...Updated 12Z Aviation Discussion...
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Mon Jun 28 2021
Isolated to scattered convection continues across portions of
Ozarks region this morning. The potential for localized heavy
rainfall and flash flooding continue in the ongoing Flash Flood
Watch across southwest Missouri this morning. The expectation is
for this activity to slowly dissipate through the early morning
hours. Otherwise, most areas are going to remain rather dry
through this morning.
Expect temperatures to climb into the lower 80s (northwest) to
middle 80s (southeast). By this afternoon, short term model
guidance suggests additional showers and thunderstorms to develop
across portions of southeast Kansas into west central Missouri.
This activity will be similar to recent rainfall over the last
several days, in which rainfall rates will approach 1 to 3 inches
per a hour. The expectation is that repeated rounds of
precipitation will train over the same areas that are already saturated
(lower FFG) from recent heavy rainfall. As a result, there will
be a continued concern for potential flash flooding through
tonight. The area of highest concern has been placed in a Flash
Flood Watch through Tuesday morning. This area is northwest of the
Interstate 44 corridor, or along and northwest of a line from
Joplin to Osage Beach. This area could see additional rainfall
amounts of 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts through
Tuesday morning.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Mon Jun 28 2021
For Tuesday through Thursday, the wet pattern is expected to
continue with daily chances for scattered showers and
thunderstorms. This will be accompanied by an additional flooding
threat. Daily highs will reach into the 80s, with the warmest
temperatures expected across south central Missouri. There will be
periods of dry time through the week with much of this activity
remaining scattered in nature and diurnally driven.
By late this week into the weekend, models suggest a potential
shift in the upper level pattern. Model guidance currently depict
an upper level low retrograding into the central CONUS. This would
bring the region generally drier and cooler conditions through the
holiday weekend. There still remains a few model discrepancies at
this time and will be fine tuned we progress through the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning)
Issued at 600 AM CDT Mon Jun 28 2021
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are present across the Ozarks
region this morning. KJLN will continue to see MVFR conditions as
this activity moves through portions of southwest Missouri this
morning. Brief IFR conditions are possible in the heaviest
precipitation with further reduced visibilities and ceilings.
For later today, expect additional showers and thunderstorms to
across the area. The area of highest coverage will be along and
north of Interstate 44 through tonight. This could result in MVFR
conditions at KJLN and KSGF through tonight. Meanwhile, KBBG
could see an isolated shower or thunderstorm late this
morning/early afternoon. Overall, there will be periods of dry
time across the area today with mostly cloud skies.
South/southeast surface winds will remain light at 5 to 10 knots
through the TAF period.
