.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Saturday Night)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023

Key Messages:

1) Another round of convection tonight. Severe storms possible
with damaging winds and large hail, and locally heavy rainfall.

2) More severe storms possible Sunday afternoon/night as a cold
front moves through the area.

Focus now shifts to storm development tonight. As of 19z storms have
begun to develop over southeastern NE. These storms will move to the
southeast into northwestern MO late this afternoon. With MU CAPEs in
excess of 4000 J/kg, steep mid and low level lapse rates, and 40 to
50kts of deep layer sheer, discrete supercell development will
continue through the early evening hours before eventually
congealing into a complex over northwestern Missouri. Corfidi
vectors indicate that the complex will initially move to the east
then veer to the southeast later tonight across the forecast area.
So the primary area where severe storms are possible will be across
central and eastern Missouri as well as southwestern Illinois. The
main threats will be large hail and damaging winds, although an
isolated tornado is possible as well.

As for rainfall amounts, even though the storms will be fairly
progressive tonight, PWs are ranging from 1.5 to 2 inches, thus they
will be efficient rain producers. So will continue to mention
locally heavy rainfall possible in our messaging.

All of this activity is ahead of a weak cold front that will move
through the region, stalling out just south of the forecast area
during the day on Saturday. The showers and storms will taper off
and exit the region by midday. So most locations will be dry and
mild with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s.

Saturday night for most locations will be dry. However, the stalled
frontal boundary will be the focus of additional activity,
especially after 06z Sunday. So kept low chance POPs in portions of
central and southeast Missouri, as well as southern Illinois.

.LONG TERM...  (Sunday through Next Friday)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023

On Sunday the stalled frontal boundary over southern Missouri will
begin to lift northward as a warm front. With increasing low level
moisture, MU CAPEs around 1000-2000 J/kg, and decent convergence
along the boundary, showers and storms will develop along and north
of the front. In the meantime, a vigorous shortwave will slide
southeast towards the region. This will be the focus for another
round of strong to severe storms Sunday afternoon through Sunday night
as an associated cold front moves through the region. Still some
uncertainty with the timing, location and strength of the storms,
but plenty of instability. SPC has our area under a slight risk
for severe storms during this period.

Rain will taper off Monday morning as the cold front exits the area.
Beyond that cooler and drier weather is expected through the entire
work week.

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Saturday Night)
Issued at 1048 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023

Thunderstorms have rapidly developed in northwest Missouri moving
east-southeast. These currently discrete thunderstorms are expected
to congeal into a line with bowing segments and move southeast
through our forecast area, impacting all terminals tonight into
Saturday morning. These thunderstorms have a history of producing
severe conditions, and are expected to continue to do so overnight.
If a thunderstorm directly impacts a terminal, expect reduced flight
conditions as well as the potential for heavy rain, large hail, and
damaging winds. These thunderstorms and lingering showers behind the
system are expected to exit the terminals by 10z to 14z from
northwest to southeast. After this, southwesterly winds will turn to
northwesterly, and dry, VFR conditions are expected to persist
through the end of the TAF period.
