Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 607 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2019 ...00Z Aviation Update... .SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Tonight) Issued at 252 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2019 Scattered showers and storms continue to occur across portions of central and south central Missouri this afternoon and could continue into the early evening hours, especially across south central Missouri. Cloud to ground lightning and briefing heavy rainfall will be the main risk with this activity. A shortwave trough is tracking east across Kansas this afternoon. Instability and deep layer shear are increasing ahead of the trough, with the cap weakening. Storms are starting to develop across eastern Kansas this afternoon and will track north east into the area late this afternoon into this evening, mainly this evening. This activity will mainly remain north of the I-44 corridor. The deep layer shear and instability will support the risk for a few strong to severe storms, with hail up to the size of ping pong balls and localized damaging wind gusts with a few of the strongest storms. These storms will be more scattered in nature and the better chances across the area will be this evening north of I-44. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible with the storms, but with the scattered nature, the flash flood risk is low. As the trough moves across the area late this evening into tonight additional showers and storms will be possible overnight, again mainly along and north of I-44. A few strong storms will be possible, but the overall severe risk will be lower overnight than this afternoon and evening. Highs today will be a little trickier with clouds and scattered storms over the area. A warm air mass is still in place across the area. Where some breaks in the clouds occur highs in the mid to upper 80s will be possible with low 80s expected where more clouds occur. Lows tonight will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Saturday) Issued at 252 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2019 Upper level ridge will build over the region Sunday and remain in place through early next week. This will continue the well above normal temperatures across the area. Highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s will occur each day. An upper level trough will move across the region during the middle to the end of next week. This will flatten the ridge and allow a front to move through the region. Showers and storms will occur with passage of the front and trough. A cooler air mass will also move into the area behind the front. Highs in the upper 60s and 70s with lows in the upper 40 and 50s are expected late next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening) Issued at 601 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2019 Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed across eastern Kansas this evening along a frontal zone. The expectation is for these storms to stay north of the major southwest Missouri terminals. The only exception could be JLN, where a shower or thunderstorm will be possible. Otherwise, VFR will be the rule tonight as only mid-level broken ceilings accompany the thunderstorm activity to the west and north. Surface winds will remain out of the south around 10 kts through most of this TAF period. There could be a few gusts between 20-25 kts early this evening before sunset. Then, gusts ramp up near 25 kts again tomorrow afternoon at the JLN and SGF terminals. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
