653 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017

...Significant Flood Event and Severe Weather Expected...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 641 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017

Monitoring for initial thunderstorm development across northern
Arkansas into far southern Missouri as the evening progresses
along and just north of a slowly advancing warm front. Expect
storms to begin developing across far southern Missouri generally
south of Highway 60 around and after 03z (10 PM). The primary
severe risk with this initial storm development will be large
hail.

The risk of flash flood will rapidly increase as we head into the
overnight hours. Deep convection with high rainfall rates will
result in quick accumulation of heavy rainfall. Excessive runoff
will quickly develop.

Multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected tonight into
Saturday. The risk of severe weather will increase heading toward
and into Saturday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 251 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017

We are expecting convection to redevelop along a frontal boundary
lifting to the north into southern Missouri this evening between 8
pm and 9 pm. Convection is expected to expand northward across the
area during the overnight hours as the low level jet begins to
redevelop over the area. Instability is expected to increase
tonight, especially south of the warm front and there will be
plenty of available wind shear for the potential of severe storms.
Hail would be the primary risk for areas north of the warm front,
but along and south of the warm front, a wind risk would also be
possible. A tornado risk can not be ruled out if storms can become
surface based south of the warm front. Some linear segments will
be possible overnight into Saturday where there would be a wind
risk and also a QLCS tornado risk.

In addition to the severe weather chances, very rich moisture will
advect into the area beginning tonight, where PW values of 1.5 to
1.7 in. will be possible...approaching record levels for late
April. So the storms which develop will be very efficient rain
producers. For the system duration, we are still going with 4 to 6
inches of widespread rainfall across the area, but we would still
anticipate localized areas to have higher amounts approaching 8
inches. This would likely occur in areas where storms can train
across the same locations.

The high QPF totals will have a significant impact on area rivers,
streams and low lying areas across the region, and many of these
rivers are expected to go into Moderate or Major Flooding.
A flash flood watch remains in effect through Sunday.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Friday)
Issued at 209 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017

By Sunday night, the heavy rain will have shifted to the east of
the area with the main upper low still over our western CWA. Can't
rule out some lighter rain or showers with the upper low passing
across the area, but should not cause additional impact to the
ongoing flooding. There will likely be ongoing flooding from this
weekends system continuing through much of next week.

We will be cooler next week as we remain in a west to northwest
upper level flow. The next shortwave is expected to drop into the
area by midweek with another round of rainfall for the area.
Thunderstorm chances look lower at this point due to most of the
instability remaining south of the area.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 641 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2017

Pilots can expect prevailing IFR to MVFR conditions at area
terminals tonight through Saturday as a warm front lifts north
into the area. Periods of showers and thunderstorms will impact
the region later this evening through Saturday night. Visibility
will be reduced in heavy rain.

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited Tornado risk.
  Elevated Hail risk.
  Elevated Thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Elevated Flooding risk.
  Significant Lightning risk.

DISCUSSION...

Thunderstorms will develop late this evening into the overnight across
far southern Missouri and expand northward across the Missouri
Ozarks and far southeastern Kansas.

There is an elevated risk for strong to severe storms capable of
producing large hail to the size of golf balls, wind gusts in
excess of 60 mph and perhaps an isolated tornado. The hail risk
will extend across most of the outlook area overnight, while the
wind risk will be primarily along and south of Highway 60
corridor, and the tornado risk mainly along the Missouri Arkansas
border.

The risk for flash flooding will rapidly increase overnight as
multiple rounds of storms begin tracking across the region. A
Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the entire outlook area through
Sunday.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms producing torrential rainfall
will continue Saturday into Saturday night before ending Sunday.
Storm total rainfall amounts of 4 and 6 inches will common by
Sunday with localized areas receiving up to 8 inches. This
rainfall will lead to flash flooding. Along with flooding of
streams, and low water crossings, many area rivers are expected
to reach moderate flood stage, with several locations possibly
reaching major flood stage. Preparations should be made for a
significant flood event.

There is also an elevated risk for severe storms all day Saturday.
These storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging wind
gusts in excess of 60 MPH, and perhaps a tornado or two. The
greatest risk for severe storms Saturday will be along and south
of Interstate 44.

Residual flooding will likely continue through at least the first
half of the workweek next week.

There will be an additional risk for showers and a few thunderstorms
by mid week next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 Spotter activation may be needed later tonight across far
 southern Missouri.

The people who died

As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.

Heavy Rain: Rainfall totals unusual for the place and season that did not produce a flood.
Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.
