Area Forecast Discussion

318 AM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022
Key Messages:
1. Final day for heat headlines as cooler and less humid air
spreads into the region for the weekend.
2. Isolated to scattered convection today.
3. Summertime high retreats back over the Mountain West Tuesday
through Thursday of next work week keeping temperatures near
normal with reduced humidity.
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Scattered convection had reached portions of southeast Kansas and
west central Missouri this morning as a weak cold front was
approaching from the north. This convection is expected to
continue developing to the south as the day progresses.
Unfortunately it does not appear that everyone will receive rain
today.
Today will be the final day for heat headlines as cooler and less
humid air will spread into the region behind the cold front. We
adjusted the headlines to match heat index expectations for this
afternoon.
For tonight, look for lows to gradually fall into the 70s as
surface winds shift to the north.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
For many locations on Saturday, temperatures will only reach the
middle to upper 80s. This cooler weather will be welcomed by
anyone participating in outdoor activities. Slightly warmer air is
expected on Sunday with highs reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s.
No rain is expected through Saturday or Sunday.
Look for possible headlines on Monday as temperatures warm back
into the upper 90s to lower 100s. The summertime high attempts to
build back toward the region helping to warm those temperatures
back up. However, models have been very consistent with retreating
the summertime high back over the Mountain West states. This will
keep temperatures near normal Tuesday through Thursday with less
humidity.
There are also some weak signals for precipitation chances Monday
night through Tuesday. Otherwise widespread rainfall does not
appear to be likely anytime soon.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1132 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2022
High pressure was beginning to move out of the region with
showers and storms across northern Missouri tonight. This
activity is expected to remain north of the Ozarks with only some
high to middle clouds moving across the region overnight.
There is some indications that a few isolated to widely scattered
storms may develop and impact the regions terminals Friday
afternoon, however chances are less than 50 percent. This will
occur as a weak cold front makes its way slowly south over the
next 24 to 36 hours.
Surface winds will shift out of the north and west behind the
front primarily for KJLN and KSGF, as long as the front makes it
to the I-44 corridor.
