2. Cooler and drier weather early this week.
3. Rain chances return late in the week.
.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 126 AM CDT Mon Apr 25
2022
Current radar estimated rainfall totals show a swath of 1-1.5
inches across south-central Missouri, up to 2 inches across
portions of Stone County. Areal Flood Warnings have been issued
for these areas through Monday morning for possible minor flooding
of creeks and low-water crossings. Expect additional accumulations
up to half an inch locally for SW Missouri. Rain should
completely exit our area by mid-morning.
Drier air looks to replace this airmass as dew points tumble into
the mid to upper 30s this afternoon. Cloud cover will diminish as
surface high pressure builds over the Plains. Clear skies and
light winds will allow overnight low temperatures to drop into the
mid 30s across our far northern CWA, resulting in frost
potential. A Frost Advisory has been issued until 9 AM for our
northernmost counties.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 126 AM CDT Mon Apr 25 2022
Tuesday: Cooler and drier conditions will persist into Tuesday
with high temperatures in the low 60s. Some limited fire weather
conditions are possible with RH values in the low 30s.
Wed/Thur: A broad ridge of high pressure looks to take hold over
much of the central CONUS, bringing southerly winds and a slight
uptick in temperatures. Ensembles have a weak shortwave making
its way across Kansas and Missouri late Wednesday night/Thursday,
bringing the chance of some showers and thunderstorms. Current
NBM rainfall totals through Thursday are around a quarter to half
an inch.
Fri/Sat/Sun: A more impressive shortwave is progged to slide into
the western Plains Friday afternoon, bringing rain chances
through the end of the forecast period. However, there are
significant differences in the ensembles regarding the
evolution/intensity of this shortwave by the end of the week (WPC
Cluster Analysis). The forecast will need to be monitored in the
coming days as this system comes into better view.
