.DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)

ITS ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S.
A DECENT CAP AROUND 800 MB IS KEEPING THE WEATHER QUIET FOR NOW. PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON WILL GIVE WAY TO AN INCREASING CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS
CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO AND SEVERAL WAVES ARE ROTATING
UP ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON SPARKING
OFF CLUSTERS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS JUST OUT TO OUR WEST. ONE
DISTURBANCE IS OVER NORTH TEXAS RIGHT NOW AND MOVING IN THIS
DIRECTION. WILL EXPECT THIS FEATURE TO DEVELOP SHOWERS AND STORMS
OVER THE WESTERN AREAS AFTER 00Z THIS EVENING. SOME STORMS COULD
BE STRONG TO SEVERE BUT WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING...ANTICIPATING AN OVER WEAKENING TREND IN INTENSITY AFTER
DARK TONIGHT AS THIS TRANSLATES ACROSS THE WESTERN OZARKS TONIGHT.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO KANSAS BY MIDDAY
THURSDAY. ANOTHER WAVE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE OZARKS BY LATE
AFTERNOON THURSDAY AND THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH SOME COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE.
GIVEN THE STEEP LAPSE RATES...MODERATE INSTABILITY...AND
INCREASING MID AND UPPER LEVEL VERTICAL SHEAR...LARGE HAIL WILL BE
THE PRIMARY THREAT FOLLOWED BY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. CAN'T RULE OUT
AN ISOLATED TORNADO BUT THIS WILL BE A LIMITED THREAT. STORMS WILL
LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH A GRADUAL EAST TO WEST PROGRESSION.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE RIGHT OVER THE OZARKS BY FRIDAY
MORNING AS IT VERY SLOWLY MOVES EAST. FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE
COOL AND CLOUDY DAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDER
POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. RAIN CHANCES WILL LINGER
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY THANKS TO THE SLOW NATURE OF THIS UPPER
LEVEL LOW. BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

GRIFFIN

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...

ONE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THIS
WEEKEND WHILE ANOTHER UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH UNDERNEATH A BLOCKING
RIDGE PATTERN. THE RESULT WILL MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES...
CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.  SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED
EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.
ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP MID TO LATE WEEK AS
DISTURBANCES SLIDE INTO THE REGION WITHIN A NORTHWEST FLOW.

WITH THE STORMS ALONG WITH BRIEF MVFR TO LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS.
THE STORMS AND RESIDUAL SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN
DEVELOP THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
AREA.
