Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Springfield MO 
657 PM CDT Friday Aug 29 2008 


Update... 


Will handle weak isolated late afternoon convection with 
nowcasts as they are fairly weak...short lived and likely to 
dissipate after sunset. Otherwise we went ahead and added fog to 
the grids after midnight into middle morning for reasons sited below 
in the aviation section.

Aviation... 


Do believe we may see some patchy dense fog towards sunrise Saturday 
as morning low temperatures drop significantly below crossover 
temperatures. Dewpoints across southern Missouri remain high this 
afternoon...so drier air from northern Missouri probably will not 
make it in to the sgf and jln terminals until after sunrise. With 
clear skies...calm winds and recent rain this morning...does look to 
be a good set up for dense fog. For a few hours Saturday 
morning.

Previous discussion... 
/issued 245 PM CDT Friday Aug 29 2008/ 


Rain is expected to come to an end just in time for the weekend 
with a second round possible toward the end of next week with the 
approach of Gustav. 


Short term (friday through sunday)... 


The frontal boundary that sparked convection earlier today will 
steadily push south as a modest 1017mb high pushes in behind it. 
Some lingering precipitation is possible along the Missouri/ 
Arkansas border this evening until the front clears the area. 
With the high expected to settle in to our east... we can expect 
dewpoints in the middle 60s for the period as winds turn east to 
southeasterly over the weekend. The cooler high pressure air mass 
will balance with heating under clearing skies to give US a 
pleasant weekend with temperatures in the upper 80s. 


Long term (monday trough friday)... 


Fair weather is expected to continue through Wednesday with 
ridging in control. Both of the long range models are in 
agreement here. After Wednesday...the forecast becomes more 
uncertain with the European model (ecmwf) bringing Gustav well onshore and the GFS 
weakening the system. Both the long range models are inconsistent 
with the NHC model forecasts which slow the system at the coast. 
This would bring the remnant moisture into our County Warning Area for the 
weekend as opposed to the ecmwfs Thursday timing. Decided to go 
with 30 probability of precipitation for Thursday and Friday with significant uncertainty 
in the forecast models.
