National Weather Service Springfield MO
804 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 804 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
Have allowed severe thunderstorm watch 673 to expire at 8 pm.
Still a few strong to severe storms over central Missouri and
these will track to the northeast and out of the area in the next
hour or so. Otherwise, showers and storms will continue across the
area much of the night as the cold front moves through the region
and post frontal lift continues the rain chances.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 154 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
Showers and thunderstorms have been ongoing across much of the NW
half of the CWA today, which has caused some flood concerns and
also worked over the environment. Through the rest of this
evening, primary concern is with severe and flooding potential.
Uncertainty exists in how much instability can develop behind the
pre-frontal convection and the convection along the front. At this
time, there appears to be a low end chance for enough
instability recovery to allow for a severe threat. Wind profiles
are more than sufficient for severe weather and certainly have
forcing mechanisms in place, so instability really is the key
piece at this point. Damaging winds to 60mph and 1 inch hail are
the primary threats, but can't completely rule out a tornado over
the far SW. There also exists a severe threat over the south-
central CWA where no precip has been observed. Primarily a large
hail and damaging wind threat there that will have to be watched
closely.
Behind the cold front precip will linger with rapidly decreasing
thunder potential through the night. Skies quickly clear out from
the W on Friday, but the bigger story is the temperatures. 8am
Friday temperatures will range from the upper 30s over the
western CWA to the mid 50s over the SE. By mid afternoon,
temperatures will mainly be in the mid to upper 40s.
.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 154 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
Main story in the long is temperatures and frost potential Friday
night into early Saturday. Clear skies, a dry airmass, and
decreasing winds will allow frost to develop across most of the
area as temperatures fall in the low to mid 30s. May see some
isolated areas that see true hard freeze potential (freezing temps
for 3 hours), but most areas are not expected to.
Otherwise should see temperature rebound more toward normal
through Monday. Only significant chances of precip in the long
term is Monday night into Tuesday night when a cold front may move
through, which would lead to a bit of a cool down Wednesday and
Thursday.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 622 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
Cold front currently moving through western Missouri late this
afternoon will continue to trek eastward through the evening
hours. The front has made it through KJLN and will move through
the KSGF and KBBG sites later this evening, with a wind shift to
the northwest. Ahead of the front there will be periodic showers
and thunderstorms, which may reduce visibilities and ceilings
briefly into the lower MVFR or even IFR categories. Otherwise,
expect post frontal precipitation to come back in later tonight,
with ceilings falling into the MVFR and IFR flight categories.
Clouds will quickly clear from west to east Friday morning with
clear and breezy conditions then expected through 00Z.
