.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019

Isolated showers/tstms have popped up over the past hour east of
KSGF. Updrafts so far haven't been sustained, and we have only
seen a few isolated lightning strikes. Believe this activity will
be diurnally driven with continued chances for a few storms this
afternoon. Shear supports multicell/pulse type convection with
gusty winds/small hail.

Overall better chances for scattered storms will be tied to a cold
front that now extends from eastern IA-northern MO into northeast
KS. Seeing some pockets of cu develop and isolated tstms along
the front attm. Most high res short term guidance does eventually
break out scattered convection in the frontal zone to varying
degrees as it moves southeast into central and southern MO. Strong
instability with mlcapes close to 2500-3500 j/kg into the early
evening along with 0-6km bulk shear increasing to 30-40kts will
support large hail/damaging winds (dcapes 1000-1200 j/kg) with
isolated storms. Storms will move south into our cwfa during the
evening hours then gradually weaken and/or shift southeast of the
area after 06z.

Weak high pressure will move into southern IA/northern MO by
Sunday afternoon with the remains of the sfc front extending from
southeast KS in far sw MO and northern AR. Some diurnally driven
convection will be possible in those areas.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019

Scattered convection will be possible on an almost daily basis
through this period. Mid level heights will build somewhat
Monday/Tuesday with more limited chances. The ridge will shift
east and weaken as a shortwave moves into the central/southern
Plains Wednesday/Thursday with overall better chances for
showers/thunderstorms. Will need to watch for some heavier
rainfall potential during this time. Guidance varies by Friday and
Saturday on the eastward progress of the upper system. Rain
chances may linger into Friday/Saturday favoring the eastern cwfa,
but confidence by this time is lower than normal.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 617 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019

For the 00z TAFS...supercells over west central MO have formed
into a cluster of storms and have this affecting the JLN/SGF tafs
between 01z and 04z and to BBG by 04-07z. Outside of the
convection we are expecting VFR conditions, but convection will
take it into MVFR and IFR.

Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Elevated hail risk.
  Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Limited lightning risk.

DISCUSSION...

A cluster of strong to severe storms will bring hail to the size
of quarters and wind gusts over 60 mph as it pushes through
extreme southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri.

Additional supercell storms will be capable of producing up to
golf ball size hail and 60 mph wind across central Missouri this
evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Periodic thunderstorms are expected across the outlook area for
much of next week. While it is too early to tell precisely where
thunderstorms will track, a renewed risk for flooding may
materialize over parts of the outlook area. The best chances for
heavier rain appears to be Wednesday and Thursday.

  extreme southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas and also in
