961 FXUS63 KSGF 060459 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1159 PM CDT Fri Jul 5 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Cooler and drier conditions through Saturday. - Shower and thunderstorm chances return Sunday and Monday. - Temperatures look to remain near average through next week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 135 PM CDT Fri Jul 5 2024 Surface high pressure will filter into the region under northwesterly upper level flow through tonight and Saturday. With the exception of mild wind gusts this afternoon (gusts to 15-20mph) in advance of the high pressure and a few clouds moving over the region, the weather across the ozarks will be rather pleasant compared to the past week. With high pressure over the region tonight and Saturday, winds will become rather light. An upper level trough will move into the plains Saturday with dry and sunny conditions. This will allow temperatures to warm to near average for this time of year in the middle 80s to around 90 degrees. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 135 PM CDT Fri Jul 5 2024 The upper trough will slowly shift east, placing the Ozarks under more southwesterly flow aloft. This will ultimately bring a return of showers and storms for Sunday spreading from west to east throughout the day into Monday. The potential for any severe storms remains limited but will be monitored. There remains good agreement in developing a ridge over the western CONUS next week. Beyond Tuesday there is no really good signal for rain, and rain chances remain 25% or less Tuesday through Friday. The remnants of Hurricane Beryl may track into or near the region towards the middle to latter part of next week, but may have limited impacts on the Ozark. This will be a wait and see as we head into next week however. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1155 PM CDT Fri Jul 5 2024 VFR conditions are likely through the TAF period. There is a low chance (<20%) of some patchy light fog between 10Z-12Z, though confidence was too low to include any mention in the TAFs. Skies will be mostly clear, and winds will be light (<10 kt) through the forecast period. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. MO...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Hatch LONG TERM...Hatch AVIATION...Didio
