Key Messages:

1. Storms moving into southeast KS and the Missouri Ozarks this
morning into early afternoon.

2. Additional showers and storms Friday into Saturday.

3. Much cooler Saturday and Sunday.

4. Wet weather next week.

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 318 AM CDT Thu May 19 2022

Strong to severe storms that developed over southwest KS Wednesday
evening continue to move to the eastward along a warm front early
this morning. The leading edge of the storms was located near the
I-35 corridor from Ponca City to near Guthrie at 3 AM.

The latest CAMs output shows the storms reaching our southeast KS
counties by around 6 AM, spreading into southwest Missouri near
Springfield by around 8 AM, and continuing east-northeast into
central MO through early afternoon. LAPS data shows decent
instability early this morning with CAPE over 2000 j/kg, but also
seeing around 200 J/kg of convective inhibition. So expect storms
to remain rooted above the boundary layer early this morning, but
would not be surprised if we had some sporadic severe hail and
wind gusts.

Once the storms manage to become more surface-based during the late
morning and afternoon, they will likely be more intense. The latest
HRRR continues to show curved forecast hodographs which favor
rotating storms over central MO, along with around 3000 J/kg of
surface-based CAPE. Given these conditions, a tornado or two will be
possible with these storms in addition to large hail and severe
straight line winds. However the higher tornado probabilities
have shifted eastward with a focus along the lifting warm front
over eastern MO and southern IL during the afternoon.

Most storms are expected to move east of our central MO counties
by mid to late afternoon. We then expect dry conditions through
the evening and overnight hours. Overnight temperatures will fall
only into the upper 60s to lower 70s as the warm sector remains over
the region.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 318 AM CDT Thu May 19 2022

A cold front will move into the region beginning Friday but will
be slower to move eastward as the associated upper level trough
continues to dig to the west and southwest flow aloft sets up
parallel to the front. This will increase our precipitation and
flood potential as storms train over saturated areas. Severe storm
potential will remain over the region as the airmass ahead of the
front remains very unstable.

By late Saturday and early Sunday, the front will finally move
east of the area and allow the well advertised cooler and drier air
to spread into the region as high pressure drops southward out of
the northern Rockies.

By Monday we will begin to transition back to a wetter weather
pattern through Wednesday as the upper level trough to our west
digs southward into the four corners region and brings a warm
front northward from the Red River into the Ohio Valley. Long
range models are differing on the placement of the upper trough
from midweek on as the ECMWF wants to shift it eastward into the
central US by Wednesday while the GFS keeps the trough to our west
and develops a cutoff low over west Texas.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 632 AM CDT Thu May 19 2022

Included tempo thunderstorms for JLN and SGF this morning as a
storm complex moves into the aerodromes from southeast Kansas and
northeast Oklahoma. The leading edge of the storms are moving
northeast at about 30 knots, so the airports should only be
impacted for a few hours.

Also made a quick edit to include MVFR fog at BBG with low
temp/dewpoint spread and light winds.

From early afternoon through the rest of the forecast period, main
concern will be with low level wind shear developing after 03-04Z
at all airports. Local wind shear program shows potential for
50-60 knots at 2000 feet AGL after 9-10Z as a strong low level jet
sets up ahead of a deepening low pressure system.

...Strong to Severe Storms This Morning and Afternoon...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited tornado risk.
  Limited hail risk.
  Limited thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Limited lightning risk.
  Limited excessive rainfall risk
  Limited non thunderstorm wind risk.

DISCUSSION...

Strong to severe storms across southwest Missouri early this
morning will move northeastward into central Missouri through this
morning and afternoon. Storm intensities are expected to
increase through the morning and afternoon as the storms move
into an area of greater instability. The strongest storms may be
capable of producing up to golf ball sized hail, wind gusts over
70 mph and potentially a tornado or two. The greatest risk will be
east of a line from Warsaw to Bolivar to Rogersville.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Storm chances will continue into Friday and Saturday as a slow
moving cold front moves over the Ozarks. There will be an
increased potential for flooding in addition to severe storms on
Friday and Saturday.

Another front will move northward from the Red River Valley into
the Ozarks from Monday through Wednesday and will bring more
storms to the region.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 Spotter activation may be needed this morning and afternoon east
 of a line from Warsaw to Bolivar to Rogersville.
