.DISCUSSION...
Storms are scattering across the region this afternoon. High
cape/low shear environment with many of the storms pulsing. The
limping along complex over MO/KY is slowly entering our area. There
is concern that as this complex churns south into a favorable
environment that more widespread damaging winds could occur through
this evening.
Models are consistent with a change in the pattern beginning Sunday
night as a cold front approaches the area in association with a
fairly vigorous, for late June, shortwave moving through the Central
US. Thunderstorms are expected regionwide as this front moves
through the area beginning Sunday night through Monday. The best
forcing with this system is farther north, however with the
airmass in place there is plenty of instability, so expect strong
to severe thunderstorms with damaging wind as the main threat.
Thereafter, precipitation will be hit and miss and generally
diurnally driven as temperatures cool to a bit below average.
Although a surface ridge is evident through much of next week the
upper flow has relatively low heights which contribute to favorable
lapse rates rates for late day convection as the core of the upper
ridge remains over the intermountain west.

.AVIATION...
/18z TAFs/
Scattered convection is developing along/south of I-40 this
afternoon and additional develop is expected farther north along a
remnant outflow boundary. Thus, VCTS was included at all terminals
this afternoon and may need to be extended a bit into the evening
as a convective complex over MO moves to the southeast. Generally
VFR conditions are anticipated outside of convection with
southwest winds at 8-14 kts, gusting near 20 kts at times.
Additional storms may be an issue Sunday afternoon, but confidence
is low pending the evolution of this afternoon's convection. Also
wouldn't be surprised to see some brief MVFR ceilings Sunday
morning as daytime heating commences.
