...AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

Rather active pattern setting up across the area at mid afternoon.
Several supercells have initiated over NE OK and have moved into
the area. The RUC is indicating that instability as well as the h8
winds will continue to increase from late this afternoon into this
evening. With 0-6km bulk shear values around 50 kts at this
time...all modes of severe weather will be possible.

Surface front is currently situated from about Ft. Scott KS to
Rolla. The warm front will lift northward overnight as a surface
wave moves up the front...however...the cold front will remain
anchored over southeast Kansas as the wave moves up the front.
This will create a heavy rain scenario over southeast Kansas and
western Missouri as cells will continue to train along the front.

As the night progresses...models are hinting at the supercells
eventually evolving into a more linear mode of convection during
the overnight hours. This will increase the damaging wind and
QLCS tornado threat as well. As the line moves through...it should
stabilize the atmosphere into the morning but with the heating of
the day...could see another round of severe weather developing
tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

As the main upper level wave begins to eject into the Plains on
Thursday...the surface front will begin to make some eastward
progress. The front should push through the region Thursday night
into Friday. However...it may be Saturday morning before the rain
finally pushes completely out of the area.

We then have about a 24-hr break before the pattern repeats itself
once again. A surface front moves southward into the region on
Sunday...stalls...and meanders across the region through the
remainder of the forecast period. An upper low digs into the
longwave trough over southern California and puts us back into
southwest flow.

Temperatures for the most part will hold fairly steady with highs
in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Day-to-day variations will be
dependent upon cloud cover and rainfall.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)

Pilots flying in and out of the southwest will be dealing with
rain and thunderstorms a good portion of the night.

The severe weather has shifted out of the area, however, flight
conditions will remain limited due to rain and low cloud cover.

Rain should end at the TAF sites sometime later this morning.

Safe Travels.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited tornado risk.
  Limited thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Significant flooding risk.
  Elevated lightning risk.

DISCUSSION...

A line of thunderstorms will continue to push southeast across
south-central Missouri through 3 AM. Locally damaging winds and
an isolated tornado threat will persist mainly south of a Winona
to West Plains line.

Meanwhile, significant flooding will persist overnight across much
of the Missouri Ozarks and southeastern Kansas. This will include
the flooding of numerous creeks, streams, and low water
crossings. Some flooding across the area will be significant.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

The potential for severe thunderstorms and flooding will then
continue from Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. This
includes the potential for large hail, damaging winds, and
isolated tornadoes.

The risk for thunderstorms will then persist into Thursday and
Friday. The potential for severe storms and flooding is unclear
at this time. There are then limited chances for thunderstorms
early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
