Area forecast discussion, Aug 26, 6:55 PM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 655 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 326 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 Very complex and challenging forecast given the current storms moving through southern Missouri at this time with model guidance remaining very poor today. An outflow boundary currently resides from Chanute, KS to Joplin to Cassville, MO with a stabilized airmass occuring north of that line. The atmosphere along and southwest of that line was very unstable with ML capes around 4000 j/kg. Satellite imagery showed that the outflow boundary was slowing down its southwest extent and beginning to intersect with a frontal boundary west of Chanute. Thunderstorms will continue for the next few hours across southern Missouri before exiting the south and east. The big question for the remainder of the evening and night is with the activity that will get going later on (after 7pm) across southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma as shortwave energy moves in. This activity will likely develop and move east, likely remaining the strongest near and south of the outflow boundary/recovering airmass region. Large hail to the size of golf balls will still be possible, however this looks to be confined to extreme southeast Kansas and far southwest Missouri, locations further northeast will likely see smaller hail sizes. As far as winds go, damaging winds in excess of 60-70mph will be possible even a little further north of the outflow boundary. Cant rule out an isolated tornado, especially if any cells have boundary interaction. Timing/Locations: Storms will likely regenerate to our west after 7pm and move into southeast Kansas by 7-9pm with storms moving through southern Missouri, mainly along and south of a Ft Scott Kansas, to Bolivar, Mo to Eminence, Mo line. in the 9pm-1am timeframe. Locations further north of this line may see very little additional convection or severe potential. Conditions on Tuesday look much calmer and quieter with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 with northerly flow at 850mb. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 326 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 Surface high pressure will slide over head mid week, providing cooler and drier conditions across the area. Zonal flow returns by the end of the week into the weekend with precip chances increasing across the area. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 639 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 The Ozarks had a storm system move through earlier today. Behind the earlier system flight conditions improved to VFR with only some high cirrus clouds over the area. A cold front will move through the region this evening and into the early morning hours. Along the front showers and storms will bring MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities with heavy rainfall. Winds will s=shift from southerly to northerly behind the front with low IFR stratus lingering across the region through early Tuesday afternoon. Skies will then clear from west to east by the afternoon and into Tuesday evening. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
