.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 623 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013

MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT HAD
PUSHED EAST OF THE REGION THIS EVENING. SOME LINGERING LIGHT RAIN
AND SHOWERS WERE CONTINUING TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI GENERALLY ACROSS
HOWELL...SHANNON AND OREGON COUNTIES. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE EASE AND SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA BY 8 PM. A COLD
AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO THE AREA TONIGHT WITH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE LOWER 30S NEAR THE FREEZING

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013

SHOULD SEE RAIN CHANCES COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE EASTERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY INTO THE
EARLY EVENING...BUT THE CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS HAS EXITED TO THE
EAST. RESIDUAL FLOODING WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT (SEE HYDRO
SECTION).

COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH STEADY
NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND LIKELY TO KEEP THE LOW
CLOUDS IN FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. THIS WILL PREVENT ANY FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS FOR FROST FORMATION...HOWEVER TEMPERATURES MAY DROP
DOWN TO AROUND FREEZING FOR AN HOUR SO A LIGHT FREEZE WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AREAS. MORE FAVORABLE FROST

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013

CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ON FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS
THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD AND WE LOSE THE CLOUD COVER.
WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION PATCHY FROST IN THE GRIDS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT.

SOME WEAK ENERGY WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE. MOISTURE DOES NOT LOOK
OVERLY IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS SYSTEM AND NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING MORE
THAN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION OVER NORTHWEST PART OF CWA FOR SUNDAY.

A DEEPER TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES/NORTHERN PLAINS WHICH WILL HELP TO DEVELOP A
SURFACE FRONT IN THE PLAINS THAT WILL BRING BETTER CONVECTIVE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING TIME FRAME.

PIVOT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND CLOUDS OVER THE AREA. CEILINGS WILL
BE MVFR FOR THE ALL TERMINALS THIS EVENING. BRANSON WOULD BE THE
FIRST TO BREAK OUT...AROUND 08Z...AS THE UPPER LOW AND CLOUD
COVER LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST. JOPLIN AND SPRINGFIELD SHOULD
