Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1220 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2023 Key Messages: 1. Above normal temperatures will continue across the region today through Wednesday. 2. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, mainly across southwestern and south central Missouri and southeastern Kansas. No severe weather is expected, but gusty winds, small hail and localized heavy rainfall may be possible with the stronger storms. 3. A cooler and drier airmass may move into the region during the middle to end the week. .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 202 AM CDT Mon Jun 5 2023 Very little change in the weather pattern will lead to another day of afternoon and evening showers and storms. While most locations will remain dry areas south and west of Warsaw to Lebanon to Alton line will see the better chances for any storms. Instability will be good enough to allow for some stronger updrafts in any storms that develop. Temperatures will again climbing into the upper 80s to around 90. With the relatively dry air in place overnight lows will fall into .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 202 AM CDT Mon Jun 5 2023 The blocking pattern will remain in place for another day heading into Tuesday allowing for one more day with chances for afternoon showers and storms and temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s. The summer like pattern will change as a backdoor cold front moves from northeast to southwest across the region late Wednesday night into Thursday. This will bring a additional chances for showers and thunderstorms and bring cooler conditions as high pressure behind the front moves towards the area. This will bring more normal highs in the lower to middle 80s for the end of the week into the weekend. The upper level pattern will be different by the weekend with the Omega block lifting north and a southern upper level stream of energy bringing the potential for showers and storms for the weekend. The pattern is rather jumbled however and will have to monitor later model runs. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1215 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2023 VFR conditions are expected through the period with the exception of the potential for conditions to deteriorate to MVFR coincident with any showers/thunderstorms that have a ~30% chance of impacting the SGF and BBG airfields this afternoon. PoPs up to 15% will exist at JLN, so a shower or storm is not out of the question, but potential is too low for inclusion in the TAFs. Winds will remain light and variable, <10 kts. Sky cover will increase as afternoon showers move through but clear out again into the evening hours. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
