Issued at 322 AM CDT SUN JUN 20 2021

Key messages:

- One last hot and humid day (for this stretch anyway) before a
  cold front moves through tonight, cooling things down through
  the middle of the week.

- Severe storms are possible late this afternoon and this evening
  as that cold front moves through the area.

Detailed Discussion...

As of 0730Z, the backbuilding MCS and the MCS moving east out of KS
into NW MO, have merged with widespread thunderstorm activity from NW
MO that will spread across northern MO through the remainder of the
overnight hours. The severe threat has diminished somewhat. But
there remains 2000-3000 J/KG of MUCAPE with marginal shear across
northern MO. So additional strong updrafts with some hail potential
will continue to be a hazard this morning, along with strong winds.
This combined MCS will move northeast of the forecast area by
late this morning. Cloud cover may inhibit or delay warming up
today but by this afternoon, it looks like temperatures will still
be able to climb into the middle 90s across. With similar
humidity to yesterday, heat index values will again climb into
the upper 90s to around 100 degrees.

A strong cold front is expected to move through the area late this
afternoon into this evening. Given the the hot and humid air mass
present over the area, there will be ample instability for potential
storms to work with. Forecast soundings show steep mid-level lapse
rates and with deep-layer shear of 30+ kts, there is potential
for large hail. Damaging winds will also be hazard with these
storms given steep low-level lapse rates.

Much cooler temperatures will move into the area behind this
front with an area of high pressure settling across the middle of
the country. This cooler weather will be enhanced by another area
of showers/storms across the southern half of the forecast area on
Monday, associated with another shortwave trough moving through
the larger scale pattern. The end result of this is that highs on
Monday will top out in the low to mid 70s. The cooler conditions
will persist into the middle of the week with temperatures
climbing back into the upper 80s by Wednesday. As the cooler high
pressure shifts to the east, southerly flow will resume and by
Thursday, we'll see dewpoints climb back into the upper 60s and
lower 70s. Temperatures will climb back into the 90s so we'll see
heat indices back into the upper 90s to near 100. This round of
heat looks short-lived as another broad upper trough pushes a
front through the area Friday into Saturday. It looks like the
best chances for storms will be Thursday night into Friday morning
as a strong low-level jet noses into the area.

Issued at 610 AM CDT SUN JUN 20 2021

VFR conditions with south winds expected through the day. A cold
front will move through the area this afternoon and this evening.
Scattered showers and storms are expected to develop along the
front. Have added a VCTS group for when the front moves through to
account for this. Brief reductions in visibility and ceilings are
possible if storms move over a site. Otherwise, VFR conditions can
be expected through the evening and overnight hours. Winds shift
to the west and then to the north behind the front.
