AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
230 AM CST FRI MAR 24 2000

MAIN FOCUS THIS PERIOD WILL BE WITH TEMPERATURES AFTER SHOWERS
CURRENTLY OVER E CWA EXIT THE REGION.

LOW WHICH WAS CUT OFF OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS FINALLY LIFTED OUT AND WAS PUSHING INTO SOUTHERN IOWA EARLY
THIS MORNING.  A BAND OF SHOWERS CONTINUES TO AFFECT EASTERN
SECTIONS OF CWA THIS MORNING...AND WILL WAIT UNTIL NEAR ZONE
ISSUANCE TO DECIDE IF POPS WILL BE NEEDED THERE THIS MORNING.
DRIER AIR IS PUSHING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND SHOULD PREVENT
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT TODAY.

MODELS WERE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MAIN FEATURES.  USED THE
ETA/AVN FOR GUIDANCE.  PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SHRTWV CONTINUES TO
LIFT AND MERGES INTO NORTHERN STREAM DURING THE PERIOD.  FLOW ACROSS
THE CWA BECOMES ZONAL THROUGH 48 HOURS WITH NEXT TROF ENTERING THE
WEST COAST BY THIS TIME.  AVN SHOWS ANOTHER CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING
OVER S CALIFORNIA AT 72 HOURS.  DRY PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE FOR
THE SHORT TERM AND INTO THE EXTENDED.  MRF HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH
NEXT STORM SYSTEM MONDAY/TUESDAY...HOWEVER PAST COUPLE OF CUT OFF
SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN ABOUT A DAY LATER THAN EXPECTED.  WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR...NO CHANGES TO THIS IN EXTENDED AT THIS TIME.

DRY AIR SHOULD WORK THROUGH THE CWA TODAY WITH A MOSTLY SUNNY/PARTLY
CLOUDY WORDING.  MAY NEED TO CARRY SOME SMALL POPS OUT EAST
DEPENDING ON RADAR SCENE AT 3 AM...BUT SHOULD BE A MORNING EVENT.
WITH FULL SUN TODAY...SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.  FAN
NUMBERS LOOK A BIT COOL AND HAVE BEEN SO PREVIOUS SEVERAL RUNS.
COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE CWA OVERNIGHT...BUT WITH LITTLE
MOISTURE AVAILABLE WILL GO MOSTLY CLEAR.  SLIGHT COOL DOWN ON
SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT BUT SHOULD STILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL.

PRELIMINARY CCF NUMBERS...
