Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
110 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

  winds and tornadoes are the main concern during the 4pm-2am
  timeframe. Remain weather aware this evening!

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 100 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

Water vapor showed the upper low spinning east through New
Mexico with southwest flow aloft continuing. Therefore large
scale lift continues with showers and storms continuing across
portions of the area, especially in areas southeast of
Springfield where flash flooding and river flooding is ongoing.

Of concern is the increase in instability which is occuring
mid day from eastern Oklahoma into far southwest Missouri where
satellite shows lots of breaks in the clouds and temps warming
into the upper 60s and lower 70s. ML CAPE values of 500-1000j/kg
have crept up to areas just south of the Missouri/Arkansas
border and will likely continue lifting north. Last few runs of
the Warn on Forecast System shows mean ML CAPE values of
500-1200j/kg lifting as far north as Joplin to Springfield to
Houston by 3-6pm. This combined with 0-6km shear of 50-60kts and
0-1km shear of 25-35kts will allow for organized storms,
perhaps a mixed mode of supercells and line segments. Damaging
winds up to 80mph and tornadoes will be the main concerns with
some potential for significant tornadoes (EF-2+) given the high
shear and enlarged hodographs (latest RAP showing sig tor
parameter of 2-3 sneaking into southern Missouri this evening).
If supercells do indeed become more likely than the hail size
may need to be increased (quarter to golfball). We will be doing
a special upper air sounding this afternoon to assess the
environment further.

The highest potential for these severe storms (already
developing in Oklahoma) is after 3pm with peak intensity during
the 4pm-12am timeframe with a messy transition to a QLCS mode
during the late evening/overnight hours. Exactly where and when
it transitions to linear is uncertain as it could transition as
early as 6-8pm. Regardless, damaging winds and tornadoes will
still be a concern with the line as it moves east.

This will likely be a rapidly evolving severe event late this
afternoon and evening and we encourage everyone to remain
weather aware and have ways to get to a safe location if storms
approach.

Rainfall rates will be very high given the high PW airmass.
Latest HREF PMM is showing widespread 1-3 inches of rainfall
with this final round with a few localized 4 inches totals.
This would lead to additional flooding, especially in hard hit
areas Southeast of Springfield and a Moderate risk for
excessive rainfall is now out for those areas southeast of
Springfield.

The shortwave trough will pass through during the afternoon with
skies gradually clearing out and temps in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 100 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

Ensembles suggest that the southwest flow pattern will generally
continue with a quick return by Wednesday as another
disturbance moves into the Rockies. Ensembles begin to diverge
by Thursday as the guidance is split on the trough closing off
and slowing down or ejecting faster east. The majority of
guidance is slower with the upper low moving out therefore rain
chances are currently low for Wednesday and Thursday (10-30%)
and then increasing Friday into Saturday (50-70%). The speed of
this trough will greatly affect precip chances late next week
however chances have increase for Friday and Saturday. Temps
look to remain around average (highs in the 60s).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1117 AM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

Flight conditions will deteriorate later this afternoon and
especially this evening as showers and thunderstorms move back
into the sites. Timeframe with highest chances for thunderstorms
is 23z-4z. Some thunderstorms will likely be severe with
damaging winds this evening/tonight. Ceilings/vis will likely
lower into MVFR within storms. Outside of storms the winds will
remain southeasterly with a switch to the southwest Tuesday
morning. Low level wind shear is likely at the TAF sites
tonight.

1236 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

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

DISCUSSION...

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop and increase in
strength this afternoon and evening, especially storms moving out
of Oklahoma and Arkansas. A broken line of storms will develop
along a cold front, with supercell storms potentially developing
ahead of the cold front before merging into the line. All storms
will bring the risk of damaging winds up to 60 to 80 mph, and
tornadoes. There is the potential for a few significant tornadoes
(EF-2 or greater). Hail up to the size of ping pong balls will
also be a concern. Storms will move through mainly during the 4pm
through 12am timeframe however some severe threat could extend
into 3am east of Springfield.

Another round of heavy rain with amounts of 1-3 inches could cause
more flooding tonight, especially for areas that have already
received several inches of rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

After storms and heavy rainfall move east on Tuesday, conditions
will be quiet before rain chances between 30 and 50 percent
return on Friday and Saturday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 Spotter activation will likely be needed later today and tonight.
