Issued at 321 PM CST SAT MAR 5 2022

KEY MESSAGES

- Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across far northern MO
(north of US-36). Primary hazards include high winds and hail. An
isolated tornado is possible

- Weaker showers and thunderstorms are expected south of US-36.
Gusty winds and sub-severe hail are still possible.

- Breezy conditions are expected to continue through the overnight.
Sustained with at 20-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH are expected.

- Breezy conditions and dry air both ahead and behind the cold front
increases fire weather concerns. Burning is discourage.

DETAILED DISCUSSION

A fairly active weather pattern is expected over the next 48 hours.
Strong southerly winds have pushed temperatures up into the 70's
most areas. A strong cold front to the west moves through this
afternoon bring chances for showers and thunderstorms with
potentially strong to severe storms expected across northern MO.
This front also flips the switch back to winter plummeting
temperatures before some light snow moves through Monday morning.

Starting off with the next few hours, a surface low over north
central KS works its way north and eastward through the afternoon
and overnight. A large area of instability driven by swift southerly
warm air advection and bounded by a moisture boundary across central
KS works its way into E KS and W MO. The triple point of the low is
the largest concern due to the interactions and forcing of all the
boundaries. Showers and thunderstorms this morning have slowed the
progression of warm air northward which slightly lowers severe
potential; however, it has also moved the concern further south
toward the MO/IA border. Therefore, areas across northern MO,
primarily north of US-36 remain in a favorable environment for
strong to severe storms. High winds above 65 MPH and 1-1.5 inch hail
continue to be the primary concerns. An isolated tornado cannot be
ruled out with a small bulge in the moisture boundary working its
way into far NW MO. Ample shear and instability above 1000 J/kg K
reinforce the environment. The largest uncertainty at the moment is
the storm motions compared to the push of warm air mentioned
earlier. Storm motions around 50-60kts allude to storms quickly
moving into a cooler environment which results in more elevated
convection reducing tornado chances. However, this does not
significant reduce the wind and hail hazards which are the primary
threats.

Further south the cold front is expected to lag behind the moisture
boundary. A line of scattered showers and thunderstorms is expected
to form southward along the moisture boundary to the west and work
its way through the region this afternoon and evening. These storms
are expected to be weaker than those to the north; however, an
isolated strong cell with gusty winds and sub severe hail is
possible. Chances for precipitation decrease as you move further
south along the KS/MO border.

On top of all of this, southerly winds around 20-25 MPH with gusts
over 40 MPH continue into the overnight. Expectations are for winds
to remain below Wind Advisory criteria; however, if post frontal
winds are faster than anticipated, a wind advisory may be needed for
the overnight. Winds are expected to slow down before sunrise
tomorrow morning.

But wait, there's more! Behind this cold front, air temperatures
traumatically decrease into The 50s Sunday, then 40s Monday.
Overnight Sunday into Monday, another wave moves to the southeastern
MO which brings chances for light rain and snow. Snow accumulations
are expected to be relatively minor with most places being 0.2-0.5
inches. Areas further north may see near an inch of snow
accumulation. A break from the activity comes Tuesday and Wednesday
when sunshine returns and temperatures rebound into the 50s.

.Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 1139 AM CST SAT MAR 5 2022

MVFR conditions are anticipated for a majority of the period.
Some isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected in the area
for the next hour or two. An area of clearing to the west is
forecasted to move over the region which may lift CIGs into VFR
for a few hours ahead of a cold front approaching from central KS.
CIGs are expected to lower ahead of the frontal passage; however,
dry air behind the front is expected to keep coverage relatively
scattered.

Winds are expected to be gusty through the period with gusts
around 30-35 knots anticipated. Winds start southerly before
transitioning through westerly to northerly behind the front.
Winds are expected to dissipate near sunrise tomorrow.

&&

.Fire Weather...
Issued at 355 AM CST SAT MAR 5 2022

Southerly winds have been sustained at 20-25 MPH with gusts
reaching 30-40 MPH. Winds have been gradually shifting toward the
southwest ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds are expected
to continue to shift northwesterly once the front passes. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected as the front moves through;
however, dry air and gusty winds behind the front keeps fire
weather concerns elevated through the overnight. Winds relax
towards sunrise tomorrow.
