Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 146 PM CDT Thu Oct 14 2021 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) It was a dark and dreary day over extreme southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks. Many areas experienced light rain at times, as temperatures struggled to warm out of the 60s. For tonight, additional showers are possible, especially during the evening hours. We can not rule out a thunderstorm or two, however, instability levels have decreased throughout the day. It's possible we see a slight increase in cape early Friday morning across southern Missouri, setting the stage for a few strong storms. The Storms Prediction Center has a "marginal" risk outlined for Friday across portions of southern Missouri, and we plan to stick with that messaging. Scattered convection will persist Friday morning into the afternoon hours as an upper level low pressure system finally approaches from the west. A modest cape-shear combination is expected on Friday, limiting the frequency of strong to severe storms. Friday's convection should exit the region by late afternoon or early evening. Overnight temperatures Friday night into Saturday morning will be cool, with readings falling into the upper 30s and lower 40s. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) A chilly and dry weekend is on tap as a continental airmass from the northern Plains spreads across the region. Sunny conditions are expected on Saturday with most locations warming into the low 60s. West breezes at 5 to 10 mph will continue into Sunday under sunny skies. Sunday's temperatures could warm to near 70, making for a nice day for outdoor activities. A long wave ridge of high pressure translates across the region Sunday through Tuesday, allowing for beautiful fall conditions. Southerly winds will increase, bringing back a modified Gulf airmass. This airmass will be somewhat moisture starved as southeast trajectories in the western Gulf do not occur until late Monday into Tuesday. Highs on Monday and Tuesday will warm into the low 70s. We may need to bump these highs up a bit given the large ridge overhead. By Wednesday, our next upper level storm system approaches from the west, forcing showers and thunderstorms by late afternoon or through the evening hours. Since moisture will be somewhat lacking with Wednesday's airmass, it's possible that instability levels will struggle as well. We're still a few days out, but these are the preliminary signals we are noticing with Wednesday's system. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Pilots flying in and out of the southwest Missouri airports will be dealing with reduced flight conditions over the next 24 hours. A storm system continues to approach the region from this west, pulling in Gulf moisture. Low ceilings, precipitation, and reduced visibilities have resulted from this weather pattern. These conditions will continue through the afternoon and overnight hours, as additional showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected for develop. Therefore, pilots will also need to monitor radar trends. Severe or robust thunderstorms are not expected. Surface winds will remain light and variable, although, at times those winds could persist from the south or southeast. Safe Travels. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
