.Discussion...
Issued at 245 PM CDT WED JUN 5 2019

A weak boundary has moved into northern Missouri this afternoon.
Satellite imagery shows cumulus converging in our northern couple of
tiers of counties. As of 19Z, cumulus is becoming congested and
taller. Thunderstorms are expected develop in northern Missouri in
this convergence zone. There is a strip of marginally supportive
shear in this area so there may be some severe storms as well.
Regardless, very high CAPE will be supportive of large hail and
damaging winds. The hail threat should be mainly with the initial
strong updrafts. Damaging winds will become the main threat, either
from microbursts, or as storms congeal into a line or two and
produce straight-line winds. Storms should generally drift south-
southeastward with time as 1) the front moves southward, and 2) any
cold pool forces new development south-southeastward. Storms may
persist into the evening hours, especially if any cold pool
organization can occur and build southward with time.

More isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected tomorrow,
mainly across the southern half of the forecast area. Forecast
soundings show a very unstable airmass over the region. Again, shear
will be weak so we'll be looking at mesoscale driven features to key
in on. Storms may linger well into the evening hours, like today,
especially if any strong cold pool is established and storms develop
on the leading edge of the colder air.

For Friday and through the weekend, the upper low that has been
sitting over the southwestern US will move eastward and spread
rain/storms over the southern Plains and southern Missouri. This may
spread into spread into the southern portions of the forecast area
Friday. By Saturday, that upper system will have moved far enough
way that the chances for precipitation will decrease. Sunday looks
dry for most, if not all, of the forecast area. Temperatures will be
cooler through the weekend as cooler air settles into the region on
the backside of the upper low with a ridge of high pressure nosing
into the region.

Issued at 1202 PM CDT WED JUN 5 2019

A weak boundary moving into the area may trigger isolated to
scattered thunderstorms. These may persist into the evening hours
for several hours after sunset depending on how strong/organized
any cold pool is from them. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions with
light winds through the forecast.
