.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Synoptic overview and current conditions: Upper analysis and
water vapor imagery show a broad trough over the great basin and
southwest U.S. with a closed low centered roughly over the 4
corners region. Broad southwesterly flow continues out ahead of
the low and into the central U.S. A well defined surface front
was located from northeast of a low in the OK panhandle into
northeast Kansas and northeast Iowa with mid 60s dew points in
the warm sector south of the low. A dryline extended south of
the low west Texas. Convection has developed in the warm sector
over western OK into south central KS and also along the
frontal boundary in central into northeast KS.

Tonight: 18z sounding still shows an inversion from around 800mb
to 750mb. Still some decent elevated instability above the
inversion layer with 1000-1500 j/kg. CAMS are suggesting some
scattered convection over the area this afternoon and early
evening over the eastern CWA. Large hail and damaging winds
would be the main risk with any initial development in our east.
Later this evening and overnight, the convection which is
currently developing to our west is expected to move into the
western CWA. Supercells will be possible initially with very
large hail to the size of baseballs, damaging wind gusts up to
70 mph and a few strong tornadoes possible. Overnight, this
activity will likely form into a thunderstorm complex, with all
modes of severe weather still possible. Very heavy rainfall is
expected with PW values of 1.2" to 1.7" over the area. Storms
will likely train from southwest to northeast with repeated
heavy rain over the same area. Unfortunately, this will be the
same areas which have received heavy rain and flooding the past
2 days. Several inches of additional rain are expected in the
western CWA which will likely lead to additional flooding and
potentially significant flooding. Several rivers are already in
moderate flood stage and there continues to flooding from the
previous 2 days of heavy rain. A flood watch is in effect from 7
pm this evening through 1 pm Sunday.

Sunday and Sunday night: A thunderstorm complex will continue
to push east across the area Sunday morning. The main upper
trough axis and surface front will still be west of the area. If
sufficient destabilization can occur behind the thunderstorm
complex on Sunday afternoon, then additional strong to severe
thunderstorm redevelopment will be possible as the upper wave
pushes to the northeast. If convection does redevelop, it would
then push east across the area during the afternoon and evening
hours. Large hail and damaging winds would be the main risks,
with tornadoes still possible. Heavy rain and flooding will also
be possible.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

The convection should push southeast of the area on Monday with
high pressure moving into the area. Moisture will begin to lift
back north into the area by mid to late week with shower and
thunderstorm chances increasing again in the Wednesday to
Friday time frame.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 648 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some severe, are expected
through the TAF period. The first rounds will come late this
evening into tonight, then additional rounds on Friday. TAFs
will be quite variable between thunderstorms.

238 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

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

DISCUSSION...

An east to west gradient of incraesing severe risk exists for our
forecast area tonight (generally after 7 PM). Springfield is
within a Slight (2/5) risk, Mount Vernon is within an Enhanced
(3/5) risk, and Joplin, Nevada and Pittsburg, KS are within a
Moderate (4/5) risk. For areas generally along and west of I-49,
significant severe weather is expected with strong tornadoes, hail
up to the size of baseballs, and wind gusts up to 70 mph all
possible.

Initial storms in this region will likely be training supercells
bringing all hazards before another round of storms comes through
as a line bringing mainly wind gusts and a spinup tornado or two.
This line of storms will move eastward and impact Springfield in
the early morning hours (generally between 1-4 AM).

With the training nature of storms, high amounts of moisture, and
multiple rounds of rain, significant area, river, and flash
flooding is also expected, especially in areas that have already
received 3-6 inches of rain. This includes locations along and
west of Highway 65. A Moderate (3/4) risk for excessive rainfall
exists for this area.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

There is a Slight (2/5) risk for severe weather Sunday as well.
All hazards will be possible for both days. Heavy rainfall and
flooding will also be possible with the storms. Portions of our
forecast area are in a Slight (2/4) risk for excessive rainfall
and flooding Sunday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed later today and tonight
for areas mainly west of the highway 65 corridor
