National Weather Service Springfield MO
649 PM CDT WED JUL 13 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 330 PM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

The line of storms that produced widespread wind damaging across
central Missouri has now pushed each of the area this afternoon.
Showers and scattered storms have developed behind the line. These
storms are elevated in nature and moving across an area where the
atmosphere has been worked over from the line of storms that
passed through these areas early. So, not anticipating any severe
weather with this activity with cloud to ground lightning strikes
the main risk.

This evening there are then questions are how things will unfold.
The outflow boundary from the line of storms has stalled across
southern Missouri. There is also a surface boundary located
across southeastern Kansas into northwestern Missouri this
afternoon. Southern Missouri did not get affected by the storms
today as they remained north across central MO. Eastern Kansas
was affected earlier in the day but occurred earlier enough that
temperatures have been able recovered there. Additional storm
develop is possible along these features early this evening then
will sag south through the area into the overnight hours. There
will be a severe wind risk with this activity along with hail to
the size of quarters with the stormer storms, especially  across
areas that were not affected by the line early today across
extreme southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri.

The active pattern will continue into Thursday as yet another
complex of storms is expected to develop across Kansas and
track east across the area Thursday afternoon and evening. Given
the time of day of the convection and with a moist and unstable
air mass in place, a severe risk will occur. Damaging straight
line winds and hail to the size of quarters will be the risk,
along with frequent lightning and brief heavy rainfall. The track
of this complex may be a little farther south than where today's
storms tracked. The exact location will be dependent on where the
storms develop across Kansas.

Highs on Tuesday will again warm into the 90s, though where the
storms track will impact temperatures when they move though.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 330 PM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

A cold front will push south through the area Thursday night into
Friday. Storms will be possible along the front on Friday, but
with drier air working in the severe risk should be lower. May
still have just enough instability across far southern Missouri
for a few strong storms on Friday.

The region remains in northwest flow through Saturday night. Will
not be a washout by any means but there will be chances for
showers and storms at times during this period. The severe risk
will be low. Cooler conditions will occur both Friday and
Saturday as highs warm into the 80s behind the frontal passage.

The front will lift back to the north as a warm front Sunday as an
upper level ridge of high pressure spreads over the region by
early next week. This will bring hot conditions to the area next
week as highs warm well into the 90s, as heat index values of 100
to 108 will be possible. The upper level ridge will end the
active weather pattern that the area has been in of late. However,
it will not completely end storm chances all together as pulse
time storms will be possible. These will be the typical hit and
miss summer time storms and will not be widespread in nature.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 644 PM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across the
region this evening and impact area terminals during the
overnight hours. Timing and coverage remains a question and have
opted for Tempo or vicinity wording in the forecast. Where storms
occur, celings and visibilities will be impacted and fall to MVFR
or IFR.

Additional storms are anticipated for early Thursday morning as
well.
