Area Forecast Discussion

400 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 334 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019

Dealing with both convective and winter type weather at this hour.
First round of convection moved through the area late this evening
and has since moved out. New round of convection currently moving
into north central Arkansas will move into south central Missouri
within the next hour or two. This should be through the area by
mid morning.

Surface front at this hour is roughly along I-44 into a low south
of Monett. To the south of this front...temperatures are still in
the 50s and 60s providing an environment for strong to severe
thunderstorms. To the north of the boundary...temperatures are at
or below freezing. This is producing a wintry mix with freezing
rain being the predominate type.

An upper level wave currently moving into the Southern plains
will begin to push the front eastward this morning. As the colder
air filters into the region will gradually turn over to a wintry
mix of freezing rain...sleet...and light snow. The precipitation
will come to an end over western portions of the area by mid to
late morning and should exit the entire region by this evening.

As the colder air moves into the area overnight...lows are
expected to range from the single digits over central Missouri and
extreme southeast Kansas to the mid teens along the Arkansas
border.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 334 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019

The cold air will remain in place over the weekend this highs in
the 20s on Friday and in the 30s on Saturday. The next system
begins to affect the region Saturday night into Sunday.
However...with temperatures forecast to be above freezing during
the day and at or below freezing at night...could see
precipitation transitioning back and forth between rain during the
day and a rain/snow mix at night.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 554 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019

A very complex weather pattern over the region will bring
multiple flight concerns for aviators flying into the Ozarks over
the next 24 hours. Ceilings and visibilities will be predominantly
low end MVFR to IFR. A few periods of improved conditions will
occur but will be short lived. Weather ranging from thunderstorms
with hail to dense fog to freezing rain will make the flight
conditions difficult over the area. A cold front will begin to
clear out the region, but not until after 18z Thursday.
Additionally, a very strong low level jet will bring low level
wind shear and gusty surface winds to the area after sunrise
Thursday as well.
