Strong to severe storms developed during the early morning hours and produced up to half dollar sized hail over southwest Missouri as a southward moving front passed through the region. The front stalled near the Arkansas state border during the morning and afternoon and leading to several rounds of thunderstorms and isolated flash flooding.

NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 10, 4:34 PM CST, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Springfield MO 534 PM CDT Sun Apr 10 2022 Key Messages: 1. Thunderstorms, some severe, likely late this evening through tonight. 2. Additional rounds of severe thunderstorms Monday through Wednesday, with the chances for widespread storms Tuesday night and Wednesday. 3. Quiet but cooler weather is then expected for Thursday and Friday. .SHORT TERM...(This evening through tonight) Issued at 255 PM CDT Sun Apr 10 2022 Moisture continues to surge northward into the area ahead of a trough and cold front currently northwest and west of the CWA. Models continue to show initiation of discrete convection along and just north of the front as it moves into the I-44 corridor late this evening (8pm-10pm time frame). With around 2,000 J/kg of MLCAPE due to steep mid-level lapse rates and 40-50 kts of deep layer shear, convection should quickly become strong to severe after initiation. Supercells are possible for a short period of time prior to upscale growth. While convection remains discrete, hail to the size of ping pong balls (1.5") and 60mph winds would be the primary hazards. A minimal chance for a short lived tornado or two will exist since storms will be training along/near the frontal boundary. By around or shortly after midnight, storms should grow upscale to multi-cell clusters and perhaps QLCS, mainly focusing south of I-44 by that point. Mainly looking at a damaging wind threat with this activity. Overall intensity and threat will gradually diminish through the night. Depending on storm training, a flash flood threat could develop over the southwestern CWA. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Sunday) Issued at 255 PM CDT Sun Apr 10 2022 The cold front will stall over the southeastern CWA Monday, but guidance differs on how far southeast. A shortwave will then move through Monday evening, which should lead to additional thunderstorm development along the front. Overall agree with SPC day 2 risk showing severe potential south of I-44, but confidence in details is limited at this time since there are some unknowns with how quickly earlier convection will evolve. As a low 980s mb low moves across Nebraska (with a sharp surface trough/cold front extending through Kansas), gusty southerly winds are expected Tuesday. Could see gusts of 35-45 mph if higher end of guidance verifies. A shortwave will move through the area Tuesday evening, potentially leading to convection. However, a strong cap will be in place (250-350 J/kg of CIN) that should prevent most convection. The severe weather threat is very conditional. If convection can break through the cap and be sustained, strong shear and very steep lapse rates/high instability would pose a significant threat, especially with regard to very large hail. Overall, the potential for convective initiation appears low Tuesday evening. The sharp trough and cold front will move through late Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing much better chances for widespread convection and significant severe potential. Very steep mid-level lapse rates will lead to as much as 2,000-3,000 J/kg of CAPE, which when combined with favorable hodographs and 60-70 kts of deep layer shear will allow for very large hail, strong damaging winds, and tornado potential. There is some uncertainty in how much instability may develop, so continue to check back for updates. Overall, this period will see the highest chances for widespread severe weather with this multi-day event. Thursday and Friday will be quiet for the most part with highs in the upper 50s to upper 60s. We could see lows in the mid to upper 30s early Thursday, so that period will need to be monitored for frost potential. There is a considerable amount of uncertainty for next weekend. The forecast features chances for rain and highs in the mid 50s to upper 60s, but expect changes for this period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 530 PM CDT Sun Apr 10 2022 Showers and thunderstorms will move into the area tonight into early Monday morning. SGF and JLN will likely see the thunderstorm threat after 03z, with the main timeframe near and after 06z. BBG will see the main thunderstorm threat closer to 09z. Gusty south winds up to 30kts will continue through the overnight hours until the thunderstorms arrive, then a cold front will switch winds to the north. Some thunderstorms overnight could be severe. Northerly winds will continue through Monday. MVFR ceilings and vis are likely to develop Monday morning and last through Monday afternoon. IFR ceilings are possible at BBG. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...Titus LONG TERM...Titus AVIATION...Burchfield

Weather hazards expected... Limited tornado risk. Limited hail risk. Limited thunderstorm wind damage risk. Significant lightning risk. Limited excessive rainfall risk Limited non thunderstorm wind risk. Elevated fire weather risk. DISCUSSION... Southerly winds will continue to gust to 30 to 45 mph into this evening. Dry conditions across portions of the area combined with these gusty winds will lead to elevated fire weather conditions through this afternoon. A cold front will move southeast into the area this evening into tonight. This front will be the focus for thunderstorms at times with some severe storms possible with large hail to 1.5 inches in diameter, damaging winds to 60 mph and an isolated tornado being the main concerns. Localized flooding will be possible if thunderstorms move over the same areas repeatedly. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. A cold front will stall over the region Monday. This front will remain the focus for thunderstorms at times with some severe storms possible with large hail and damaging winds being the main concerns. Additional storms will be possible Tuesday and Wednesday as a large storm system moves through the central U.S.. Severe storms will again be possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed later this evening into tonight. && More detailed information can be accessed at: http://www.weather.gov/sgf/dsspacket This product in graphical format...along with other weather... hydrological and climate information...at http://www.weather.gov/sgf Titus
