.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 204 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Synoptic overview and current conditions: Water vapor imagery
and upper level analysis show a fairly zonal pattern across the
CONUS with the main jet energy along the northern tier states.
Some low level jet energy was from the southwest to northeast
across southern Missouri. Precipitable water values from the 12z
SGF sounding were 1.85" which eclipses the daily max
climatologically. MCS remnant clouds cleared out this morning
and we've been seeing some cumulus develop as the air becomes
unstable across the area this afternoon. Temperatures in the low
to mid 80s and dew points in the upper 60s to mid 70s were
yielding surface based CAPE values in the 1000-3500 j/kg range.

Rest of the afternoon and tonight: A surface boundary was
shifting into the area from the southwest and is expected to
become fairly stationary over the area tonight. PW values are
expected to remain very high over the area in the 1.8 to 2.2"
range. A few scattered storms may develop during the afternoon
and may be strong to severe with hail to the size of ping pongs
and wind gusts up to 60 mph. More numerous storms are then
expected this evening into the overnight with the same severe
weather risk along with widespread heavy rain. The best chances
for the heaviest rain will be along and north of the frontal
boundary roughly in a wide corridor from Nevada to Springfield
to Eminence. Repeated thunderstorms with heavy rain within this
corridor are expected tonight with widespread 1 to 3 inches of
rain. Some localized areas of 5 to 7 inches of rain can not be
ruled out which will likely lead to flash flooding. A flood
watch is in effect for the entire area through Sunday afternoon.

Sunday: Thunderstorms with heavy rain will be ongoing Sunday
morning along with likely flash flooding where the storms
trained across the same locations. The overall trend will be to
shift south into southern Missouri and eventually out of the
area with less coverage during the afternoon hours and mainly
over the south. The cloud cover and rain will keep temperatures
cooler on Sunday with highs generally in the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 204 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Early next week: We'll be on the western edge of the upper level
trough with northerly flow that will bring a strong area of
surface high pressure into the area. This will force the higher
dew points and temperatures to the south and should keep the
rain chances out of the area, while bringing a cooler and drier
air mass to the region for the beginning of next week. Highs
will generally be in the 70s on Monday and Monday night with
lows in the 50s.

Tuesday: The high pressure system will begin to shift to the
east and we will start to see some return moisture beginning to
creep back into the western CWA. An upper shortwave will dive
southeast and potentially clip our southwest CWA, so we have
some low pops (15-25%).

Wed - Fri: Moisture will continue to increase over the area
along with afternoon/evening instability so low pops will be in
the forecast on a daily basis. The main upper level support will
be well to the north of the area during this period, so
widespread severe storms are not expected at this time.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 652 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Storms have started to develop across central Missouri early
this evening. These storms will continue to develop and move
south through the area this evening. Additional storms have
developed across western Kansas and will continue to move east
and will move across the area tonight into Sunday. Showers and
storms will impact portions of the area into Sunday morning
before moving out of the entire area. MVFR to IFR conditions
will be possible with the storms.

204 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Marginal tornado risk.
  Slight hail risk.
  Slight thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Significant lightning risk.
  Limited excessive heat risk.
  Significant excessive rainfall risk

DISCUSSION...

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible late this afternoon and
early evening. Some strong to severe storms will be possible, with
hail to the size of ping pong balls, wind gusts up to 60 mph with
an isolated tornado risk not out of the question.

Coverage of thunderstorms is then expected to increase tonight
with increasing potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
Rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are expected across portions of
the Missouri Ozarks and southeastern Kansas with localized
amounts of 5 to 7 inches.

While the exact location of the heaviest rain axis remains
uncertain at this time, the most likely broad corridor of heavy
rain will be centered from Nevada to Springfield to Eminence.

A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire area from 7 PM Saturday
to 1 PM Sunday.

The potential for severe storms will also continue into late
tonight with hail to the size of half dollars and damaging wind
gusts to 60 mph being the primary potential severe weather
hazards. The main threat for damaging wind gusts would come with
any storms that form into line segments.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

The potential for thunderstorms will continue into Sunday with
the primary potential hazard being cloud to ground lightning.
Residual flooding may also be ongoing.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this evening over the area with
the risk of isolated tornadoes still possible.
