618 AM CDT Thu May 23 2019
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 345 AM CDT Thu May 23 2019
Storms continue to develop across northeastern Oklahoma,
southeastern Kansas, and the Missouri Ozarks early this morning.
A cold front has moved south into the area. The strongest storms
are currently along the front generally near the Hwy 60 corridor.
The cap is starting to increase across the area, so these storms
are likely becoming more elevated in nature. This will lead to
the main strong to severe risk shifting to more of the way of
hail to the size of quarters and wind gusts up to 60 mph. Locally
heavy rainfall and an additional flood risk will also remain
possible early this morning.
Upper level ridging will build into the area from the west today,
which will start to push the front back to the north. Scattered
storms will remain possible into this afternoon along and north of
the front. A few strong storms with hail to the size of pennies
and winds to 50mph will remain possible with these storms. Locally
heavy rainfall will also occur with any storms.
Temperatures will range from the lower 80s across central MO to
the upper 80s across souther Missouri this afternoon. A strong
cap will start to build north into the area behind the front and
will help keep the area dry south of the front. Additional storms
will develop across central KS today and will likely form into a
complex of storms and spread to the northeast towards portions of
east central Kansas and west central Missouri this evening into
tonight which will be closer to the front. If storms can make it
into the far northwestern portions of the area, a few strong
storms with gusty winds will be the main risk. South of the front
storms will have a harder time spread into the area with much of
the rest of the area expected to remain dry. Residual flooding
from the recent heavy rains will remain possible today.
.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 345 AM CDT Thu May 23 2019
The upper level ridge will be over the area Friday and Saturday
and will help push the storm track to the north and west. Will
have to watch the far northwestern portions of the forecast area
which will be closer to the western edge of ridge. Storms may be
able to make it into the far western parts of the forecast area on
Friday and Saturday. Again if any storms can make it into the area
a few strong to severe storms will be possible across east
central Kansas and west central Missouri as instability increases
across the area. The main risk will be large hail and damaging
winds.
An upper level short wave trough will spread across the area on
Sunday and help flatten the ridge some. Storms will be able to
affect more of the area on Sunday, but may not be able to get all
the way into southern Missouri.
Highs will warm into the 80s all weekend with lows remaining in
the 60s each night through the weekend.
An upper level trough and cold front will move trough the region
Tuesday into Wednesday bringing better coverage in showers and
storms across all the area. Slightly cooler conditions will
spread into the area with this system for the middle of next week
as in the 70s are expected.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 617 AM CDT Thu May 23 2019
Thunderstorms are currently tracking across portions of
southeastern Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks this morning. These
storms will produce heavy downpours leading to IFR to LIFR
conditions within the storms. MVFR ceilings will also occur this
morning. Scattered storms will remain possible and lift north
through the area this afternoon. VFR conditions are expected this
afternoon into tonight.
