HAVE LARGE RAMIFICATIONS ON THE THUNDERSTORM AND SEVERE THREAT
TUESDAY. ANY ONGOING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMNANT FROM OVERNIGHT
ARE LIKELY TO BE LOCATED ACROSS SE MO INTO SW IL DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE MORNING AND THEN WEAKEN. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT
WILL THEN REMAIN RELATIVELY VOID OF PRECIPITATION WELL INTO MID
AFTERNOON AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME AIR MASS RECOVERY AS
CLOUDS THIN. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT AS STEEP SO OVERALL
INSTABILITY SHOULD BE LESS THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS...HOWEVER IT SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT WITH AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR SCATTERED ORGANIZED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE LATER PART OF THE AFTERNOON...RAMPING
UP IN COVERAGE DURING THE EARLY EVENING AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES
IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SHORT WAVE ROTATING NEWD FROM EASTERN OK
REGION. ANY RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES WILL PROVIDE FURTHER FOCUS AND
ENHANCE THE SEVERE THREAT. THE LARGE SCALE TROF AND ATTENDANT COLD
FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...PASSING
EAST OF THE CWA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. DRIER AIR AND COOLER
AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT
AND A SECONDARY COLD FRONT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL USHER EVEN
COOLER AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE AREA.

THE PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY WEAK NW FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE UPPER TROF AND LOOKS DRY THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...THEREAFTER
RETURN FLOW AND WEAK DISTURBANCES PASSING THRU THE PLAINS UPPER
RIDGE AND INTO THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY WILL BRING A RE-NEWED
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS....ESPECIALLY THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA.
WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE RETURN FLOW.
