Area forecast discussion, May 18, 11:32 PM CDT, 2 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1132 PM CDT Sat May 18 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 357 PM CDT Sat May 18 2019 An upper level impulse was making its way across the Rockies into the Southern Plains at mid afternoon. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms was currently making its way across the region in advance of this system. The main severe threat will be with the passage of this line from late afternoon into this evening. Expect stratiform rain to continue for 2-3 hours after passage of the initial line. Showers and thunderstorms are currently redeveloping over western Kansas and CAMS models are indicating that this activity should hold together and move through during the late evening into the overnight hours. Looking for anywhere from one-half inch to 1.5 inches of additional rainfall overnight. If training cells should develop...amounts could be higher. The surface should make its way across the region during the morning bringing the rain to an end. Overnight lows should be in the upper 50s to lower 60s with highs Sunday in the 70s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday) Issued at 357 PM CDT Sat May 18 2019 Sunday afternoon into Monday morning should be relatively quiet as the next trough within the upper level flow begins to make its way across the Rockies. From Monday afternoon through the remainder of the forecast period will be unsettled. A negatively tilted trough lifts out of the Rockies into the Plains. As it does...it will bring a warm front across the region Tuesday morning. This will put the area within the warm sector and set the region up once again for another severe weather episode Tuesday afternoon and evening. As this is happening...the upper level subtropical ridge begins to build over the southeastern states which will allow the surface front to stall and meander across the Mid-Mississippi Valley. This will keep the Gulf open and continue to allow warm moist air to permeate the region. Will need to monitor the situation closely as the potential for excessive rainfall will exist during this period. Temperatures will be close to seasonal normals through Tuesday will once again warm to daytime highs in the 80s and overnight lows in the 60s as the Gulf airmass returns to the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1130 PM CDT Sat May 18 2019 An upper level trough is currently located across the Plains and will track across the area overnight. Thunderstorms have developed in Oklahoma and Kansas and will move east into portions of the area overnight. Generally locations along and north of Hwy 60 will have the better chances of seeing any storms. A few strong storms with gusty winds and small hail will be possible. IFR conditions will be possible with any storms. Otherwise winds will be out of the south early in the TAF period and will swing to the west overnight then to the north west on Sunday morning behind a frontal passage. Ceilings should gradually improve during the afternoon hours. Some drizzle may be possible in the morning hours. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
