Key Messages:

1. High rain chances Sunday Night into early Monday. Rainfall
amounts of 0.25 to 0.75 inch are likely.

2. Marginal risk of severe thunderstorms Sunday Night into early
Monday morning, mainly west of Springfield.

3. Windy conditions Sunday Night into Monday with south to
southwest gusts of 40 to 50 mph.

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 245 AM CST Sat Feb 25 2023

Current Conditions and Synoptic Pattern: Water vapor imagery and
upper air analysis revealed that the area remains in southwest
upper level flow. An upper level low will still cut off, spinning
off the the coast of California. This will be the system that
impacts the area Sunday Night. A 1030mb high across Nebraska and
Kansas continues to slide towards the area with a surface trough
currently moving through. The area is currently precipitation
free with temps in the 30s to around 40. A look at regional upper
air soundings from 00z shows that significant low level moisture
(surface dewpoints in the 60s and 70s) has been suppressed to the
Gulf coast awaiting the next system to draw it back north.

Today and Tonight: Given the continued upper level southwest flow,
bouts of mid and high level clouds will stream northeast into the
area during the day, which will have an impact on high
temperatures. While we have gone a little cooler than NBM
guidance, temps should still reach at least 50 degrees in most
places today, with mid 50s closer to the Missouri/Arkansas state
line. Surface high pressure will slide through during the day,
with northerly winds this morning becoming southerly by
afternoon. By late tonight, low level warm air advection kicks in
as a low level jet increases across Oklahoma and noses into
southwest Missouri. High res model guidance suggests that isolated
to scattered showers will develop and spread into the area from
the southwest. There is a signal that about 100j/kg of MU CAPE
will be present with lifting parcels from 825mb, therefore a low
chance exists for a thunderstorm, generally southwest of
Springfield.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 245 AM CST Sat Feb 25 2023

Sunday: A potent upper level low is forecast to move into the
desert southwest tonight into Sunday. This will allow for
low level moisture to lift back north into the area from the Gulf
of Mexico. Showers will be ongoing Sunday morning and with low
level warm air advection continuing most of the day, additional
scattered showers will move through at times, especially west of
Springfield. It likely won't be a washout day, but more of a
cloudy/damp day. Temps will also begin to increase further with
highs in the lower 60s expected. If clouds/precip are not as
widespread during the day then highs could increase further.

By Sunday night, surface low pressure looks to strengthen across
Kansas. Upper level dynamics and increasing instability will
likely allow for severe storms to develop across Oklahoma Sunday
evening. This activity would then move into the area overnight
into early Monday morning. Latest instability forecasts continue
to trend down on the amount of instability available across the
area. This is not uncommon for systems that move through during
the overnight hours. It currently looks like a weakening line of
storms will be moving into southeast Kansas and western Missouri
from midnight onward into early Monday morning. MU CAPE forecasts
continue to remain less than 500j/kg across this area, therefore
it is uncertain if the line of storms can remain organized as it
moves through the western portions of the area. Wind shear will
not be an issue and an impressive 70kt 850mb low level jet could
allow for strong/damaging winds to reach the surface, even with a
weakening line of storms. Forecast soundings also show decent mid
level lapse rates, therefore any storms that can remain organized
could produce some hail up to the size of quarters. We will likely
continue to fine tune the instability forecasts over the next 24
hrs as we enter the realm of high res ensemble forecasts.

Confidence is high that widespread precip will occur with this
system. NBM probs for rainfall amounts currently show a 50-80
percent chance of at least 0.50 inch of rainfall with this system
from Springfield and points northwest. The chances for 1 inch or
greater remains less than 20 percent therefore we are not
anticipating any flooding concerns at this time.

The other impactful aspect of this system will be the strong
gusty winds as the surface low tracks across northern Missouri on
Monday morning. Ensembles continue to suggest the surface low
will deepen to 980-984mb as it moves through northern Missouri.
This is near the minimum of climatology per Euro ensemble and
NAEFS percentile data. The latest NBM forecasts along with the
ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index is showing very windy conditions
across the area late Sunday night through Monday morning with the
intense surface pressure gradient. While the current NBM wind
forecasts continue to be too high (known high bias), the NBM10th
percentile of this guidance still has sustained winds of 20-30mph
with gusts of 35 to 45 mph. Localized gusts of 50 mph will occur
if enough downward momentum transfers occur, which are suggested
in bufkit soundings. Therefore, expect a Wind Advisory to be
issued in future updates.

NBM data suggests that temps will likely remain near or above
average for early and middle of next week as mid level ridging
builds back in. This would translate to highs in the 60s through
Wednesday, along with dry conditions. Significant ensemble spread
exists from Thursday into next weekend as another system moves
into the central US. Rain chances remain in the 30-40 percent
range for Thursday and Friday as this system potentially affects
the area.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1136 AM CST Sat Feb 25 2023

MVFR ceilings will remain over the area through the rest of the
day and could continue to low into the IFR range tonight into
Sunday morning. Some scattered rain showers will be possible
across far southern Missouri tonight into Sunday morning.
