Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 243 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018 ...Storms Possible this Evening then Nice Weather Sunday... .SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Sat Jun 2 2018 A cold front will push south across southern Missouri through this evening as an upper level trough moves across the region. Thunderstorms are expected to develop across south central and portions of far southern Missouri through early this evening as the front drops southeastward. With mean layer CAPE around 3000 J/KG, moderate deep layer shear and steep mid level lapse rates some storms could strong to severe storms.

In general the greatest risk for severe storms will be southeast of a Rolla to Houston line. Continue to closely monitor weather conditions and the latest information. A much more pleasant airmass will follow the frontal passage for Sunday. Cooler temperatures and less humid conditions can be expected along with a northerly breeze.

Dry weather is expected through at least Tuesday but will have to monitor the development of convective complexes over the Plains. It appears there is some potential for convective complexes to impact area at times during the last half of next week.
