.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 241 AM CDT Sun May 26 2024

Synoptic overview and current conditions: Water vapor imagery
and upper level analysis show an upper level shortwave currently
shifting east across the plains. 90 to 100 kt upper level jet
streak was pushing northeast out of TX and OK into southeast KS
and southwest MO. Lower in the atmosphere, 850mb analysis shows
a strong low level jet of 50 to 55kts from eastern OK into
western MO. At the surface, low pressure was located over
central KS with a stationary boundary bisecting our CWA from
northwest to southeast. Supercell activity over southeast KS and
northwest AR with additional line segments over northeast KS.
Temperatures across the CWA were in the low to mid 70s with dew
points in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Rest of tonight into Sunday morning: Severe convection will
continue to track east across southern Missouri during the
remainder of the overnight. Large hail up to baseball size,
damaging wind gusts over 70 mph and tornadoes will remain
possible with these supercells. Intense rainfall rates will also
lead to some flash flooding where the heaviest rain falls and we
have a flood watch out until 7 pm this evening.

This afternoon into Tonight: An upper level wave will shift into
the area this afternoon, while the surface low and cold front
will push into the CWA. If enough atmospheric recovery can take
place from this mornings convection, sufficient instability
should build up ahead of the cold front and any remnant
boundaries for the redevelopment of strong to severe convection
during the afternoon and evening. The most likely areas for
severe convective redevelopment this afternoon will be east of
the US 65 corridor. Large hail up to golf ball size and damaging
wind gusts in excess of 70 mph will be the main severe weather
risks. An isolated tornado risk will also be possible. Most of
the activity should exit the area by 10 pm.

Overnight and Monday: Clearing should take place overnight
tonight behind the cold front and upper wave, with drier air
moving into the area. Surface high pressure will move into the
area tonight into Monday. Lows in the upper 50s to low 60s are
expected tonight with highs on Monday in the upper 70s to low
80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 241 AM CDT Sun May 26 2024

On Monday night, another strong upper level wave will drop
southeast over the upper Mississippi valley region and into the
Great Lakes region Tuesday into Tuesday night. This will keep us
in a northwest flow pattern into the middle of the week with
surface high pressure being reinforced over the region. Dry and
slightly cooler temperatures are expected during this period.

High pressure will shift eastward during the end of the week and
will allow moisture to start creeping back into the area over
the western CWA with precipitation chances increasing over the
area from late in the week into the upcoming weekend(20-50%).

Temperatures in the later part of the long term will be near
seasonal norms.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 618 AM CDT Sun May 26 2024

Main severe convection has pushed off to the east. Additional
convection was to the north of SGF/JLN with a southward moving
outflow boundary about to push through SGF. If the atmosphere
can recover, additional thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon along any boundaries and/or the cold front. Mainly
expecting VFR conditions through the period. Main additional
convection chances will be late this afternoon into the early
evening and we have given BBG a prob30 group for that. Clearing
should take place later this evening behind the cold front.
