...00Z Aviation Update...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 206 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016

The cold front that was expected to stall across southern Missouri
or northern Arkansas last night actually pushed all the way to
southern Arkansas before stalling. This has left the Ozarks
without a well defined boundary or lifting mechanism for storms
other than diurnal heating and an upper level short wave that was
making its way across the region this afternoon.

There may be some isolated to scattered showers or storms across
the area into this evening and overnight however there will be
little chance for any severe weather. The primary risk for any
storms would then be lightning.

Models slowly bring the upper level ridge to the east Sunday with
most of the rain chances remaining to the south. There will be a
chance for a summer time afternoon showers or storms underneath
the ridge as southerly winds continue to bring moisture into the
area.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 206 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016

The ridge will remain over the area Sunday night into early
Tuesday morning before a storm system moving along the Canadian
border suppresses the ridge back to the southwest and flattens the
upper level flow over the plains. This system will also push a
front into northern Missouri and eastern Kansas before stalling.
Showers and storms may develop along this boundary through the
middle of the week as shortwaves move through the flattened upper
level flow.

The front will then be forced south through the Ozarks towards
the end of next week with the potential for storms Friday and
Saturday.
