Area Forecast Discussion

1148 PM CDT Mon Jun 25 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 647 PM CDT Mon Jun 25 2018

The potential for storms and severe weather through the evening
continues to decrease. The axis of instability and low level
convergence has shifted east. Thunderstorm development could take
place overnight as the upper low tracks slowly east and a low
level jet develops. Best chance of storm development overnight
appears to be across south central Missouri.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 122 PM CDT Mon Jun 25 2018

A residual boundary from the MCS that moved across the plains last
night was moving across the Ozarks this afternoon. The latest
satellite images were showing cumulus beginning to develop near this
boundary along the Highway 65 corridor.

The daytime heating through early this afternoon ahead of the
boundary has allowed CAPE values to climb into the 2000-3000j/kg
range across the eastern Ozarks. CAMS models have been indicating
storm development across the eastern Ozarks starting around 19z.
While shear is limited and unidirectional, there will still be a
potential for strong to severe storm development this afternoon
into this evening. Current thoughts are for strong damaging winds
and significant lightning to be the primary concerns though hail
up to quarter size will also be possible.

The convection this afternoon will move quickly east allowing the
atmosphere to recharge this evening. The continuing southwesterly
flow and ample Gulf moisture will provide continued fuel for
storms to redevelop tonight into Tuesday morning. The convection
that models develop tonight may linger across the region which
would bring a potential low end flooding concern. The rather dry
conditions over the region will aid in limiting the potential for
flooding concerns. However, if storms begin training, some
locations could see flooding.

The southwesterly flow will continue into Tuesday with additional
strong to severe storms expected through the day. At least one
model develops a squall line and moves it through the region
Tuesday afternoon. Forecast instability near 3000j/kg, residual
boundary from today's convection and a potential lingering low
level jet would all contribute to strong to severe storms.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday)
Issued at 122 PM CDT Mon Jun 25 2018

Lingering storms will diminish through Tuesday night thanks to an
upper level ridge that begins to move east across the Plains and
into the Ozarks region by Wednesday.

With the ridge in place over the center of the country and a warm
moist airmass over the area, temperatures will start their climb
into the 90s. With afternoon highs expected in the lower to
middle 90s Wednesday through Friday, heat index values will climb
to between 100 and 110 for the latter half of the week and into
the weekend.

Heat headlines will be needed for Wednesday and likely into
Saturday. This will be from the combination of the heat and the
high humidity from the rainfall of the past few days.

The next chance for rain and possibly a slightly cooler airmass
should arrive Sunday into Monday next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1145 PM CDT Mon Jun 25 2018

For the 06z TAFS, some convection may affect the SGF/BBG terminals
from the onset through the first few hours with another round
possible later in the morning. Outside of the convection we can
expect VFR conditions with brief MVFR/IFR conditions within the
convection. Afternoon convection may be a bit further east of the
terminals and will hold off for now on any mention.
