PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL AGAIN BE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN
TODAY.

A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS SOUTHEAST AND CENTRAL
MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON.  MOISTURE POOLING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY...AND CAPES AROUND 3500 J/KG WERE SUPPORTING RAPID
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.

A SHORTWAVE NOW OVER MANITOBA WILL BE THE MAJOR FEATURE OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AS IS IT AIDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH
OVER EASTERN CANADA.  THIS WILL BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
FRIDAY AND COOLER TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND.  MODELS IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH TIMING OF THIS FRONT.

FOR TONIGHT...WILL CARRY CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING
WITH ONGOING CONVECTION.  LIGHT WIND FIELD AT ALL LEVELS WILL RESULT
IN SLOW MOVING AND POTENTIALLY FLOOD PRODUCING STORMS.  SOME HAIL
ALSO POSSIBLE IN STRONGER PULSE TYPE STORMS.

ON THURSDAY...SHEAR AXIS THAT HAS BEEN PARKED OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS WILL SHIFT INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY.  ALTHOUGH
FOCUS OF CONVECTION WILL BE FARTHER SOUTH...SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY
AND NO CAP WILL RESULT IN DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION.  A COLD FRONT
DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL MAKE IT INTO NORTHERN
MISSOURI THURSDAY NIGHT.  THIS WILL CONTINUE THE RAIN THREAT THROUGH
THE NIGHT.

THE FRONT WILL SLIDE INTO THE OZARKS ON FRIDAY KEEPING THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION GOING.

IN THE EXTENDED...MODELS CONSISTENT IN PUSHING THE FRONT OUT OF THE
AREA BY EARLY SATURDAY SO WILL GO FOR A DRY DAY.  THE AVN PROGS A
SHORTWAVE TO CROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY.  CONSIDERABLE MID-HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT DO NOT EXPECT PRECIPITATION
AS HIGH PRESSURE AND A DRIER AIRMASS WILL SPREADING OVER THE AREA AT
THE SURFACE.

THANKS FOR THE COORDINATION EAX.
