MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT THAT
EXTENDED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE MOST
INTENSE STORMS THROUGH EARLY WILL OCCUR MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH

.DISCUSSION...

FOR TONIGHT...A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SHIFT INTO NORTHERN
ARKANSAS AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THERE CONTINUES TO BE DECENT SIGNAL
WITH THE WRF MODEL THAT SUGGESTS CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER NE
OKLAHOMA AND SE KANSAS...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS OCCURS IN
RESPONSE TO ENHANCED PRESSURE ADVECTION LIFT WITHIN AN AREA WHERE
THE LOW LEVEL JET INTERSECTS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM. FOR THIS REASON I
HAVE ELECTED TO LEAN OUR FORECAST TOWARD THE WRF SOLUTION WITH
POPS THE HIGHEST OVER SW MO / SE KS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

OVERNIGHT CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS IN OKLAHOMA WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY.  ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT IN RESPONSE
TO A STRONGER COLD FRONT THAT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST.  A FEW OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE...PRIOR
TO EXITING THE REGION MID THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE NATIONS MID
SECTION...ALLOWING A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS TO SPREAD IN.   FAIR
WEATHER CONDUCIVE FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WILL RESULT BOTH FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.  LOOK FOR LOW HUMIDITY...WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WARMING INTO
THE MID 80S.  RETURN FLOW COMMENCES DURING THE DAY ON
SATURDAY...MEANWHILE A UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH BY SUNDAY.  THIS SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY CREATE ANOTHER EPISODE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND INTO NEXT MONDAY.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE A STRONG SIGNAL WITHIN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
THAT CONFINES THE SUMMERTIME HIGH OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
MEANWHILE NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTS OVER THE OZARKS...CAUSING
ADDITIONAL CANADIAN AIRMASSES TO SPREAD IN.  THIS PATTERN WOULD KEEP
THE REGION UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH MORE RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

CRAMER

&&

.AVIATION...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL VICINITIES THIS
EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH INTO THE AREA. THESE STORMS
WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF MVFR AND EVEN LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS.
MOST OF THE STORMS WILL END BY LATE EVENING. PATCHY FOG MAY
DEVELOP TOWARD MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH MOST
OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAINING TO THE SOUTH OF THE
TERMINALS.
