issued at 523 AM CST Sun Jan 26 2025 For the 12z TAFS, VFR ceilings will persist through much of the day with clearing taking place this evening as light northerly winds become light and variable. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
