Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:43 PM CDT, 2 hours 9 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
243 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018

...Storms Possible this Evening then Nice Weather Sunday...

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Sunday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018

A cold front will push south across southern Missouri through this
evening as an upper level trough moves across the region.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop across south central and
portions of far southern Missouri through early this evening as
the front drops southeastward. With mean layer CAPE around 3000
J/KG, moderate deep layer shear and steep mid level lapse rates
some storms could strong to severe storms. An inhibiting factor to
storm development and coverage will be relatively warm mid level
temperatures and capping inversion. In general the greatest risk
for severe storms will be southeast of a Rolla to Houston line.
Continue to closely monitor weather conditions and the latest
information.

A much more pleasant airmass will follow the frontal passage for
Sunday. Cooler temperatures and less humid conditions can be
expected along with a northerly breeze. Highs Sunday will
generally be in the lower 80s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018

The mean upper level ridge position will remain to our west into
at least the middle of next week leaving our region under a
northwesterly flow aloft. Dry weather is expected through at least
Tuesday but will have to monitor the development of convective
complexes over the Plains. It appears there is some potential for
convective complexes to impact area at times during the last half
of next week. Otherwise seasonably warm and humid weather
conditions can be expected next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1224 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018

Pilots can expect prevailing VFR conditions at area terminals
through Sunday. A cold front will push across the area this
afternoon resulting in variable cloud cover. Ceilings may lower to
near MVFR at times. Scattered showers and storms will develop
primarily east of the terminals but could impact the Branson
vicinity. Surface winds will shift to the northwest later this
afternoon with the frontal passage.
