Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
1240 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 249 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017

It was a warm and humid early morning across the Missouri Ozarks
and extreme southeast Kansas, with temperatures from the mid 60s
to low 70s and dewpoints in the low to mid 60s.

A surface boundary was stretched out from northeast Arkansas into
southern Illinois with convection having developed along this
boundary. A few of the storms may affect portions of our
southeastern most county...Oregon county, however more stable and
drier air exists behind this boundary and not expecting any
further westward development through the overnight hours.

A challenging convective forecast is upcoming with this next
system and will be the main focus of this forecast package.
Additional storms are expected with a secondary system early next
week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 249 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017

For today, an east west surface boundary is expected to set up
near the I-70 corridor in central MO with our CWA expected to be
in the warm sector all day. An unstable air mass will develop in
the warm sector over the area today with CAPES of 2000-3000 j/kg
possible. Much of the area will remain dry during the day today
but can't rule out some widely scattered afternoon convection,
especially closer to the boundary in central MO. The main
convection today will be from central KS into western OK where a
high risk of severe storms is expected. This activity will
eventually spread northeast into the area by mid to late this
evening and overnight. There may be a remnant wind risk in the
western CWA as it pushes in, likely within a linear or line
segment fashion, but it should be in a decaying severity form as
it moves in. There will be enough instability, low level jet
energy and high PW values for convection to persist across the
area overnight however and with the high moisture content, heavy
rain will be a good bet.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 249 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017

There may be a lull in the activity on Friday after tonight's
system dissipates or moves east of the area, but again can't rule
out some scattered activity during the afternoon along any remnant
boundaries. Things should get going again to our west along a cold
front during the afternoon Friday with eventually a squall line
pushing into the area towards sunset and then through the night
into Saturday morning. There will again mainly be a wind risk with
the convection as it moves in and a lower end QLCS tornado risk
with northeastward moving segments.

The front will move through the area on Saturday/Saturday night
with convection eventually ending from west to east by Sunday
morning.

Roughly, we are going with around 1-3 inches of rainfall with this
system, although some areas may see less, and if training of
storms can occur, some locations more. The heavy rain potential on
top of high water tables from the recent flooding rains earlier in
the month will likely lead to some additional flooding along area
streams, rivers, creeks and low lying flood prone areas. However,
the flooding is not expected to be anywhere near what we had a
couple of weeks ago.

After a bit of a break from later in the day Sunday through
Monday, a northwest to southeast moving shortwave will track
through the area Monday night through Tuesday, bringing another
round of showers and thunderstorms to the region.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017

For the KSGF, KJLN, and KBBG TAFS: A storm system is pushing
towards the Plains this afternoon. Later this afternoon into this
evening storms will develop across the Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
ahead of the storm system. This convection will then spread
northeast and into the area tonight as line segments or a cluster
of storms. MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible with any
storms tonight. The storms should push through the area pretty
quickly overall. Gusty southerly winds will likely develop Friday
morning.

Taney-Ozark-Oregon-
135 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited Tornado risk.
  Elevated Hail risk.
  Elevated Thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Elevated Flooding risk.
  Significant Lightning risk.

DISCUSSION...

  An isolated storm or two will be possible across south central
  Missouri this afternoon. No severe weather is expected with
  this activity and most of the area should remain dry during the
  day.

  Severe thunderstorms will develop across the southern and
  central Plains this afternoon and evening. These storms will
  likely develop into line segments as they push northeast into
  the area by mid to late evening continuing into the overnight
  hours. Winds in excess of 60 mph and hail up to the size of
  quarters will be possible with this activity. There will also
  be an isolated tornado risk with any line segments that can
  surge to the northeast generally along and west of Highway 65.

  Heavy rain will be likely with the storms as they push across
  the area overnight. Any training of storms may lead to some
  localized flooding due to the already high water tables from
  extreme flooding earlier in the month.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

  Thunderstorms are expected to linger into Friday, but in a
  diminishing fashion.

  Additional strong to severe thunderstorms will again develop to
  our west and move into the area late Friday evening into the
  overnight hours. The storms are once again expected to develop
  into a line of thunderstorms as they push into the area.
  Damaging winds will be the main severe weather risk Friday
  night.

  The storms should come to an end from Saturday night into
  Sunday morning with storm total rainfall area wide of 1 to 3
  inches. The heaviest rainfall amounts and better flooding
  potential will occur across southeastern Kansas and western
  Missouri as multiple rounds of rain are expected from tonight
  into Sunday morning.

  Additional thunderstorms will return Monday night into Tuesday
  as another quick moving upper level system moves in from the
  northwest.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation may be needed later this evening into the
  overnight hours generally west of Highway 65.
