.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Mon May 13 2024

A low pressure system will continue to move through the region
today before moving out on Tuesday. In the warm sector ahead of
the low this afternoon/evening, isolated to scattered showers
and storms are expected, as we could see a few strong to severe
thunderstorms given MUCAPE values up to 1,000-1,500 J/kg and
0-6km shear of up to 30-35 kts. Overall, expect organization to
be limited, which should limit severe threats to hail up to 1
inch in diameter and gusts less than 60 mph in the very
strongest storms.

Very localized flooding is also possible through this evening,
mainly due to increased soil moisture from recent rainfall
events. Could see localized additional rainfall amounts up to
1-2 inches, but most locations will see less than that.

Additional isolated to scattered showers and storms are
expected on Tuesday, ending from west to east in the
afternoon/evening.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Mon May 13 2024

Tuesday night and Wednesday will be dry for the most part, then
models show additional rounds of upper level energy bringing
rain chances Wednesday night into Sunday. There is a high
degrees of variability in guidance, which lowers confidence,
but the best chances for rain are Wednesday night into Thursday
at 50-70%.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1229 PM CDT Mon May 13 2024

Additional scattered showers and storms are possible this
afternoon and evening. Rain should clear out late this evening
into tonight, but low level moisture will increase and lead to
MVFR to IFR ceilings by late tonight. Additional scattered
showers and possibly thunderstorms are expected Tuesday, with
the greatest chances at KSGF and KBBG.
