.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 927 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021/

UPDATE...

Convection continues to fire up this evening to the north and
west of the Mid-South. The convection is developing along old
outflow boundaries leftover from previous convection. Still not
exactly sure how the convection will evolve during the overnight
hours. The CAMs are consistent on trying to merge the convection
over Southern Missouri with the convection over Western Arkansas
creating a large line of storms. Right now, think it may end up
being clusters of broken line segments moving into the area. Will
have to just wait and see. Damaging winds and locally heavy
rainfall will be the main threats from the storms. POPS look good.
Although, will make some minor tweaks to temperatures. Update
will be out shortly.

DISCUSSION... /issued 248 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021/

Diurnal thunderstorms are popping up across the area this
afternoon. Farther north, ahead of a shortwave which is forecast
to dive south into the mid-section of the country and close off on
Sunday/Monday, more organized convection is expected to develop.
This upper level feature is expected to push a line of
thunderstorms into our area this evening spreading southward
overnight. A slight risk of severe weather is forecast with these
storms over about the north half of our forecast area with
damaging winds the main threat.

Another threat with these storms is heavy rainfall and localized
flash flooding.  A slight risk of excessive rainfall is evident for
a good portion of the area overnight through Sunday.  For now,
holding off on a flash flood watch since the storms tonight are
expected to move fairly progressively south. Additionally, on Sunday
it remains difficult to pinpoint where the boundary will eventually
end up resulting in a focus for potential heavy rainfall on Sunday.
Nevertheless, there is a continued risk for localized flash
flooding.

The upper level low is the dominate feature in our weather into
early next week.  Temperatures will respond with below average
readings through Tuesday before the low lifts out. In the wake of
the upper low more normal temperature readings and a continued
diurnal threat for storms. Later in the period another shortwave
swings through in the westerly flow and pushes another front into
the area.

The overall pattern through the period does not favor prolonged
above average temperatures in our forecast area.  This is due to a
strong upper high over the mountain west and a general trough over
the middle of the country.

.AVIATION...

Convection organizing across southern MO and northern AR will push
across the Mid-South overnight with a period of IFR vsbys/MVFR
cigs and gusty winds. Expect a few hours of light SHRAs after the
TSRAs roll through followed by a few hours of MVFR cigs Sunday
morning. Some CAMS are showing some TSRA redevelopment in the
morning hours but we should see some stabilization after tonight's
activity. Decided to hold off any redevelopment until the
afternoon hours. Afternoon convection should dissipate with loss
of heating. Low clouds look likely Sunday night into Monday
morning.

Winds will generally be SSW around 10 kts with some higher gusts
during the afternoon.
