Severe weather along with possible flash flooding will be the main
concerns heading into this evening and overnight...

Severe thunderstorm watch 426 now in effect for the western half
of our fcst area as dewpoints in the low- to mid 70s combined
with temperatures in the middle to upper 80s, have led to rapid
destabilizion across our area. Latest SPC Mesoanalysis shows an
MLCAPE axis of 5000+ J/kg extending north across our region this
afternoon, with some residual capping still noted across far
northwest Missouri and east-central Missouri behind an outflow
boundary from earlier MCS activity. Main limiting factor so far
today has been a lack of synoptic-scale forcing, however regional
GOES-16 water vapor imagery continues to show a compact shortwave
trough lifting north through the southern Plains this afternoon.
In addition, surface analysis shows main cold front slowly
approaching our area from the northwest this afternoon, with
visible satellite clearly showing the aforementioned outflow
boundary extending from near Liberty south through the Missouri
Ozarks. These surface features, combined with the approaching
upper shortwave, will be the focus for developing convection
across western Missouri and eastern Kansas in the next hour or
two. Fcst soundings show fat CAPE profiles through the vertical
with high amounts of instability noted in the hail growth region
which is most likely in response to nearly dry adiabatic lapse
rates in the mid-levels resulting from a migrating EML plume
which is now in-place over the central Plains and adjoining lower
Missouri Vly. This dry mid-level air will also support strong
damaging wind gusts with storms that develop across the area later
this afternoon, which can be seen on latest SPC Mesoanalysis
DCAPE fcsts which highlight 1000+ J/kg across portions of the
area. While the tornado threat appears lower than the hail and
strong wind threat, regions near residual boundaries will need to
be watched closely as these areas often times support higher
amounts of low-level vorticity generation.

After convection develops, its expected to slowly move from west
to east across the fcst area. Another concern heading into the
overnight period will be the possibility of heavy rain and flash
flooding as PWAT values increase to 2" across a large portion of
the area. In fact, latest CIRA Advected Layered Precipitable
Water satellite imagery shows a corridor of higher mid- and
upper-level moisture heading north from the southern Plains this
afternoon, which further supports the idea that rainfall overnight
can be very efficient with such a warm and moist airmass in-place
over the area. Combine this with wet soil conditions from heavy
rainfall in previous days, we could be looking at an increased
flash flood threat later tonight and early Sunday. As a result of
these concerns, have elected to hoist another flash flood watch
which will remain in effect through Sunday evening for the entire
forecast area.

Unfortunately, shower and storm activity will likely continue for
a large part of the day on Sunday as the main cold front finally
starts to move through the region. Severe wx will remain a concern
through the day thanks to abundance of instability thanks to such
a moist pre-frontal airmass. Fortunately, rain chances should
start coming to an end through the overnight hours into Monday
morning as the front starts clearing the area.

Cooler and less humid air looks to finally move back into the
area on Monday as region will reside in a post frontal airmass.
Some lingering shwrs and storms will be possible through the day
as instability type shwrs/storms may develop across northern
Missouri as main upper low passes to our north. Drier and less
humid air looks to then remain in-place through at least mid-week
as high pressure settles south over the area.

.Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday Evening)
Issued at 624 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2019

Main concerns heading forward this evening will be ongoing
storms chances through the overnight hours. Expect storms to
impact all terminals this evening with widespread MVFR/IFR
restrictions possible as activity moves through the area. Variable
wind speeds up to 50 kts (possibly higher) will be possible with
the strongest storms. With time, storm activity should begin to
move east of the region after the 06z time frame, with widespread
MVFR cigs likely in the storm's wake. There is a possibility that
cigs fall below IFR thresholds during the early morning hours,
but will address those concerns with the 06z issuance if
confidence increases.

This hazardous weather outlook is for northwest...north central and
west central Missouri...as well as extreme eastern Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

 Severe storms are possible later this afternoon into tonight across
 the entire area. All modes of severe are possible including
 damaging winds, large hail, and a tornado or two. In addition,
 heavy rain is expected with these storms which could lead to flash
 flooding as well as additional river flooding.

 More detailed information can be
 accessed at... https://www.weather.gov/eax/hwo

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

 Multiple rounds of storms are possible Sunday with some lingering
 storms in the morning and then redevelopment in the afternoon. The
 storms in the afternoon could become severe with large hail,
 damaging winds, and a few tornadoes possible. By Monday there could
 be 2 to 3 inches of rainfall over the region with some areas seeing
 localized amounts higher than that, mainly north of the Missouri
 River. This will likely aggravate river flooding and may cause some
 flash flooding issues.
